Synopsis

The chapter opens with the world seemingly being drawn into a 'Tower of Trials,' where the protagonist finds himself facing a sand golem. This is juxtaposed with flashbacks of him losing his parents in a 'dungeon break' seven years prior, motivating his desire to become a hunter. Despite his dedicated training, he is expelled from the hunter training center due to a lack of talent, culminating in a confrontation where he is mocked for his failure and told to give up.
