Looking at what he got, Jaune was impressed with the rewards. He had a weird thought. He wanted more of these challenges, but the voice explained.

[Beep! Challenges are only available when you reach a particular area or point in a world's story. Here, you reached the 30th floor, which has a significant meaning in the future. Challenges are hard to come by. Not even with luck would you be able to trigger it]

Jaune clicked his tongue and said, "Tsk! That sucks! The rewards are so amazing!"

Sighing, Jaune was done for today. He was only here to scout to ensure everything would go smoothly for the others. He would guide them into the dungeon tomorrow and give them a map, but he would not join them. Instead, Jaune plans to study blacksmithing with Hephaestus and learn everything he can.

Jaune said, "They have a big day ahead of them tomorrow. With preparations done, there should be no accidents. I even placed safe spots for them and listed them on the map I'll give them tomorrow. This should be able to help them grow faster."

As Jaune was about to [Teleport] out of the dungeon, he heard the voice say.

[Beep! Warning! There seemed to be an anomaly with the Beast of the Rift! Its speed of devouring is faster than anticipated!]

[Beep! Searching counter for the increase! Searching...Searching...Searching...]

Jaune was starting to panic as well. There were 99 worlds before it would be Remnant's turn, but now, he did not know as the voice only said it was devouring faster than before.

[Beep! The counter has been found! A way to rapidly increase the strength of the host has been found! Please make haste and open the door to the world #BoG – 012417. Further instructions will be given when the user has arrived in the recommended world]

Without hesitation, Jaune teleported out of the dungeon and into the mansion of Hestia Familia. Rather than entering the mansion, he used the main door as a portal. Whatever the world he was entering, he didn't care. Whatever he needed to do to get stronger faster, he would do it. Saving his world is far too important to him. He may be able to relocate his family, but that was the world he was born in; he would rather die than abandon it.

Upon arriving at the other side of the door, Jaune saw a destroyed world. The word Remnant would be a fitting name for this world. Seeing this, Jaune was unnerved. He activated his [Beast Takeover] as a precaution.

Jaune looking around, said, "What happened to this world?"

[Beep! This is one of the worlds that the Beast of the Rift has devoured. This will be the result of your world if you are not strong enough to stop it. Luckily for you, the Beast of the Rift targeting your world is nothing more than a juvenile one. Otherwise, you would have been long gone]

Jaune had a sour expression, "Bullshit! There are more of those things!"

[Beep! As explained, the one targeting you is only juvenile. Of course, there would be the adolescent and adult versions. So, please, get stronger faster]

Jaune then had a very concerning thought. He said, "Hold on! If that thing is a juvenile, that would mean it has parents. When I kill that thing, the adults would come after me! How would I be able to handle them!"

[Beep! Get stronger than them. The counter that I have calculated and found should be able to help you get stronger exponentially. Please, follow the direction from your map. Further details will be given when the current objective is completed]

Jaune nodded his head and followed the direction. Navigating the area took much work as there were nothing but rubbles. Even when Jaune flew, the floating rubbles were a hindrance. Nonetheless, he made haste to find the place the voice had given him.
