Ji woo lifted his finger at touched the skill "BLINK"
["BLINK: grants the user extraordinary speed and agility and can instantaneously traverse short to moderate distances with remarkable swiftness, seemingly vanishing from one spot and reappearing in another in the blink of an eye. "cost : 1 Mana point" ]
[ Login bonus : Appraisal skill Level 1 (passive)]
[ 'INVENTORY" is now available]
Ji woo's heart raced with a mixture of excitement and curiosity, the blue screen was unlike anything he had ever seen, a window to many possibilities" With it came the realization that this power was indeed his own, a tool that could potentially help him grow stronger in a world fraught with danger.
"Maybe," he whispered to himself, "maybe I can meet my family again. Maybe I can stand beside my loved ones once more."
Han's newly acquired system presents him with a mysterious interface
''New quest?"
Ji woo looked at the quest interestingly
" QUEST : PATH TO BECOME STRONG. "
{Objective: Enter the E-rank dungeon known as the "Goblin's Lair" and eliminate all monsters }
{Time limit : 23 HR , 59 MIN }
{Reward: Blaze Dagger (for mission success) }
{On failure of quest host will be electricuted for a whole day}
"Is this thing trying to kill me?"
As His frustration welled up, and he couldn't help it ?"
"Is this even possible?
It's hard to believe even a squad of experinced hunters to take down a dozen monsters together , let alone a hundred's of them presen inside."
Ji woo's face hardened ,with a heavy sigh, Han knew he had no choice but to tackle this seemingly impossible task.
"Let me prepare myself for the night."
the sun dipped below the horizon, Han locked his apartment and slipped into the quiet streets. Under the cover of darkness, he made his way to the E-rank dungeon. The time was 3:30 am, and he was alone in the cold predawn silence.
In the dim moonlight, he spotted two guards stationed at the entrance. Their attire bore the emblem of the Abyssal Guild, signifying their affiliation.
"It ,"seem's that the dungeon had been auctioned by the guild for training purposes!"
Han weighed his options, considering how to get past the gaurds.
'His gaze shifted to the skills bar,'' and a sly grin tugged at the corner of his lips.
"He had an idea!"
Ji Woo crouched behind a cluster of rocks, his heart pounding with excitement and a hint of mischief. With a deft flick of his wrist, he sent a stone hurtling into the distance, an action not unnoticed by the vigilant guards stationed nearby.
The first guard, sensing something amiss, ventured out to investigate the source of the disturbance. Before he could uncover the truth, Han Ji Woo struck again, this time from a different vantage point. The second guard, equally perplexed, turned his attention toward the new disturbance.
Their confusion deepening, the two guards exchanged hushed words and swiftly called for backup. A voice crackled from a walkie-talkie, urgency clear in their tone.
"Hey, we need backup."
Hidden behind the rocky cover, Han Ji Woo allowed himself a wry smile. "Lucky me."
Earlier, when he had checked his status, he discovered the "Blink" skill, a particularly new addition to his arsenal. It had caught his attention as it cost only 1 mana per use and allowed him to move with astonishing speed over a certain distance with almost no sound.
Fortunately, only high-ranking hunters possessed the ability to perceive the skill, which gave him a distinct advantage. Ji Woo hadn't anticipated how much this free skill would save him time, and the thought of leveling it up intrigued him. "What will happen if I upgrade it to the max level? I could have the most agile skill in the whole world."
Blink skill, the possibilities and limitations it presented. With just ten mana points at his disposal, he had already used the skill once, leaving him with only nine more uses.
"Nine more times," he mused, speaking to himself. "It's a powerful skill, but my mana is limited. I'll have to use it wisely and make each Blink count."
"Enough contemplating,"
Han Ji Woo stood at the entrance of the ominous dungeon, a place shrouded in mystery and filled with untold dangers. As he gazed at the foreboding structure, he couldn't help but marvel at the eerie craftsmanship that went into its construction.
he murmured to himself,with unwavering determination, Ji Woo ventured deeper into the dungeon, his senses bombarded by the familiar, repugnant scent of goblins
With caution in mind, he opened his status once more, and this time, he noticed a small, shop-like icon to the left of the screen. Curiosity piqued, Ji Woo tapped on the icon, muttering to himself,
"This is probably the store function, I guess."
As Ji Woo's finger made contact with the mysterious shop icon, a new screen burst to life before his eyes. The sight that greeted him was nothing short of awe-inspiring, leaving him breathless in its wake.
"Holy... extravigating," he muttered, his voice filled with disbelief.
Before him lay a staggering array of weapons and items, each more intriguing and powerful than the last. Names like Shadowfang Dagger, Frostfire Lance, and Bloodmoon Scythe adorned the virtual shelves, weapons with abilities and powers he had never even heard of.
"What are these?" Ji Woo marveled, his curiosity piqued. "I've never even heard of these weapons, and their abilities... they're extraordinary."
But his excitement waned when he looked to the upper corner of the screen and spotted an icon resembling coins. He glanced at the number next to it, and his heart sank. He had none. His face fell, realizing he wasn't properly prepared to take full advantage of this treasure trove.
Just when despair was about to take hold, a notification popped up, catching his attention. "Huh?" It was a message from the system, akin to a first-time login bonus in a game: "Player first-time login to store bonus: 2000 system coins."
