During Ji-Han's measurement, the room was silent, and the examiner stared at the screen longer than necessary, his brows tightening as if he were trying to understand something that seemed to be the grading.
" Barrier class… combat capability 1.1.." he muttered
A few staff members behind the glass chuckled, "Another low grade. Next".
Ji-Han clenched his fist, "So this was it, even after awakening, nothing changed," he sadly mutters. He forced a smile, bowed slightly, and turned to leave. Suddenly ordinary system, which was from the divarch system, flickered violently.
[SYSTEM ERROR DETECTED]
[SYSTEM REBOOTING]
This same incident occurred multiple times. Ji-Han, in a confused state, was outside the building, wondering what was going on in fear. So it continues until it shatters like glass, which raised a deep fear in him because no player had reported this occurring to them. But then A deep, endless black screen appeared.
[ASTRON SYSTEM ACTIVATED]
[HOST: YOON JI-HAN]
[LEVEL; 1]
[STATUS: ???]
[CLASS; BARRIER; ???; ???]
[COMBAT CAPABILITY; 1.1]
[STRENGTH: 10 AGILITY; 09 ENDURANCE; 05 INTELLIGENCE; 12 LUCK; 0 MANA; 08].
[SKILL; BASIC BARRIER (LV1), BARRIER REINFORCEMENT (LV1; PASSIVE SKILL), GUARD SHIFT (LV1)IMAPACT STRIKE(LV1), CELESTIAL BARRIER (LV??),???, ???, ???.....].
Ji- Han blinked, not understanding the situation, clicked the celestial barrier cause of its unique naming
[CELESTIAL BARRIER, LV??? (UPGRADEABLE)]
[DESCRIPTION: A barrier that scales with cosmic alignment rather than physical strength.]
[REQUIREMENT USE: Lv 20]
Ji-Han blinked, " cosmic… alignment? What's this?"
" doesn't make sense; barriers are supposed to be simple- defense based on mana output, but this_."
"And requirement use level 20; Level 20?" He exclaimed.
And it brought attention of people to him, and he bowed in apology and quickly went home to understand what was going on, with his heart racing. He got home, and he was about to prepare his meal and understand his situation, when suddenly-" DING."
The system sounded and brought a side quest to him.
[SIDE QUEST GENERATED][TITLE: THE STAR THAT NEVER ROSE][OBJECTIVE: SURVIVE YOUR FIRST NIGHT][REWARD: SYSTEM SYNCHRONIZATION 5%][FAILURE: TERMINATION]
Ji-Han paused, "What do you mean by ' survive?" looking confused. A cold wind blew through the surroundings, and each streetlight flickered, and cracks in the air. Ji-han, looking confused, was scared, not knowing what was going on. Suddenly, the cracks opened, monsters poured out, and attacked everyone. Commotion everywhere, hunters available are low-grade players (the highest rank among them was C-rank, which were three) struggling with the E-rank to D-rank monsters, with the boss C-rank. Ji-Han rushed out not to be caught up during the outbreak. And ran as he was too weak to face them.
