I thought it was already stated that if you don't complete the level at the end of the round you get points based on how far you get
You don't get points for every failed attempt, but when the round ends. The fail messages for the 6th floor weren't the round ends.
It's a tutorial, right? You're supposed to do the tutorial and then return back to the real world to fight the monsters. Letting people go back to previous floors, where there are weaker monsters, doesn't help in that goal.
I am just thinking of the premise of reality getting harder as people progress through the tutorial, the earlier statement was only an example of a theory that the tutorial levels are connected to another world and perhaps after you complete the level/make the clear permanent. there could be butterfly effects depending on the choices you made. Like if you waited for the guards and survived 30 days you could have made contact with the Holy Knights and could have been rewarded, and for the goblin kingdom; he could have wiped them out, meaning that there would be no more goblin's in the future levels or not becoming enemies with the goblin's for killing thier king or something, Its just some random thoughts...
Its unlikely a combat skill. Probably more like fast travel to somewhere you've been before. With blink you instantly appear while this magic is warping space to travel great distances with some time lag. Quote "I walked as I folded the space. I was able to get to the end of the desert before long." Its nothing like the mock instant transmission skill like blink.
I wouldn't say blink emblem is completely outclassed by land-folding. Blink can be used in any position for a short-distance dodge as well as providing an inbuilt attack with it's speed once Hojae has the reaction for it. It has different uses.
Land folding sounds like a completely OP magic. What happens to the enemies in the land that gets folded? Do they get squashed as well?
I wonder how many centuries it will take for the dragon to be strong enough to clear the 60th floor solo~ I think in the end he has to wait for his future waifu
A missed bonus event for skill grinding is a loss but not so much since this is Hell difficulty. There's worse waiting for him.
