Skyler nodded, and 505 showed him his status. His excitement spiked at that.

"Hehehe."

Skyler's eyes sparkled as he saw his status. He had worked hard to get to where he was! He was sure no other Light in all of Eldoria had ever jumped from being a 0-star to a 4-star in just a single freaking month!

Even though the skill 'self-healing' seemed to mock him for getting injured too often, it was quite beneficial since it automatically activated even when he was unconscious.

505, who had grown accustomed to his eerie laugh over the last month, observed his old behavior, which surfaced from time to time, with calmness. Still, it wondered how its host could be so joyful each time he checked his status and noticed that he had gained a little more strength.

It was as if Skyler had a talent for finding happiness in even the simplest things. Or maybe he was just a positive human?

Skyler cleared his throat when the thought that his progress should be breaking news for the human continent crossed his mind.

"Ahem... maybe I'm getting a bit carried away. I need to tone it down a bit. 505, this is your fault! Don't praise me too much!"

505: "...."

What did it even do?

Skyler waved his hand to dismiss his status screen before settling down on a rock.

"505, the points I have are all earned from killing monsters. Will I receive more points in an hour, since it shows that passing the preliminary test will grant me points?"

("Yes, host! You will receive an additional 1,000 points the moment you teleport to the land of winners.")

He nodded and waited eagerly for the final hour of the preliminary test to pass quickly, excitement dancing in his blue eyes.

His life had changed completely. Now, he was going to become the strongest Light in all of Eldoria—one even greater than the 'him' he had seen on the throne.

The moment the last hour of the preliminary test ended, a brilliant gray light enveloped Skyler's entire body. Not just his, but the bodies of every single person alive in the testing ground.

Then, everyone vanished.

An innumerable number of people from multiple different races were teleported to the land of winners, while those who failed were cast out into the outside world, back to the places where they had been before being transported to the preliminary test, never to have another chance to enter the Battle Royal again. Now, all they could do was weep over their defeat.

It was a harsh selection process, and only the best were permitted to advance further.
