With determination surging through him, Jimin moved cautiously deeper into the murky swamps of the Goblin Forest Dungeon. The ground squelched beneath his feet, a reminder that danger lurked in every shadow. After defeating the second wave of goblins, he could hardly contain his excitement. He felt as if he was on the brink of some epic anime adventure, ready to unlock special powers and make all the side characters swoon over his skills. However, he was acutely aware that the ultimate challenge awaited—the Goblin Commander.
"That last fight was intense!" he muttered, swiping sweat from his brow. "I can't rest now; I have to keep pushing forward!" He grinned, picturing himself as some legendary hero, raising an army of fans along the way.
As he rounded a bend, Jimin heard the telltale scuffling of what sounded like an impending goblin ambush, the type of cliché every hero faces. He pulled his Double Swords of Ice and Fire, energy crackling from the blades like a live wire as anticipation tingled through him.
"Okay, Latios, Latias, stand by!" he called, summoning his brilliant allies. A shimmer in the air signaled their arrival, radiating power and confidence. Nothing could quite compare to having your majestic pokemon-like buddies backing you up in a world full of goblins.
Suddenly, a wave of Goblin Soldiers crashed through the dense foliage, closely followed by some vicious Goblin Wolf Riders, a horde that sent a shiver down Jimin's spine. "Oh boy, it's a mob! Just when I thought it couldn't get crazier!" He held his swords tightly, his heart racing, but he was ready to face this madness.
Once again, he activated his System Probing Function, receiving critical intel about his foes, smirking to himself like a clever strategist.

"Looks like I've got my work cut out for me!" Jimin grinned, adrenaline pumping through his veins like a scene straight out of an action movie. "Let's show them what we're made of!"
With a dramatic flourish, he charged forward as Latios swooped in, unleashing a *Dragon Breath* attack that sent several goblins reeling. "That's right! Fly, my aerial buddy!"
"Latias! Heal me if you can; I'm going to need it!" he yelled. In a flurry of motion, he launched himself into the fray, his blades dancing through the air as if they were extensions of his own limbs.
"Think fast!" he shouted, dodging a Goblin Soldier's swing before countering with a clean slice. The satisfying crunch of bone and sinew sent a rush of exhilaration coursing through him.
As the battle raged on, the teamwork between Jimin, Latios, and Latias felt electric. Jimin would slice through enemies while Latios took to the sky, harassing them with well-placed attacks, and Latias was there as his personal cheerleader/medic, who made sure he stayed in fighting shape.
"Let's finish them quickly!" Jimin shouted as he unleashed a series of elemental strikes, the air around him erupting in vibrant colors. Each swing of his swords was a battle cry, a declaration of his intent—a proclamation that he was not just some rookie adventurer.

Meanwhile, in the other side, Rayan faced off against 'Goblin Soldiers' that shimmered like mirages, phasing in and out of reality. "I can't let myself get overwhelmed!" he shouted, his voice echoing against the tree trunk. He swung his sword, infusing it with magic as he launched an attack. "Take this, you wishy-washy Green Heads!"
With every strike, he felt the pulsing energy around him. "I won't let you haunt me!" His focus sharpened as he dodged a dagger.
"Now if I just—" He executed a magic-infused lunge, smacking down the glowing fiend. One down, two to go. "That's right! Fear me!" he declared, channeling all the drama of a hero in a climactic battle.

In stark contrast, Layla glided through the Shadows, a blur of motion as she evaded the lurking Goblins. "You think you can catch me?" she taunted, her laughter ringing clear through the realm of darkness. Each swipe of her daggers was like a whisper of death as she dispatched enemies with deadly precision. Her heart raced as she demonstrated her prowess as a Night Shadow Assassin. "No one can hide from me—I'm the darkness!"
Dodging behind walls and cracks, she rolled, leaped, and struck with finesse. Layla thrived on the thrill of it all, her playful energy contrasting beautifully with the ominous atmosphere surrounding her.

