Karl and Celeste stood before their well-earned reward, a black chest with intricate white metal designs, radiating an unmistakable aura of importance.
The two had just reached level 20 and chosen their [Specialized Classes] after clearing the second floor of the [Tower of Trials] in [Nightmare] difficulty.

As they approached, Karl dismissed all his summons except for the [Frenzied Rabbit], which instantly hopped back onto Celeste's hair and nestled into place.
"Here goes," Karl muttered, gripping the chest's lid.
He lifted it open, and a blinding light burst forth, covering the entire area.
For a moment, neither of them could see anything.
