**Against All Odds**

He knows that completing this task will bring him closer to unlocking new techniques and strengthening his abilities. The guild recruitment message remains in his phone, unattended, as he focuses on his goal.

Day 15: 90,000 steps

Xiao Luo's eyes widened as the system's voice echoed in his mind. "Task incomplete. Penalty imposed. Entering System Dungeon. Survive for 5 minutes. Countdown begins: 3...2...1...GO!"

The world around him blurred, and he felt himself being transported to a dark, eerie realm. The air was thick with an otherworldly energy, and the ground trembled beneath his feet. Suddenly, the dungeon's gates slammed shut, trapping him inside. A horde of twisted creatures emerged from the shadows, their eyes fixed on Xiao Luo with hunger and malice.

His heart racing, Xiao Luo readied himself for the battle of his life. He knew he had to survive for just 5 minutes, but the odds seemed impossible. The creatures closed in, their jaws snapping mere inches from his face. The clock started ticking.

Xiao Luo's legs pumped furiously as he sprinted through the dungeon, his feet pounding the dark earth. He had never run so fast in his life, his heart racing like a wild animal. The creatures gave chase, their snarls and growls echoing off the walls as they pursued him.

With a burst of adrenaline, Xiao Luo dodged a snapping jaw and leapt over a grasping hand, his agility and quick reflexes barely keeping him ahead of the pack. The dungeon's twisting corridors blurred together as he ran, his breath burning in his lungs.

Suddenly, he saw a glimmer of light ahead—the exit! With a final burst of energy, Xiao Luo sprinted towards freedom, the creatures mere steps behind. He burst through the gates, gasping for air, and emerged back into the bright world outside.

The system's voice echoed in his mind once more: "Survival time: 4 minutes 59 seconds. Penalty lifted. Rewards await."

Xiao Luo collapsed to the ground, exhausted but triumphant. He had survived the System Dungeon!

The system's voice echoed in Xiao Luo's mind once more: "Penalty lifted. Rewards granted: - Shadow Sprint technique - 10,000 EXP - 100 Silver Coins"
