The System pinged.
James blinked, his attention shifting away from the computer screen, where he had been checking his latest YouTube statistics. Another few hundred subscribers, another few thousand views. Not bad, considering he hadn’t uploaded anything new that morning.
A translucent blue notification appeared in front of him.
[System Alert]
[Dungeon Detected]
[Location: Nearby Woodland]
[Dungeon Break: Possible]
[Estimated Time Until Break: Unknown]
James leaned back in his chair.
“Oh, now that’s interesting.”
A dungeon break. He knew enough about Solo Leveling to understand what that meant. If the dungeon wasn’t cleared or contained, whatever monsters inhabited it could potentially escape into the real world. Which, depending on what came crawling out, could be extraordinarily inconvenient for everyone involved.
Or incredibly useful for him.
He grinned. “Well, fuck me. Things are getting interesting.”
He opened the System map. A familiar overhead representation of the neighbourhood appeared, complete with roads, buildings, parks and woodland. A pulsing red marker sat deep within the forest, considerably farther from the public footpaths than the previous entrances.
“Same forest. Different location.”
He enlarged the map, examining the surrounding terrain. Dense trees, an abandoned forestry track, and what appeared to be a small clearing near an old drainage channel. Excellent. That suited his needs perfectly. No witnesses, no security cameras, and relatively little chance of some unfortunate dog walker stumbling into the middle of a supernatural incident.
“Right. Time to get dressed.”
He shut down his computer, grabbed his phone and headed downstairs.
Christine was in the kitchen.
“Going somewhere?”
“Out for a run.”
“Again?”
“Healthy body, healthy mind.”
“You’re becoming obsessed.”
“Better than sitting around playing video games all day.”
She gave him a suspicious look. “You do that as well.”
“Multitasking, Mum. It’s a gift.”
He grabbed a banana, waved goodbye and disappeared through the back door before she could ask anything else. Outside, the afternoon air was pleasantly warm. James followed the pavement towards the park, maintaining an ordinary walking pace until the houses disappeared behind him.
Only when he reached the quieter woodland trail did he check his surroundings.
Nobody.
Perfect.
“Open Inventory.”
The familiar blue interface appeared. He selected his equipment loadout.
[Equip: Hunter Set]
[Confirm?]
“Yes.”
Everything changed instantly. His trainers vanished, replaced by reinforced leather boots. His jeans became fitted hunter’s trousers, while a protective shirt and leather cuirass materialised around his torso. Bracers enclosed his forearms, gloves fitted themselves over his hands, and a dark hooded cloak settled across his shoulders.
His equipment appeared next. Hunter’s Fang materialised at his hip, followed by his bow, quiver and utility belt. The buckler remained safely in Inventory.
James tightened the belt and checked the dagger.
“Fucking love that.”
He pulled up his hood, glanced towards the red marker and started running. Hard. His enhanced muscles responded immediately, boots hammering against the earth as he accelerated between the trees. Branches whipped past, and the forest blurred around him.
Somewhere ahead, reality was beginning to tear itself apart.
As he neared the entrance, a scream tore through the forest.
James stopped, turning his head towards the sound. Another scream followed, considerably louder than the first, and this time he could make out a woman’s voice shouting for help.
“Oh?”
He turned towards the commotion, pushing through the undergrowth until he reached a break in the trees. About a hundred metres away, two women in jogging clothes were fleeing along a narrow woodland trail. One was blonde, the other brunette, both probably in their thirties, and both looked absolutely fucking terrified.
Behind them came approximately twenty zombies.
James blinked. “Well, fuck me.”
The creatures poured out of the undergrowth, stumbling over exposed roots and crashing into one another in their eagerness to reach the women. Some wore rotting civilian clothing, others the filthy remnants of uniforms. Several were missing portions of their faces, while one particularly unpleasant specimen dragged a broken leg behind it.
A dungeon break.
Except this wasn’t how it was supposed to work. Ordinarily, the dungeon’s inhabitants would remain trapped until the barrier collapsed completely. These bastards had apparently found a way through early.
“Interesting.”
He grinned and drew his sword.
The blonde tripped, hitting the ground hard enough to scrape both knees against the gravel. Her companion immediately turned back, grabbed her arm and desperately tried to haul her upright. The nearest zombie was already closing, its arms reaching towards the fallen woman, its ruined mouth opening in anticipation.
James moved.
His enhanced Agility propelled him forward at a speed that would have been impossible a few weeks earlier. His boots hammered against the earth, his cloak streaming behind him as he burst from between the trees.
“DUCK!”
Both women screamed and dropped. James swung, putting far too much strength into the blow. The sword caught the leading zombie across the neck, tearing through rotten flesh and bone. Its head separated and flew several feet before striking a tree with a sickening crack, sending black blood spraying across the path. Unfortunately, the sheer force of the swing carried James around with it, and he stumbled awkwardly, barely catching his balance before the second zombie came charging at him.
“Whoa, fuck!”

