In the situation infront of him han decides's to give into the strange presence infont of him as he says
"Continue"
Suddenly the blue screen infront of him said

(Stats and skills can be increased as host gains more experience and when host consumes new soul)
The entire interface was just like in any game he seen so han did not know what he should do .
"Consume Soul "
"Like in death reaper stuff?"
He was at Lvl 1 currently and all his stats were between 9 and 10 too.
If he had faced the truth his stats where what he expected them to be ,as even as an f rank he was almost the same as an normal below F rank ,nothing surprising there.
And before he could read the remaining suddenly he could hear the footsteps of people trying to get inside the room he is currently in , suddenly he moved his gaze towards the door of the room and as expected it was the bald doctor from earlier,behind him were another doctor and the nurse who looked after him.
The bald doctor came forward put up the chair beside him and sat on it,he quickly put up a small smile maybe to calm down han if he was experiencing something ,he enquired
"How do you feel "
Han was at a state of confusion as of why the doctor could not see the status infornt of his face, without any furthur doubt han quickly replied to the doctor to avoid uncessary suspicion .
"I am feeling much better than before "
His words lightened the mood doctor then told han how he suddenly went into a state of seizure and how his heartbeat suddenly increased to a dangerous level and how lucky when they arrived to check him he suudenly woke up.
Throught the doctors words han understood the situation quickly,when he went inside his memory earlier ,his body went to such a bizzare state ,he knew from that his body can be affected very badly if he messed around with this strange power.
As the doctor inquired more of his health ,they said "You body condition is quite alright and you can discharge today ",the doctor then leaves the room ,before he leaves han quickly remebring that Mr Jung who was with him when he narrowly escaped the collpsed dungeon,
The doctor replies saying ..
"Oh , that man just had a small fracture in his legs and earlier his daughter discharged him .
Han with a sense of relief ,he was worried something bad had happened to Mr jung ,he stands up from the bed and changes back to his former clothes ,suddenly as he prepared to leave a knock on his room ,han went to check who it was, infront of him there were 3 people wearing casual work dress ,but all of them had a suspicious look to them , and among them the investigator from earlier Jin ho park he quickly took out a card from is pocket which indicated he was from indeed the organisation .
Han knowing nothing asks them why they are here,jin ho steps in saying they wanted ot question him due to the recent dungeon collapse , han nooded in agreement and let them in.
" I apologise that we came to you ,before you discharge ".
"Unfortunatily instead of wasting both of our time ,we had to make such a visit."
Jin ho took out his ID and gave it to han .
Han recieved it and started to read what was written .
"Jin ho park, age 28, married , A rank hunter, cheif of hunters investigation division ,"Korean hunters association ?'.
He was clearly part of the investigation group based on hunter and thier crimes ,well since they are people who investigate and monitor actions of high rank hunters .
"So how can I help you?"
Jin ho sat down on a chair and the other man standard behind him, both of relesed a strange but dangerous aura as they stared ,down on han ,jin ho contiued teeling what had happened before he went unconsious .
" what the dungeon collapsed from the inside and it's the first case ever in the entire world?"
It might be confusing as of what a dungeon collapse was jin ho explained clearly to han that dungeon break is a normal occurence as in somecases the monsters come out of these dungeons , but for a dungeon to collapse from the inside was unheard of !.
Han gulbed down his throught of hearing about this for the first time , and to face it he knew that he was the reason such a phenomenon occured .
"Please tell us what actually happened."
Han without missing anything told them them everything about the incident but removed the truth about the strange power which eneterd inside him,as he doesnt want to get in more trouble.
" So that all happened before the incident occured and your went unconsious.. is it?"
"Yes.I open my eyes next thing I was here"
As expected they did not get anything meaningful from han ,as they glanced each other.
Han who wanted to know what happened later on.
"Is that strange dungeon still there?"
"To be frank the dungeon had disappeared by the time went there and got the information about the collapse from the spectators "
Han was a little reliefed knowing that the dungeon was gone by the time he collapsed as now he didnt have to care about anything else ,nor to fear of being caught by the association members .
To not show any suspicion han acted as if he was surprised by what he heard and experienced
" It's truly hard to believe such a thing occured as the dungeon also disappers from the scene and we had only the testimony from the survivours,we suspect this to be a start of something else "
Jin ho thought deeply
As in a his years as a top invesatigator and on top of it being a A rank hunter ,he did never ever heard of or experinced such a thing till this day.
