Cain's passage through the first six rings was remarkably smooth.
Every trial taught principles he had already mastered long ago. However, rather than dismissing them simply because they were familiar, he carefully analyzed every lesson and challenge, revisiting concepts that had once laid the foundation of his path.

A smile appeared on Cain's face as he felt those changes settling within him.
"I can feel my foundation becoming more stable. When the time comes, achieving a breakthrough will be much easier."
That was exactly what he had hoped to gain.
