His eyes caught the sight of brown dirt and slowly pushed himself into a seated position.
Ryan frowned heavily and got up. The room itself was poorly lit, but he could still see enough to determine that he wasn't anywhere familiar. The damp air felt heavy in his lungs, thickened by the scent of wet earth and dust that found its way inside his clothes poured out. He dusted the sand caked on his chest while taking a look around him.
Indeed, all he could see was a high stone wall.
This couldn’t be real.
Until a few moments ago, he was about to die in an E rank dungeon. But now, as soon as he opened his eyes, he was suddenly in another place?
It was an empty room, as if it was filled up with black ink and nothing else.
However, for some reason, he had no trouble seeing at all.
“Just what is this place?”
Was he dreaming?
Ryan closed and opened his eyes again, yet nothing had changed. Even now, something strange appeared in front of him.
Ryan's eyes quickly get widened
[Welcome inside the Tutorial dungeon]
"What? I'm inside…. a dungeon? What the hell is going on?"
But what Ryan was about to discover was going to drive him deeper into despair.
[In order to completely activate the system You must complete the dungeon.]
"Wait what?I have to complete it ?"
A cold sweat ran down Ryan's forehead.
It made him want to squat and bow, such was the superiority and out of this world feeling, no matter how powerful he was.
"Just what the fuck is going?" was all he could think of.
Sheer terror had filled Ryan. At first he thought he was dreaming, It's probably a dream, no, a nightmare. It must be one. Ryan slapped his face but nothing had changed.
He was not dreaming. But instead, something suddenly appeared in front of him that startled him.
It was really like a nightmare.

'Level 0?'
It was like looking at a status window of a game. It looks like this status window shows him his stats like a character in a game.
But something was strange to him.
"Level 0?" He says again.
Usually, in a game rpg, a player's beginner level was 1 but Ryan was 0.
"Am I that bad?"
Well, he who had no power and was useless at everything. It wasn't surprising that the "system" showed something like this.
His class was "None"! His health was 1,almost all of his stats were 1 except his intelligence. Well actually, although he didn't have any superpowers, he was really smart, which made many hunters jealous in the past.
[REWARD(S)] - Complete Activation Of The System.
[NOTE] - Death Upon Failure.
"Uhh... what the fu*k is this?"
He was shocked at seeing this. It was as if something supernatural thing had happened to him. But he was already expecting something spectacular and now it had arrived.
"Are you freaking kidding me? Death upon failure?"
It was as if his jaws were dropped.
That's when Ryan takes a minute break to calm down and breathe well, erasing the status in front of him without knowing. And then after 2 minutes, he opened his eyes finally making his decision.
As his eyes were wide open, he focused on the surroundings around him. The room itself wasn't well lit, but he could still see enough to determine he was nowhere familiar.
"Dungeon?" he felt that was the most appropriate word to really describe his surroundings, and this thing that suddenly appeared in front of him told him 'he should complete this dungeon' if he wants to return to his world. And then let's not forget the stat.
But there were a few other things written, but Ryan was so preoccupied with the word "dungeon" that he didn't even know the other words.
Thinking about that, the screen popped up in front of the human again, causing him to jump slightly. He quickly glanced at the information on that screen.
"What now?"
[Note: In order to completely activate the system, you must clear out the dungeon.]
"Yeah yeah I get it, no need to tell me that a second time.
He gathered his strength and stood up as his confusion grew but there was something he could sense.
The screen once again disappears from Ryan's view.
Then He began to search his immediate surroundings for a weapon of any kind. But there was nothing he could find, a little disappointed, he headed straight for his path hoping to find something that could help him in this dungeon.
The little man carefully searched the room which had been dimly lit ever since. The boy's bright eyes darted left and right, finally settling on a moving shadow in the middle of the room.
As he decides to get a little closer, he discovers 2 green monsters with pointy ears and ugly faces dressed in leather armor. One with a rusty sword and another with a rusty mace.
Ryan could identify them since he liked to play these kinds of rpg games, of course they were goblins.
Then there was also a long sword on the ground, a few centimeters from the goblins.
Ryan closed his eyes and his breathing became slow and calm. Then he opened his eyes, starting to walk little by little, without making a sound, towards the sword that was on the ground.
Then...
Rift .
Ryan deliberately stepped hard on a piece of tile to reveal his existence.
Kieeeeck!!!
"Holy shit…"
To his surprise, they already sensed his presence and rushed towards him. Ryan quickly picked up the sword, and when they got closer, Ryan swung it at the green goblin with a rusty mace.
It hit the goblin's head, severing it from his body and the second green goblin launched his attack with even more intent to kill Ryan. Now that his buddy had just been killed by a human, the other goblin had become angry.
And with his skinny body, Ryan was instinctively and easily able to dodge the green goblin's slash.
"Woah there, did I just dodge an attack?"
It was a first, Ryan had never been able to dodge a blow sent by those who targeted him, especially from those E rank dungeon
monsters he participated in the past, but Ryan had managed to dodge a blow coming from the same kind of monster .
"That's a first."
Did he make some progress after he killed the first goblin?
Well, something like "you level up" should have popped out but it didn't.
Anyway, it was not the time to think about this...
Now that the green goblin had missed his attack, there was an opening in his defense.
Taking advantage of this opening, Ryan swept his sword without hesitation to cut off the green goblin's head.
As he died, two notifications appeared on the left side of his vision.
[Congratulations, you have eliminated a Green Goblin.]
[Congratulations, you have eliminated a green goblin.]
Ryan completely ignored the notifications, he was completely off.
He who considered himself to be shit had just killed not one but two monsters by himself.
This accomplishment alone makes Ryan not only proud of himself but having for the first time in his life, a big wide smile on his face.
Thanks to these notifications that had appeared in front of him, Ryan had confirmed that the creatures that had attacked him were indeed goblins and now were dead.
Not even letting his moment be taken, 3 other green goblins who were nearby and had heard commotions were now heading towards him.
Ryan gets up with his heart full of excitement, forgetting his sword on the ground attacks the goblin who seemed to be the strongest who was the one in the middle.
The other two goblins suddenly stopped because of the sudden Bloodlust Ryan was releasing.
BAM!
Coooooooooooooooooooaaacks!"
The goblin, who was suddenly attacked by a powerful punch that had sent him crashing into a wall, was now having trouble getting up.
His brain must be shaking because he got hit very hard by a very strong punch.
The Goblin quickly lifted his sharp nails and swung them at him, but Ryan easily dodged the attack.
Bam!
yuck!
Ryan hit the Goblin with another punch with all his might.
Flat!
The goblin fell back with a loud shock to his stomach.
Without missing the gap, Ryan quickly climbed on top of him, swinging his fists and punching him in the face.
Bam! Bam! Bam! bam
“kieeeeck!”
The goblin desperately scratched Ryan's skin to free himself, but it didn't work. Ryan had completely ignored the pain the goblin was inflicting on him.
After the goblin, whose face bone collapsed, stretched his body after a short period of time.
“Huff-huff”
At the end of the desperate fight, Ryan also took a hard breath.
He didn't even use a weapon, but the normal clothes Ryan was wearing were now covered in bloodstains.
The excitement of the battle didn't dissipate immediately, instead the excitement grew and spread through him.
The two goblins who had stood silently watching the fight, turned their heads to look at each other, then dashed toward Ryan with rage.
"Kiiiieeeck!"
Seeing them coming, Ryan calmly gets up and walks towards the sword he had left on the ground, after picking it up, he clenched his fists, with his sword in his hand, then he walks towards them without a second thoughts.
