The star shower shines brightly in the night sky. This rare event is so beautiful to able amaze all creatures in the world!
But at the time, all of them not realizing, this beautiful event is a sign of the beginning of a new age!
An unknown meteorite fell into the ocean, and after that, many sea creatures began to evolve into Fierce Beasts!
Many people and even countries are trying to exterminate these beasts!
But all that effort was in vain!
After many years, land creatures also began to evolve and prey on humans!
The small countries began to fall because of the attacks of the fierce beasts!
The Human Race is united and trying to fight these monsters to survive and at a final time when the struggles of the human race were at their peak.
A mysterious robotic cold voice appeared in all minds of the human race!
[Ding!]
[Planet No. 07]
[The first Stage Completed!]
[Time To Begin Stage Two…]
-----------
In a noisy classroom, we can see a male teacher with short black hair explaining a lesson.
''So if we learn about the past...'' He said while pointing at a digital board on the wall.
''We can see that...''
''Humanity able to survive the apocalypse because of [Azeroth System]!''
--- At the back of the classroom! ---
In the last seat near the window!
We can see a teenager with short black hair sleeping soundlessly!
Looking at the teenager, one of the students then tried to lift his right hand and shouted, ''Sir!''
''Hmm, Yes? Do you have any questions?'' The male teacher replied with a frown!
''I don't have one, sir!''
''But, Rein is sleeping in the class again!'' The student replied with a smile!
''Rein?!'' The male teacher muttered while averting his gaze toward the back of the classroom!
Looking at the back of the classroom, he could see a student with a familiar appearance sleeping soundlessly.
''Again!'' The teacher thought.
''If only he could graduate quickly, our school name wouldn't be tarnished by his talent!'' The teacher muttered with a sigh while staring at Rein in annoyance!
''Oi, REIN!'' He shouted!
But Rein was still sound asleep regardless of his surroundings!
Zzzzz~~
''...''
''This kid...''
Sensing that his yell was not get responded to, anger started to rush toward the teacher's head, and the surrounding students just chuckled while seeing this!
''Hehe..''
''Hehehe...''
Ssst!
''Rein!'' The student near Rein whispered!
''Rein, Wake Up!'' She kept whispering, trying to making Rein wake up!
Zzzzz~~
''Hmph, Since he won't wake up by himself, then I will do it myself!'' The male teacher said while taking a wood pen from his desk, and a wind then dancing around his finger!
''Take this as a lesson!'' He furiously added while throwing the wood pen with a little force toward the sleeping Rein!
Swoosh!
''This is bad!'' all of the students thought, except Rein, which is still sleeping soundlessly!
''Mr. Jun is a wind mage!''
''And he is already level 47!''
The student near Rein starts to become panic when she sees this!
''Rein!''
''Rein!'' She shouts in panic while forcefully kicking Rein's table and chair, which finally caught the attention of the sleeping Rein!
Yawn~~
''Did something happens?'' Rein said while yawning!
''Ahh, It's lunch already!'' He added while looking up from his table.
At the same time, the wood pen that Mr. Jun had thrown just perfectly hit his forehead!
''Ouch!'' Rein shouted in pain while covering his forehead!
''Uugh, My forehead...'' He added while stroking his forehead, which was now red and slightly bumpy!
The class became silent when they saw this incident, but suddenly one of the students can't hold his laugh!
''Pfft!''
''Haha..''
''Hahaha!''
All the students in the class started laughing when they saw Rein caressing his forehead in pain!
''Uugh...''
Ignoring his classmate, Rein then shouts, ''Who threw the wood pen over to my head!''
''I threw the wood pen to your head!''
''Do you have a problem with that, Rein!'' Mr. Jun said with a cold expression on his face while looking at Rein!
''Eh...''
''Mr. Jun!'' Rein muttered with a small voice and nervous expression on his face!
''Rein!'' Mr. Jun shouts!
''Yes, Sir!'' Rein instantly replied!
''Explain to us, What is a Dungeon!'' Mr. Jun asked with a firm tone!
''Dungeon?'' Rein muttered.
''Yeah, Dungeon, Don't tell me, you don't know about Dungeon!''
"Hmph, Of course, I know about Dungeon!" Rein replied to defend his pride!
Closing his eyes for a moment, Rein started trying to remember something from his head, and then he said, "Dungeon!"
"The dungeon is an otherworldly realm connected to this world through the Gate."
