The idea of fighting ten Abyssal Wyrms was overwhelming. He had barely avoided the one he saw earlier, and now he was supposed to hunt them?


    He groaned in frustration. This was not what he wanted to hear. But he knew he didn''t have a choice. If he wanted to get out of here alive, he had to do what the system asked.


    With a heavy sigh, Seojun stood up, determination setting in. "Alright," he muttered to himself, "let''s get this over with."


    Seojun stood on the barren ground of the Wyrmfield, the recent side quest still fresh in his mind. He knew he had to take action, but the thought of facing the Abyssal Wyrms made his heart race. He needed an edge—something that could help him stand a chance against those dangerous creatures.


    With that in mind, he opened his inventory and scrolled through the items he had collected. One, in particr, caught his eye: the me Dagger. He hadn''t used it yet, but now seemed like the perfect time to give it a try.


    "I should try this me Dagger," he muttered to himself, his voice barely above a whisper.


    With a thought, he summoned the dagger into his hand. The weapon materialized instantly, its de glowing with a faint, fiery light. Seojun couldn''t help but admire the craftsmanship; the de was sleek and sharp, with mes flickering along its edge as if the fire was alive. The hilt wasfortable in his grip, wrapped in a dark, heat-resistant material.


    [Appraisal activated]


    A screen appeared before him, disying the details of the dagger.

    Seojun studied the information, his grip tightening on the hilt. The dagger was powerful—exactly what he needed. The skills it offered could give him the advantage he desperately sought.


    Taking a deep breath, he steeled himself for what was toe. "Wish me luck, System," he muttered under his breath, his voice carrying a mix of determination and nervousness.


    [You got this, Host,] the system responded, its tone encouraging and confident.


    Seojun couldn''t help but shake his head with a small, bemused smile. "You''re really getting weird," he muttered, he sheathed the me Dagger and started moving, his eyes scanning the area for any sign of the Abyssal Wyrms.


    After a while, he spotted movement. Arge, dark shape was slithering across the ground, its body shining in the dim light. It was an Abyssal Wyrm, even bigger than the one he had seen before. The creature moved with a creepy, smooth motion, getting closer to him.


    Seojun''s heart raced, but he tried to stay calm ''I can do this'', he thought, gripping the dagger tighter. He knew he needed to strike first if he wanted any chance of winning.


    As he got ready to attack, he quickly activated his appraisal skill.

    Status:

    Seojun read the details, feeling a bit more confident but still cautious. He knew this fight wouldn''t be easy.


    He charged forward and shed at the Wyrm''s side with the me Dagger. The de red with fire as it cut into the creature''s thick, slimy skin. For a moment, Seojun felt a spark of hope—maybe he could actually beat this thing.


    But the Abyssal Wyrm was faster than he expected. It recoiled and then struck back with incredible speed. Before Seojun could react, the Wyrm''s powerful body mmed into him, sending him flying through the air. As he tumbled, his mind raced. ''What just happened?''


    He hit the ground hard, sliding to a stop. Pain shot through his body, leaving him dizzy and confused.


    A familiar chime rang in his ears, and a system hologram appeared.


    [Host, it seems you underestimated the Wyrm''s counterattack. Did you really think it would just sit there and take it?]


    Seojun groaned, feeling embarrassed and frustrated. ''Even the system is mocking me now,'' he thought as he struggled to get up. The Abyssal Wyrm was alreadying toward him again, its dark eyes fixed on him like a predator hunting its prey.


    Despite the pain, Seojun forced himself to stand. He couldn''t afford another mistake. This fight wasn''t over, and he had to figure out a way to turn it around. But for now, his focus was just on surviving.


    "Alright, let''s try this again," he muttered, gripping the me Dagger as he prepared for the Wyrm''s next attack. This time, he wouldn''t underestimate his opponent.


    Seojun struggled against the Abyssal Wyrm, his repeated attempts to defeat it ending in failure. Each charge with the me Dagger was met with a fierce counterattack that sent him flying through the air. Each impact left him more battered, but he refused to give up.


    During one of these attempts, the Wyrm''s massive tail struck his arm with brutal force. He felt a sickening crack as his arm broke. Biting his lip to stifle a cry, hey on the ground, the pain excruciating.


    Momentster, he noticed the pain fading and his arm starting to heal. His eyes widened in surprise.


    "This is some kind of goddess''s blessing, isn''t it?" he muttered, astonished.


    [Yes, Host,]the system confirmed.


    Feeling the pain ease, Seojun got back up, determined to continue. Despite his exhaustion, he pressed on, making more attempts to defeat the Wyrm. Each attack was met with fierce retaliation, but he kept fighting with all his remaining strength.


    After more than two hours of gruelingbat, Seojun made one final, desperate strike. The me Dagger shed through the Wyrm''s tough hide, mes spreading and causing critical damage. The Wyrm roared in pain and finally copsed, defeated.


    Breathing heavily, Seojun dropped to his knees, his body aching but relieved. A triumphant chime signaled the end of the battle, and a notification screen appeared.
