The sky collapsed a hundred years ago.The apocalypse came without warning, completely overturning the world's order.Dimensional portals opened wide across every corner of the earth.Waves of monsters surged out from the darkness, devouring half of humanity's population in a matter of days.Military forces tried to retaliate with heavy artillery.Missile barrages, cannon fire, and even thermobaric bombs rained down endlessly.Yet the monsters' hard shells only sparked softly, leaving not a single meaningful scratch.Humanity suffered crushing defeats on every front.Major cities crumbled into dusty ruins overnight.Civilization hit rock bottom, teetering on the brink of total extinction.Until a miracle fell from the sky.The rules of the world suddenly changed, resembling a virtual game arena.Humans gained direct access to a special system.Killing monsters granted experience points to drastically increase power levels.Job options unlocked, awakening magical abilities and granting

Dungeon D-6012-7 was thick with stale, dusty air. The rocky cavern was damp, but there wasn't a trace of danger in the atmosphere. Our footsteps echoed lightly against the stone.Walking alongside me, Elena cast a bored glance across the faintly glowing walls. She turned toward me, a faint smile touching her lips."It’s true what they say—a D-rank dungeon feels completely different from an E-rank," she murmured casually. "Still, at the level we’re at now, this is hardly a challenge."She flicked her gaze toward the far end of the darkened chamber. "Why don’t you take the boss, Kael?"I rolled my shoulders. "Sure thing. On it."Underneath a ceiling bristling with jagged stalactites, the dungeon boss waited. This was no low-level mob, but a two-meter-tall stone golem carved from solid granite, laced with glowing blue veins of magical energy.

Dungeon D-6012-10, the deepest reaches of the boss room. The air was suffocatingly hot. Before us, a massive, fifteen-meter-long white snake hissed in fury.Its predatory gaze locked onto us. Its jaws unhinged, exhaling a thick plume of white smoke that billowed rapidly in our direction.This wasn't just ordinary poisonous gas; it was a highly acidic, incredibly lethal vapor. Droplets touched the floor, and the solid rock hissed violently, instantly melting into sludge.If Elena's bright blue magical barrier hadn't enveloped us just in time, we would have already melted into the floor.Staring at that deadly display, my grip on my spear tightened. Beads of cold sweat rolled down my temples. "Babe, if the smoke is this dangerous, how am I supposed to get close enough to attack?" I asked quietly, not daring to take my eyes off the giant serpent.Standing firmly beside me, Elena just let out a soft laugh. The silver-haired girl didn't look panicked in the slightest. "Don't worry, Kael. T

My name is Ririsa. I’m twenty-five years old, and I’m the founder and CEO of Nexus Materials.To outsiders, I’m a brilliant, charismatic young entrepreneur deserving of endless praise. But behind all the sweet flattery lies a reality that most people know nothing about.Standing at the top of the ladder didn't happen because I’m some kind of super-genius. I was born into ridiculous wealth. From the moment I entered this world, I never had to worry about a single cent.The finest education money could buy, abundant capital, direct connections to influential figures—I had all of it right from the start.It was purely through those privileges that I managed to build my company, Nexus Materials.People praise my business success, oblivious to the fact that my birthright paved the way. Without that head start, my chances of making it would have been under ten percent.I’m not trying to put myself down—it’s just the raw truth. Without extreme privilege, nobody reaches the pinnacle of succes
