Chapter 1 - The Day the World Turned Red

The sky turned crimson at exactly 3:17 PM.

 

Inside a small internet café in Seoul, dozens of gamers suddenly watched their monitors go black.

 

Then white letters appeared.

 

[System Initialization Complete]

[Planet: Earth Registered]

[Survival Tutorial Begins in 10 Minutes]

 

"What kind of prank is this?" someone laughed.

 

Another man shouted from the corner.

 

"Is this some new game launch?"

 

But one person in the room wasn't laughing.

 

Kim Min-Jae slowly stood up from his chair.

 

His hands were shaking.

 

Because he had seen this message before.

 

Not on a screen.

 

In a memory.

 

Or rather…

 

the future.

 

Six months from now, monsters would appear across the world.

 

Cities would fall.

 

Millions would die.

 

And Kim Min-Jae would die with them.

 

Torn apart inside a subway station while trying to escape.

 

Yet somehow…

 

he was here again.

 

Back on Day One.

 

Back before the apocalypse began.

 

The system window changed.

 

[Choose Your Starting Talent]

 

Sword Talent – B Rank Agility Boost – B Rank Magic Affinity – B Rank

 

People around him began clicking randomly.

 

Min-Jae stared at the options.

 

These were beginner talents.

 

Weak.

 

In his previous life, he had chosen Agility Boost.

 

It hadn't saved him.

 

But then something strange happened.

 

A new option appeared.

 

One that should not exist.

 

Hidden Class – ???

 

Min-Jae's eyes narrowed.

 

This option had never appeared before.

 

His heart began to pound.

 

If this was real…

 

the future could change.

 

Slowly, he reached toward the screen.

 

[WARNING: Hidden Classes Carry Extreme Risk]

[Continue?]

 

Min-Jae smiled faintly.

 

"I already died once."

 

His finger pressed the button.

 

[Hidden Class Selected]

[Class Unlocked: System Breaker]

 

Somewhere beyond the sky…

 

something ancient opened its eyes.
