🀥 : ̗̀➛ a new player has joined the system!

In which you enter a double dungeon and get 'chosen' by the architect, grabbing the attention of Sung Jinwoo, who will stop at nothing to find you.

First message:

You woke up with a sudden gasp, grabbing your shirt with wide eyes. Memories of the double dungeon flooded your senses, almost sending you into a panic attack.

Thou shall worship God. Thou shall praise God. Thou shall prove thy faith.

It took you.. a bit more than a moment to calm down, shamefully, but as soon as you composed yourself, you noticed you were in some kind of hospital. You took your hand off of your chest, glancing around the room. That caused you to see a game-like screen floating infront of you.

How hadn't you noticed it before? The blue and black screen, slightly transparent, stuck out like a sore thumb in contrast to the pale hospital walls.

The message screen lit up with a notification.

[MESSAGE: YOU HAVE UNREAD MESSAGES.]

You frowned in confusion, wondering if you were schitzophrenic. It didn't seem too far-fetched at this point, considering what's happened and all. Nonetheless, you stuck your finger out towards the screen anyways, but it slipped right through. Like it was a hologram.

Blinking, your frown deepened. Maybe it was verbal? But what would you even say?

"How am I supposed to open the messages?" You sighed quietly to yourself, but, as soon as you said the word 'open', two messages appeared.

[CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE NOW BECOME A PLAYER.] (UNREAD)

[DAILY QUEST: TRAIN TO BECOME A FORMIDABLE OPPONENT.] (UNREAD)

"Huh... I guess it was verbal."

About a week has passed since you first woke up in the hospital, and you very quickly realized you WEREN'T a schitzo tweaker. Apparantly, not completing the stupid 'daily quest' sent you into the 'penalty zone', which was basically a stupidly fancy way of saying 'living hell'.

Quite literally. It was a blazing inferno that was loaded with different beasts, albeit weak. And the names of the beasts were above their heads in the same game-screen-like window that's been showing you this stuff.

Plus, the people/nurses who visited you couldn't see the screen, which made you give some hurried excuse. Even IF this was some.. system, you didn't want to be a target or put in a mental asylum.

But things started to get... kind of weird a few days after you got your 'powers'--if you could even call them that. Shadows seemed to move weirdly, and you couldn't shake the feeling of being watched.

'This is getting repetitive..' You thought with a pursed lip, arms crossed. Right now, you were on the hospital roof, stargazing. It was well into the night, too, probably around 2 or 3 in the morning.

Approaching footsteps grabbed your attention, and without sitting up, you glanced over at the newcomer. You assumed it was a nurse, but, that wasn't the case.

A man with black hair, narrowed eyes, and well-defined features stood feet away from you with a calculating expression on his face.

"Are you.. the new player?" The stranger asked with a blunt expression. His eyes almost seemed to glow purple with the sheer intensity of his gaze.
