After an eventful night, the next morning seemed to drag on forever as the viewers of the cult game show agitatedly awaited for the arrival of the second episode. Meanwhile, government agencies around the world struggled to track the show's IP address, but there was no luck. They tried to hack into the video to look for clues, but everything was encrypted with a language that didn't seem human or anything remotely related to human.

10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...0...BEGIN!

Immediately after the countdown reached zero, the second episode begins. The civil servants could do nothing but watch and pray for the safety of the next pair of contestants.

..........

The screens of more than a billion computers and laptops in the world flicker on, and a black display appears before the viewers. However, if one is to look close enough, he or she can see that the black display is actually a very dark room. Viewers can barely make out some distinct outlines of the walls and other objects.

Moments later, the dark room slowly begins to brighten. Once the room is fully bright, viewers can see two pillars in the far end. These pillars are the hologram-generating devices that they had seen yesterday; the other two pillars are located behind the camera at the two corners of the room. At the moment, these pillars are turned off as the show hasn't begun yet.

As the viewers wait patiently for the episode to start, music begins to play in the background. It is a certain type of circus music that many older generations have encountered in their childhoods.

Suddenly, with the climax of the music, a man walks in front of the camera wearing a suit and a comedy mask. This man is naturally Mister Θ.

"Welcome! Welcome to 'Can Anyone Beat Level 10?', folks! I'm your host: Mister Θ. It's a pleasure to have you all. Thank you, thank you."

Although the viewers can't tell what Mister Θ's expression is like under the comedy mask, they can't help but have the overall impression that he's smiling like a villain would with curled lips and a stark face. The masked host straightens his back and, with a flourish, bows deeply in front of the camera.

"I hope you had an enjoyable time last night. Today marks a new day and a new episode. Our contestants for this episode are Winona Littlerock and Nthanda Opeyemi! Give them a round of applause!"

Mister Θ woots while gently clapping his gloved hands, before raising them up as if to signal a moment of silence.

"Now then...the dungeon floor is the same as yesterday's. The baddies are the same as well. The few differences are that there will be some changes to the passwords in each chest, as well as a few added enemies. Are there any questions?"

The masked host glances around, as if waiting for his imaginary live-audience to speak. "I guess there's none. That's good. Let us begin then! You know what to do. Same format as last time. Here are four individual surveys to fill out. What starting item and starting pill should our contestants get? Vote! Transfer your luck to our two protagonists! Decide their fate!"

Like yesterday, four surveys appear one after the other. There are five starting items and four starting pills to choose from for each contestant. As usual, no one can tell what the items and pills are, but with the help of the 'one letter' hint, they can at least guess what the things could be.
