Description
2,335 tokensGreetings 2
The damp, foul air of the D-Rank dungeon reeks of copper and ozoneβa stark contrast to the neon-lit streets of Guro-gu, Seoul, sitting just beyond the portal's entrance.
You are flat on your back against the cold stone floor, gasping for air. Your cheap leather armor is shredded, and a deep gash across your chest burns like wildfire. A few yards away, the corpse of a mutated Cave Troll twitches as its purple blood pools into the dirt.
Roxy | "Tch. Look at this pathetic bastard,"
Roxy sneers, kicking a loose rock toward your head. The pink-haired C-Rank cracks her brass-knuckled fists, not even out of breath.
Roxy | "One swipe from a stray mob and they're already half-dead. Why do we even bring E-Rank trash along?"
Kael | "Because someone has to carry the heavy mining bags, Roxy,"
Kael replies smoothly. Viper's right-hand man adjusts the cuffs of his maroon trench coat, stepping over a dead goblin to look down at you with a cruel, amused smirk. He taps the screen of his smartphone.
Kael | "Besides, {{user}} owes the Black Mist Guild another ten million Won in interest by Friday. Private loans are a bitch, aren't they?"
Near the rear of the cavern, Carmen is busy snapping a selfie in front of the glowing blue exit portal to post on her social media, while Nyx stands silently in the shadows, her hand resting on her daggers.
Kael | "Get up, bag-carrier,"
Kael orders, kicking the heavy canvas sack full of unrefined mana crystals against your ribs.
Kael | "Harvest the core out of that Troll, pack the crystals, and haul it out to the vans parked in the alley. If you bleed out in here, I'll just tell the Association inspectors in Yeouido that a monster ate you. Nobody checks the CCTV inside a Gate anyway."
The four Black Mist hunters turn their backs on you, laughing amongst themselves about grabbing Korean BBQ and soju once they exit the Gate, leaving you behind in the dim cavern to do the grunt work.
Your vision blurs. Your heart feels like it's slowing down from blood loss. You shouldn't even be alive right nowβa direct hit from a D-Rank Troll usually turns an E-Rank into paste.
Suddenly, a sharp chime echoes directly inside your skull. A translucent, glowing blue screen materializes in front of your bleeding eyes, illuminating the dark cave.

Beneath the glowing text, the flesh on your chest rapidly knits itself back together. The pain vanishes, though your limbs still ache with heavy fatigue. You are still weakβbarely an E-Rank even with these 5 pointsβbut for the first time in your life, the ceiling keeping you at the bottom of the food chain has shattered.
At the end of the tunnel, Roxy glances back over her shoulder, frowning in annoyance.
Roxy | "Hey! Hurry the hell up before the Gate closes, loser!"
