?
As the countdown rapidly went down from 100 to 90 and then 80, Drake checked thest system notification that had appeared, which showcased thepletion of the Second Stage of the Trial.
[You have further progressed through the {Special Trial Storyline Quest}: [The Blood-Stained Railroad Trip]!]

[The one that wins will receive a tremendous prize in money, enough to guarantee the rest of their lives infort and without any more worries. However, to get there, you must first survive the trip to the area where the race will begin.]
[You and your family now find yourselves inside of a Train packed full of the most dangerous people of this entire world, assassins, hitmen, criminals, bandits, thieves, psychopaths, and more. All here for the sole purpose of winning the race.]
[And of course, if it wasn''t because of the aforementioned reasons, they would get along and wait until the race began... However, to make things easier, they may begin killing each other to cut down thepetition even if a little bit more.]

[Congrattions! You have sessfully passed the Second Stage of the Trial, managing to do mostly all missions except one. Your heart is apassionate one, and because of that, you''ve managed to even more points.]
[Not only were you able to defeat various threats and keep the entire train safe, but you''ve even managed to save the life of a man that had given up everything for the sake of revenge, and had given him a second chance to amend things and do them right, a chance to live for those that couldn''t.]
[The Bullet Demon has stopped being a target of elimination, bing a powerful ally that will help you and guide you through the Golden Spire Race after he has learned of what you and your family have done for him, he owes you all his life.]
[Each Stage of the Trial will reward you with Points and Rewards based in your clear time and also your performance, actions, and many other variables from every member of the party. However, all rewards will be saved for the end.]
[You have umted +2.500.000 Score Trial Points!]
[Once you finally can Rank Up your ss, you can use these points to decide how powerful it will be. umte as many points as possible by interacting with the world, its people, and even fighting with evil foes.]
"So that''s done, alright..."
As Drake nodded and checked the points, he felt surprised, they were even more than the first stage. That meant that he somehow missed some in the first stage somewhere... It seemed he wasn''t as meticulous as he would have liked.
However, in the second stage they absolutely killed it, and managed to do all things except killing the Bullet Demon, which actually ended creating more rewards unlike if he had killed him.
"It must have been the Crimson Star that gave these many rewards..." he thought. "Hm, seems like he can''t really see this."
He noticed the Bullet Demon had not even given an eye to the system window message that had appeared, it was somethingpletely invisible to him.
Drake nodded, as he noticed a new notification again, this time, it was the third andst Trial Quest!
"It''s finally here..."
Ding!
[You have further progressed through the Trial, unlocking the third andst {Special Trial Storyline Quest}: [The Golden Spire Race]!]
[You and your family have finally made it to the end of the trial, yet it seems like things are finally about to start! The Golden Spire Race is a perilous race that takes ce in three different areas full of dangers, with ten participants, one veteran and winner of the previous race, and a bunch of mysterious pilots, it is time for you to show what you''re made for and win the race or die trying.]
[At the end of the race awaits you the end of the Trial itself, each action you perform in the race will give you additional points based on how impactful they are to others. The more they are impactful to therge audience, the more points you''ll get! Try to impress the audience watching you doing insane, wacky things, or incredible and amazing feats to gain their love and earn more points.]

"So these are the damn quests, this is a bit insane, don''t you think?" Drake felt a bit shocked
by how ridiculous everything was. "Hah, they''re really asking for a lot this time."
It even asked him to fall into traps to make the crowd more excited!
The countdown rapidly reached number ten.