To confirm and know more about this matter he even got help from other guilds and famous hunter organisations througout the country and others ,but all of them bunked the incident and the higher ups told him to close the case.
"Since this a rare case , on top of it something we can't completely ignore , we had to check through all possibilities of why this phenomenon occured .
" So we want you come to the association when you recieve properly to conduct and overall resurvey ,to check if the people went inside the dungeon have experience something unsual "
Even if han did not undergo a check up none of them would actually care about it, as his stats for an f-rank hunters was worse than a E rank hunters ,basically he was the same as any human being .
As they spend more than enough time jin ho park and his lackeys quickly bowed down slightly, while giving han 2 small cards one with his number imprinted on it and the other was for the something like a Black market or something , and it had very strange address on it.
"Thank's for your cooperation so far ,if you have any other news about this incident please contact us in this number."
"Hey 'honey, ji woo wanted to know more about this Balck market thing ,
But as if they take life's were in danger both left the room in a giffy.
Knowing that he has nothing to do here han also packs up his reaming stuff and exits the hospital.
On the way to his apartment han experinced a hunger which he had to quench as fast as possible , since he had lived a normal life during his time as an cleaner he knew about all the different alley ways in souel which would lead him to a close by cheap restaurent .
As such alley let him reach a close by restaurent , it was a run down building with red carpets lying down and was run by a two old couples ,as it had no proper seating arrangment only take away option was available, but they had a wide array of dishes like "Jjajangmyeon", "Tteokbokki", "Bibimbap","Sundubu Jjigae", "Samgyeopsal" , "Japchae" and much more, and to add to that it was cheap and all of them tasted delecious , for people who know about this place it's a gem among gem.
" While thinking about the spot han started to drool all over.
NEXT, suddenly he came back to reality and placed his order.
As han put out his order for a portion of Jjajangmyeon and for banchan he ordered Danmuji, Kkakdugi, Eomuk,Fried Mandu,kimchi and Oi Muchim, at last all combined they costed ji woo about 7,000 KRW around $6 USD for all the sides and the huge portion he got the prize was very low.
As he payed the money and was about to leave
" hey stop grabbing my hand ", it was from a girl surely.
It was a voice coming for a unfamiliar person ,but surely from a girl as he drifted his gaze towards where the voice was coming from ,he saw a during man forcefully grabbing the hands of girl someone who looked around his own age .
"Hey little girl play with uncle will ya ", the drunk mans face became red as he said it .
The girl again and again resisted his advances and now he was grabbing her hands , knowing he should step up han went closer and called out the man, he looked like bald middle aged man , with fat stomach .
"Stop resisting you little prik", the mans grip became more strong .
"Don't touch me, you disgusting bald fart," the girl retorted, her voice laced with anger and contempt.
The man's face contorted with rage. "How dare you call me bald?"
Fists clenched, he raised his hands, ready to strike the girl. Just as the impending violence was about to unfold, a dark figure emerged, blocking the girl from harm. It was Han Ji Woo.
The old man scoffed at Ji Woo's warning and tried to push him aside. "How dare you act as a hero?"
But Han, despite his previous failures as a hunter, still possessed the physique and instincts of a tue martial artist . Resisting a normal human was no challenge for him. He took hold of the man's hands and twisted them, followed by a powerful punch that rendered the old man unconscious.
A piercing scream echoed as the old man fell to the ground in pain.
With the incident defused, a crowd began to gather around Han and the girl. Unwilling to draw more attention, Han swiftly retreated, his pace akin to a man fleeing from fire. In his haste, he accidentally dropped his "Hunters License" from his rear pocket.
The girl he had saved cried out, "Mister, hey, don't go!" But Han had vanished into the winding alleyways, leaving only his license behind. She picked it up and read his name aloud, "Han Ji Woo, huh?"
Meanwhile, Han sprinted back to his apartment, gasping for breath. "I won't ever do anything like that again. I almost became the center of attention!"
Deep down, he felt sympathy for the girl he had saved. She would likely have a lot of explaining to do.
Once inside his apartment, the familiar ceiling and interior greeted him, reminiscent of the place he had seen in his dreams. As he sat down and indulged in the delicious food he had bought, Han's mind wandered back to the hospital memory, and tears welled up in his eyes as he ate his Jjajangmyeon.
