Cold air hit Suho’s face as he stepped out of the dungeon gate.
For a brief moment… everything felt unreal.
The city lights.
The sound of traffic.
People walking normally.
After surviving that nightmare inside the double dungeon, the outside world felt strangely peaceful.
But the surviving hunters around him looked completely broken.
Some collapsed on the ground immediately.
Others stared silently into space.
The Hunter Association emergency teams rushed toward them.
“Medical unit! Over here!”
“How many survivors?!”
“What happened inside the gate?!”
Questions exploded everywhere.
But nobody could answer properly.
Because what happened inside that dungeon… shouldn’t have existed.
Jinho leaned against a wall breathing heavily.
“We actually survived…”
Suho stayed silent.
His eyes remained fixed on the floating blue screens only he could see.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━[Double Dungeon Quest Completed]━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Rewards Delivered━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Then— another notification appeared.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━[First Daily Quest Generated]━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Objective:
100 Push-Ups 100 Sit-Ups 100 Squats 10 KM Running
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Time Limit: 6 HoursFailure Penalty: Unknown━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Suho blinked.
“…What?”
He stared at the message in disbelief.
“Is this a joke?”
A nurse approached him carefully.
“Hunter-nim, are you injured?”
Suho snapped out of it.
“…I’m fine.”
Physically, he should have been exhausted.
Almost dead.
But strangely— his body felt lighter than before.
Stronger.
The nurse frowned.
“Your mana flow feels unstable.”
Suho’s expression stiffened slightly.
Mana flow?
Could they sense the system somehow?
Before he could ask— several high-ranking association officials suddenly arrived.
The atmosphere changed instantly.
Hunters nearby stepped aside nervously.
One man in a black suit looked directly at the survivors.
“What happened inside the gate?”
Nobody answered.
Then another survivor spoke shakily.
“…The statues…”
“There was another dungeon inside…”
The officials’ expressions darkened immediately.
Whispers spread instantly.
Even association staff looked disturbed.
Double dungeons were extremely rare.
And deadly.
One official stepped toward Suho.
“You were among the survivors?”
Suho nodded slowly.
The man looked at him carefully.
“…Interesting.”
Suho frowned slightly.
“What?”
The official crossed his arms.
“Your mana level increased.”
Jinho looked shocked.
“Wait seriously?!”
The official nodded.
“Not by much…”
“…but E-rank hunters don’t suddenly change after raids.”
Suho’s heartbeat quickened.
The system… was already affecting reality.
Suddenly—
BEEP.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Daily Quest Time Remaining:05:12:44━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Suho’s eyes widened.
“Still there…”
The system wasn’t disappearing.
This wasn’t hallucination anymore.
It was real.
Very real.
After the investigation ended, Suho finally left the association building alone.
Night had already fallen over Seoul.
Cold wind moved silently through the empty streets.
His mind remained overwhelmed.
Shadow soldiers.
Status windows.
Levels.
Quests.
Nothing made sense anymore.
Then suddenly—
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━[Warning]Daily Quest incomplete━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Pain shot through Suho’s head instantly.
“Ghh—!”
He grabbed the wall nearby.
Another message appeared.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Failure Penalty Will Activate━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Suho’s face paled slightly.
“…Penalty?”
Something about those words felt dangerous.
Very dangerous.
He immediately looked around.
An empty public park stood nearby.
“…You’ve got to be kidding me.”
But after surviving the double dungeon… ignoring the system didn’t seem smart.
Suho sighed deeply.
Then dropped to the ground.
“One hundred push-ups…” Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
People walking nearby stared strangely at him.
An exhausted hunter doing push-ups alone at midnight looked insane.
But Suho ignored them.
10…
20…
35…
Sweat slowly covered his body.
His muscles screamed in pain.
Yet strangely— he could feel his stamina improving.
The system kept counting automatically.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Push-Ups Completed: 47/100━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Hours passed.
By the time he finished the running portion, dawn had already started appearing.
Suho collapsed onto the grass breathing heavily.
“…I’m dead…”
Then—
DING.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Daily Quest Completed━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Rewards Received:
+3 Strength
+3 Agility
Recovery Granted
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Warm energy suddenly spread throughout his body.
The exhaustion disappeared instantly.
Suho’s eyes widened.
“…What?”
His body felt refreshed.
No pain.
No fatigue.
Even his injuries from the dungeon had partially healed.
He slowly stood up.
Then punched the air lightly.
WHOOSH.
His movement speed shocked him.
“…I got stronger.”
Not slightly.
Noticeably.
Real power.
The system wasn’t fake.
It was evolving him.
Suho looked at the sunrise above Seoul quietly.
For the first time in his life… he felt something dangerous growing inside him.
Hope.
Then another message appeared.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━[Emergency Quest Incoming]━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Suho’s smile slowly disappeared.
“…Already?”
The screen glowed dark purple this time.
And the words appearing next… made his blood run cold.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Survive to Continue Evolution━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
TO BE CONTINUED….!!
