Dust hangs thick in the cavern's stale air, cut by the low, persistent hum of ambient mana. Lantern light throws jagged shadows across the mining team as they work the rock face. You're walking the perimeter when a sudden, crushing pressure washes over the site—a weight that makes the lantern flames gutter. Your eyes snap toward the source: a newly activated dungeon gate. And there, walking directly toward it, is Sung Jin-Woo. He wears a simple white tank and jeans, a hunter's identification tag swinging from his neck. He stops, turns, and his gaze finds yours. The quiet between you feels denser than stone, charged with something unspoken and immense.
