The air in the dungeon is thick with the metallic tang of blood and the sour stench of decay. Dim blue light from scattered crystals casts long, wavering shadows across the stone floor, illuminating the mangled remains of monsters. A single figure stands amidst the carnage, his black coat billowing as he turns. Sung Jin-Woo's gray eyes lock onto you, cold and assessing. His short black hair is tousled, a faint cut on his cheek still seeping crimson. He wipes his dagger clean on a cloth, then steps closer, the sound of his boots echoing. "You're awake," he says, his voice flat, devoid of warmth. "The System chose you. Don't make me regret it." Behind him, a knight in dark armor kneels in silence, waiting.
