CHAPTER 2

 "Hmm, I thought system were only seen in novels and stories. Who knows? Maybe my life is a novel." Lee min says obviously depressed.

 The system clears from the previous notification and shows another thing.

'System Update' A Warm-Up Quest:Survive a raid of land worms for 30:00.

  Lee min looked at it and smiles broadly. "A quest already? Looks I can't even reject it. Well, I accept."

The system tings, and he suddenly gets teleported to a dry and desert world.

 Lee min looks around, careful and strategizing where the land worms would come from.

 Suddenly, the ground starts shaking and rumbling. A land worm, long and brown with acetic teeth that try to shred Lee min.

  He quickly evades it, jumping away as it digs into the ground and comes up growling at Lee min.

'Notification' Land worm- A D rank outsider that has long like figure with stabbing teeth and sluggish body that makes it dig through the earth like a mole. Skills:None.

Lee min looks at the notification and smiled. "A d rank, huh? Easy-peasy, lemon squeeze." Lee min says as he bends down and summons a knight armor with a white shield and sword.

 'Notification' Host has summoned an ordinary D rank knight armor that increases DF and ATK by 2%.

Skills: Clover Shield,Turbine Cut, Boomerang Shield.

Lee min looks at the screen as he runs to it. The land worn dives up from the ground, but Lee min luckily dodges it.

  He dashes to it and it does the same. It starts to twist in the air and tries to shred him, but he defends the attack with its shield.

It suddenly digs into the ground leaving Lee min in a dangerous suspense that could end his life. It suddenly dives up from the ground and headbutts Lee min, but he doesn't get affected. 'TURBINE CUT' His eyes shine blue as he learns the skill immediately.

He starts to spin holding his sword tightly as he heads downwards towards the land worm.

 The land worm stress freely enters the earth avoiding the fatal attack.

"Damn, I have to find a way of making it stay on land." Lee min thinks as he sees the land worm going in and out of the ground like a sowing thread.

 He creates and opportunity and throw his shield making it to pierce a little part of the land worm's stomach. It shrieks in pain and falls on the floor. Lee min jumps up and stabs his sword into the land worm's head killing it.

 He cleans his sweat and the system appears. 'Survival Time Remaining : 25:49 minutes.'

 "Hmm, I used five minutes to kill a land worm. Since there are no other. Let me explore." Lee min says out loud pretending foolishly to tip off the other land worms heading his way.

He feels that there are close by and jumps up avoiding their surprise attack. He smiles knowing his plan worked as he sees two landworms growling at him.

  They both charge at him with intimidating speed, more faster than the other one. Lee min is surprised but manages to evade and dodge their continuous and flurry movements.

"Although the knight armor is good for defense, it's still at a disadvantage when it comes to speed." Lee min reasons in his mind as he continues to evade their attack.

 Both of the land worms face Lee min with their teeth as something weird starts to happen.

Both of their teeth shoot out and their lips pull back making them more uglier than before. They starts to twist and turn, making their body to conjoin forming a new and deadly species leaving Lee min shocked and in horror.

'System Update' Land worms have evolved to a Land digger - A B rank outsider that penetrates any solid substance with its penetrating teeth. Skills:Drill Rush.

Lee min looks at his system and right back at the land digger. It's body starts to move on the ground, twisting and drilling it's skin to make it more rigid and fast.

  It zooms off to Lee min and almost catches him as surprise.

 'CLOVER SHIELD.' He puts his shield at his front making a giant four leaf clover to appear in front of him. It guards him from the penetrating land digger, but the leaf starts to crack as it is not that strong.

  Lee min knows that he has to find a way to destroy this thing before it destroys him. He looks around, looking for clues that can help him in this terrifying and dreadful moment.

  He finds something and smiles broadly. He throws his sword up towards the land digger, playing a gamble as he hopes it lands on its edge.

 The gamble works and the sword stabs the land digger making it to stop it's move. He smiles and thanks his creator for saving him.

He stands straight and his body turn white as he exchanges his armor. The armor appears and it is red with a black gauntlet and gems embedded at the face of the gauntlet and it's chest.

  Lee min is surprised as he never knew he could summon an armor this awesome.

'Notification' Host has summoned the Scarlet Knuckle Armor- a D rank, but powerful armor that gives the user speed and punch strength. The giant gem on the chest gathers on the pain inflicted on the user and when full, erupts to a powerful explosion. Skills: Jungle Spin, Burst Out , Death Punch.

 Lee min looks at his opponent, every fibre of his body urging for a fight and a win.

 It jumps to it and holds its tail, swinging it very fast and making it dizzy. He jumps up and hits it down making it very weak.

  'DEATH PUNCH' He flew up and started landing straight to it's head with a deadly fist. It lands and the impacts sends a coarse breeze throughout the entire dry land.

It dies and the system appears again. 'Survival Time Remaining: 18:36. Leveled up. Leveled up.' Lee min looks up to see many land worms and land diggers starting at him with ferocious teeth and shredding growls.

  Although he is frightened, he shakes off the feeling and smiles cockily at all of them.

'Survival Time Remaining: 00:09'. Lee min is still in his scarlet knuckle armor with the gem already full. He is breathless as blood flows from his head to his chin but his face is still beaming with excitement.

  5 land worms charge at him with impressive speed but he doesn't flinch. 'BURST OUT' The gem starts to shine and cause an explosion that kills all the land worms.

It also sends him flying hitting the a pile of dead- land worms. '00:06' A land digger starts heading to him with its teeth ready for shredding.

 " 'Chuckles' I never knew this is how my life would end." '00:04'. 'GROWL' '00:03', '00:02,' '00:01', The land digger opens its mouth to swallow Lee min.

'00:00' Quest Completed. Host will be teleported back to his world. Lee min opens his eyes and looks up to see himself on the road that h accepted the quest.

The system appears to show him his reward.

 'Rewards- D rank healing potion: cures the wound,but it doesn't erase the scars. Diamond ring: No perks. Silver Necklace: No perks. Land worm skin dagger: a dagger made out of land worm's scale. It is suitable for an assassin armor and it has a chance of inflicting a critical strike on every third attack.

He looks at all the items and summons them. He drinks the healing potion and wears the diamond ring. He keeps the silver necklace in his bag and he keeps the dagger in his new arsenal box.

  The system screen clears and it shows another information. 'New skill unlocked. Central Lust- Host gets a boost that increases all his stats by 15%. It also gives the host's armor 12% durability. Side Effect: Host loses his mind and fights insanely.

Lee min gets shocked by the side effect and clears the information away. "Okay, now that that's over. It's time to give you a name. I'll nammmme you Han Yuba." Lee min says smiling. 'System has been identified has Han Yuba'

 Lee min starts to walk home, staring at the penetrating presence of the dying moon.

  He knows that his last few has taken a drastic turn and the only thing he has on his mind is to become the strongest armor user ever.

 He knows that he will face many challenges that will push him to the wall, but he will not give up until he achieves his goal.....
