In the dream, Xun has to fight for his life without knowing as to why he had to do it. It was a endless battle with massive dragons blocking his path when he had to kill those monsters he leveled up as if it was a game or if he died, it would reset immediately if he'd had to start over from the beginning at level one, everything have been reseted.
The only way to escape from that dream had been somehow survive until he had reached the end in the final boss room. After fighting tirelessly and making his way to the final boss room, to Xun's disbelief, the face of the final boss… Resembles my grandfather Sung Jinwoo.
Xun chuckled. It was typical for him to reminisce about his dragon dreams from his adolescence.from the point on he stopped having those dreams. It was probably around the time when it was the summer time of his first year of highschool that after his grandparents went missing. The day Xun's peaceful life crumbled.

Something unsually happened in the corner of the art gallery.
"Is it here?"
"Yes, the teaching assistant said the he stored them here"
Clank! The paint department students opened the storeroom door the retrieve the art displays. Once inside, their eyes widens in astonishment upon discovering something they didn't even expect.
"Huh?"
A pitch-black hole hovered over the wall.
"Ahhh! Isn't that a gate?!!"
"Call for help quickly!"
The Terrified students backing away.Their shaking hands trying to reached there phones trying to report for what they saw, but a fourth-year student immediately stopped them.
"Calm down!, it's clearly a close gate!"
"Oh I see, the black mist burn hasn't start flowing yet!"
"Right. It's still a long way from a dungeon break."
"Phew…it really got me."
The students late to comprehend the situation released a belated sigh of relief. The term "dungeon break" is referred to the phenomenon of magic beast pouring out of a gate. However, a dungeon break didn't occur immediately upon that gates formation. But before that, a black mist burn had been flowing out the gate, polluting the entire surroundings. Only then a gate could open, allowing the magic beast to emerge.
"So, for now, it's safe you see" The senior student chuckled confidently.
"Hey, why are you laughing like that? It's making me nervous anyways.Anyways it's still dangerous, so shouldn't we report it right away?"
"You morons. Haven't you heard the rumors? That breathing in the black mist can awaken abilities?"
"Oh!"
The other students' ears all perked up once they were told the rumor. There was still too much uncertainty surrounding the black mist's true nature but at the same time, a rumor a began to spread furtively on the internet like some urban myth.
The rumor was that the mist was imbued with magic power and that the breathing in it could instantly awaken magical abilities, even in ordinary individuals.
"Isn't that a just a baseless rumor?"
