After testing out a few of his powers and feeling a thrill he hadn't known in ages, Asher strolled home in high spirits. The excitement of this new world stirred within him, yet… it still wasn't enough.
Once in his bedroom, he lay back on the bed with a chuckle.
"System… open Creator's Command Panel."
—Shing!
A new holographic interface materialized before him. Unlike the ordinary status window, this one brimmed with god-tier commands: adjust stats, spawn Gates, control monsters… and even create ridiculous quests.
Asher's lips curled into a sly grin. His mind drifted to the so-called paragons of humanity—the SSS-rank Hunters. The world revered them as untouchable heroes, the strongest of the strong, disciplined and serious beyond measure.
He wanted to see how they would react to a quest unlike any other.
With a flick of his finger, Asher scrolled down and tapped on Create Emergency Quest (Targeted Group). He set the target group: All Male Hunters, Rank SSS. Then, smirking, he typed in the conditions.
Quest:
Condition: Strip down to underwear and run a full lap around the capital city of your own country.
Time Limit: 24 hours.
Reward: +5 to all stats (STR, SPD, CON, INT).
Satisfied, Asher pressed Confirm. His grin widened with anticipation.
"Now then… show me your choice, SSS-rank Hunters."
At that exact moment…
Hunter Association Headquarters, Seoul, South Korea.
A simultaneous alert chimed throughout the briefing hall, startling every SSS-rank Hunter present. Each of them glanced around in confusion. Never before had the System generated a mission like this.
A tall, broad-shouldered man clad in a pitch-black Hunter's cloak—the leader of the Association's Special Division—stared at the hologram with disbelief.
Name: Kim Hyun-woo
Rank: SSS
Level: 300
Emergency Quest: Strip to underwear and run a lap around the capital city.
"What… in the hell is this?" Kim Hyun-woo muttered under his breath.
Around him, the other SSS-ranks wore expressions of outrage, embarrassment, and bafflement. The most disciplined warriors on Earth… now forced to contemplate public humiliation by the very System they trusted.
And across the globe, it was no different. SSS-rank Hunters everywhere received the same absurd quest, none able to comprehend what had corrupted their once flawless System.
Meanwhile, lounging comfortably on his bed, Asher watched it all unfold with gleeful amusement.
This was only the beginning.
"Alright then…" he mused, eyes glinting with mischief. "Next, I'll create a skill. The strongest skill this world has ever seen."
