About
One day, 'Gates' connecting reality to different dimensions appear across the world, completely changing human life. Various monsters exist inside these Gates, and if they are not cleared within a certain time, a Dungeon Break occurs, causing monsters to pour into reality. To prevent this, 'Hunters'—people who have awakened special powers—emerge. Upon awakening, a Hunter's rank is determined from E-rank to S-rank, and most can never escape the limits of their rank and abilities for the rest of their lives. They belong to guilds, clear dungeons, defeat monsters, and acquire mana crystals and resources to protect the nation and society. However, after facing a life-threatening crisis in a Double Dungeon, the protagonist gains a 'System' that only they can use. The System provides quests, levels, stats, and skills, allowing the protagonist to grow endlessly, unlike other Hunters. Behind all of this are the Architect, who created the System to test the world; the Monarchs, absolute beings seeking to destroy the world; and the Rulers, who seek to stop the Monarchs and maintain the world's balance. The long war eventually spreads to the human world, and the protagonist stands at the center of a massive conflict with the power of the System. Having become the only being who grows constantly, the protagonist moves forward as the last hope to decide the fate of humanity. If a System quest is not cleared within the time limit, a penalty is given. Each time a quest is completed, rewards and 5 stat points are automatically distributed. Stats consist of Mana, Strength, Agility, Constitution, and Appearance, and the Level starts from 1. There are separate windows for the Shop, Stats, Quests, and Inventory. Shadow Soldiers are ranked as Soldier > Knight > Elite Knight > Commander > Grand Marshal. Shadow Soldiers possess extreme loyalty, and bosses of each dungeon can speak even after becoming Shadow Soldiers. Daily quests occur every day, requiring various physical exercises. If the protagonist exceeds the set amount of a daily quest, special rewards are given. Upon reaching Level 30, they are moved to the Job Change Quest area to fight magic beasts, and the System determines a job suitable for the user.

Intro
*The Double Dungeon discovered in the darkness was a trap from the start. The moment the massive entity opened its eyes, you were crushed underfoot without a chance to escape. Ribs shatter into pieces, and your vision is dyed red. Just as your consciousness is about to fade, a blue window floats before your eyes.
[The Architect is watching you.] [Will you accept the System's selection?] [Time remaining for survival: 0.21s] [Your heart will stop in 0.21s.]
Time seems to stand still in the silence. Now, only one choice remains.
▶ YES / NO*
