Min-Jae stared at the new system window.
It looked different from the others.
The color was darker.
Almost black.
[Hidden Condition Triggered]
Min-Jae frowned.
"A hidden condition?"
He had never seen this in his previous life.
The message continued.
[User has altered the tutorial timeline.]
[Difficulty Adjustment Initiated.]
Min-Jae's expression slowly hardened.
"That's… not good."
If the system increased the difficulty this early, things could spiral out of control.
Footsteps suddenly approached behind him.
Min-Jae turned.
The survivors from the café were slowly coming outside.
They looked at him like he was something unreal.
"You killed all of them…"
"How are you doing this?"
Min-Jae ignored the questions.
His eyes were locked on the system window still hovering in front of him.
Because the message wasn't finished yet.
A new line appeared.
[Additional Tutorial Boss Incoming]
Min-Jae felt a chill run down his spine.
Because in his previous life—
There had never been a tutorial boss.
