"I'll go first," Juanlu said as he took the King's Seal.
Alka nodded, watching Juanlu step onto the Teleportation Platform. Everyone else was nearby, waiting to observe. The triangular entity seemed unusually excited, its surface even emitting a faint blue light. Having spent so much time together, they all knew this indicated its heightened emotional state.
"So, are you ready?" the entity began. "Although you already know, I must formally inform you of this beforehand. You only get one attempt at this challenge in your lifetime, and its Difficulty is higher. In challenge mode, your performance will be assessed.
"When your performance exceeds your current capabilities, demonstrating the spirit of enterprise and transcendence, you will earn their favor and receive the rewards you deserve."
Juanlu stood on the Teleportation Platform, took a deep breath with his eyes closed, and nodded.
