The Trials (3/6)
[The Participant is deemed to be unable to participate in the next Trial, The Trial of The Soul]
[The Trial for this Participant will be temporarily paused]

After half an hour I woke up, but since I did not see the familiar ceiling of my room, I was scared for a moment, before remembering 'The Trials'.
"*yawn* I feel refreshed and ready to continue! So, what should I do?"
[The Participant is now able to participate in the Third Trial, the Trial of the Soul]
"What do you mean, 'The Trial of the Soul'? Does a Soul really exist? Or…"
Before I could say more, the obstacle course from the second Trial disappeared and an mystical-looking altar appeared, on which an purple glowing orb was positioned.
"So, what should I do?"
[In this Trial your Soul Power will be measured]
"And what is Soul Power?"
[Soul Power is your Life Energy. Every remaining one stands for a month you still have to live. Soul Power is also often used in Berserker-Type Skills]
"Is there any way to replenish Soul Power?"
[Yes:]
[1. Potions]
[2. High-Stage Skills]
[3. Natural Treasure]
"Okay… hard to believe, but I guess it is not the most surprising if you think, that I am in a Tower of Trials, destroying Stone Walls and being shot at by an Ironman.
So, what do I have to do?"
[You have to place his hands on the purple orb on the altar for an hour, or it will fail]
"I have to wait there for an hour!? Are you completely absolutely nuts?"

And again no reply
"Fuck it, I will do it."
First Attempt:
I let go of the orb somewhere between minute 20 and 30.
Second Attempt:
I let go of the orb at 35' Minute.
Third Attempt:
"Come on Anthony, you can do it!"
After 5 Minutes:'Hehehe, my little sister is so impatient, she will never get this.'
After 20 Minutes:'Why do I have to do this shit?'
After 50 Minutes:'I wonder what the Common-Grade Treasure and the skill scroll will be. Maybe I will be able to control fire!!!!!'
I was so excited that I let go of the orb.
But I finally made it on the fourth Attempt.
[Your Soul Power is 720]
[If you do not gain Soul Power through the listed Methods or use it for Skills or anything else, the Participant will be able to live for another 720 Months or 60 years]
"So I still have 60 Years to live, if I do not use or get Soul Power, hmm?
[Also, since you were not able to see the results of the second Trial, here are they:]
[Your Agility and Stamina are 9 (Average for a fully grown human male: 10) and 45 (Average for a fully grown human male: 50)]
"Thanks, I think… Is that good or bad?"
[For an average 21 year old human male you are slightly above average]
"Yeah, let's go! Maybe I can be an assassin! 'Anthony, the greatest Assassin of all Time'! "
[You will now be sent to the Fourth Trial, the Combat Trial]
