As human's civilizations start to become more advanced, the Earth also starts to get polluted quicker until one day plants and other species mutated into monsters while dungeons started appearing everywhere in the world.
The noise of TV in the background
"Those hunter do be living the most luxurious life out there while I'm out here barely surviving" - Fei Ling thinks to himself
"HELP!!! THERE'S A DUNGEON BREAK"
The scream of people around the area becomes louder and louder, the scenes is full of chaos and there's monster everywhere
"F**K!! That's a black horn-wolf, how could I defeat an E-rank beast by myself"
Suddenly Fei Ling grabbed the sword of a hunter that was killed and charged in
"I cannot beat this thing even if I use all of my strength, I need to find a way quick before it uses berserker"
Panting heavily "I also died fighting this damn beast, I haven't had any food for the past week at this rate I'm gonna die from starvation"
Fei Ling took the sword out of the wolf's head and cut the wolf into pieces and throw it into the fire that broke out to cook it
"Pfft this taste like rotten flesh"

"I couldn't get my stats up even after years of training so I gave up on being a hunter but this skill changes everything"
"Time for me to head to a dungeon"
At the Red Dragon guild headquarters, Fei Ling wonders around
"Hey you over there, we're currently missing a member for our dungeon exploration do you want to tag along? We will share the loot equally" The voice was from a man in his thirties standing with 3 other people
"I'm just an E-rank hunter, are you sure you need me to be in your team?"
"Yes, we're going to a D-Rank dungeon so it shouldn't be too hard to handle. Even if something goes wrong our captain is a D-Rank hunter so we will be fine"
"Alright then let's head in"
Inside the D-Rank dungeon, Fei Ling is carrying the supply for the team while the team fights with the monsters
"We are finally at the boss room, Fei Ling you should be careful since this is a D-Rank boss"
"C-captain... I think something is wrong with this dungeon"
"Oh come on Xiao Hua, don't be scared-"
"CAPTAIN, EVERYONE RUN!!! This is a D-Rank monster"
Everyone was in a state of fear and despair
"No, if we run we will die. We must fight with all we've got, everyone get into formation"
"This boss is the giant human-face spider, it's weakness is in it's back that looks like a human face"
After fighting for a long time everyone was at their last breath, no one could move not even the C-Ranked captain. Everyone seem to have accepted their death but then Fei Ling took one of the spider's leg and stab it into its back making it weak
"EVERYONE NOW IS OUR CHANCE"
Everyone seems to realize it and fought with their last strength
In the end one person died, everyone was sadden by the lost of their comrade but also greatful to have survive
"Everyone let's go, this dungeon will close soon"
"Fei Ling, aren't you coming with us?"
"I will catch up soon, I have something to take care of first"

The corpse of the Giant human-face spider is sliced into pieces after Fei Ling used Iron thread
"This skill is strong, I finally have my own offensive skill, time to head back to meet the others"
"What took you so long?"
"Anyways here's the reward that we got from the dungeon"
"We got 500 Gold coins so we will each get 100 gold coin, the remaining 100 gold coin will be given to Xiao hua's family since that's the least we can do"
"Captain, here's another 50 gold coin I'll donate it to Xiao hua's family as well"
"Fei Ling are you sure? You were the reason we survived"
"It's alright, I got something that I wanted anyways. Goodbye I think it's time we part ways"
Everyone said their goodbye to Fei Ling and left
"Looks like I have enough power to solo lower ranked dungeons now, there's no need for me to join a party since it would bring unnecessary attentions"
A fire dragon flew over Fei Ling
"No way, is that a monster that broke out of a dungeon? This is bad no one could stop an S-rank beast"
Fei Ling senses the danger and followed the dragon as fast as he can, when he arrived at the scene the dragon was already defeat. He look up to see who the hunter was and he was shocked to see one of the five Sovereigns.