[XP +45]
“Oh, nice!”
He raised his sword again, but the creature was already too close. Its hands caught his shoulders, filthy fingers clawing at the reinforced leather of his cuirass as its rotten jaws snapped inches from his face.
“Get the fuck off!”
James slammed his forehead into its face. There was a loud crack as the zombie’s nose collapsed beneath the impact, sending it staggering backwards. He shoved it away and thrust his sword into its stomach, the blade punching through its abdomen and emerging from its back. He tried pulling it free, only to discover that the damned thing had become stuck.
“Oh, come on!”
The zombie continued clawing at him, seemingly unconcerned by the sword protruding through its torso. James planted a boot against its chest and heaved backwards. The weapon finally tore loose, dragging a tangled mass of decomposing intestines through the wound. The creature collapsed, spilling its remaining guts across the grass.
James stared. “Fucking hell. That’s disgusting.”
A third zombie lunged before he could properly recover. He swung instinctively, but the blade struck its shoulder rather than its neck, biting into bone and lodging there.
“Shit!”
The creature grabbed his arm. James yanked the sword sideways, tearing through the shoulder joint. Its arm came away in a spray of black blood, but the zombie continued advancing, its remaining hand reaching for his throat.
“Oh, you’re fucking kidding me!”
He kicked it backwards, stepped forward and brought the sword down with both hands. The blade struck the top of its skull with a horrible crunch, splitting the head nearly to the jaw. The creature collapsed at his feet, spraying fragments of bone and blackened tissue across the gravel.

“Three down!”
The women stared, although James was already moving. Four zombies rushed him simultaneously, their collective groaning growing louder as they closed the distance. He backed away, suddenly realising that fighting four opponents at once was considerably different from watching someone do it in a video game.
“Oh, bollocks.”
The first grabbed for his throat. James swung low, catching the creature just below the knee and severing its leg. It collapsed forwards, landing heavily on its face, but before he could finish it, the second zombie slammed into him. James stumbled backwards, nearly falling over the first creature as rotten fingers clawed at his armour. He drove his knee into its stomach, grabbed its filthy shirt and threw it sideways into another approaching zombie. Both crashed into the bushes, sending branches snapping beneath their combined weight.
The fourth reached him before he could raise his sword.
James released the weapon with one hand, reached for Hunter’s Fang and drove the dagger straight into the creature’s eye socket. The blade sank deep, meeting resistance as it struck the back of the skull. He twisted the weapon viciously and wrenched it free, leaving the creature to collapse at his feet.

[XP +45]
“Fucking love this knife!”
Something seized his ankle.
James looked down. The legless zombie was crawling towards him, its rotten fingers wrapped around his boot, dragging itself forward with its remaining limbs. Its mouth opened, exposing blackened teeth as it attempted to bite through the leather.
“Oh, for fuck’s sake!”
He brought his sword down, splitting its skull with a sharp crack. The creature stopped moving immediately, its fingers finally releasing his ankle.
By now, the two zombies he had thrown into the bushes were climbing back to their feet. James charged the first, catching it across the throat with an uncontrolled swing. Its head went flying into the undergrowth while its body remained standing for a moment before collapsing. The second came straight at him, and James attempted another horizontal stroke.
He missed.
Completely.
“Shit!”
His sword struck a tree instead. The impact jarred his arms, sending a painful vibration through his wrists. The zombie lunged, its ruined mouth opening as it reached for him. James abandoned the sword momentarily and punched it squarely in the face, shattering its jaw and sending it staggering backwards. He seized the hilt again, pulled the blade free of the tree and drove the point through the creature’s skull.
“Right. Less fucking swinging.”