A grin broke across Ji Woo's face. "Haha, luck is still on my side."
With newfound hope, he delved into the store, meticulously examining the various items he could purchase. Among them, he spotted a particular weapon that seemed tailor-made for his current situation. It was sleek and menacing, dagger .
With his appraisal skill, Ji Woo uncovered everything about the weapon
[ Ebonwind Dagger : unique ability Shadowmeld, which allowed the wielder to merge seamlessly with the shadows, rendering them nearly invisible in low-light environments. ( 3 mana points per time minute used. ) (Damage : 112 Per Attack)
"Ho, ho, ho!" Ji Woo couldn't contain his excitement.
"This unique ability, combined with the Blink skill... I can easily take down these monsters without further problems."
"Ji Woo had to address another issue the sword he had been wielding. Determined to focus on his new weapon of choice, he accessed his inventory and stored the sword there.
As he activated the inventory panel, he was met with a pleasant surprise. Alongside the sword, he noticed two additional items nestled within the virtual storage.
"Oh , "what are these?"
ji woo was particularly intriqued by them as they were bonus gift's from the system. Ji Woo's eyes widened as he beheld the contents.
"Seven Bead Snake Poison and an intermediate Mana Potion , intriguied he used appraisal skill on both of them."
(''SEVEN BEAD POISON : Bead Snake Poison is a potent and deadly toxin, derived from the venom of the mythical Bead Snake,Monsters affected by Bead Snake Poison experience a rapid loss of vitality and stamina, making them easier targets for hunters.
Effect : paralysis , Extreme pain, inflammation of skin")
(Intermediate mana potion : When consumed, an significant increase in the user's mana capacity occurs, enhancing their ability to perform spells, use skills, and manipulate mana, increasing the user's mana capacity by fifty units.
Effect : 50+ mana )
Han Ji Woo's excitement surged as he held the Intermediate Mana Potion in his hand. The prospect of increasing his mana capacity was a rare and precious gift, one that could be worth millions of dollars in the outside world. He marveled at the fact that he had received it for free.
With little hesitation, he uncorked the potion and gulped it down in a single swift motion. A sour lemony taste flooded his senses, but he endured it for the sake of the power it promised.
As the potion coursed through his body, his form began to emit a radiant glow, and he could feel the influx of mana filling his being. This was the potion's effect, and it left him in awe. It was unlike any other mana potion he had ever encountered. The potency was evident in the deep blue color and the sensation of mana coursing within him.
Han Ji Woo couldn't help but check his status to confirm the impact of the potion. As he uttered the command, "Open status," the information flooded his vision.

Ji Woo's astonishment grew as he observed the significant permanent increase in his mana capacity but he could also notice that the mana recharge time has also increased. His body felt lighter, and he knew he was now more capable than ever before.
Just as he was processing, another set of notifications appeared before him
[New skill learned: Mana Drain Lvl 1]
[New skill learned: Mana Sensitivity Lvl 1]
["Mana drain - Mana Drain is a powerful and coveted skill among hunters,Mana Drain enables the user to leech mana from other beings, temporarily depleting their magical energy reserves and use it for themself's ]
Ji Woo's mind was ablaze with possibilities as he pondered the incredible potential of the skills he had acquired. The realization that he possessed the Mana Drain skill, a rare and coveted ability among even S-rank hunters, left him both astonished and excited.
Sitting on the ground, he couldn't help but pinch his cheeks to make sure he wasn't in a dream. The sensation was real, and the skills were truly at his disposal.
"Mana Drain is a game-changer," Ji Woo thought to himself. "This versatile skill can turn the tide of any battle, giving me a significant advantage when facing magical opponents or formidable creatures that rely on mana-based abilities. It's rare even among S-rank hunters, and I learned it for free."
As he lay there on the ground, a surge of determination coursed through him. The possibilities were endless, and he felt like he had unlocked the key to unrivaled strength. With these newfound skills, he could aspire to become the strongest, surpassing even the apex hunters.
["Mana sensitivity - Mana Sensitivity is a unique skill , This skill enhances an individual's ability to perceive and manipulate mana, also helps them gauge some else's mana and aslo helps in detecting monsters and hunters"]
ji woo's insatiable greed for power and strength compelled him to venture deeper into the dungeon, regardless of the risks involved. As he delved further into the darkness, he soon came upon a chilling sight: a camp of goblins with a campfire burning brightly.
Upon closer inspection, the horrifying reality became evident. The lifeless bodies of hunters lay strewn about the camp, a grim testament to the goblins' deadly prowess. There were at least a dozen goblins gathered around, their vile presence overshadowing the gruesome scene, this opportunity to test his newfound skills and abilities against these formidable foes.
ji woo would surely take it anyday.
Han's excitement surged as he observed a goblin separating from the group and heading toward the nearby bushes. It was an opportunity too tempting to resist, like a predator closing in on its prey.
With a sly grin, he gripped the Ebonwind Dagger and steeled himself for the upcoming battle, In an instant, he activated his skills,Blink to close the distance rapidly. As he neared the goblin, he activated his unique ability, Shadowmeld, melding seamlessly with the surrounding shadows. Han was nearly invisible in the dim light of the dungeon, a specter of death ready to strike.
"bye ,bye goblin!"
"thud" , a single hit and the goblin could not even scream .
