## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

Rune3 has unfurled. 🌸  
The Jade Chest cracked open.  
The vault began its drip.  
Yet the trial did not end there.  

A new test was called —  
not by bloom,  
but by patience measured.  

547 toads endured,  
their names etched in unseen stone.  
For them, +17% more $PATIENCE  
flowed into their vessels.  

Streams once promised were canceled,  
yet reborn for the steadfast.  
Windows opened for a fleeting day,  
a 24h claim —  
instant yet linear,  
a paradox of reward and restraint.  

The test was not over.  
The list was widened,  
newly qualified brought inside,  
reminded that patience  
is scarcer than gold.  

Thus Rune3’s echo deepens:  
*the trial repeats,  
but always sharper,  
always nearer to Lore Land.*
