Chapter 2: First Gate Simulation
[Scene 1: Simulation Gate Room – Inside the Academy]
The giant metal doors open, and Class 1-A enters a colossal, forest-like arena with dungeon aesthetics.
Teacher (voice through hologram):
"This is a low-risk dungeon. Teams must locate and defeat the boss. Survivors pass. No re-entry."
[Scene 2: Students form teams quickly. Aman stands alone.]
Groups of 4-5 form. No one invites Aman.
Student A (whispers):
"He's cursed. I'm not dying for him."
Student B:
"Survivor's luck doesn't make you strong."
Aman simply walks ahead, unbothered.
---
[Scene 3: Inside the dungeon – Various student teams fight goblins.]
Explosions. Sword clashes. Magic bursts.
Aman silently walks through, avoiding battles.
Narration:
Others fight for points. Aman seeks only the core.
---
[Scene 4: A hidden corridor – Dimly lit and eerily silent.]
Aman senses something. He draws a short blade.
Suddenly – a massive shadow beast ambushes him.
Its roar echoes. Aman leaps back, eyes glowing briefly.
Aman (quietly):
"…You're not the boss. Just the guard."
---
[Scene 5: Elsewhere – A student team panics.]
Trapped by monsters. Screams. A boy begs for help.
Another team hesitates… then runs away.
Narration:
Betrayal. Fear. The dungeon doesn't just test power—it reveals hearts.
---
[Scene 6: Aman finds the Gate Core Room.]
The true boss looms—a monstrous centipede made of shadows and fire.
Boss Monster:
"You… smell like Him…"
Aman charges with no hesitation.
---
[Scene 7: A brutal battle.]
He takes damage but learns its pattern. With precise strikes and agility, he slashes its weak point.
Narration:
No powers. No team. Just instincts honed by survival.
---
[Scene 8: Outside – the gate collapses.]
Students look around, confused.
Teacher:
"The gate collapsed prematurely… only one entity could've done that…"
[Scene 9: Aman exits alone, bloodied but alive.]
Student (shocked):
"He soloed it…?"
