[You are the first Player to enter the 8th floor!]

[Welcome to 8-1F, 'Field of Trials'.]

[You gain the first-entrance rewards.]

—Your bones become sturdier.

—Your muscles become thicker.

—Your spirit power capacity increases.

[The news of your advancement will be announced to all Players in 12~36 hours.]

[This is the 'middle stage' of the Tower.]

[You can advance to 8-2F when you reach the end of the Field of Trials.]

[Be careful! There are those who despise outsiders at the end of the Field of Trials. They will try to hinder your advancement.]

[But when you reach the end after breaking through all obstacles, they will acknowledge you.]

I arrived at the 8th floor, or more precisely, the floor 8-1. I was close to the half-way mark of the Tower of Wish. Strictly speaking, I had climbed about 40% of the whole thing.

But in a way, it wasn't wrong to call it 60~70% as I would climb much quicker after the 9th floor.

In the original story, the 9th~14th floors ended in about 7 chapters. Of these, about three were about the 9th floor's 'calamities'.

"Huu..."

I took a deep breath and opened my eyes.

A beautiful scenery spread out before my eyes. A vast grassfield, blue and clear sky, sunlight streaming down from cracks in white clouds... Staring at the horizon, I examined Aether, which was fully fused with my body.
