Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

As Yoon-ji stood up, she quickly grabbed Seojun by the collar of his jacket and threw him to the side. Seojun let himself be tossed, landing safely in the arms of the guild members he had met earlier.

He was confused and tried to get his bearings. One of the guild members, a tall man with a reassuring smile, tapped him on the shoulder.

"Don't be scared, boy. Ms. Yoon-ji and Ms. Ji-eun are here," he said cheerfully.

Seojun frowned, still trying to process what just happened.

Another guild member, a young woman with kind eyes, noticed his confusion. "You must be really scared! Here, let me heal you," she offered. "Don't worry! Ms. Yoon-ji can handle that goblin!"

"Yeah! What are you doing in here anyway?" the tall man continued, shaking his head. "Entering the dungeon that had signed 'Do not Enter' isn't allowed! Youngsters these days are so stubborn."

"You're so lucky we saw you!" another girl chimed in, her voice full of excitement.

Seojun thought, What the hell?

"Look! Don't miss the fight of your savior!" the tall man said, grabbing Seojun's shoulder and turning him to face the battle.

There, Yoon-ji had trapped the goblin in her Shadow Bind skill. The goblin struggled, but the dark tendrils held it in place. Yoon-ji moved with precision, her scythe gleaming in the dim light of the cave. With a swift motion, she sliced through the air, and in an instant, the goblin was cut into pieces.

The guild members erupted in cheers, praising Yoon-ji for her skill. "Amazing job, Ms. Yoon-ji!" one shouted. "You took it down fast!"

"Did you see that?" another exclaimed. "She's the best!"

Yoon-ji's scythe disappeared from her hands as she walked back to the group. Ji-eun stepped forward, her expression calm.

"We won't report you for entering the dungeon without permission, but don't do it again," she said firmly.

She turned and began walking, followed by Yoon-ji and the others. Seojun, not having much choice, was dragged along by a guy who casually slung his arm over Seojun's shoulders.

"Why did you enter this dungeon when there's a clear 'Do Not Enter' sign? You're lucky Ms. Ji-eun is letting you off," one of the men said, shaking his head.

"Yeah, it's obvious kids like you enter dungeons trying to get awakened. If we hadn't seen you, you'd probably be dead by now," another guy added with a click of his tongue.

"Hey, don't be so harsh on him," a girl chimed in, looking a bit annoyed at their tone.

"How did you know I'm not awakened?" Seojun asked, just going with the flow for now.

The girl who had healed him earlier grabbed his hand gently and turned it over, showing the back of his palm.

"All awakeners have a mark here, on the back of the palm. It will became transparent and glows when you're in danger. Earlier, nothing glowed, so it was obvious."

Seojun took his hand back, nodding slightly. "I see."

The guy with his arm still around Seojun's shoulder leaned in and whispered, "Oh-uh, don't get too close to her, kid. She's dangerous."

The girl heard him and slapped his shoulder hard. "Stop it! I'm not dangerous! He might believe you, idiot!" she shouted, pushing him away before walking beside Seojun.

Seojun couldn't help but think, 'Are they stupid? They don't recognize me?'

[Host, since they didn't see your face earlier, I doubt they recognize you. Plus, your clothes earlier gave off a different vibe. Now you look like a regular 18-year-old teen, and your aura is suppressed,]

Makes sense but still… them not recognizing me is so dumb, Seojun thought, somewhat amused but slightly annoyed.

"Hey... hello?" Seojun blinked and looked at the girl waving her hand in front of his face. Her expression turned to concern. "Are you okay? Is there still something wrong?" she asked.

"The kid's too terrified to speak. Tsk tsk tsk, entering a dungeon you can't handle is suicide," one of the other guys chimed in, shaking his head.

The girl ignored him and gently grabbed Seojun's hand. Her hands glowed softly as she smiled.

"There, I hope your fear disappears now. Just forget what happened earlier. It won't happen again," she said kindly.

Seojun felt a strange sensation from her touch, which made him pull his hand back again. The others laughed, unable to hold it in, and the girl glared at them before turning back to Seojun with a smile.

"Anyway, I'm Pay. What's your name?"

"Seojun," he answered simply, his attention shifting to a massive door ahead of them.

Pay wasn't done, though. "Uhmm, can I get your number? Maybe we can have a talk after this?" she asked, a bit hopeful.

Seojun raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly not expecting that.

One of the other guys quickly pulled Pay away, laughing as he said, "Don't pay attention to her, she likes young boys like you."

Another chimed in, "Too greedy, Pay! Haha, you're 28, way too old for him!" They all laughed together.

Seojun just sighed internally, thinking, I'm 23 on paper, so I'm not that young... but who cares.

Ji-eun suddenly stopped walking, and the group found themselves standing in front of a massive door. Her eyes lit up. "The boss room!" she said with excitement.

"Oh yeah! We found it!" the others cheered, their excitement filling the air.

The others warned Seojun to stay in the corner once they entered the boss room. "We won't be able to get out of this dungeon without defeating the boss and if we used up all the potions, our healer mana and you got hurt. You'll die" one of them said seriously.

Yoon-ji turned to the group, her expression focused.

"Get ready. Remember, we won't step in unless you're about to die," she said, emphasizing that they were treating this dungeon raid as training for the newer members.

"Don't worry, Ms. Yoon-ji and Ms. Ji-eun! We'll make you proud!" one member replied confidently.

Seojun then activated his appraisal,

Their stats is almost the same , Seojun thought and got distracted by this members.

"Yeah! We've trained hard for this!" another added, determination in their eyes.

"We're ready for anything!" a girl said, cracking her knuckles.

As the group stepped forward, they felt proud of themselves. "Oh yeah! That boss won't land a hit on us!" one member shouted, grinning widely.

"He's doomed because we're hear!" another replied, excitement in their voice.

"Let's show that boss what we're made of!" Pay said, her eyes shining with determination.

They entered the boss room, and a notification appeared before them:

[Notification: You have entered the Boss Room!]

Boss: Abyss Goblin Emperor

Rank: A (2000)

As the group entered the boss room, a heavy feeling settled over them. Suddenly, the Abyss Goblin Emperor stepped out from the shadows. It was huge, towering over the guild members. Its green skin was covered in thick, black veins that seemed to pulse with energy. Its eyes were completely black, and it wore a jagged crown made of twisted metal.

Around its neck hung a necklace of fangs, trophies from its many victims. In its hands, it held a massive axe, the blade shining menacingly in the dim light.

Just then, the door behind them slammed shut with a loud thud. The sound echoed through the chamber, sending chills down everyone's spine.

Panic spread among the group. They realized they were trapped with a Level 2000 Rank A boss, which felt impossible. The highest rank A level they had ever faced was Level 900, and they knew that anything at Level 2000 should be classified as Rank S. The overwhelming power of the creature left them questioning their chances of survival.

Another member's heart raced as she wondered if there was a glitch in the system that had brought them here. But as they looked around, it became clear that this was not a glitch at all.

They were unaware of how much stronger Abyss monsters were compared to those in their world.
