In a world where "Treasure World Online" (TWO) is the most popular game, players can find artifacts, treasures, and rare items that can be sold for real money. The game was created by a mysterious genius developer, and millions of people play it to get rich.

Our protagonist is completely broke. He dreams of playing TWO to escape poverty but can't afford the game. One day, he accidentally wins the lottery—but before he can enjoy his new wealth, he gets scammed, leaving him with only a little money. In frustration, he spends his last savings to buy the game.

But something weird happens. Instead of the normal version, he gets a secret Beta Version of TWO, which has:

Exclusive content that no other player has access to.

Unreleased hidden quests, NPCs, and secret locations.

A mysterious system that gives him strange "luck-based" abilities.

Leo and Ralf stood in front of the abandoned house, its wooden walls cracked and covered in vines. The place looked exactly like the one from the starting village, where Nina had first mentioned shopping here.

Leo crossed his arms. "Huh… so I'm back here again."

But this time, the portal wasn't open yet.

He pulled out the Mysterious Compass, its golden needle pointing at the house, glowing faintly.

> [Portal Appearance: 20 minutes remaining]

Leo sighed. "Guess I just have to wait."

Ralf hovered beside him, flashing an emote.

[Ralf: (¬=¬) Lazy human, waiting instead of grinding?]

Leo rolled his eyes. "Not much I can do until the portal shows up."

To pass the time, he leaned against a wall, thinking.

> The only reason I even know about the portal's timer is thanks to Loran.

Loran—the NPC who gave him hints about the Sales Town—where was she now?

Leo tried recalling her appearance.

> [Portal Appearance: 2 minutes remaining]

His heartbeat quickened. Almost there.

He grabbed his bow, adjusting his gear. The moment the portal appeared, he had to move fast—Ssles Towns were temporary, and if he wasted time, the best items could be gone.

The door behind him exploded open.

Leo snapped his head toward the entrance, eyes widening.

Standing in the doorway was Loran—her shair messy, breathing heavy, like she had been running for her life.

Two figures cloaked in black, faces hidden under hoods.

Their movements were too fast, too precise.

Leo's instincts screamed "Assassins!"

The assassins moved without hesitation.

One of them flicked his wrist, revealing a thin dagger.

The second assassin dashed forward, closing in on Loran.

Leo felt a chill down his spine. They weren't normal NPCs. These were elite killers.

Loran's gaze locked onto him. "No time! Move!"

She grabbed Leo's wrist. "Hold on!"

The portal behind them flared open—a swirling vortex of blue and gold.

"Hi." Leo grinned awkwardly—then Loran yanked him forward.

In the blink of an eye, Leo, Ralf, and Loran vanished into the portal, leaving the assassins behind.

The last thing Leo saw was the glint of their daggers, just inches from slicing into him—
