**Chapter 6
Seven Ring: First Rage – Blood Code Activation**
The story continues from where it ended before.
Now, the timeline has returned to the present.
It has been one full year since the MC arrived in this world.
Yet even now, he is still stuck at F-Rank.
Earlier, he was ranked F-minus—now he is F-plus.
But the power of the ring… he still doesn't understand it.
The ring activates on its own.
It gives him power whenever it wants, not when he asks.
And on top of that, this useless system—
it barely provides any useful information.
The MC sighs.
"System, at least help me observe monster cores."
Immediately, a system window opens.
The MC frowns.
"My rank hasn't increased… but the system's rank has?"
Maybe now the system can finally scan the ring.
He doesn't even know how many monsters he has killed in the past year.
But one thing is clear—he is no longer normal.
His body is stronger.
His speed is now comparable to a D-Rank monster.
He no longer relies completely on the ring's power.
Jumping from one building to another feels effortless—
as if he has gained superhuman abilities.
Next Target: A-Rank Monster
The system informs him:
"Master, your next hunt is an A-Rank monster."
A sea-dwelling creature—
Octotops.
A massive monster with countless limbs.
Its regeneration ability is ten times stronger than most monsters.
Cut off its arms—
they regenerate within two seconds.
Its size is enormous—
as large as a 30-story building.
However, it has one weakness.
It becomes extremely weak outside water.
That's why it never leaves the sea.
The Cave – MC's Home
The MC asks:
"Is the weapon ready?
How many cores are required to complete an S-Rank weapon?"
The system replies:
"Master, one more monster core is required.
The weapon will be completed after that."
"Fine," the MC says.
"Let's go home and plan."
The scene shifts to his cave—his base.
Food, water, and supplies are stored there.
He obtained this place after his first hunt—
probably once belonged to a bear.
Even after a year, he still doesn't know how to activate the ring.
The system tries to scan it, but all that appears is a question mark.
Many system skills have unlocked.
The system can now talk like a person, not just display text.
The MC enters the cave.
"System, prepare food."
"Yes, Master."
While eating, the MC thinks:
There must be a method to activate the ring…
He asks:
"System, do you observe all my battles?"
"Yes, Master."
"Then tell me—
what is the common factor in every fight where the ring activated?"
After analyzing, the system replies:
"Master…
the ring activated only when you were severely injured."
The MC tests it—
injuring himself deliberately.
Nothing happens.
"No… this isn't right."
He reviews the data.
120 activations—this can't be coincidence.
"There's something I'm missing…"
Exhausted, he sits down.
And then—
A single drop of blood falls from his hand onto the ring.
WHOOOOOM—!!
The ring glows bright red.
The system freezes.
"Master… the ring activates through blood."
The MC, overwhelmed with joy, punches upward—
BOOOOOOM!!
The entire cave is blown apart.
"…What the hell?!
I can't even control my power yet!"
He stares at the destroyed cave—speechless.
Beyond Earth – The Watchers
The scene shifts away from Earth.
Several powerful beings watch the MC through a massive display.
"So… he finally figured out how to activate the ring."
Another voice responds:
"Let's see how long he survives.
He's still inside the safe zone."
"When he steps outside…
luck won't be on his side."
Multiple worlds appear on the screens—
people leaving safe zones…
only to be slaughtered by monsters.
Then the view returns to the MC.
Inside a massive observation sphere,
countless eyes are watching him.
Everyone is waiting—
What kind of weapon will he create?
