The school emergency alarm screamed.
A low-rank Gate had opened near the training field.
Students panicked—but hunters arrived late.
Xiao Li stood still.
[God-Tier System Detected a Beginner Gate]
[Mission: Enter Gate Solo]
[Reward: Hidden Skill + EXP]
His heart raced.
"This… is my chance."
He stepped inside the Gate alone.
Inside was a ruined city filled with Mutant Hounds.
The first monster lunged.
Xiao Li reacted purely on instinct.
One slash.
Blood sprayed.
The monster died.
[Kill Confirmed]
EXP +30]
Xiao Li stared at his shaking hands.
"…I killed it."
Fear faded.
Something else replaced it.
Excitement.
