As my body finished receiving the divine blessings granted by the gods and goddesses of this realm, I felt an immense surge of energy flood every corner of my being. A tidal wave of power washed over me—warm, radiant, and overwhelming. My limbs felt lighter, my heartbeat steady, and my soul... sharper, brighter.
Once I had fully processed the blessings, I slowly opened my eyes with anticipation.
This is it. I've done it. The Trial of Blessings must be over.
I was ready—ready to move on to the final trial. Ready to complete my main quest. Ready to become a true hero of the Braveheart Kingdom.
But... something felt off.
As my vision cleared, I realized—I was still standing in the Spire of the Forgotten Goddess.
I looked around. The gods and goddesses who had blessed me were still there... but instead of joy or celebration on their faces, I saw confusion.
