The cavern shook as the last Feral Fang Beast slammed into the wall.
Kael slowly lowered his fist.
Dust drifted through the air.
The other hunters stared at him.
The spear fighter spoke first.
"…What rank did you say you were?"
Kael scratched the back of his head.
"F Rank."
Silence filled the tunnel.
The fire elemental laughed nervously.
"That's impossible."
"F Rank hunters can't do that."
The telepath narrowed his eyes.
"No… his bloodline just awakened."
Everyone turned toward Kael again.
A newly awakened berserker defeating monsters this easily was rare.
But Kael wasn't finished.
Because the system appeared again.

The spear fighter whistled.
"Alright, rookie."
"You're officially useful."
The fire elemental raised his torch.
"Let's move deeper."
Deeper Inside the Dungeon
The party advanced further into the cavern.
The tunnels grew darker.
And colder.
The telepath stopped suddenly.
"Wait."
Everyone froze.
"I feel something…"
"Something big."
The arcanist frowned.
"That shouldn't be possible."
"This is only a Bronze dungeon."
Suddenly—
A deep roar echoed through the cave.
The ground trembled.
Kael's system flashed red.
WARNING
Powerful monster detected.
A massive creature emerged from the darkness.
It was three times larger than the previous beasts.
Black armor-like fur.
Massive claws.
Glowing crimson eyes.
The spear fighter whispered in horror.
"No way…"
"That's not a normal monster."
The arcanist shouted.
"It's a dungeon boss!"
Alpha Fang Tyrant
Bronze dungeons rarely had bosses.
But sometimes…
A dungeon mutated.
When that happened, the boss was far stronger than normal monsters.
The fire elemental stepped back.
"We need to retreat!"
The monster roared.
Then charged.
Too fast.
Its claw slashed across the spear fighter's armor, sending him crashing into the wall.
The telepath launched a psychic blast.
It barely slowed the creature.
The arcanist fired a rune spell.
The boss smashed through it.
Panic spread instantly.
"We can't beat this!"
The hunters began retreating.
But Kael didn't move.
Instead—
His system appeared again.

Kael's heart pounded.
His muscles burned with excitement.
"So that's the boss…"
The monster charged toward him.
The telepath shouted.
"Kid! Run!"
Kael clenched his fists.
"No."
The system flashed again.

🔥 Berserker Rage
Kael activated it instantly.
A violent surge of power exploded through his body.
His muscles expanded.
Veins glowed with crimson energy.
Strength flooded every part of his body.
The monster's claws came down—
Kael blocked the attack.
BOOM.
The ground cracked beneath his feet.
The hunters stared in disbelief.
"He stopped it…"
"With one arm?"
Kael pushed forward.
The beast stumbled backward.
He grinned.
"Now this is a real fight."
The Alpha Fang Tyrant roared again.
And attacked with full force.
Claws.
Teeth.
Brute strength.
But Kael didn't retreat.
He punched.
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
Each strike cracked the monster's armor-like fur.
The beast slammed him into a rock wall.
Blood ran down his face.
The system flashed again.
Passive Ability Activated
Blood Conversion
Damage increases attack power.
Kael laughed.
"You're making me stronger."
He launched forward again.
His fist struck the monster's skull.
CRACK.
The beast staggered.
One more punch.
BOOM.
The cavern shook.
The Alpha Fang Tyrant collapsed to the ground.
Dead.
For a moment…
The entire cave went silent.
Then the system erupted with notifications.

The other hunters stared at Kael like he was a monster.
The spear fighter slowly stood up.
"…You just killed a dungeon boss."
The telepath whispered.
"At F Rank."
The fire elemental shook his head.
"Kid…"
"You're going to become terrifying."
But Kael barely heard them.
Because the system displayed one final message.
Hidden Dungeon Chamber Detected
Kael's eyes widened.
"A hidden chamber?"
The arcanist frowned.
"That shouldn't exist in a Bronze dungeon."
But the wall behind the dead boss suddenly cracked open.
Revealing a dark staircase descending deeper underground.
Something ancient waited below.
Something far older than the dungeon itself.
And Kael had just unlocked it.
