Number One Dungeon Supplier

In a world where Hunters risk their lives clearing dimensional Rifts for profit and survival, Arthur Pendelton is universally mocked as the bottom of the barrel—the "Weakest Hunter." When a routine D-Rank exploration goes horribly wrong, Arthur and a small vanguard find themselves trapped within the Cartenon Temple, a hidden Double Dungeon overseen by a colossal, murderous stone titan. Bound by ancient, unyielding rules inscribed on a runic tablet, the party is systematically torn to pieces as traditional combat proves utterly useless. With elite combatants losing their limbs and their minds to the horrific trials, salvation falls on the unlikely shoulders of Arthur.

But as the trials demand bloodier sacrifices, Arthur realizes that surviving the temple is only the first step in a system designed to completely rebuild him from the ground up.

Humanity's world is advancing at a breakneck pace. All citizens are housed in a city named Gaia Union, which serves as a residential center. A machine malfunction occurred at the time, resulting in the emergence of various portals. The monsters sprang forth from the portal. They are going to annihilate humans. Humans have been looking for ways to survive ever since. The study's findings yielded a substance known as acid rank, which can cause humans to improve their abilities. Humans can advance to the next level by combining a level indicator bracelet. Humans have taken turns hunting monsters since then. The hunters banded together to form a guild. The dungeon is under the control of the government in order to maintain order. Transactions took place gradually, until the majority of the dungeons were controlled by private parties. The hunters were required to pay a fee to the dungeon owner as well as fees. Hunters' activities gradually came under the control of large corporations. The hunters were completely controlled by capital owners, who gradually gained control of nearly half of the government system. Decades have gone by. The world has been rearranged.

Or did he become the king of hunters?

The System's Last Architect In a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by the System's sudden arrival, Dante Reyes has nothing left. A disgraced engineer whose career collapsed in betrayal, he now works as a night-shift guard in a decaying urban wasteland, surviving on spite and routine. But the System doesn't forget anyone. When Dante survives a dungeon encounter that should have killed him, he discovers his hidden Class: the Architect Protocol—a Golden Finger ability that lets him see the world as a structural blueprint. He can identify weaknesses, build permanent Sanctuaries, and craft custom abilities that no other User can access. In a survival game where every mistake is fatal, Dante's power makes him the most dangerous player in the game. But the System has rules—and Dante is a bug that must be corrected. The Foreman, a Dungeon Master AI, marks him for elimination. An enemy User hunts him through the city's ruins. And the only ally who offers help, a mysterious woman with her own agenda, might be more dangerous than the monsters. Then Dante discovers the truth: his younger sister Valerie, presumed dead in the System's arrival, is still alive—trapped in a Pocket Zone that only an Architect can access. Now Dante must level up, build an empire, and gather allies he can't trust. In a world of hate-to-love dynamics, revenge against the System, and kingdom building in the ruins, one man must become the Architect of humanity's survival. The System has rules. He rewrites them.

It seems like I am going to answer those questions since I became the third-rate villain in an RPG game. ------------------------------0----------------------------------- Chapter length 1000-2000 words.
