The world was no longer the same.
Ten years ago, mysterious portals appeared across the Earth. From those portals came terrifying monsters that destroyed cities and killed millions of people.
Humanity was almost wiped out.
But then something unbelievable happened.
Some humans awakened special powers that allowed them to fight the monsters. These people were called Hunters.
Hunters entered dangerous dungeons and defeated monsters to protect the world.
Among them were powerful S-Rank Hunters who were treated like heroes.
But not everyone was powerful.
Arjun stood silently inside the hunter training hall, staring at the large screen in front of him.
His result had just appeared.
Rank: F
The lowest rank possible.
People around him immediately started laughing.
"Look, it's the weakest hunter again."
"Why does he even try? He's completely useless."
"An F-Rank hunter can't even defeat a small goblin."
Arjun clenched his fists, but he didn't say anything.
He had trained harder than anyone else.
Every day he pushed himself to the limit, hoping that one day he would become stronger.
But no matter how much he trained, his power never improved.
To everyone else, he was nothing more than a weak and useless hunter.
Suddenly, an instructor walked into the hall.
"Attention everyone!" the instructor shouted.
"A new dungeon has appeared near the city. We need a team of hunters to clear it."
Excited whispers spread through the room.
Dungeons meant money, rewards, and fame.
Several hunters immediately volunteered.
Arjun slowly raised his hand.
Some people began laughing again.
"You? Enter a dungeon?"
"You'll probably die in five minutes."
But Arjun ignored them.
This was his chance.
If he could prove himself inside the dungeon, maybe people would finally stop calling him useless.
The instructor looked at him for a moment and sighed.
"Fine. You can join the team."
Arjun nodded quietly.
He didn't know it yet, but this dungeon would completely change his fate.
Because inside that dungeon…
He would face death itself.
And when death finally came for him, something impossible would happen.
Something that would change his destiny forever.
To be continued....
