In the dungeon...
"So, this is an F-rank dungeon. It's been years since I set foot in such a low-level place... But what choice do I have? I'm starting over as a newbie again. Still, clearing this should be a piece of cake, thanks to my past life's experience.
This dungeon only has low-level skeleton monsters. They're as strong as weak goblins, but the key difference is that goblins work in groups, which makes them dangerous—even to higher-rankers. Skeletons, on the other hand, are loners. They don't work together, so dealing with them is far easier.
Sigh. I have to grind through these weak skeletons again to level up..."
2 Hours And49 minutes later...
"Level up! Congratulations, you've leveled up to 6.
Phew... It's tough killing them without a profession. Even though they're weak skeletons, it still takes effort, and they barely give any experience. Grinding here is such a pain...
Back in my past life, it was so much easier. I had friends with me—they helped me grind efficiently. But now... things are different. I have to do it all alone
I need to rest for a while
51 minutes later...
Run run.. Everyone run,run! The doungoun suddenly ranked up from F to D, and now there are higher ranking monsters everywhere!
Suddenly,. Lan tian woke uo from his sleep, Strtled.
What?i fell asleep? I don't have time to waste- I need to kill more monsters!
As he prepared himself the man from registration office earlier came rushing towards him shouting " Hey you little punk! Run faster! It's dangerous here!
Before lan tian could process what was happening, A high level skeleton - Level 20 -appeared nowhere and launged at him
CLANG!
The man from registration office leaped forward and took the full brunt of the skeletons attack, Shielding lan tian.
Lan tian froze in shock as the mans arm was severed and and flew into the air.
"Wh..why? Why would you do this for me? You don't even know me! Why would you sacrifice your arm? " Lan tian stammered, trembling fear and confusion...
The man clutching his bleeding shoulder, picked lan tian up and hoisted him onto his right shoulder.
"This isn't about knowing you " The man
Said through gritted teeth, running as fast as he could "Saving people is a hunters responsibility"
Lan tian, overwhelmed by guilt and gratitude,could only hold on tightly as the man carried him to safety.
As Lan tian clung to the mans shoulder, Memories surged through his mind his purpose, his mission, his responsibility.
Why am i here?He thought. Why was i given a second chance?
And then, like a flesh, the amswer burned into his hearts.
If i can't do anything now,huminity will be wiped out there no one left to save them but me. I....I am the last hope of mankind
"STOP!"
Lan tian shouted suddenly
The man flattered, shocked."What?Why?Why would you want me to stop? "
"I said stop, please!" Lan tians voice was resolute, his eyes blazzing with determination.
The man skidded to a halt,confused before he could protest, Lan tian jumped off his shoulder and charged toward the monstrous skeleton with unbridled fury
"Kid, are you crazy? "The man yelled after him
Lan Tian's thoughts raced as he closed the distance between himself and the monster. If I can't kill a monster like this on my own, how can I call myself humanity's last hope? If I can't take this down, then I'm nothing. I have to kill it myself... I must!
The skeleton screeched, swinging its massive blade toward him. But Lan Tian didn't waver.
Otherwise, how can I ever call myself the greatest hero of all time?
With every ounce of courage and strength he could muster, Lan Tian prepared to face the monster head-on, his resolve unshakable.....
