Screen:
"1 hour until the First Floor gate opens"
At the Yakuza Guild camp, a mysterious silence had spread everywhere. Everyone was seriously sharpening their weapons and checking their equipment. The Yakuza boss cast a heavy glance around and said:
"If you fail, kill yourselves right there, because if you can't defeat the monster of the first floor, you don't deserve to stay alive. So either you win… or you get buried right there!"
Screen:
"40 minutes until the gate opens"
The Yakuza Guild commander (Daiki) stood up, raised his sword, and shouted with a roar that shook the entire area:
"Guys! Forward to victory! Either we win… or we die with honor and pride!"
Everyone, shouting in unison and slamming their weapons against the ground, prepared to enter the hell of the first floor…
Screen: 20 minutes until the First Floor gate opens
Some teams had gathered in front of the gate, including the teams of: Yakuza, Red Cloaks, Fatihans of the Floors, and the Godly Lone Swords.
When all the teams were lined up in front of the gate, someone wearing a black cloak was silently standing beside it. No one knew when he had arrived. One of the Yakuza Guild members stepped forward and said:
"You're planning to go in alone? Good luck, hero."
Yagami only gave a brief glance. He didn't say a word. Daiki calmly said:
"Forget it. Maybe he'll be a decent sacrifice for the first floor's king. Hahahaha."
Screen: Countdown started… 10… 9… 3… 2… 1
The gate opened with a deafening roar. Everyone was ready to attack, but…
Before anyone could even enter, suddenly the main screen appeared in front of everyone:
"Floor Boss Destroyed"
Defeated by: One-Eyed God
Level Evaluation: Unknown (Unidentifiable)
Everyone stood frozen in shock. No one had heard a sound, seen a light, or even seen anyone enter.
The man with the hat? It was as if he had never been there. He had vanished. Like a shadow that appeared only to complete a mission… and now left no trace.
---
When the sound of the screen echoed and announced that the floor boss had been destroyed, all the Yakuza Guild members were stunned. For a brief moment, Daiki saw Yagami on the other side of the gate, wearing a demonic smile—but then he vanished. One of the guild members was speaking when his head was suddenly severed. Little by little, the heads of all the guild members fell to the ground. The commander, eyes wide and clothes soaked in blood, looked at his men.
Only Daiki felt nothing at all, standing in the middle of his men's corpses, drenched in blood. He didn't understand what had happened. Fear filled his entire being and he started to run.
But suddenly, a man wearing a black cloak and a hat appeared right in front of him.
Calmly, he said:
"Tell your boss that Yagami sends his regards."
Daiki fell to the ground several times out of fear, got back up, and ran away without ever looking back.
Yagami stood there with a demonic smile…
The screen was still lit, showing only one message:
Defeated by: One-Eyed God
Level: Unassessable
---
They brought Daiki into the boss's room while his body was trembling and his face drenched in sweat. His eyes were empty and his voice was broken as he kept muttering:
"He's coming… he'll kill all of you… it only takes a blink… I'm still young… I don't want to die…"
The boss angrily slapped him and shouted:
"What nonsense are you spouting? Who's coming? Where are the others?"
Daiki, trembling and sweating, said:
"He said his name is Yagami… and he told me to send you his regards."
The guild boss said:
"Which Yagami? Speak properly, idiot! Who was he? Where are the others?"
The man who had brought Daiki into the room said:
"The others have been killed."
The Yakuza boss said:
"How? Which guild could do something like this?"
At that moment, he sensed a faint laugh behind him.
The Yakuza boss turned around in horror, but there was no one there—only an open window. When he turned back, the commander's head fell heavily to the ground… dead.
Everyone took a step back. The Yakuza boss shouted:
"Protect me, idiots! Why are you frozen?!"
A few seconds later, the scream of the Yakuza boss's daughter echoed from the upper floor.
Everyone rushed toward her room… but it was empty.
On the bed, only a letter was left behind.
With trembling hands, the Yakuza boss picked up the letter.
It said:
"If you want your daughter… come to this address."
And below it, written in sharp red letters, there was only one signature:
"Yagami"
The Yakuza boss roared in rage:
"Why are you staring at me?! Move! Tell everyone to get ready! Idiots! I swear I'll kill you… just wait…"
---
His team quickly prepared to move. Following the address in the letter, they headed toward a dark and mysterious cave. Torches were lit along both sides of the cave walls, casting a faint light, but the atmosphere was strangely heavy and suffocating.
Two of the Yakuza members whispered to each other:
"Did you hear? They say the commander died with just one look… I don't know why we should risk our lives for a spoiled girl…"
The Yakuza boss said in a cold voice:
"Anyone who's afraid can turn back right now. I won't stop them."
Those two quickly turned back to flee…
But suddenly, thorn-filled plants burst out from the ground. The vines twisted around their bodies like coils, the thorns piercing rapidly into their skin and muscles… even entering through their mouths.
Muffled screams echoed through the cave. The others only watched… without moving. Only the rustling of the plants and the groans that gradually faded away could be heard.

Magic Skill: Plant Control
Level: 50
HP: 130
XP: 3320
Special Skill: Explosive Pumpkins
The Yakuza Guild boss, an A+ rank user, with brutal and terrifying power.
In a cold voice, he said:
"Is there anyone else who wants to talk about my little girl?"
Everyone fell silent.
"If not… let's go."
---
When they reached the destination, what they saw froze everyone in place…
The boss's daughter was in a corner of the cave, her body wounded, her hands and feet bound with chains… her eyes half-open, filled with fear and pain.
The Yakuza boss rushed toward her with eyes full of rage and hatred.
With a trembling but furious voice, he said:
"Who did this to you? Speak, my daughter. I swear… I'll kill the one responsible… in the most horrific way possible. Just wait, my daughter…"
He turned to his men and shouted:
"Come here, damn it! Heal my daughter! What are you doing?!"
No one moved.
Yakuza:
"Why are you staring at me like cattle?!"
In an instant… all of the men collapsed to the ground.
Like trees felled by a single swing of an axe. Without a sign… without a scream…
The Yakuza boss, gripped by deep terror, was holding his daughter in his arms and looking around in fear when suddenly…
A heavy blow struck his head.
The image of his daughter blurred before his eyes… everything turned black…
and he collapsed to the ground.
