"Shishishi, I'll let you do all the talking." I giggled to Jin-Woo as we arrived at Jin-Ho's table.

*Screech*
Jin-Woo pulled up a chair, sitting down.
There wasn't another chair at the table so I just leaned on his chair.
"Oh sir, I'll pull up a seat for you." Jin-Ho quickly rose seeing me standing.
"It's fine, I prefer standing." I told him, waving my hand.
"No, I insi-"
"I'm fine." I said with an underlying meaning.
"O-Ok." Jin-Ho stuttered, sitting down.
Seeing I was done talking, Jin-Woo spoke.
"So how did you find my number?"
"Oh, well I do have a few connections in the guild." Jin-Ho responded, bragging slightly.
"Would either of you want a cup of-" Jin-Ho started, but quickly stopped when he remembered how I shut him down earlier.
"I didn't expect to see you again." Jin-Woo said, clearing up the silence.
"Well, you're both my saviors!" Jin-Ho said excitedly.
"You did share all the crystals with us, so we earned some money." Jin-Woo responded.
'Oi, this guy knows how to talk to people.' I thought, recalling his timid self.
"Also, you've kept quiet. So we haven't had any problems yet." Jin-Woo said, gazing sharply at Jin-Ho.
'Scary.' I thought, sensing his gaze even though I couldn't clearly see it.
*Scoff*
"T-Those guys were going to harm us! Hunters can't just die so easily..." Jin-Ho said, looking up at me for a brief second.
"So why did you want to meet us?" Jin-Woo asked, leaning back in the chair.
"I'm planning to create a personal attack-"
"Declined." Jin-Woo said, shutting Jin-Ho down, immediately.
"How fast!" I murmured, shifting my legs around.
"B-B-But I didn't even finish my sentence!"
'God, help me!' I yelled in my mind.
"I've got to use the bathroom!" I said, flickering away from their conversation and arriving in front of the bathroom.
*Thud*
I swung the door opening, creating a loud noise when it hit the wall.
'Sh*t!' I thought, dodging the man washing his hands as I flung myself into a stall.
*Zip*
I quickly unzipped my pants and threw my pants off, sitting on the toilet.
"OH GOD!" I yelled, a demon hitting the splashing through the surface of the water.
*Shiver*
'What was that?' I thought, turning behind me.
"OH LORD!!!" I screamed, ignoring the weird feeling.
"HAVE MERCY!!!" Another demon was released.

'How bad I feel for this toilet is indescribable...'

The sun hadn't even finished rising yet, and I was already outside doing my daily exercise. Sometimes I would go out with Jin-Woo to exercise, but today wasn't one of those days since his sister stole my spot, and I didn't feel like going with another person.
"Now that I think about it... didn't Jin-Woo get that key from a blessed box he got after doubling his daily quest?" I murmured to myself, looking at the board in front of me.

'I know I'm not strong enough to conquer the dungeon yet... but I can still kill that guard dog and get its equipment.' I thought, thinking of the pros and cons.
'Let's do it!'
...
...
'Oii, I made it.' I chuckled, looking at the tower in front of me.

I looked down at the key in my hand, the reward I got from the box.
'I feel like I'm just getting the exact same rewards as the ones that Jin-Woo got in canon.' I said, looking at the key all around.

'Cerberus should be an S Rank beast. With my title and all my skills, I should be able to bring him down to an A Rank just like me.' I thought, preparing myself for the fight to come.
*Unlock*
I turned the key mid air, a red portal forming around my hand and the landscape changed to that of a burning hell.
*Growl*
I heard a deep growl as the flame parted, revealing a huge three headed dog.
[Hell's Gatekeeper, Cerberus]
It said in red.
'Damnit! I thought it would be orange. I'm stronger than Jin-Woo when he faced it yet he still won.' I complained.
I waited a second and saw my [Beast Slayer] title activate, giving me my signal.
I summoned my blade, and cast a skill.
'[Dash]' With my speed increasing by 50%, and Cerberus' stats decreasing by 50%, I knew I had a chance.
I jumped up, using all my speed cutting at the dog's eyes.
*Slash*
It moved swiftly, making me cut its ear, the attack barely doing anything.
*BOOM*
[Hp: 3107/4780]
I was caught off guard...
The dog used it's heads to crush me, thankfully I reacted at the last second and caught its head, wedging me in between them.
"DAMN!" I yelled as I felt my arms buckling.
[Hp: 2804/4780]
"[Bloodlust]!" I yelled, activating my skill.
*Thud*
I dropped to the ground, landing on my feet letting my weakened arms droop.
As I looked down at the ground, I felt a murderous intent coming from above me as three screens appeared in my vision.
[The enemy's resistance was too high. The effect was cancelled]
-[Hell's Gatekeeper Cerberus is using [Skill: Wrath]]
Wrath will last for 3 minutes.
Cerberus' stats will be doubled.
'F*ck! It's back to full strength!' I yelled to myself as I opened my inventory.
*Gulp*
I drank a [Status Recovery Potion], refilling my health and nulling my fatigue all the while giving me a 15% increase in stats for the next 10 minutes.
"It's not over yet!"
*BOOM*
I blasted off the ground, spinning like a fan while swinging my sword.
*Cut*
I flew past the dog's left head, taking out its eyes and cutting its ear clean off.
*ROOARR*
The dog screamed in pain.
"Just die!" I yelled, bouncing off the wall of the tower as I repeated the process, blinding the dog and cutting off its hearing.
"Should've died earlier." I said as I hacked at the dog.
[You have slain Hell's Gatekeeper Cerberus.]

'Recalling what's in the dungeon... I'd definitely live, but I'd struggle. I don't have a class yet, the only reason Jin-Woo was able to clear it out so easily was because of his summons yet I don't have that.' I thought, stumbling over to the dead body.
