In a medieval world, there are various classes: Hunters, Assassins, Healers, Beasts, Monsters, Dungeons, and the Dark Ground Portals, each with different ranks: L, O, B, W, R, RR+, RRR, and even Gods.
There was a boy named Kaien—clumsy and powerless. He spent his days staring at the ground, hoping that, one day, a portal would open. And then, it happened. A black portal, Rank L, appeared right beneath Kaien.
Kaien was pulled into the portal and, upon falling, looked around. Suddenly, five wolves with a dark and powerful aura appeared.
Kaien felt intense fear, his body trembled, and he reached for his iron sword—but something strange happened.

[Do you wish to accept? Yes/No?]
But there was no time. The wolves attacked with incredible speed, and Kaien, weakened, coughed up blood as he was pierced. He felt a deep, overwhelming fear.
His sword fell to the ground, but Kaien shouted with all his strength:
— Yes!
[(Elry’s System)]
[Thank you, Player Kaien. Now, do you desire: Rank O Iron Sword?]
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
Kaien, still covered in blood, nodded firmly:
— Of course.
A magical sword appeared before him. Kaien grabbed it with determination, but the wolves did not back down and kept attacking.
Now with new strength, Kaien felt a green aura pulsing within him. He gripped the sword tighter and chose to fight back.
With speed and strength, Kaien defeated one wolf, pierced another, and dodged the remaining three. In a fierce battle, he killed all five wolves.

Kaien, still pulsing with the green aura and covered in blood, looked at the system.

Kaien was happy with the results, but he was still wounded. He tried to stand, coughing more blood, but ignored the pain and picked up the Rank O sword. The portal to the village was open.
Kaien looked at the portal, but before entering…
[(Elry’s System)]
[Be careful, Kaien.]
Kaien felt a chill.
Kaien: Careful?!
He grabbed the Rank O sword and leapt into the portal with force. Just before he could fully enter, a fast-moving shadow tried to grab him—but the system protected him.
Kaien was shaken, but he was soon transported back to his original point.
He took a deep breath and decided to return to his medieval home. Upon arriving, he was bleeding and held the Rank O sword in his hands. His sister, Luna—blonde with pink eyes—was there.
Luna: Kaien?! Are you okay?!
Kaien nodded, exhausted.
Kaien: Yes, I’m… fine, Luna.
Worried, Luna helped Kaien walk to his room.
Luna: Kaien! I’m going to kill you!
Kaien flinched.
Kaien: Calm down… Luna…
They reached Kaien’s room, and Luna gently placed him on the bed, but Kaien quickly hid the Rank O sword. Before leaving, Luna gave him an angry look and slammed the door shut.
Kaien scratched the back of his neck and looked at the Rank O sword.
Kaien: Yeah… looks like she’s not happy about this at all…
Kaien closed his eyes, exhausted, and fell into a deep sleep, while his green aura slowly began to heal him.
