Prologue


    “No...”


    Sungjin reached out towards the heaven, but strength had already left him. Somewhere, the ‘Operator’s’ voice filled the air.


    [All yers Eliminated. Closing the Chapter.]


    Sight dimmed from Sungjin’s eyes, darkness creeping inward from the edge of his vision. Now that he faced imminent death, he finally found peace.


    “I had enough of violence. I’m d it is finally over.”


    He let the calm settle over him. Sungjin weed the approaching darkness, of his death. But the Operator’s voice continued to reverberate in the background.


    [You have died.]


    [You were humanity’s veryst remaining yer.]


    [Benefit awarded to thest yer to die is “Restart”]


    At the same time, a single line of text appears before his eyes.


    Restart – Redo the hunt from the very beginning, but with current memory.


    ‘What?’


    Before Sungjin could mutter another sentence, he opened his eyes and saw that he was now in an entirely white room. It was a familiar room, with perfectly square walls.


    [Hunt will soon begin. Prepare for battle.]


    “Restart... from scratch?”


    Sungjin lifted his arms. They felt empty. He examined his hands.


    ‘My rings are gone!”


    It wasn’t just the rings, all the items he had been gathering until now were missing. He had been brought back moments before the first hunt. To the same room where everything began.


    “Sigh...”


    Sungjin massaged his forehead as he let out a withering sigh. In front of his eyes, arge bulletin board appeared.


    Chapter 0 – Living Mannequin


    Time Limit: 30 Seconds


    At the same time, he heard a voice.


    [Annihte the enemy. If you cannot]


    Sungjin absentmindedly spoke out the next words along with the operator.


    “You will die.”


    [You will die.]
