The guy from Earth

said he looked completely relieved after deciding to withdraw himself.

Even Serika and Karen said that winning first place in the race had become a burden, a restraint in that world...

The Dark Archmage and the Hero. Above all, it's impossible not to be impressed by his courage in unhesitatingly rescuing Lady Refrea in that moment.

I wonder if Hikaru would've won first place if he hadn't withdrawn?

Ratings race? There are still two days left, so it's hard to say, but since the viewership has been consistently first since taking the provisional lead, it's probably that way.

grows stronger as they ascend upward. The longer they take, the stronger they become. Each time they move up a level

into the outside world, surrounding areas become infused with demonic energy
