IN THE HOSPITAL WARD
"What do you mean you have work to do?",min Soo his sister asked.
"She didn't question about the system, she must have not seen it, word. Why an I the only one seeing it?",he soliloquized.
"Min Ho"
"What?"
"I think you should rest, when you rest, you will be more alright, I'll rest too".,she said tucking him in properly.

Min Ho ignored it and went to sleep
"Tommorow I'll do it".
The Next Day
He woke up in an unfamiliar land, a forest engulfed with darkness. Smells of dead beings and tall trees that looked like they were attached to the sky.
"What?---what place is this?".
HOOOOOOOWWWWWL!
Sounds of wolves came closer, closer, closer to the extent that he could feel it behind him. He looked back in fear and found a big 7ft wolf with iron head big as an elephant's, Razer sharp claws that could cut just by looking at them and body builded for destruction.
Min Ho ran as fast as he could while the timer was counting.
"00:09:59"
Min Ho holding on to his life like it was an egg ran faster than he could even imagine he could, but he was still too slow for the wolf. He was struck on the back as the system's time ticked again
"00:01:01"
Then came other wolves surrounding him, he tried to forge a metal but there was no metal around for him to use and he wasn't experienced enough to locate raw materials in the ground and use for attack. As one of the wolves lauched itself, the system's time ticked again:
"00:00:00"
"Punishment complete"
He opened his eyes in the same ward but this time, his sister wasn't there.

"I guess I'm stuck with this system, I might as well do the assignment".
He started with push ups, then squats, then pull ups, his clothes wreaked of sweat and his body ached with pain but he didn't give up, he then proceeded to crunches. When his sister came in, he was looking totally different that his sister almost didn't recognize him, he was totally ripped, Eight and, muscular body shape, fit and even taller now.
"Oppa,....you....are different, you look different, are you not I'll?",she asked suspiciously.
"No, I think I'm better, I'll be back".,he said jogging outside.
"But where are you.....,before she could speak, he was already gone.
The nurse's and doctors looked at him in surprise of how he is perfectly well. He was seen jogging round the hospital multiple times.
Then he stopped for a moment.....he bent down...eyes closed, people watched him with confusion.
"What's he doing", a nurse peeking from the hospital window asked.
Min Soo caught him outside heads down, on the floor and thought he was in trouble.
"Min Ho O...". But before she could speak, he sprinted off into the forest near the city, not stopping for moment.
EVENING
It was evening and Min Soo had given up waiting for him, she went home hoping he would return.

He smirked at the system, then A magic card appeared showing the hall he was about to enter and a card insertion hole popped up. He put it in and the hole expanded into a door hole.
"What is this place".
--------------------------------------------------------
SYSTEM ALERT
Dagger of Aurora

--------------------------------------------------------
He stretched his hands into the system slowly and in fear and he felt something, he brought it, he was holding a Crimson Dagger whose blades looked like it was forged with lava, curvy and spiky edges pointing backwards from the blade's edge.
He looked up and saw six eyes in the shadow, he stepped back a little and then stood his ground. The creature came out slowly, six arms, six eyes and four legs, head made of iron, sharp claws and a long tail.
The beast lunged at him but he dodged it.
"Did I just dodge him?",he asked himself in surprise.
"I feel a like I'm faster."
The beast lunged again and this time, Min Ho blocked with his 15 inched dagger as the beast was about to use his other hands, he gave it a big blow that dented it's head and sent it crashing to the ground.
"I'm stronger",he said moving back.
The last rose up with a weak growl.
It lunged again but he dodged again this time with an Effective backflip landing well on his feet.
"I've even become flexible, I guess this system isn't trying to kill me after all. I'm gonna use it's help effective and become the strongest and all evil will bow to my feet. And my mom will be healed at last.",he said holding a fighting stance ready to strike at the beast's slightest movement.
The beast tried to attack again it met the cruelty of death; min ho gracefully sliced it by the side mid air.
He thought it was over
"Finally"
But it wasn't, six more of the same beast came out each attacking with different tactics and speed, but it was anything much to stop him, he became angrier, releasing his dagger which dissapeared into thin air as he released it, and started with pinches, kicks and smashes.
It remained the last beast, and the beast seemed to be faster and stronger than the others.
The beast lunged at him but he stood there silently, summoned his dagger and struck it in the iron head straight into the ground.

