It cannot be mapped.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that was how it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no map to rely on, the only tool he had to locate the [Token Holders] was the [Token Compass] and his own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wouldn't normally be a problem, but this domain was massive, so large that even with a tool that pointed him in the right direction, he wasn't sure if 30 minutes would be enough to find someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only hope it would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was a problem for later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, he kept moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hours passed as Alex ran through the barren landscape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spotted several participants along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were alone, while others travelled in groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They each had their own strategies: either chase the [Token Holders] now to guarantee their spot and fight as a team, or simply wait for the end, like Alex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't engage any of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no point in wasting energy on fights that didn't matter, even if that meant reducing the amount of people who could be annoying in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, as he kept running, something caught his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And not just any structure, this one was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was at the very edge of the trial domain, standing against a massive dome-shaped barrier that stretched endlessly in every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or at least, what remained of one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Space City]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex approached cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city was mostly intact, with tall buildings made of strange, silver-like metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had an eerie stillness, as if it had been abandoned for centuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what interested Alex the most wasn't the city itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trial domain's edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a giant dome, so large that he couldn't see the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xyrran had said that this was an entire battlefield, and standing here, Alex could finally see what he meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, he reached out and touched the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful force struck him instantly, launching him backward several meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex barely landed on his feet, his body tingling from the impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A message appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Don't attempt to leave again.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex exhaled sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So there really was no way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that he expected there to be one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dusting himself off, he turned his attention back to the [Space City].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There had to be something here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And sure enough, as soon as he stepped past the first ruined building, a golden panel appeared in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Space City Trial: Monster Wave]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Defeat five waves of monsters.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex cracked his knuckles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another one, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, he had nothing better to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Alex accepted the trial, the air around him shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground rumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of shadowy creatures crawled out of the ruins, their bodies flickering between solid and intangible, like living darkness given form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their hollow, glowing eyes locked onto Alex, and then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They charged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex didn't move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Elements Fox Summons!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already done that with the other trial, but we don't change a recipe that works, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pulse of energy spread through the air as the elemental foxes materialized around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, the foxes lunged at the monsters, tearing through them like paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire scorched the shadows, lightning crackled through their bodies, and wind blades sliced them apart with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first wave was gone in seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the second wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the creatures were larger, faster, stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the result was the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex barely needed to lift a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fox summons handled everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third, fourth, and fifth waves followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each one more powerful than the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, none of them posed a real challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, it was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A final notification appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Trial Completed.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Reward: ???]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another chest materialized in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex opened it without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, there was a single item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Token Veil (One-Time Use)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Effect: Makes the user completely undetectable on all detection-type items or abilities for 10 minutes.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex's eyebrows raised slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another useful tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this, he now had two items that could give him a major advantage in the trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were likely more structures like this across the domain, each with their own trials and rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alex had no interest in searching for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already had enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he sat down against the chest, arms crossed, and closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't sleeping, just thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hours passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The domain remained eerily silent, broken only by the occasional distant sound of battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Alphox spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You shouldn't rest, human. If you sit around too much, they might judge you as useless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex opened one eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are the criteria for that, anyway?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From what I know, it's based on how proactive you are, how many fights you take, and if you manage to impress them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex smirked, \"Then it should be fine as long as I do a bunch of interesting things by the end, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm…\" Alphox scratched his head. \"I guess so. But be careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden panel appeared in front of Alex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[And…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[…Even if they try anything, you can always use World Cleaver.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True. Thanks, Kaelios.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[No problem, human.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, he continued waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A notification appeared before every participant in the trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Time Remaining: 12:00:00]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Half of the time has passed. It is time to start the real challenge.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex opened his eyes fully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That… didn't sound good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The participant count had dropped to 170.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Token Holders] had been switching constantly, except for the strongest ones, like Astariel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, the true rules of the trial were revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[New Rules Added]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[1. The domain will gradually shrink as time goes on. Do not touch the shrinking barrier.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[2. Monsters will now begin spawning inside the domain, not just within structures.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the final, most dangerous rule—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[3. The Calamity is slowly approaching. It will chase Token Holders when the time is right.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex's expression darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This changed everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew what \"The Calamity\" was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the fact that it was specifically hunting [Token Holders] meant one thing—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting a token was now more dangerous than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex stood up and turned toward the edge of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he noticed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A section of the city was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More specifically, it was now outside the dome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex approached the edge of the trial domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking down, he saw it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The barrier was closing in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it's actually shrinking…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a way to ensure no one just hid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end, the trial domain would be nothing more than a tiny battlefield, forcing every remaining participant into direct combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This trial was designed to have only ten survivors at most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this rate…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There might be even fewer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex exhaled and turned away, dashing in the opposite direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trial had entered its most dangerous phase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he wasn't going to sit around waiting for death.\u003C\u002Fp>",1245,"2026-06-03T12:12:47.112Z","2026-06-03T12:12:55.154Z",1,"novelbin.me","38c75409a232b5139367adf82117c6d1ca6f3a6d5e45057e306dba474a43a9ac","awakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-chapter-271","awakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-chapter-269",516,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fawakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-cover.jpg"]
