On a planet, the size of a gas planet covered by storm clouds in a lonely house sitting in the center of a small city sat a young man about to turn eighteen watching a clock with his ice-blue eyes.
"Just a few more seconds..." He muttered
As soon as he said those words he felt a pain on the back of his right hand along with a blue gate appearing in front of his eyes.
Looking at the back of his hand the boy saw a small black circle and smiled. "The war-rune manifested."
Looking away from the black circle he took a deep breath and stepped into the blue gate and was swallowed by blue light.
The boy found himself floating in an empty space surrounded by specks of stars seemingly in the distance with words flashing before his eyes.

End soon felt his body go weightless for a few seconds before he found himself lying on the ground of a cave surrounded by glowing blue stones.
End stood up pushing back his black hair from his eyes as he looked around the cave. He soon pulled out a small metal knife from his boots shortly before stabbing a small crab hiding behind one of the glowing blue stones, and new runes appeared before his eyes.

[Echo obtained]
[War Rune refined]
End smiled at the feeling of a new energy entering the circle on the back of his hand.
"To think I was lucky enough to obtain an Echo first try..." He muttered to himself as he opened the Echos information
Echo: [Dungeon Shell]
Type: [Glyph]
[Tierless]
Beast: [Dungeon Crab]
Seeing the information End's eyebrows rose. "A glyph type echo? That's not common... Let's see what it can do."
When the Echo was summoned, a transparent version of the crab he just killed appeared in front of him and merged with his body, and along with it a tattoo of a crab appeared on his chest.
With his experience in testing his body limits on his home planet End was quickly able to tell that the Echo increased his physical defense, effectively making his skin as hard as metal.
End wanted to test his defense using his knife, but he was afraid he might accidentally break the only weapon he had on him.
Quickly looking around End could see a couple more crabs hiding throughout the cave and smiled maniacally as he walked towards them.

End ended up hunting more than twenty crabs in the cave, but unluckily he didn't manage to obtain any more Echos from them, but the energy obtained from them did start refining his War Rune.
Feeling the energy refining inside his body slowly bringing him to the First Tier, he smiled as he went around the cave stuffing the dead crabs in a bag.
'I've found enough food to last for a while, now I need to find a good place to start a shelter, but since this area is underground I might have to made it out of rocks...'
After exploring the dungeon for an hour, End had come across a dozen more dungeon crabs which he swiftly killed and bagged, but he had yet to find a place to properly build a shelter... until now.
End stood facing a... forest in the middle of the cave, but the forest wasn't normal. The trees were blood red and they were growing down from the ceiling leaving the tips of the trees hovering above the ground.
'If I could build a shelter at the base of the trees...' End thought before noticing a problem. There was a beast below the trees.
From the first look it could be mistaken as a normal wolf, but after taking second look at it End noticed that it had blood red fur and a black horn curving out of its head.
'If I don't kill it, I won't be able to make the shelter.' End thought
End swiftly got ready, scanning the beast to determine the dangers.
'It's probably a Tier-1 beast... this might be painful." End laughed inwardly before rushing towards the beast with a knife in hand.
The Hunt had begun
