"Huh man this shit look straight out of that one anime jjk" Jinhoo tought as he entered the circle dome and started ascended the grand staircase carved into the mountainside, the air grew thick with anticipation. The path was flanked by piles of gold coins and legendary weapons, their blades gleaming seductively in the dim light.
"Man, this place looks like the vault of a king," Jihoo muttered, his voice slightly muffled by the white mask adorned with red lines that he had recently purchased.
[Chat]
GamerGal98: "Whoa, look at all that loot!"
MysteryGamer76: "Pick up that sword! It looks epic!"
NoobMaster5000: "Grab the gold! You're rich now!"
He chuckled softly. "Tempting, but not today, folks. If I touch any of this, the rest will vanish. Can't have that," he explained, recalling that in Legends Online, picking up any of the treasures would cause the rest to disappear—a trap for the greedy.
He continued up the stairs, ignoring the treasures that surrounded him. His focus was solely on obtaining the relic—the Wine Cup of Hades.
At the top of the stairs stood a massive red wolf, its three heads snarling in unison. Each head had eyes that burned like embers, and its fur seemed to ripple like flames.
"Cerberus," Jihoo whispered, gripping the Sword of Judgment tighter. "This is going to be fun."
[Chat]
DarkKnightZero: "Wait, is that... Cerberus?!"
EpicFan42: "No way! He's going to solo a boss?"
MaskedAvenger22: "Dude's insane!"
Jihoo opened his system menu, deciding it was time to allocate the experience points he had earned from defeating the red wolves earlier.
"Better boost my stats before this fight," he said to himself.

Title: First Slayer of the Snake King

He felt a surge of power as his body adjusted to the new stats. His muscles tensed, and his senses sharpened.
"Alright, Cerberus. Let's dance."
As he stepped forward, Cerberus let out a thunderous roar, shaking the very ground beneath him.
[Chat]
FirstTimer101: "I have chills!"
WolfPackLeader: "No way he's taking on Cerberus solo!"
FlM: "He's so dead. No one can beat Cerberus alone."
Jihoo smirked under his mask. "Don't count me out just yet."
Cerberus charged, its massive paws leaving cracks in the stone steps. Jihoo dashed to the side with newfound agility, narrowly avoiding the beast's snapping jaws.
"Fast," he noted. "But I've got speed too."
He lunged forward, slashing at Cerberus's flank. The Sword of Judgment left a glowing trail as it cut through the air, but barely scratched the beast's tough hide.
"Looks like I'll have to aim for the weak spots."
Cerberus swung one of its massive tails, forcing Jihoo to backflip out of harm's way. Mid-air, he threw a small dagger from his inventory at the beast's middle head. The dagger struck true, embedding itself just above the eye.
Cerberus howled in pain, but seemed more enraged than injured.
"That got your attention."
The beast reared up, flames erupting from its mouths. Jihoo's eyes widened.
"Uh-oh."
He sprinted down the steps as a torrent of fire spewed forth, scorching everything in its path.
[Chat]
GamerGal98: "Watch out!"
NoobMaster5000: "Run!"
MysteryGamer76: "He's got this!"
Jihoo ducked behind a large boulder as the flames roared past him. "Fire-breathing dog. Great."
He glanced at his inventory. "Wish I had something for this."
Then he remembered the Strengthening Potion he had picked up earlier.
"Perfect."
He quickly drank the potion.

He felt another surge of power. "Time to end this."
Jihoo emerged from behind the boulder, charging straight at Cerberus. The beast prepared another fiery blast, but Jihoo was faster.
He zigzagged to avoid the flames, closing the distance between them. With a powerful leap, he soared above Cerberus, bringing the Sword of Judgment down onto the beast's middle head.
The blade pierced through the skull, and Cerberus let out an earth-shattering howl. The other two heads snapped at Jihoo, but he was already on the move.
He yanked the sword free and slid beneath the beast, slashing at its underbelly as he passed.
Cerberus staggered, blood pouring from its wounds.
"Almost there," Jihoo muttered.
He climbed onto the beast's back, dodging as it tried to shake him off. He drove the sword into the base of the left head's neck.
Another howl, and the left head went limp.
"One to go."
The right head twisted around, snapping viciously. Jihoo narrowly avoided the teeth, pulling the sword out just in time.
He jumped off Cerberus's back, landing gracefully a few feet away.
"Had enough yet?"
Cerberus stumbled, its two defeated heads dragging, but the last one still burned with rage.
It charged once more, but its movements were sluggish.
Jihoo saw his chance. He sprinted forward, meeting the beast head-on. At the last second, he slid under its jaw, thrusting the Sword of Judgment upward into the final head.
Cerberus halted, eyes wide, before collapsing in a heap.

A glowing light enveloped Cerberus's body, and a small chest appeared where the beast had fallen.
"Looks like my reward."
He approached the chest and opened it.

"Not bad at all."

"Now, for the treasure."
He remembered that the quest required him to find the Tower Ruler's treasure.
He scanned the area, his senses heightened. At the far end of the lair, a faint glow caught his eye.
"That must be it."
He made his way over, carefully stepping around the piles of gold and weapons. There, on a pedestal, sat an ornate chalice—the Wine Cup of Hades.
"Finally."
He reached out to take it, but hesitated.
"Wait, traps?"
He inspected the area around the pedestal.

Jihoo smiled under his mask. "Thanks for sticking around, everyone. That concludes today's adventure."
He made his way back towards the entrance.
As he exited the dome, he noticed the black barrier dissipating.
"Looks like others will be able to enter now."
He glanced at the horizon; the sun was setting.
"Time to head back."
[Chat]
EpicFan42: "Wait, don't go yet!"
MaskedAvenger22: "When's your next stream?"
Jihoo paused. "I'll be streaming again tomorrow. Make sure to follow so you don't miss it."
He ended the stream and sighed.

"Feeling stronger already."
He began the trek back home, contemplating his next move.
"With the Wine Cup of Hades and the Sword of Judgment, I'm well-equipped. But I need more skills."
As he walked through the now-quiet park, he tought " man who would of tought that i qould be raiding a towers rulers taritory in real life " as continued home.
Upon reaching his apartment, he removed his mask and collapsed onto the couch.
"What a day."
He checked his new streaming account.
"10,000 followers already?"
He browsed through the comments.
"Who is this guy?"
"Best streamer ever!"
"Can't wait for the next stream!"
Jihoo smiled. "Maybe this streaming thing will work out after all."
He stood up and stretched.
"Let me check my status."

"Guess leveling up has its perks."
His phone buzzed with notifications. Messages from old friends, articles about the towers, and social media buzzing about a masked streamer taking on Cerberus solo.
He smirked. "Looks like I'm making headlines."
As he scrolled through the news, a particular article caught his eye.
"Mysterious Masked Player 'King Raider' Defeats Cerberus Alone!"
"Huh, they even got my new username."
He read on.
"Players across the world are stunned by the appearance of a new contender. Going by the name 'King Raider,' this player has showcased incredible skill, defeating high-level bosses solo. Many are speculating about his identity and how he's managed to advance so quickly."
"Let them wonder."
Before heading to bed he checked the tower rankings.