"My state have increased but it's not enough, I have to level up more."
He went further and made it into a new room, it was dark at first but it got brighter.
"This must be the boss's room."
As he closer he was given a cold welcome by the boss, a Leviathan Komodo dragon standing at an astonishing height of around 10-12 feet, 3-4 meters tall at the shoulder, with a massive body stretching over 20-25 feet (6-7.6 meters) in length. Its scales glisten like dark, molten lava, and its eyes burn with an intense, primal ferocity. The dragon's roar was defeating, striking fear into the heart of min ho, but he didn't fear, even when he saw its massive jaws capable of exerting a bone-crushing bite force, and its razor-sharp claws which was sharp enough to rip flesh and crush bone with ease. The Leviathan Komodo dragon is a behemoth, a creature of legend that commands death and inspires fear. The Leviathan Komodo dragon's piercing gaze locked onto him. The air was electric with tension. The dragon's roar thundered through the room, causing the ground to tremble beneath Kim Min Ho's feet.
"You dare to challenge me?" the dragon's voice boomed, its words echoing off the walls. "I will crush you like the insignificant insect that you are!"
Kim Min Ho stood tall, his determination burning brighter than ever.
"I won't back down. I've come too far to turn back now. I will end you!"
The dragon sneered, its lips curling up in a snarl. "Foolish mortal. You think you can defeat me? I am a creature of legend, a monster beyond your wildest imagina.....!"
Before he could speak finish, min ho had cut his skin but it was a shallow cut
"You talk too much".
"How dare you mortal?".
With a swift motion, the dragon charged towards Kim Min Ho, its massive jaws wide open, ready to deliver a bone-crushing bite. Kim Min Ho dodged to the side, avoiding the dragon's attack by mere inches.
Kim Min Ho seized the opportunity to strike. He summoned all his strength to launch a big hit to the dragon.
The dragon roared in response, swiping its razor-sharp claws through the air, launching min ho to the wall, he started to bleed on his head but he stood tall. The battle had begun, and only one could emerge victorious.
The dragon's claws swiped through the air, missing Kim Min Ho by a hair's breadth. As the dragon recoiled, Kim Min Ho launched a flurry of swift punches and kicks, each strike imbued with his Alchemic energy.
The dragon roared in response, its scales glowing with a fierce, inner light. It retaliated with a blast of flames that would incinerate any ordinary opponent. Kim Min Ho leaped to the side, avoiding the flames by mere inches.
As the dragon recovered from its attack, Kim Min Ho seized the opportunity to strike. He summoned a burst of speed and agility, closing the distance between himself and the dragon in an instant. With a swift motion, he summoned his dagger and landed a hit that cracked the dragon's scales a little.
"What",he asked in surprise.
"A tough skin?, Why does this world hate me so much?".
The dragon roared as the dagger hits his scaly body. Kim Min Ho quickly retreated, avoiding the dragon's retaliatory tail swipe. The battle raged on, with neither side giving an inch.
As the battle raged on, Kim Min Ho found himself on the defensive, struggling to keep up with the dragon's relentless attacks. The dragon's claws and teeth tore into his flesh, leaving him battered and bruised. Kim Min Ho stumbled backward, his vision blurring, he fell.
Suddenly, flashes of his childhood memories flooded his mind. He saw his mother laughing and playing with him and his sister in the park. He saw her smiling and hugging him tight telling him:
"No matter what, whether an Alchemist or not, you must be strong fr those you love"
The memories were vivid and warm, but they were quickly replaced by the harsh reality of his mother's hospital bed.
Kim Min Ho's eyes snapped back into focus, and he saw his mother lying in the hospital bed, her frail body hooked up to machines. The sight ignited a fire within him. He gritted his teeth, and a fierce determination burned in his eyes, he stood up with red black ish eyes.
With a newfound strength, Kim Min Ho launched himself at the dragon, stabbing it repeatedly with his dagger, but this time, landing a critical damage that broke it's scale bit by bit. The dragon roared in pain as Kim Min Ho's attacks landed with precision and force.
--------------------------------------------------------
SYSTEM ALERT
New Skill Acquired: Shockwave Blast
--------------------------------------------------------
The dragon, enraged and wounded, charged towards Kim Min Ho with its massive body. But Kim Min Ho stood firm, his eyes blazing with fury. He stretched out his hand and yelled, unleashing the Redish Shockwave Blast.
A massive wave of energy shot out from Kim Min Ho's hand, striking the dragon with incredible force. The dragon's body was torn apart, its massive form severed halfway down its length. The dragon stumbled, its eyes wide with shock and pain.
As the dragon attempted to flee, Kim Min Ho leaped into the air, his dagger flashing in the dim light. With a series of swift and deadly strikes, he plunged the dagger into the dragon's back, again and again. The dragon's body jerked and convulsed, its strength fading with each passing moment.
Finally, the dragon's body slumped to the ground, defeated. Kim Min Ho stood over it, his chest heaving with exhaustion and his eyes still blazing with fury. The beast was dead, and Kim Min Ho had emerged victorious.

"Yes".
The new items appeared on him and turned invincible.
"So this is how being strong feels like.
Well I'll have to get used to it because,...I'm not done yet."
The dungeon dissapeared leaving him in the subway halls.
He walked home and was met with his sister worried to death.
"Oppa, where have you been?, You just ran at top speed and you were more where to be found."
"Well I had some urgent exercises to take care of".
"Exercises".,she asked confused.
But he didn't reply, he just walked up to his room to take a nap.
"Ugh, I can never understand that boy, now he has even changed from before.",she said sitting on the couch.
"I have to grow stronger, to protect my sister and most importantly...to heal mom.",min ho said on his bed head faced up.
