"Did you hit your head or something?"Chloe stood a few paces back near the doorway, eyeing her older brother with deep suspicion. Arthur shook his head vigorously."No, that’s not it. I'm fine."Despite his denial, Chloe’s sharp eyes remained narrowed."Are you really okay, Arthur? Be honest.""Yes, I'm telling you, I'm completely fine."Chloe stared blankly at him for a beat, sweeping her gaze over his pristine, unblemished limbs.Then her chest heaved, her breathing growing fast and furious. The moment Arthur instinctively raised his arms into a defensive guard, she stepped in, driving her fists into every unguarded spot on his torso."I told you to stop getting yourself hurt!!" she yelled, her voice cracking. "Do you have any idea how terrified I was?!""……I'm sorry, Chloe.""Other Hunters walk out of those portals without a scratch, so why is it always you who ends up in an ICU?!""……I'm sorry."The force behind Chloe’s punches gradually ebbed away. She stopped, her shoulders tre

It happened without warning.Shururururu…The sandy ground right beside Arthur suddenly caved inward, forming a rapidly expanding, funnel-shaped sinkhole."Whoa—hey!"Arthur scrambled back on all fours, clawing wildly at the loose grains to keep from getting dragged down into the abyss. The pit widened at a terrifying speed, forcing him to throw his entire body forward into a desperate crawl until his knees hit firm ground."Haaah... haaah... haaah..."Collapsing onto his rear, Arthur dragged ragged breaths into his lungs and stared down into the center of the crater.To his sheer horror, the sand at the bottom was violently bubbling, like a cauldron of boiling liquid.A cold shiver raced down his spine as he realized he had been an inch away from tumbling into that meat grinder."Wait a second..."Arthur narrowed his eyes, leaning in slightly to inspect the motion."That's not boiling..."Peering through the haze of golden dust, he spotted something massive and segmented writhing ben

The moment the command left Arthur’s lips, a warm, soothing azure aura enveloped his entire body.Wait… isn’t this… that same feeling?The vivid image of Julie’s face flashed across his mind. Back in the dungeons, whenever she cast her high-tier healing magic over his broken limbs, he had experienced this exact same sensation.If he had to put it into words, it was like a surge of pure, mountain-fresh air rushing into his lungs, purging every trace of exhaustion before lingering pleasantly in his chest.Shu…The azure light gradually faded away. For some reason, Arthur felt a twinge of regret at its departure.He pushed himself off the floor, lightly jumping in place before twisting his torso to stretch out his joints.“This is insane!”His heart, which had felt on the verge of exploding moments ago, was now beating with calm, steady precision. His ragged, shallow gasps had completely stabilized. He didn’t feel even a microscopic trace of muscle fatigue. His body, which had been on th

> [Stats]Strength: 10Stamina: 10Agility: 10Intelligence: 10Perception: 10(Unallocated Stat Points: 3)“So I can boost any of these baseline attributes by three points…”Five distinct categories. Because he was a fresh Level 1, the numbers were simple. But considering how this magic was physically altering his real body, he couldn’t afford to treat the allocation lightly.If a single tap could permanently alter his muscle density or reaction speed, it was a choice that demanded extreme caution.Arthur’s expression turned solemn.Strength obviously governs my raw physical power…He could easily grasp the practical functions of Strength, Stamina, and Agility—the classic physical trio found in every RPG. The real mystery lay in Intelligence and Perception. And, true to form, the cryptic System offered no manual.If he dumped points into Intelligence, would he instantly become a genius? If he boosted Perception, would his senses sharpen?Whatever their utility, they felt secondary ri

“Still, I can’t be completely sure…”To be absolutely certain, Arthur anonymously opened a new thread on the private online forum reserved exclusively for licensed Hunters.> Title: Something strange just happened to me.Description: I can suddenly see my physical attributes displayed in numbers like a video game interface, and I can manually increase their values. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?Below the post, the comment section exploded almost instantly.> Anon: LOL, stop trolling, man.Anon: Did this guy lose his mind?Anon: Completely unhinged.Anon: Bro has been playing way too many RPGs…Anon: Are you an author writing a web novel?Anon: Please visit the nearest psychiatric clinic ASAP.Anon: I’d actually like to hear the details first.Anon: Why does the Association hand out licenses to crazy people? This forum needs a serious cleaning…Dozens of similar comments flooded the thread, mocking him relentlessly.Arthur let out a heavy, tired sigh. He had spent hou

