Zey was sitting on the floor. His breathing was still heavy, his chest fluctuated as he just ran for tens of kilometers. His hands are still holding a phone that now emits a vague purple light. The light was slowly pulsating, as if the pulse was alive, and waiting.
Around it, the room is still in chaos as before. But his atmosphere changed. Cold. Freeze. It was as if some of the other world had sneaked into the small screen.
Zey stared at the phone that she had been ignoring for a long time. The screen is dropped, the frame is attached to the adhesive tape, but now the outdated device holds incredible power. The display on the screen changed again, showing the interface of the RPG system:
📱 [Player Status]
Name: Zey
Level: 2
XP: 20/100
HP: 40%
Weapons: Empty hands
Active Skills: Basic attacks
Baby Baby: None
Physical Status: Unstable

Zey touched the screen with a bleeding finger. Immediately, an animation appears, as if his blood was absorbed into the screen, mapping his body shape digitally. Her body in the screen moves in line with her. 3D style, full of strange symbols in the background.
"What is this ...?" Zey whispered slowly.
Suddenly, the phone screen began to vibrate. Purple light turns red blood. One icon blinking in the middle of a written screen:
[Dimensions zone detected - instant access]
Without acting, the phone suddenly emitted a bright light. Zey's room disappeared. He stood in a dark room. The floor is like a black glass, the sky does not exist. Only the sound of the phone echoed in the air.
"Welcome to the dimension zone: the beginning floor."
Heard the chain. From the black fog appears objects hanging on small creatures of boys, half translucent, with large white eyes. Behind it is a marker: "Better of a friend - Jin XP (locked)"
"Welcome, Zey ..." Jin XP's voice echoed. "I will only be active when you reach 100 xp ... and only if you don't die first.
Zey brushed his teeth. The space is not only visual, he can feel pressure on his skin, blemishes, floors on the floor such as heartbeat. This is not an illusion. This is not a simulation. This is real.
Then, the sound of dragging footsteps appears from the distance. In front of Zey, a black shadow larger than the previous beings, began to appear. His hands were like iron, with red eyes.
[Dimensional creature: Level 1]
Status: Aggressive
Xp drop: 30
Damage: High
Zey flipped her hood. Sweat. In his heart there are two options: running or opponent. But one thing came in his mind.
"If I die ... I'm a respond. But if I win ... I live back as someone.
With a quick movement, he stepped to the left, avoiding the first swing of the creature. The second attack comes from behind. He rolled forward and pressed the basic attack on the phone screen. A blue light appeared from his hands and exploded into the creature's chest.
The creature moaned, his body exploded into shiny dust. A crystal dropped slowly. Zey caught her, and immediately felt the blood in her body flowed fast. His heart is like pumped with electricity.
Xp +30
Level Up: 2 → 3
HP recovered: +15%
Baby Animals Disabled: Jin XP is now active
Zey is sitting, shivering. The phone in his hand is back in peace. The display is back to his room. But now with a new icon in the upper right corner:
Dungeon connected - online
He looked up, looking at himself in a cracked mirror on the wall. For the first time in a year, he saw something in his eyes, life. But in that life, there is also something darker: addictive.
"If this is a game ... I'll win. No matter how much blood I have to pay."