Meanwhile, in the depths of the Goblin Forest, **Ali** faced an overwhelming onslaught of goblins. Each swing from his blade reverberated against the clanging metal, but frustration bubbled beneath his bravado as he shouted, "I can do this!" His eyes glinted with determination, but still, each defeated enemy seemed to serve as a bitter reminder of Jimin's success.
"Why is it always him in the limelight?" Ali gritted his teeth, slicing down a goblin, but his heart wasn't in it. With each victory, he could hear the whispers of his peers rooting for Jimin, and the pit of envy grew deeper.
"Next time, it'll be my name they chant!" he seethed, each success drumming up a feeling of inadequacy. For him, this was less about the fight and more about earning respect.

Meanwhile, the students gathered to watch the live feeds, each face etched with excitement, jealousy, and awe.
"Did you see Jimin? He steamrolled through those goblins!" one student exclaimed, practically vibrating in his seat.
"He's really something," another chimed in, eyes wide. "But look at Rayan; he's holding his own against those Goblins. They're so difficult!"
"Layla's in a league of her own! She's dancing through those shadows!" someone else added, throwing their hands in the air.
"What's up with Ali though? He's struggling and being overtaken," someone commented, eyebrows raised.
"Honestly, I feel a bit sorry for him," came another voice. "His envy towards Jimin is so obvious. He needs to find his own path and stop comparing himself!"
"Right? You can't go comparing yourself to everyone."
"Give him a break, though. He'll figure it out!" They cheered on their friends, but the underlying currents of competition rippled through the air like static electricity.

Back to Jimin
As the last goblin fell, signaling the end of another wave, Jimin felt a sense of triumph swell in his chest. He had fended off more than a hundred enemies now, and the adrenaline rush was addictive. But the real test awaited around the corner.
His heartbeat quickened with excitement as he stood before the threshold of the Goblin Commander's lair. The air grew heavy, thick with tension. "This is where the fun begins," he murmured.
Feeling a sense of urgency, he decided to consult the Inter-Realm Summoning System before facing the commander. "Let's see what I can grab to help me," he muttered as he activated the panel.
A holographic display bloomed before him, revealing tantalizing opportunities.

As Jimin checked his progress, anticipation crackling in the air like electricity, his mind raced with thoughts of his Career Advancement Mission. Each option presented a formidable challenge, but one in particular piqued his interest.
*So many choices…* Jimin pondered, glancing at each option. Choosing the *Goblin Commander* would be an impressive feat, but the excitement of challenging the *Abyssal Vulcan Wolf*, a creature rumored to be among the fiercest in existence, tugged at his adventurous spirit.
*Level 15? That sounds wicked tough,* he thought, chewing his lip as he weighed the possibilities. *But if I manage to take down a boss that powerful, the rewards could be absolutely insane!*
Images filled his mind of the legendary gear, unique skills, and even more formidable allies he could gain. The *Abyssal Vulcan Wolf*—that was likely to yield resources and equipment of the highest tier! Not to mention, if he could pull it off, he would cement his reputation not just among his peers but in the annals of the summoner world.
*Imagine it—a hero rising out of the depths to conquer something that others deem impossible,* he fantasized, heart racing at the thought. *The stories they'd tell! The legends they'd make of me!*
After considering his options and mentally preparing himself, his confidence began to morph into a burning passion. *Why not aim for the stars?*
Jimin's determination ignited. *I can do this. I must do this.* Checklists of strategies raced through his mind. He was ready for this final showdown, standing on the cusp of greatness.
As he approached the final corner, he gasped. Before him loomed the Goblin Commander, a titan of a creature, wielding a massive hammer that looked like it could turn him into a pancake. The commander towered at three meters tall, glowering down at him, surrounded by a legion of goblin warriors that shifted in anticipation.
"Bring it on!" Jimin cried, the adrenaline pumping through his veins like a turbocharged engine. Each breath steadied him further. As the commander's wild eyes locked onto his, Jimin knew he was ready to claim his destiny.
With grit and a fierce pulse of self-belief dancing within his heart, the atmosphere pulsated with intensity. He squared his shoulders against the oncoming horde, refusing to back down.
*This is my moment! I won't fail. I will rise!*
with his summons Latios and Latias, ready for the showdown. Jimin charged forward into the heat of battle, a hero writing his own legend in the dark heart of the dungeon.
