Although we were allowed to rest, I don't believe anyone truly rested.
Why? Because of what we were subjected to, leave me with lifelong scars. I fear what I might suffer due to these so-called "Gods." Anyway, let me tell you about "Trial 4."
~The fourth trial will begin soon!
Please be prepared!
The Labyrinth!~
I can say that if I knew what followed the third trial... I would have ended my life then. All I can say is that if the Gods have read Greek mythology or were inspired by it, 3,760 of us were thrown...
~Trial Four: The Labyrinth!
Find one of the 1,880 Bracelets of Theseus.
Conditions: 1. Maximum time allowed 5h ,
2. Survival in the Minotaur's Labyrinth ,
3. Protecting the Lantern offered by Hades~
What can I say... the best trap I've encountered so far. That lantern almost cost me my life. To describe the labyrinth… total darkness, fog, rain, and, as I mentioned, the Minotaur. If only that were it, but no, it was too simple... that lantern provided light and, of course, traps and all sorts of nonsense.
I can only say that I faced death five times. My luck played its part from the beginning. I almost fell headfirst into a mud filled slope, but the wall made of human skulls did its job.
Oh, I forgot to mention that the labyrinth walls were made of skulls. Well, twice I almost fell into spike pits.
The fourth time, I felt the blade of Minos's axe. When I came face to face with him?
I went downhill just as he was having dinner with the competitor's body he had already killed. Let's say my agility saved me again and mud saved me this time. And the last time, I couldn't find a miserable Bracelet... despite getting one.
~Trial four completed: 1,478 winners.
2,282 players were eliminated~
We got a reward this time too. Well, I risked my life for it. Especially since that Monster's blow destroyed my shield. That's why I said that treasure paid its price.I hope the 5th trial will be quiet at least compared to the last two.

I've caught the attention of 8 Gods? What the hell! I'm currently in 33rd place.
That means there are still 32 people more capable than me. Setting that aside, if I reach stage 6, I can talk to the 'Director.' I'll carefully consider what to ask. Now I really have a good reason to live until then.
Well, I'll write when I return, I think I noticed a familiar face.
Although I assume it was only 4 PM, and the previous test wasn't the easiest... I guess they don't care that we're exhausted. At least I was right about a familiar face.
It was a former high school classmate. At least now I have someone to talk to compared to before. I suppose that voice knows how to disturb the peace.
~Trial five will begin in 30 minutes.
Please get ready!~
Although we never got along well in the past, this time we embraced each other sincerely and forcibly. To not lose each other. Well...
~Trial five: Search.
The test involves finding a weapon.
There are over 3000 weapons in the area.
Conditions: 1. Time limit 1h.
2. The weapon must accept you as a user.
3. Any player without a weapon will be penalized.
4. Any player who doesn't find a weapon will be eliminated.~
To find a weapon? Well, this time it wasn't difficult at all. I saw all kinds of weapons, from swords and knives to scythes and pistols. I got hold of a peculiar "weapon." It was an odd spear with two blades on each side until almost halfway, and at the opposite end, it had a kind of double scythe with a sharp tip.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, Selena got a pair of 45 or 38 caliber revolvers. Surprisingly, I felt good, especially now that I have a weapon. Well, we also have those from the treasure, but a real weapon compared to those silly things.
~Trial five completed: 1.207 winners.
200 were penalized.
71 players were eliminated.
The weapon will be used by the finder.
Until the end of the 10 trials.~
Sounds like I ended up with an interesting weapon. Well, until I either die or complete the 10 rounds. I'm glad at least I have someone to talk to, and I managed to get this weapon. Now, let's get used to it. It seems quite complicated to use...
