The 1st Gates finally appeared which means magic power finally spreads on Earth. The spreading of magic power then causes a phenomenon that changes humans' lives forever, Awakening. With the spreading of magic power from the Gates, a lot of humans start to absorb it and awaken mysterious power.
[System Activated]
Jin Sung and Jin Woo are one of those 1st awakened individuals who have absorbed the magic power through Gates. But unlike the other awakeners that can't grow, they both can grow with the help of the system. It is activated when the magic power spreading from the Gates enters their body.
'Finally! Now I can start the plan to get stronger.'

'Holy shit! I get so many passive skills. All of these skills are so incredible. Each one holds significant importance. But only two active skill? I guess that's okay.'
Jin Woo also got similar skills and stats except the fact that he will get his job at level 50. Also the black heart and the real shadow army at level 100 and it will increase his HP and MP by 100000.
Both of them decided to reveal their power when they become a S-Class so that don't need to say that they reawakened when they get stronger because hunters can't get stronger once they awaken.
Jin Woo said that both of them can recieve active skills in mid battle and mid training. While Jin Sung will get them after completing each 10 level threshold and also that he will get a job after hitting level 200. This excites both of them, especially Jin Sung.
Both of them started making a plan about how to get stronger.
'Maybe now is a good chance to get us some XP while everyone is still confused by the gates.'
The government has dispatched the military and police to guard the Gates. They want to prevent civilians from getting closer while they try to understand what these Gates are.
However, unwakened people can't enter the Gates, so they won't get that much information.
'It will be really bad if a dungeon break occurs. It is a phenomenon which occurs when a gate isn't cleared within a week after it appeared. The monsters will come outside the gates and wreak havoc. Awakeners should have appeared, but they maybe confused because they recieved the their power so suddenly. Maybe they will only understand why they get their power when monsters pour out of the Gates, but many people will die first. I can't save everyone, but at least I'll clear all the dungeons nearby to help people and get myself some XP.'
Both of them plan to clear all the nearby dungeons as they can before before monsters come out of the Gates. But because of school, they can do it only at night. It is also to avoid getting caught by their family because clearing a dungeon takes a lot of time and they can get hurt. So it will be hard to hide during the day.
'If we clear them fast enough, we can go home quickly, to sleep and recover with longevity.'
While, Jin Woo's system could create instant dungeons and an in-built store, Jin Sung's system was solely based on making the player stronger without any of those features. He could only give the access of an instant dungeon Jin Sung, once he clears it himself.
So, Jin Woo decided to train in his first instant dungeon, Kasaka's lair. He went to Hapjeong station with the instant dungeon key.
Then just like that, Jin Sung went to the closest Gate to his house after his family falls asleep. The gate is 1 km from his house and it's located in an intersection, making the roads blocked. The police and military also guard this area to prevent civilians from approaching closer.
Jin Sung needs to avoid the police and military if he wants to enter the Gate. Luckily, it's easy for him to get near it because many humans have crowded there to see the gate. Humans indeed have curiosity to know about Gates while abandoning their own safety.
But because of the onlookers, Jin Sung can get closer to the Gate while blending in with the people. People only see him as a curious teenager and no one will say anything else unless he crossed the police line.
'Um? What?'
Suddenly, he notices something in the map created by his mapping skill. It is a passive skills, so it always active and updated as he moves. He can control map's position and size. So he didn't noticed it earlier because he made it small and put it in a corner of his sight.
Now he expands it and sees 3 small green dots and 1 biggger blue dot. He clicks on them in his mind and words appear on his mind. Surprisingly, the green dots are awakened people while the blue dot is the gate and all of them are ranked.
'A D-Rank and 2 E-Rank awakeners. As for the Gate, it's an E-Rank.
It doesn't look like the awakeners will try to enter the Gate. It looks like they are here just like the other people who are curious about it. Well, it doesn't matter as long as they don't bother him.
After checking his surroundings, Jin Sung activates his Stealth skill and enters the dungeon without anyone noticing him. He also kept his Stealth skill activated even after he enters the dungeon.
"Woah! This is amazing."
This dungeon is simply just a cave, but the atmosphere is very different from a normal cave. There are torches planted on the walls to illuminate the dungeon. Jin Sung tried to take off a torch from the wall and it came of easily. But no matter how much he tried, the fire won't go off at all.
"This fire must be made up of magic. So, there is no smoke and smell coming from it."
He tries to store the torch in his inventory. Also, when he takes it out, the fire still goes on. That means he could store them and take them out whenever he want.
"Hmm. I guess I'll store a few torches in case I find a dungeon in the future without any illumination."
He moves deeper into the dungeon while keep looking at his the map created by his Mapping skill. This skill can detect every magic sources like monsters, Gates and awakeners. So, now he started using it to find monsters in this dungeon.
