The Inheritance That Cannot Be Denied

The Battle Wasn't Over Yet...

And so… the real battle had begun.

Jeon gasped for breath, his body heavy with exhaustion, but he couldn't afford to stop now.

He was surrounded by the void creatures, their featureless black forms shifting and stretching, moving without sound. The longer he stayed, the more they multiplied.

📜 [Condition: Stay alive for 10 minutes]

But running was no longer an option.

🔹 Running Was No Longer an Option

💥 The creatures lunged at him!

The first one struck at a speed beyond human capability, its claws shimmering with a dark, eerie glow.

Jeon barely dodged in time, feeling the rush of death pass right by his face. But he wasn't completely lucky—a sharp gash appeared on his left arm, blood dripping down.

💬 "Shit… These things aren't illusions!"

The pain made him realize something critical: This place was real. This fight was real. If he died here… he wouldn't wake up.

📜 [Shadow Resistance - Level 1 Activated]

There was no time to process that notification because another creature was already behind him!

📜 [Warning: Lethal attack incoming!]

But his body moved on its own.

💨 He ducked just in time, twisted his torso, and swung his fist in a desperate counterattack!

⚡ BOOM!!

The creature was blown backward, its body dissolving into dark mist.

Jeon's eyes widened.

💬 I… I can hit them?!

An unfamiliar sensation filled his veins—a mix of fear and excitement. If he could injure them, then he could survive.

But the problem wasn't just one enemy. There were too many.

🔹 Reaching His Limits

His body moved instinctively, as if his senses had entered a whole new level.

Every step was precise. Every motion was calculated.

💨 He dodged another attack, spun around, and struck another shadow in the head!

💥 BOOM!!

The creature exploded, but it wasn't the last one.

📜 [Eight minutes left…]

💬 Eight minutes?! It feels like I've been fighting for hours!

His body was screaming in pain, but he couldn't afford to collapse.

📜 [Bloodline Ability Activated: Shadow Resistance - Level 2]

Something inside him was changing.

He realized that the shadows weren't hurting him as much anymore. It was as if his body was… adapting to them.

But that still wasn't enough.

🔹 Unlocking True Power

Five minutes left.

The void creatures were evolving, becoming faster, stronger, and more vicious.

One finally landed a hit—its claws raked across his chest, but instead of overwhelming pain, Jeon felt… something else.

📜 [Black Bloodline Inheritance – Activation 20%]

A surge of black energy erupted from his body, instantly incinerating the creature that had struck him!

Jeon felt a new strength coursing through his veins.

💬 This isn't just resistance… This is real power!

The counterattack began.

A right hook sent one of the creatures flying into the void.A swift kick shattered another's head.A rapid leap, a dodge, a perfect strike!

He was moving like a warrior who had trained for years.

📜 [Three minutes left…]

The air was thick with the dark mist of fallen enemies, and the once-empty battlefield was littered with their remnants.

But Jeon didn't bother counting the bodies—he only needed to last until the end.

📜 [One minute left…]

Then everything stopped.

There were no more creatures.

No more attacks.

Then… the voice returned.

💬 You have passed the trial.

And suddenly, the entire world collapsed around him.

🔹 Returning to Reality

Jeon's eyes snapped open, his body convulsing as if he had just awakened from a nightmare.

But he wasn't in the void anymore.

He was in a hospital.

💬 Jeon!

Before he could even process what was happening, his mother threw herself over him, hugging him tightly, her eyes swollen from crying.

💬 "I thought I lost you!"

Jeon didn't know how to respond. Everything had been real. It wasn't a dream.

Before he could say anything, the doctor entered, flipping through his medical records with disbelief written all over his face.

This is impossible… Your body is in perfect condition, as if you were never in an accident at all!

Jeon looked at his hands. No bruises. No cuts. No sign that he had nearly died in a horrific crash.

But the one thing that hadn't changed was the black mark on his wrist.

📜 [First Trial Passed]📜 [Black Bloodline Inheritance – Activation 25%]

Something had started…

And there was no going back now.
