Morning came, and Jinhoo got out of bed. His messy black hair and tired, dark eyes stared back at him in the mirror. He stretched his chest, taking in his reflection.
"Huh, seems like yesterday's fight boosted my strength. I've gained muscle and even grown taller," he muttered.
Opening the system window, he scrolled through the Tower Rankings. "Huh, rank 23? Must be because I defeated the Snake King Mahoraga."
After brushing his teeth and taking a shower, he put on an all-black outfit. "Guess it's time to go for that relic."
"My next destination: [Namsan Park]."
"But first, let's get a mask."
After leaving the house, Jinhoo stopped by a nearby store and purchased a full white mask with red lines running down from the eyes.
"Huh, guess this will do until I get the mask relic."

[Namsan Mountain Park]
"Huh, time to get this started."
Jinhoo put on the mask and entered the area of the tower ruler.

"Huh, seems like I'm the first one here. That means the chances of getting the [Wine Cup of Hades] just went up by 90%."
"Haha!"
"Guess it's time to start the stream," Jinhoo said as he adjusted his mask to hide his face. He searched for the stream button in the system window. "Huh, it's really here. I didn't think it would be."
As he pressed the button, the stream started.
---
Jinhoo took a deep breath and entered the denser part of the park. The bushes rustled violently as three more red wolves emerged, baring their fangs and growling. He quickly counted them—three at once.
"Looks like they found me," he muttered, readying his sword. He needed to wrap this up quickly.
With a swift step, Jinhoo dashed forward, slashing at the first wolf. The Sword of Judgment cut cleanly through, sending the creature into glowing particles as it disintegrated. The remaining two leapt at him simultaneously. Jinhoo dodged one but felt the other graze his arm. He gritted his teeth.
"Not bad," he smirked, quickly countering with a spin that brought his blade down on the nearest wolf's spine. Another burst of particles filled the air.

Unknown_Viewer99: "Yo, who's this guy? First stream and he's already crushing it!"
MysteryGamer76: "Bro, dude's not showing his face? He's gotta be a pro, right?"
WolfPackLeader: "Man's out here soloing red wolves like it's nothing!"
---
Jihoo noticed the chat going wild as new viewers flooded in. This was his first stream on the new channel, but he had already doubled his old viewer count. 50k people were watching now.
"Y'all liking the stream so far?" he said casually, slicing through another wolf. Red fur flew in all directions as the beast collapsed into glittering particles.

FirstTimer101: "Hell yeah! You're insane, man. What level are you?"
DarkMask84: "Dude's gotta be a pro; no way this is a first-timer."
NoobKingZ: "Red wolves aren't supposed to be this easy. You farming?"
---
Jinhoo chuckled softly. "Something like that," he replied as he faced down the next wave of wolves. Six more red wolves emerged from the shadows, their red eyes glowing fiercely as they surrounded him.
"Six at once? Now we're talking."
He adjusted his stance, tightening his grip on the Sword of Judgment. He lunged forward with blinding speed, slicing through the first two wolves in a single motion. Before the others could react, he spun on his heel, delivering a fatal strike to the third wolf.
'This sword is OP as hell. No wonder the top player had it,' Jinhoo thought.
The remaining three howled in unison, lunging at him from different angles. Jinhoo sidestepped the first, parried the second, and ducked under the third's bite. With quick reflexes, he plunged his sword into the chest of the nearest wolf, twisting it to deliver a fatal blow. He wasted no time, immediately turning to finish off the last two with precise, clean strikes.

FlM: "Bro is so good I want to hate."
EpicFan42: "@FlM that's some loser behavior, bro."

As the chat blew up, Jinhoo wiped the sweat from his brow and kept moving forward. He could feel it—the final battle was approaching. But first, there were still nine more wolves to deal with.
The next wave came faster than expected. Nine red wolves burst from the bushes in all directions, surrounding him completely. Their growls grew louder, and their eyes gleamed with bloodlust.
"Well, chat," Jinhoo muttered, cracking his neck, "time to clear the rest."
He raised the Sword of Judgment high, the blade shimmering in the light. One by one, the wolves charged at him, but Jinhoo's reflexes were sharp, and his movements were calculated. He danced around them, slashing through fur and flesh like it was second nature. Each strike was precise, each kill clean.
The final wolf let out a low growl before lunging at Jinhoo with its fangs bared. He sidestepped easily, bringing his sword down with a powerful, final blow.

FlM: "How is this the best stream ever, and you don't even know the guy?!"
---
Jinhoo took a deep breath as the last of the red wolves disintegrated. He wiped the blade of his sword and sheathed it, turning his attention to the dark entrance of the tower ruler's lair. The ground beneath him rumbled slightly, signaling the presence of the boss inside.

"Alright, chat, the wolves are done. Time for the main event."
He stepped forward toward the large black circle covering the mountain.