Inside a dimly lit neighborhood pub, Nurse Vance sat at a corner booth, catching up with an old acquaintance over drinks as the night wore on.“Ah, I almost forgot,” Vance said, setting down her glass. She suddenly remembered that her friend was an administrative clerk at the Hunter Association headquarters—the very person who had helped her secure a job at the Association’s trauma hospital.“You know a lot about high-tier Awakened, right?”“Well, more than the average person,” her friend replied, leaning in. “What’s on your mind?”“Are there Hunters who possess the ability to passively heal their own physical injuries at an incredible rate?”“You mean Healer classes? Yeah, obviously. One high-tier recovery spell and a broken bone snaps right back into place!”“No, I don’t mean active spells,” Vance clarified, shaking her head. “I mean… unconsciously. Naturally.”“Unconsciously?”“For example, when the patient is completely blacked out… or in the middle of deep sleep.”Her friend laug

It wasn’t smart to draw attention to himself.Being thrust into the spotlight was uncomfortable enough, but more importantly, Arthur had zero desire to let the world know about the impossible phenomenon occurring inside his body.As the old saying went, stirring up trouble only brought more headaches.He wanted to accumulate his stat points as quietly as possible.Besides, there shouldn’t be any issues with me checking out today.Fortunately, his final diagnostic tests showed a completely clean bill of health. He was free to leave whenever he wished. In fact, Arthur got the distinct impression that both the hospital board and the Hunter Association were eager to see him go.It was a waste of municipal funds to keep paying for a private luxury suite for a bottom-tier E-Rank.Free, state-funded medical care was a perk reserved exclusively for S-Rank titans—a reality that belonged to an entirely different universe as far as Arthur was concerned.So, checking out of the hospital right now
Iron fangs
SLAM! SLAM!“Is there… an invisible wall?!”Arthur pounded his fists against the solid, unseen barrier blocking the subway stairs, shouting at the pedestrians passing by on the street above. But no one turned around. People simply went about their afternoon routines, completely oblivious to his presence.A commuter walked down the steps toward Entrance 3, passing right through the space where the barrier sat—and vanished into thin air the second he crossed the threshold.The space Arthur occupied and the real world outside had been completely severed into two separate dimensions.Arthur threw his shoulder into the barrier, attempting to force his way back up to the street, prompting a bright red warning banner to flash across his vision.Tti-ring!> [You cannot exit the Instant Dungeon.][Please defeat the Dungeon Boss or locate a Return Crystal to clear the zone.]It was the exact same system restriction.The golden key had vanished from his grip the second he stepped onto the stairs
Level up
The sole surviving Lycan—the one that had leapt over Arthur’s head moments ago—lowered its tail upon witnessing the carnage and began taking faltering steps backward.“Huh…?”Was this the direct result of dumping all his points into Strength?Arthur stood frozen, unable to close his slack jaw as the headless Lycan’s corpse finally stopped twitching on the concrete floor.Tti-ring!> [You have defeated an Iron-Fanged Lycan.][Level Up!]“My level… went up?”To ensure he hadn’t misheard the system chime, Arthur hurriedly summoned his Stat Window.> Name: Arthur PendeltonLevel: 2Class: NoneTitle: NoneHP: 205MP: 22Fatigue: 0> [Stats]Strength: 32Stamina: 11Agility: 11Intelligence: 11Perception: 11(Unallocated Stat Points: 0)> [Skills]Passive Skills:(Unknown) Lv.

However, the moment he turned around, his disappointment evaporated.“GRRRR…!”“GROWL!”“GRRRR…!”The Lycan that had fled earlier hadn’t abandoned the fight; it had gone back into the dark tunnels to bring its entire pack!A wide, genuine grin broke across Arthur’s face. Glowing crimson eyes lined the dark concourse—there were at least twenty of them surrounding the abandoned storefronts.“Jackpot!”He gripped the claymore tightly, his eyes narrowing as he locked onto the pack.“I’m keeping your fangs, but the rest of you are turning into experience points.”Faced with the terrifying, predatory glare of a man obsessed with leveling up, the pack of giant wolves visibly hesitated, taking a collective step back in fear.Arthur didn’t give them a chance to regroup. He lunged forward without mercy.> [Level Up!][Level Up!][Level Up!]Just as he had anticipated, his level climbed rapidly.By systematically sweeping the entire first level of the subterranean station and clearing every Lyca