"Dungeons are also the second stage of the Azeroth System, which is the beginning of the second world disaster!"
''At least, he knows about this.'' Mr. Jin thought with a sigh while nodding his head when he heard Rein's explanation because Rein's brief descriptions were indeed accurate.
''In that case…''
"Do you know what will happen if the dungeons Hunter don't close it on time!'' Mr. Jun asked Rein.
''...''
"The things that will happen if the dungeon doesn't close on time..." Rein silently whispered to himself, who suddenly fell silent as if frozen.
A terrible incident in his mind suddenly resurfaces, which makes a cold sweat appears on his head!
Tried to calm himself down, Rein then replied, "When the dungeon not finished on time..."
"In at least seven days, A Dungeon Break will occur..."
''Dungeon Break!''
"Dungeon Break is a nightmare for Hunter because it will cause great destruction! The monsters in the dungeon will come out and start crossing into this world!"
"Not only is Dungeon Break extremely dangerous, and can cause tremendous destruction and chaos."
"Dungeon Break can also accelerating the process of destroying this world, so that's why a lot of hunters are trying to find new worlds that humans can live in!"
"At least he has enough knowledge ..." Mr. Jun muttered in acceptance, but he kept on sighing while listening to Rein's explanation.
He wasn't unhappy with the knowledge Rein had, and on the contrary, he was happy that Rein had that knowledge!
"If only he had enough talent ..."
"Sigh, let's continue the lesson!" He said while walking toward the chalkboard.
''Rein!''
"Yes, sir!" Rein responded instantly!
''If you sleep again...''
"Then I'll make your score fall in my lesson!"
''EH!''
The lesson continues!
When school is over, we can see teenagers wearing black school blazers!
This teenager has short black hair with a bang cover his left eyes and a rather handsome face.
But when we look at the expression on his face, we know that he is in trouble.
"Ah, How could something like this happen!" Rein shouted with a little annoyance at what happened to him today!
"Usually, He won't punish me like this!" He added while feeling targeted by his teacher.
''Uggh, and I still have a part-time job!''
"I'd better hurry up," Rein said with a sigh, but a little resentment was still in his heart.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's here, right?" He whispered as he walked into the dark alley.
With a bad mood, Rein also tried to bypass the usual shortcut he took to go home!
He did not realize a small patch of crack on the ground!
Krak!
''Eh?'' Rein shouts in surprise, and suddenly he fell into a dark hole!
[Ding!]
[You have entered the hidden dungeon!]
[Mission: Clear the Dungeon!]
Bam!
A cloud of dust flying when Rein, falling from the dark hole!
Rein tried to analyze what was happening to him right now.
Pinching his cheek, Rein can feel a sense of pain, which indicated that what he was facing was real!
''Uugh...''
''This is not a dream...''
''Ah! God Damn it!!! ''
Rein staring blankly at the blue screen in front of his face!
He blinked a few times before he screamed!
''Ah! God Damn it!''
[Ding!]
[You have entered the Hidden Dungeon!]
[Mission: Clear the Dungeon!]
''Why...''
"Why did something like this happen to me!" Rein shouted in shock and frustration!
Averting his gaze toward the hole where he falls in, Rein can see a gleaming light of gate on it!
''Ah...''
''Damn it!'' He shouted in an angry mood while staring at the hole that made him fall into this dungeon!
"How come there's a Gate in a random alley like this!" He added with a frown and feeling helpless at his situation right now.
''Sigh, Calm down, Rein...'' Rein thought while closing his eyes to calm himself down!
"I better find a way to get out of this dungeon..." he said as he inspected the surroundings and then let out a heavy sigh.
''If you look at the light color of this gate.''
''This Dungeon should be at around level 1-15 by the white blinking light on the Gate.'' Rein said while staring at the sparkling white color around the gate! Which under the hole he fell in earlier!
''Hmm...''
"The Gates are divided into five categories ..."
[White Gate which is a Dungeon that has a possibility of having a difficulty level 1-20 levels]
[Yellow Gate which is a Dungeon that has the possibility of having a difficulty level of 20-40 levels]
[Purple Gate which is a Dungeon that has a 41-60 difficulty level]
[Black Gate which is a Dungeon that has the possibility of having a difficulty level of 61-80 levels]
"And the last gate, which has the greatest danger level of all the gates ..." Rein murmured while sucking a cold breath.
