Chapter Three: System's Mission I
I was in a hospital, systems beeping everywhere, drip connected to my hand.
Something was strange, my whole injuries were healed, no signs were there. Even my legs were back.
"Was that all a dream? No no, if it was a dream, I wouldn't be in a hospital, what exactly was happening?,"
My mind was filled up with questions, questions I couldn't answer.
My confusion was then interrupted by the presence of a young girl. It was Hye Ri, my sister.
"Oppa (brother), you are up already? What happened to you? What were you doing at the subway?" she asked hoping for an answer
"Subway? Oh, subway, yeah I went for a dungeon raid with my class. It was a nightmare, I still don't understand how I'm alive but, it's good to be back," I replied happy to be back. Alive.
"You need to be careful Oppa, I don't want to lose you too, you do know it's only the both of us left now?" she muttered in a sad tone.
"I promise, I'll be careful be careful, I promise," I assured her.
"Rest now okay?" she muttered hugging me.
She went out of the ward and a nurse came in, checking my vitals.
"You are fine all of a sudden? Your vitals were really low, you were dying, how did you get well so fast?" the nurse asked eyes fixed on me.
"Trust me, I'm just as confused as you are,"

"Can you see this?" I asked hoping she would see it too
"Huhn?" she exclaimed
"Nevermind,"
She left the ward leaving me to the red holographic system in front of me.

"What? Wait no—,"
*FWOOSH*
Before I could speak, I was transported to a different location.
It was an open field, wide and empty like a desert but with grass.
*RUMBLE, RUMBLE, RUMBLE*
"What is this place? And what is that sound?" I asked myself
I turned just to be surprised by the sight of what I saw.
Large bulls with big horns, horns that were long and pointed. Massive muscles and hooves that could kill on one stump.
"What the heck?" I yelled running as fast as I could.
They made it up to me and my but was just inches away from being stabbed.
I had no other option but to run and run. It's not like I had any other option.
I ran left, right, in every direction possible but those bulls kept following me, with those mighty muscles, hooves and massive body that shook the ground as I ran. This made running difficult, I wished it would end and fast. Just then did the system pop up in front of me.

I was transported back to my normal world, I fell flat on the floor.
"This system will be the death of me,"

"So, if I want to level up and become stronger, I have to level up. And in order to level up, I'll have to complete quests and dungeons, cool," I uttered with a smirk on my face.
I didn't waist time at all, I started exercising, from push ups to pull ups, squats came next and then the rest.
It remained the jogging.
"Damn, I look good," I said in a cool tone.
Just as I was about to head out, my sister came in, shocked to see how tall I had grown.
"Oppa? Is that you? You've grown so much, did I take too long at the receptionist position? You've even gotten eight packs, you were just a flat tum tum guy. You're even in shape,"
"Yeah, I've just been exercising, alot,"
"Since when did you start exercising?" asked my curious sister.
"Since I became a Hunter, I'll be off for a while," I replied
"Where are you going? You need some rest," she protested
"No thank you, I'm off to jog a little, I'll see you at home. You've got things over here covered right?"
"Uh, y-y-yes," she stammered.
I left her in the room to murmur to herself.
"Oh my goodness, he's even taller than before, and let's not talk about those eight abs, damn he's cool,"
I went through the hall and headed downstairs.
All the nurses looked at me in shock. One of them even came up to me.
"Hello sir," she said bowing to me holding her phone up towards my face.
"It would be a good pleasure if you gave me your number," she asked politely, eyes closed hoping to be accepted.
"Why?" I asked
Her eyes widened at the question I asked. She stood upright while the other nurse's watched from a room which obviously didn't hide them. If they were to be hiding, they would be doing a bad job.
"B-b-because, you are so hot sir, please give me your number," she asked again holding the phone towards my face.
"Okay," I muttered giving her my number.
I gave it to her and she immediately ran to her other nurse friends who screamed in joy.
A smirk formed on my face as I looked at them walking away to complete my daily quest and hopefully my first solo dungeon raid.
I made my way to the front garden where I stretched a little before jogging into the woods.

"Finally, at least, I won't be transported to that place again," I muttered to myself exhausted
"Huhn?"
The system appeared again prompting me to choose my first mission.
—
[SYSTEM ALERT]

Attention: each dungeon comes with it's own threat.
Be careful and don't die
—
"Be careful? Don't die?," I said smirking a little.
"Alright system, I'll be careful. I just need to choose one. Mmmnnn, okay. I choose the first one,"
[SYSTEM ALERT]
Evil Subway chosen
Congratulations
Opening dungeon now
—
The system turned I to a door like passage way, I walked into it and it shut me in.
"I guess I must finish this dungeon in order to get out of here. No wonder it told me to be careful and not to die," I murmured to myself a little.
"Okay, let's get this over with,"
I walked straight down the subway, it was quiet and dark a little.
I heard footsteps, obviously not humane.
"Who's there? Come on out," I said.
Then came out a wolverine, it's height was at about 8ft, it had muscles like that of the bulls in the punishment dungeon. Sharp claws that could cut just by looking at them. It's head was pure iron. It's eyes, red and firery red smoke came out of it's mouth that had long fangs in them.
"Shoot, I didn't bring any weapon, what do I do now," I asked myself.
But just when I thought all hope was lost, the system appeared again.

[SYSTEM ALERT]
Spiky dagger
Summon at will
—
"Now we're talking," I uttered drawing out the dagger from the system.
"Woah,"
It was a steel dagger, almost an arm's length. The edges were skipy and sharp, one could tell by just looking at it that it was carved for murderous intentions and I loved it.
"Let's do this," I said getting ready for battle.
