The last embers of the Ursa Venator's massive corpse crackled as Dodge ensured every trace of the battle was burned away. Smoke curled through the cave, carrying the scent of charred flesh, but neither she nor Audi flinched. They had seen far worse.

Without wasting another second, Dodge quickly pressed the Data Remote. A mechanical hum echoed through the cave as a shimmering portal materialized before them. The air crackled with energy.

From within the swirling void, a towering figure emerged a full-armored warrior clad in black steel.

Ninety.

Audi, still covered in blood—his mouth, hands, and clothes stained from his unsettling hunger looked up at the imposing figure. His breath was heavy, his mind still reeling from the battle.

"Did we pass?" he asked, his voice raw.

Ninety remained silent, his cold, unreadable gaze locking onto them. The tension in the cave thickened as Dodge clenched her fists, waiting for the verdict.

Then, finally, Ninety spoke.

"Yes."

Relief washed over Dodge as she exhaled sharply. Audi simply nodded, swallowing the last lingering traces of iron from his mouth.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Ninety crossed his arms. "Are you ready to pick your job now?"

Dodge blinked in surprise. "Already?"

Ninety shook his head. "Not yet. First, clean yourselves up. Tomorrow, I will tell you about the Class Skills and the Clan you are suited for."

With a swift motion, he reached into his inventory and tossed two gleaming objects toward them.

The Necklace of Three.

A thin chain, simple yet undeniably powerful, with a small crystal pendant embedded at its center. The moment Audi and Dodge caught them, the gems pulsed with a soft glow.

"These necklaces are your true identification as adventurers. When the time comes, they will shine upon your chosen Job Statue, marking your path in the world."

Then, Ninety raised his own necklace for them to see. Unlike theirs, his had two crossed axes engraved into the pendant. The metal gleamed with an ancient, battle-worn aura.

"And when you truly embrace your job, the necklace will transform. Look at mine—it has become the Necklace of the Warrior. This necklace allows me to enter the Warrior Village, a hidden floor on Tower 20.5. It's a secret place that only those with the right necklace can access. It acts as a key."

Audi and Dodge exchanged glances, gripping their necklaces a little tighter.

A symbol of their future. A path that would soon be decided.

Ninety" See you Tomorrow,

For now, You can rest, I'll Just Tell The Chief About the Situation.

I'll also report to the Guild That's two Adventurers Pass The Quest and Killed the Floor 8 Boss.".