[Gate Red which is a Dungeon that has the possibility of having a difficulty level of 81-100]
Not only were these gates dangerous, but there were also even cases where the level of a gate changed suddenly when the hunter tried to clear the dungeon!
"But this Dungeon..." He muttered as he looked at the system screen.
''Hidden Dungeon?''
"I've never heard of any information about Hidden Dungeon before?" Rein thought while memorized some information in his head, which doesn't have any pieces of information about Hidden Dungeon.
"Never mind...''
''I'd better get out of this dungeon first, and after that, I will report this dungeon to the hunter association." "He continued while trying to climb the rock wall.
Crack!
''Eh!''
The sound of crumbling rock echoing through Rein's ears! Which appears when he tried to grab the rock on top of his head.
''Sigh, I can't get out from this place, huh...'' Rein muttered while looking at the rock wall in front of him.
''Even if I shout out on top of my lung...''
''Surely no one will come here because my voice won't reach to the other side.''
Gripping his own hand in frustration, Rein then averted his gaze toward the cave! Which probably the entrance of the Dungeon room.
Rein then muttered.
''Status…''

[Innate Skill: Appraisal]
"Sigh, my stats haven't increased much in these seven years…'' Rein muttered with a heavy sigh.
"I don't even have SP at all! Even though the capacity of my Sp is larger when compared to any teenagers at my age." He added with a wry smile.
''Talent, huh.''
''Manaless...''
The curse word signifies a person who has no mana in their body, even though they have a large Sp capacity!
Nearly 20% of all human beings are Manaless, and 20% of these humans often looked down upon by today's society.
Not only did they didn't have mana as they couldn't use magic, but their bodies are also usually weaker than humans in general!
But that doesn't mean Manaless can't be a Hunter! A Manaless can be a Hunter! As long as they reach level 10, they can choose Fighter jobs, which allows them to practice qi to strengthen their bodies!
"But to reach level ten, Manaless have to enter the dungeon..."
"Which is very dangerous and very risky..."
"Even on the white dungeon, the chances of dying in a dungeon are really high!"
"If someone doesn't have a group that can allow them to hunt together..."
"Then that's equivalent to suicide!" Rein coldly said in his heart while staring at the cave.
"Only people who have a lot of money can hire a Hunter to protect and helping them leveling up while in the dungeon."
''As for me..."Rein muttered with a bitter taste on the tip of his tongue.
''No...'' Rein continued while shaking his head.
"I still have a chance as long as I work hard!"
''I need weapons...'' Rein said as he glances at the portal and the walks toward the entrance of the dungeon room!
His eyes then wandering through the cave, which is pretty weird even though it was dark, he could easily see the surrounding!
Because of the sudden event, Rein couldn't prepare any weapon to protect himself!
''Hmm...''
''It's should be around here, right?'' He muttered as he picked up his school bag, which had fallen on the ground.
"If I'm not mistaken, I have those tools..."
Opening the bag, Rein found his textbooks and some school supplies, but only two items caught his attention!
''One Iron ruler.''
"And a compass!" Rein said while looking at the two tools in his bag! Which a 30-cm iron ruler and a compass with a sharp-pointed needle!
"Hopefully...''
''This dungeon isn't a goblin dungeon." Rein said while praying in his heart and walk into the dungeon room!
Entering the cave, Rein found ten meters passage, which connected to a large cavern!
Cit!
Cit!
Cit!
Screeching sounds echoing from the tunnel, and Rein could see swarms of red light streaking his way!
''Rats!'' Rein shouted in surprise!
''Underground Rat!''
''Even though their levels are low...''
''I can't underestimate them! Because they have a large number!''
''Uugh...'' Rein eyes staring at the iron ruler in his hand and the muttered, ''I'm not sure if this iron ruler and compass can last up to the monsters in this dungeon."
''I also have to attack them blindly because I can't kill them one by one...''
''I also don't have any environmental advantages that I can use!'' Rein thought that he would not win if he only attacked these rats one by one.
**[Apparaisal!] **Rein shouted while activating a skill that was owned by all human races.
Information about the monsters he was about to face appeared in his sight.
[Name: Fierce Rat!]
[Species: Underground Rat]
[Level: 01-03]
[Skills: Swarm and Bite]
"Fortunately, I still have my school blazer, and at least I'm sure the blazer can fend off a few bites from an underground rat."
Rein started swinging his ruler at the hordes of rats!
