Zero stood at the entrance of the F-Class Dungeon, eyes narrowing as he looked down at the dark tunnel leading into the depths. His senses tingled, the familiar anticipation of battle creeping up his spine. It was early morning, and the dungeon right next to his apartment had been left untouched for far too long. The system had just issued him a mission to clear it within the time limit.
---
[Mission Assigned: Clear F-Class Dungeon]
[Time Limit: 2 Hours]
[Rewards: Unlock Subspace Storage, Class Awakening]
---
He felt the usual mix of excitement and pressure. A standard dungeon crawl would be no trouble for him anymore, but this mission was different. The stakes felt higher, though he wasn't sure why. He stepped forward with steady confidence.
His body, improved by the system's constant rewards, felt stronger and more agile than ever. It wasn't just his strength—his mind, too, was sharper, faster. He was a different person from the weak civilian who had first transmigrated here.
Zero entered the dungeon.
---
The dimly lit cave seemed to stretch infinitely, the walls jagged and uneven. The air was stale, heavy with the scent of damp stone and sulfur. As he walked deeper into the dungeon, the shadows seemed to shift, and the distant sound of skittering claws reached his ears.
Zero's heart rate quickened, but it wasn't from fear. The adrenaline coursed through his veins, and he was ready for whatever would come. He had no idea what the dungeon would throw at him, but one thing was certain: he wasn't going to fail.
The monsters started appearing, their eyes glowing in the dark. The first to attack was a Cave Fang, its claws slashing through the air as it lunged at Zero. He didn't flinch. With a swift motion, he sidestepped and grabbed the creature's throat, his fist driving into its skull with a satisfying crack.

[Monster Defeated: Cave Fang]
[EXP Gained: 150]
[Remaining Monsters: 5]

Zero glanced at the system prompt. The dungeon was almost halfway cleared, and the timer hadn't even ticked past five minutes. He was moving fast, almost too fast. It was like his body was on autopilot, reacting before he even thought about it. His stats were through the roof, and his experience from countless missions was now paying off.
The next group of monsters—a swarm of Cave Spiders—crawled down the walls, their fangs dripping with venom. They weren't much of a threat, not with his current stats. He dodged their strikes and dispatched them one by one, using quick jabs and kicks to break through their brittle exoskeletons.

[Monster Defeated: Cave Spider]
[EXP Gained: 200]
[Remaining Monsters: 3]

The battle was over before the monsters even realized they were in trouble. Zero didn't need to wait long before the final boss appeared: a Lava Dragon, its fiery body flickering with molten heat. The air around it shimmered with intense heat as it hissed, its sharp claws scraping against the stone floor.
---
[Dungeon Boss: Lava Dragon]
[Warning: High-Level Threat]
---
Zero didn't hesitate. His Strength, Agility, and Stamina were on another level now. He rushed forward, avoiding the dragon's fiery breath with ease. The dragon reared back, preparing for another attack, but Zero was already on top of it.
He launched himself into the air, twisting his body mid-flight and landing a clean punch to the side of the dragon's head. The impact sent a shockwave through the cavern. The dragon staggered back, disoriented but still alive.
Zero didn't give it a chance to recover. He moved again, landing blow after blow with speed and precision. His attacks were too fast for the dragon to respond to. Finally, with a well-placed strike to its heart, the dragon let out a dying roar and collapsed into a heap of molten rock.
--
The dungeon was cleared, and the timer on the system still read just over 15 minutes. Zero stood over the fallen Lava Dragon, panting lightly. The sense of accomplishment was immediate, though he knew it wasn't over. This was only the beginning.
He had cleared the dungeon faster than the system had expected. In fact, the mission was meant to take two hours, but Zero had destroyed everything in under 20 minutes. His newfound strength had made him a force to be reckoned with.
---
[Mission Complete: Clear F-Class Dungeon]
[Rewards: Subspace Storage, Class Awakening]
---
As the system granted him his rewards, Zero felt the power coursing through him. His Class Awakening had been activated, and he could feel his body adapting to its new potential.
But now, with the dungeon cleared and his power growing, he knew the challenges ahead would be even more difficult. There were other dungeons, stronger enemies, and greater mysteries to uncover.
For now, though, he allowed himself a moment to reflect. He had done it. In a world where everyone was obsessed with power and status, he had proven that even a seemingly ordinary person could rise above.
And this was only the beginning.
---
Zero stood victorious over the Lava Dragon, his chest heaving with exhilaration. The battle had been intense, but the creature was now nothing more than a smoldering pile of ash and scorched earth. The system's voice buzzed in his mind, signaling the completion of the dungeon.

Zero paused, his heartbeat quickening. Class Awakening? He had heard Kara, his S-Class Hunter girlfriend, mention it before, but he never imagined it would be his turn. He had always been just a regular person, someone who lived off of her achievements. But now, it was time for him to awaken his own class.
A new prompt appeared, and he readied himself for the momentous choice.
---

Zero stared at the screen, his mind racing. Each of these classes was nothing short of legendary. He had no idea which one to pick—each offered incredible powers. He had never considered himself a fighter. But as he hovered his finger over the options, something strange happened.
Before he could choose, the system's voice cut in—this time with a garbled, glitching sound.
---

Zero blinked, his heart racing. The system had glitched. Instead of giving him a single class, it had combined all the options into one—a super-powerful, mythical class. He read the new notification with wide eyes.

Zero clenched his fists, feeling the raw energy flowing through him. His body hummed with newfound power. His senses were sharper, his mind clearer, and his strength overwhelming. With a single thought, he summoned his Void Blade—an ethereal, glowing weapon that sliced through the air effortlessly. He felt the elements respond to his will, the earth beneath his feet trembling as his powers began to awaken.
As his mind raced with the implications of what had just happened, the system chimed once more.

He smiled, realizing just how much potential he now had. Not only did he possess an arsenal of devastating abilities, but he also had a subspace to store whatever he needed—making him an even greater force than before. There was no way he was going to stay in the shadows now.
With his new powers and abilities, Zero was no longer the weak civilian he once was. He was something far more dangerous—an EX Class Mythical Player. The world would soon know him as more than just Kara's boyfriend.
