Chapter 2: A Useless Awakening

The invitation to the B class dungeon expedition felt like a glimmer of hope in the darkness that had consumed Yeon-woo's life. Perhaps this was his chance to prove himself, to rise above his useless rank and become the hero he had always dreamed of being.

With a mix of excitement and trepidation, Yeon-woo joined the expedition as a porter, carrying supplies for the rankers. Among them was Soo-ji Yoon, an S ranker known for her ability to create realistic illusions. Despite her formidable skills, Soo-ji had a playful side, often using her illusions to entertain her fellow rankers.

As they journeyed deeper into the dungeon, Yeon-woo couldn't shake the feeling of inadequacy that gnawed at him. Surrounded by powerful rankers, each with their own impressive abilities, he felt like a mere shadow, insignificant and inconsequential.

During a brief rest stop, Yeon-woo overheard Soo-ji grumbling about her illusion not being convincing enough. Feeling a mischievous spark, he approached her with a grin. "Need a hand with your illusion, Soo-ji?" he asked, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

Soo-ji raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Yeon-woo's offer. "And what could you possibly offer, Mr. F class?" she teased, a playful smirk tugging at her lips.

Yeon-woo shrugged nonchalantly. "Just watch and learn," he replied cryptically, his confidence unwavering.

With a flick of his wrist, Yeon-woo activated his Transfer ability, lending Soo-ji some of his copycat skills. In an instant, her illusion transformed into a dazzling display of color and light, stunning everyone around them.

The rankers erupted into laughter and applause, impressed by Soo-ji's sudden improvement. Even Soo-ji couldn't help but grin at Yeon-woo's antics. "Not bad for an F class," she admitted, a hint of admiration in her voice.

But their moment of levity was short-lived. As they resumed their journey, the dungeon began to tremble, its walls pulsating with an ominous energy. Panic rippled through the group as they realized what was happening.

The dungeon was transforming.

In a matter of seconds, the familiar corridors and rooms were replaced by a nightmarish landscape of twisted shadows and jagged edges. The air crackled with dark magic, sending shivers down Yeon-woo's spine.

Twist: Amidst the chaos, a powerful creature emerges from the shadows, its eyes gleaming with malice. With the dungeon now transformed into an SS rank nightmare, Yeon-woo and his companions find themselves facing their greatest challenge yet. Will they survive this deadly game of cat and mouse, or will they become mere fodder for the darkness that lurks within?