Kssk!
Kraa!
Cit!
Cit!
[You have severely injured the underground rat!]
[You have severely injured the underground rat!]
[You have severely injured the underground rat!]
[You have severely injured the underground rat!]
[You have severely injured the underground rat!]
[You have severely injured the underground rat!]
[You have severely...]
The notification sound continued to echo in Rein's head, but he didn't pay any attention to it!
He was too focused on killing a horde of underground rats in front of him!
[-75 Hp]
[-37 Hp]
''Hmm?!" Rein felt something crawling on his school blaze, and he quickly jumped to the side while trying to shake his body!
''Take this!''
[You have killed the underground rat!]
[You have killed the underground rat!]
[You have killed the underground rat!]
[You have killed the underground rat!]
[You have killed the underground rat!]
[You have killed the underground rat!]
[You have killed...]
[You have leveled up!]
[You have leveled up!]
"Huu...''
''Huu...''
''Huu..." Rein breathed heavily while a numb and sharp pain come from his leg!
''Hiss... '
[-50Hp]
A few underground rats managed to bite Rein!
Rein quickly swung his iron ruler at the mouse, and a notification sound appeared in his head.
[You have leveled up!]
"I leveled up three times ..." said Rein with a great surprise as he saw the multitude of corpses of underground rats scattered around him.
Rein then averting his gaze to the metal ruler in his hands, which looks very dirty cause it has-been covered in underground rats' blood!
"It's not over yet..." said Rein while looking at the hallway in front of him.
[Ding!]
[You got a new title!]
[Rat Hunter]
''Ehh?!!''
''Finally…''
"I managed to kill all the underground rats in here ..." Rein said with a heavy breath while looking around him, which already full of underground rat's corpses!
The school blazer that he was wearing was already full of monster blood and dusty dirt!
But even though the blazer is full of bite marks, we can see that Rein doesn't have any fatal wounds.
[Ding!]
[You have achieved a title!]
[Rat Hunter!]
''Ehh?!''
Rein was so surprised by the unforeseen notification from Azeroth System!
''Title?''
''Rat Hunter...''
[Rat Hunter]
[Description: A title acquired after killing more than one hundred rats type monster! Get +2 STR, 3+ AGI, and 2+ VIT after used]
[Type: Active]
[Effect: When using this title, you will deal 10% more DMG when fighting a rat type monster!]
''Hmm? So, I can increase my stats with this title!'' Rein muttered with a frown on his face.
''Dealing 10% more damage, huh...'' He added while thinking about the advantage after he uses this title!
''How do I uses this title?''
[Ding!]
[Do you want to use this title!]
"Yes!" Rein responded while nodding his head!
''Rat Hunter?''
"I don't feel any difference in my body?" Rein muttered as he doesn't feel any particular change in his body!
''Eh?''
Rein suddenly realize something!
"The bite wound already got healed?" Rein said with a little surprise as he felt the numb pains in his whole body had disappeared!
"Status Recovery after leveling up!" He added with a little thought. Rein remembering that when a person manages to level up, their wounds will naturally recover.
''Status…''

[Innate Skill: Appraisal]
''So this is the effect on my stats after I use it, huh...'' Rein muttered in awe!
"The stats that increase the most are the INT and STR ..." Rein affirmed with a little happiness that he was finally able to increase his strength!
"LUK's stats didn't increase at all?"
''Sigh...''
''But, Six more levels, and I can choose a Fighter job!'' He said with a newfound determination!
As long as he can go up to level 10 and choose a Fighter job, Rein doesn't have to worry about his family problems.
"Lisa...'' Rein suddenly muttered while remembering his sister, who is probably worriedly waiting for him at home!
"I have to get out of this dungeon quickly!"
''I have nine free stats points!'' Rein thought as he looks at his status screen!
''How do I uses these stats to its full potential...''
Rein got into muddled thoughts as he was a bit confused about which attribute to put his stats points.
"Let's remember some information about stats ..."
"If I'm not mistaken." He muttered.
[STR (Strength): Increases physical attack and usable weight capacity.]
[AGI (Agility): Increases attack speed and dodge ability.]
[VIT (Vitality): Increases physical defense and capacity as well as HP regeneration.]
[INT (Intelligence): Increases magic attack, magic defense, as well as SP capacity and regeneration.]
