Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: The Strange Customer

Adam was still staring at the repaired phone in disbelief.

The customer in front of him kept turning the device in his hands, checking the screen again and again.

"It's… perfect," the man said.

He looked at Adam with suspicion.

"This phone was completely destroyed. Even the official repair center told me it couldn't be fixed."

Adam forced a small smile.

"Well… sometimes miracles happen."

Inside his mind, however, Adam was anything but calm.

The "Phone Repair System" was real.

And it had just done the impossible.

The customer finally nodded and paid for the repair before leaving the shop.

The door closed.

Silence returned.

Adam leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath.

"What exactly is this system?" he whispered.

As if responding to his question, the blue interface appeared again in front of his eyes.

"Host Status"

Name: Adam

Occupation: Phone Technician

Level: 1

System Points: 10

"Unlocked Ability: Basic Device Analysis"

Adam blinked.

"So it even has levels…"

Before he could study the interface further, the shop door opened again.

This time, three men walked in.

They were dressed in dark suits, completely different from the usual customers.

Adam immediately felt something strange about them.

One of the men stepped forward and placed a phone on the desk.

"We heard you repaired a device here a few minutes ago," he said calmly.

Adam felt a chill.

"How can I help you?"

The man pushed the phone toward him.

"We need this repaired."

Adam looked down at the device.

The moment his fingers touched it, the system activated automatically.

"Scanning Device…"

But instead of the normal message, a red warning appeared.

"WARNING"

"Classified Device Detected"

Adam's heart skipped a beat.

The system continued.

"Security Level: Restricted"

"Origin: Unknown Organization"

Adam slowly raised his head and looked at the three men.

They were watching him very carefully.

One of them spoke again.

"Can you fix it?"

Adam hesitated.

Something about this situation felt dangerous.

But the system message appeared again.

"Repair possible."

"Hidden data detected inside the device."

Hidden data?

Adam's curiosity suddenly grew stronger.

He slowly nodded.

"I'll… take a look."

The man smiled slightly.

"Good."

But as Adam picked up the phone, the system displayed one final message.

"New Mission Detected"

"Mission: Repair the classified device."

"Warning: High Risk."

Adam felt a cold sensation run down his spine.

Whatever was inside this phone…

It was far more dangerous than a simple repair job.
