Regression

In the dungeon that contains treasure that can be sell at a guild hall or at an auction house

What is a dungeon? Dungeon is a place that is connected through a portal called "Space Cracks".

People who enter a space crack are called "hunters". What is a hunter's job?

A hunter's job is to clear a dungeon that was assigned by a guild.

The top three biggest guilds in Korea are the Azure Guild, Velvet Guild and Topaz Guild.

Not to mention, every hunter has a rank. Rank is determined by how much mana you possess.

There are 7 major ranks.

From S to F rank.

Here I am, a hunter of F-rank at the brink of death.

"I don't want to die! If I have one more chance! Just once…..!"

Suddenly, a strange thing happens….. A game system-like appears before me

"Player KANG HILJYUN has died. Regressing 7 years into the past"

Hiljyun thought he had died- No- He was sure that he died

"Where am I? This is… my room?! I was sure that I died on the battlefield! How can I be here if I already died?"

He felt confused to what's going on. The only thing he remembers is his death and the system saying he died.

"A system… What is that system?"

He wondered to himself.

"Maybe I should try saying "System" like how systems in RPG games work."

Hiljyun tried saying the word "System" and it worked. A system window appeared in front of him and it was showing every accessible command like storage, skill tree, stat points and other commands available.

"Hmm…Stat view"

Hiljyun tried the command Stat view to see his overall stats. His overall stats prove how weak he is.

"I should try this command… Quest"

A window appeared showing every available daily, weekly and monthly quests. Just like how it works in RPG games.

As Hiljyun is checking the quest window, a new quest arrives. The new quest is about killing 5 Goblins in a dungeon near the Gwanghwamun Station entrance.

"A new quest…. Kill 5 Goblins in a dungeon near Gwanghwamun Station? That is not far from here. I should head there right away."

Hiljyun left his house and headed to the Gwanghwamun Station to do the quest. As he arrives there, there are soldiers who are guarding the space crack. Hiljyun walks towards one of the guards and asks for permission to enter the dungeon.

"Show me your hunter ID if you want to enter." Says the guard.

Hiljyun reaches out into his pocket and takes his hunter ID and hands it to the guard.

"Here is my hunter ID. Can I enter now?" Ask Hiljyun.

The guard check his ID for confirmation and let him enter after he confirm that it was you

"You can enter now, Hunter Kang." Says the guard.

Hiljyun enters the dungeon and he finds some Goblins to kill to finish the quest. After some hours pass, Hiljyun finishes the quest and he also finishes the side quest of killing the boss of the dungeon, the D-rank Hobgoblin.

"I finished the quest. I should get out of this dungeon."

Hiljyun makes his way out of the dungeon after clearing his quest and getting some rewards. One of them is a dagger called 'Goblin Slayer'. The rest of the rewards are only stat points, gold and soul point. Hiljyun is confused about the 'soul point' because he never heard of it. Soul point is a system to count souls that you have absorbed by killing monsters or people. The more souls you have, the more you can spend on the soul exchange store in the System.

"Soul points? What is that? Soul exchange store?"

As Hiljyun are checking the Soul Exhange section to see what stuff he can exchange in the Soul Exchange section. Hiljyun only has five points only since he only killed five goblins.

"Only five soul points… What can i spend it on?"

As Hiljyun thinks, a mail from the system arrives. In the mail, there's a gift from the system for leveling up for the first time. The gifts are 30 soul points, 45 stat points and 300 golds.

"A gift from the system?! How generous."

Hiljyun sees this as an oppurtunity to use the stat points and the soul points.

"I should put some on damage, speed and defense."

Hiljyun uses some of the points on damage, speed and defence. He puts 25 damage points, 10 agility and 10 defence on his stats. He then proceeds to use some of the soul points he has.

"Let's see what I can buy with these soul points."

Hiljyun goes through the Soul Exchange section to see what he can buy with it. Shortly after, he found what he wanted. He found the book he wants which is the Magic Memoir to learn magics. He doesn't want the same ending before he regressed to occur again.

"Found it, I should learn magic so I can survive in the future. I don't want the same thing to occur again in the future. This time, I will survive!"

Hiljyun is eager to survive this timeline. He wants to be one of the strongest hunters in the world. If possible he wants to be the strongest out of all hunters in the world.

"This time, I will change my own future! To survive in this accursed world! To be the best of the best! I won't die this time! I'll survive!"