[DEX (Dexterity): Increases the accuracy and stability of the attack! This stat also reduces the casting time of skills.]
[LUK (Luck): Increases Critical Hits and Perfect Dodge Rate.]
"If I take into my calculations. I can grasp the advantages and disadvantages of each stats..." Rein muttered while looking at the status screen.
"I better increase my AGI, DEX, and LUK first!" "He continued and immediately distributed his stats points.
''Hmm...''
''This should be enough, right?''

"Even if my VIT is low, at least I have a high enough AGI to be able to avoid monster attacks!"
''And with my high LUK, I may be able to increase the probability of my critical attacks!''
Averting his gaze towards the end of the passage, Rein decided to walk cautiously to the next dungeon zone.
''This is...'' Rein muttered with a dumbfounded expression when he sees the view of the next Dungeon area!
If the passageway he walks before could be said to be just an opening, then the place where Rein is now is a mid-event!
Cit!
Cit!
Cit!
Three hordes of underground rats stood fiercely in the middle of the cave, and he could see that three underground-rats had bodies three times bigger than the rats he fought earlier!
''I need to hide first!'' He muttered as he sees a rock that big enough for him to hide!
Rein's eyes, peeking a bit from the rock!
[Appraisal]
[Name: General of the Underground Rat!]
[Species: Underground Rat]
[Level: 05]
[Skills: Battle Cry and Deep Bite]
''Level Five!'' Rein muttered while sucking a cold breath.
"And there are three of them!" Rein added with a little fear on his face because not only these three rats could control the rat's horde! ''Their strength definitely higher than normal underground rats!'' Rein felt thought with a little unsure if he could win or not this time!
''Hmm, I need something...'' He thought while a lot of plans were running in his head at the moment.
''Something...''
"I have to find something I can..." Rein muttered as he observed every corner of this cave.
''Ah, That's...''
''Stalactites?'' Rein said in surprise because of these stalactites.
"If only I could make a vibration or force that strong enough to make the stalactites fall!" Rein thought of something that could make the stalactites on the ceiling of the cave fell and struck the rats below it.
''Hmm?'' Rein felt some shaky lump below his left leg!
"Ah, a rock!" He said as he saw many rocks around the size of a tennis ball.
Rein quietly taking the stone near below his left feet and tried to squeeze the rock to check its hardness!
''This rock is solid enough...''
''Maybe with this, I can..." Rein muttered and nodded his head!
Removing the tie around his neck, Rein began wrapping the tie around his hands while tearing the long piece of his blazer to make a stone thrower.
"I have to get their attention, throw this stone with a powerful impact on the stalactites, and then run!" Rein muttered!
Collecting a fair amount of tiny rock on his palm, Rein then taking a light breath as he throws tiny-rocks toward the place where many stalactites formed!
Prak!
Prak!
Cit!
Cit!
Cit!
Hordes of rats start to react when they hear and feel the movement of falling rock, which directs them toward a deadly place where a significant amount of stalactites developed!
''This is the moment!'' Rein whispered with a firm tone while swinging the ripped blazer!
After feeling the force is enough, Rein then ejecting a rock in the ripped blazer toward the stalactites!
Swooosh!
"I hope this works..." Rein chanted in his mind while looking at the rock he threw almost hit the stalactites on the cave ceiling.
Crack!
A sound of crack echoing through Rein's ears, and a little smile appears on his face!
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
The stalactites began to fall one by one and hit the rats underneath them!
Cit!
Cit!
Boom!
Boom!
Dust flew around the cave, and Rein's vision got blocked because of this dust.

The notification sounds from the Azeroth System started raining down on Rein's head!
But after a few minutes, the notification sound finally stopped, and a level-up notification appeared in front of Rein!
[You level up!]
[You level up!]
'' I leveled up twice!'' Rein happily muttered as he managed to level up twice.
Peering into the dust that was starting to dissipate, Rein could see a horde of rats that had turned into a mass of crushed meat.
"Uugh..." Rein closed his mouth to stop himself from vomiting!
"Calm yourself, Rein..." Rein muttered to himself!
''Hmm...''
''Maybe that's the next passage?!'' He said while looking at the path across the rats.
Cit!
Cit!
''Hmm?''
"There are still some underground rats that survived the fall of the stalactites!"
''At least it becomes easier...''
"All right." Rein said while holding tight to the iron ruler.
"Before walking to the next area."
''I'll finish the remaining rats first!''
