Survivor In The Systemic Dungeons

Five years after dungeons appeared on modern Earth, survival has become an industry. Guilds control access. Governments manage statistics. Casualties are accepted as necessary losses. Those without power are not heroes in waiting—they are resources to be consumed. Han Seo-jun is one of them. A disposable guild member with no lineage, no backing, and no future, he awakens injured inside a dungeon with no memory of how he got there. The System activates for the first time, cold and indifferent, measuring him not as a person but as data. There is no blessing. No guidance. Only evaluation. When betrayal comes, it is not emotional—it is procedural. Left for dead and officially erased, Seo-jun survives beneath the dungeon’s notice, where records do not reach and mercy does not exist. Power, when it arrives, is unstable and costly. Each step forward damages his body, fractures his mind, and draws the System’s attention. Mental stability becomes as fragile as flesh. Fear replaces loyalty. Control replaces hope. This is not a story of justice or heroism. It is the story of a man who learns how systems rot from the inside—and decides not to escape them, but to climb high enough to decide who gets crushed next. In a world where survival is regulated and death is normalized, Han Seo-jun does not seek to be chosen. He seeks to remain. And eventually, to control what is allowed to remain with him.
