**Chapter 4
Seven Ring: First Rage**
The story resumes from where Chapter 3 ended.
A glowing system window suddenly opens in front of the MC.
Navi freezes in shock and starts reading carefully.
[WINDOW]
"Master… I am your guide.
I have been sent to help you survive in this world."
The MC asks nervously,
"Where… am I?"
The window replies—
"Master, you are on Earth.
This world has already been destroyed.
Except for you, no human is alive."
His heart starts pounding faster.
"Can I… go back home?"
The window answers—
"When you unite all Seven Rings… only then."
Anger rises inside him.
"Why was I brought here?!"
The window goes silent.
Only a blinking [?] remains.
His frustration explodes.
"Tell me something about this Ring at least!"
The window responds—
"When the time comes, you will know everything.
This Ring is your last hope.
Because of it, you can survive here."
He asks again,
"What do I need to do?"
The window replies—
"You must defeat the Boss of this world.
Only then can you leave this Earth."
His eyes widen.
"How strong is that Boss?"
Once again, the window shows only [?].
His anger grows even more.
Then the window speaks—
"Master, establish permanent contact with me.
Whenever you call, I will respond."
"How do I do that?" he asks.
"Place your blood on my surface."
He does exactly that.
The window starts glowing intensely.
Suddenly, a red rose tattoo appears on his hand—
The symbol of system connection.
"Now we are connected."
He asks,
"Where are you really from?"
"I don't know myself.
I only know that I was sent to help you."
He takes a deep breath.
"Fine… from now on, your name is Aasees."
The window glows softly.
"Thank you, Master."
Then he asks,
"Is there any food? I'm hungry."
Aasees replies—
"I don't have food… but I can scan."
After a moment—
"Master, there is a monster nearby.
You can eat it to satisfy your hunger."
"Monster? Isn't there anything normal to eat?"
"No. Nothing remains in this world.
To survive, you must hunt monsters."
Fear creeps in.
"What kind of monster?"
"A Bear Monster.
Weak. F-Rank."
He asks,
"And the Golden Snake… it was E-Rank?"
"Yes, Master."
Slowly, he begins to understand the ranking system—
From F to Z.
F is the weakest.
Z is the strongest.
Then he asks the question that matters most.
"What about my rank?"
The window displays—
[MC Rank: –F]
His face falls.
"Minus… F?!"
A cold wind blows across the ruined sky.
The atmosphere grows heavy.
Aasees speaks softly—
"Master… every hero starts from zero."
Navi clenches his fist.
A new determination burns in his eyes.
