"Argh!"That man wakes up and slowly regains his vision. His body was sore, and his head was bursting with pain."That Bastard!... He sure did a number on my head. "When he tries to feel the rest of his body, he discovers himself tied with a rope. He grits his teeth and forces his way through the resistance.He surveys the room, which somehow feels familiar to him. He could notice some minor changes here and there.A voice suddenly came from behind, alerting him of their presence."So you're impatient as always. You broke the rope as soon as you woke up."The man turned around and grinned, noticing Tejasv behind him. Suddenly, Tejasv and that man start laughing at each other.Catherine was observing them from the hall. She was confused at their wild behavior as they laughed hysterically.That man approaches Tejasv while laughing, and Tejasv raises his hands to greet him. Instead of greeting, the man gives a hard punch to his abdomen. Tejasv coughs and drops to his knees, holding his
The soft and tender light of the dawn breaks around 5 in the morning. The sun peeps out, half-hidden behind the clump of clouds.The dew on the grass gives the impression of liquid pearls, scattered with the green hands of bounteous nature.Walking sounds reverberate in the peaceful atmosphere of City Arin. A group of three people wearing armor, each with fierce eyes, departs for their destination.Not even a bit of hesitation or fear could be heard in their steps or seen in their firm resolve. They were out for a battle, which may affect this group's future.The young man in the middle resembled the leader, grabbing two axes in each hand. A beautiful woman was walking to his right, wearing a Katana on the left side of her waist.A muscular man with an aggressive nature joins him on his left, with knuckles in each hand.Today they were on a mission to raid a dungeon. Although many had encountered monsters before, this was the first time the world may manifest a dungeon.They have no i
Immediately after the dungeon appeared, the crazed mob clashed within.They were killing each other as if some demon plagued their minds. For hunting, those in groups surround single individuals, like hyena packs.Ordinary people, who previously worked in everyday jobs, faced misfortune. Anyone with even a shred of sympathy left in their heart couldn't survive this hardship.The thugs were in ecstasy, soaking the ground in crimson blood. Humanity appeared to have vanished from the earth in this scene.The only ones to dominate were self-centered or opportunists, either with their strength or by riding another boat."Today, no one can stop me. There's no cop or any righteous idealist. I'm the king here!" sneered the fatty thug as he split apart the powerless. "My brothers enjoy the feast, ha-ha-ha. "His underlings had a sinister grin as they robbed others of their lives.Fatty snickers as they slaughter. His schadenfreude was at its peak while watching their adversity. The blood splat
Fatty was elated in his mind, thinking,|This man doesn't know me! He is only demanding answers to my actions here. He had no idea about my past.|Fatty hardly suppressed his broad smile. He never saw someone as ignorant and foolish as Tejasv.He mourned and wept, "Sir! Monsters killed my parents. I had to fight for my survival. This bloodshed turned me into a monster. I'm a common man and the only breadwinner for my family. Please! I will accept any punishment, but I have to go back for my younger siblings."He scrounged up Tejasv with his deception. Anyone present felt disgusted watching this fatty licking his ass.Due to his depraved nature, everyone had twisted expressions on their faces when watching him. Tejasv snorted, "OK!" and gave a short, mirthless laugh."Since you had a hard time, I'll spare you. But don't indulge in blood lust in the future. "Confused, his statement shattered their hopes. |Would this fatty be spared? How can someone be so naive and gullible?|The situat
Through his facade, Tejasv caused others to misunderstand him. He wanted to see how far this fatty will go to save himself.This man was famous; even Tejasv knew him through newspapers. Despite being saved by his peers from time to time, his list of activities is no less than that of any criminal on the run.|As a result of your crimes, you will suffer, especially for the girls you abused. You were free, so you enjoyed your time without consequence. I will be their retribution.|It never occurred to him to spare them; he was playing with them. It's like watching a cat play with a mouse.Fatty's eyes rolled in the direction of Catherine and Daemon. Their sinister grin gave them a reality check, death was confirmed.Tejasv grins and lends his hand to the little girl on the ground. She hesitates but accepts another moment.Tejasv walks with the girl towards the dungeon to inspect it. He gave one last order, "I want to hear screams, very loud."Catherine and Daemon had their orders. Now i
Tejasv raised his head and peered above the dungeon doorway, followed by his comrades.====>[Dungeon]Level-1{Only four teams, each with a maximum of five members, may participate.}====Tejasv rubbed his chin with a smile and said, "Hmm...only four teams. Fascinating." He was fully aware of what this system expected from the attendees before the portal was opened.Without a doubt, this condition ignited a spark between the contestants, compelling them to murder one another and move on.Tejasv cackled, "Clever move!"He tallied the number of teams in the stadium, obviously ignoring the eliminated ones that were now reduced to corpses, and his eyes twirled as he did so."Roughly ten, not bad! Many people survived the fierce brawl." He grinned and taunted, "I don't know how many of you will make it out alive today."Daemon noticed the screen, glared at the other teams, and mocked, "I don't think anyone will have a problem with us being the first team to enter." He cracked his fists wi
"What the hell is this?" Those were the only words he managed to blurt out before his mouth dropped open, and his eyes bulged out. His breath stuck in his throat as he watched the error screen repeatedly. |What's this damn system up to now? Is this how it's supposed to work and help us?| In a hurry, Tejasv tried clicking on other functions of the system. ==== >[dungeon] ... ...[ERROR] --- >[coins] ... ...[ERROR] --- >[Skills] ... ...[ERROR] --- ../initializing dungeon quest --- ...[ERROR] ...[ERROR] --- SCANNING THE SYSTEM FOR PROBLEMS--- .. instability .. [ERROR] --- SYSTEM CRASHED |:(-_-):| ==== Stumped and dismayed, he sweated buckets, his brow became wet, and his entire body became cold as if his blood had sucked to leave his body dried out. The system crashed during a critical step of a life-or-death scenario. Blanked like a white sheet of paper; nothing came to his mind. |What now? What should I tell my team? That system betrayed us! Or all of this
Participants experienced stress and anxiety when the dungeon quest notification was out. The clamor wasn't about receiving the quest, but about its ambiguous contents. They had to kill the boss monster, but what was this boss monster? Who will give the rest of the details? In distress, both eyes flinched in confusion. They tried clicking the system screen again and again but to no avail. Click! Click! ==== ...[ERROR] : OUT OF SERVICE ==== All they received was either an error or a service failure. Angry over the error, they despised these words like never before. |Is this shitting us? Give us at least some more details about the quest. Where is this monster in this forest? How strong is the boss? Can we even fight a monster while protecting ourselves from other fucking teams?| Many questions need answers, but the only one who can give them answers shuts its door on them, saying "OUT OF SERVICE." Without precise information, what can they do in this situation? Members glance
