Give me a few moments to upload all the images
(First POV)
—1 week later—
As time went on I was cutting through monsters easily and leveling up my skills faster. The monsters around the forest shifted between day and night.

I mainly leveled up because of how many monsters ran around at night. The monsters in the daytime; although they were good, it just wasn't enough for me to level up like I do at night, but it was all good since my skills leveled up more.
I haven't been able to get anywhere near the mountains because the monsters there were strong and had overwhelming numbers. After this one week of grinding I leveled up around 16 times.

The time limit I had to beat this dungeon around two months, but I barely got anywhere in this one week. I looked up at the clouds or more specifically the being that was on the mountain.
It's power was just crazy. I could feel it's aura suppressing everything across the island. It was my time to leave though. 1 week had been up and I actually have a plan to fix this problem.
My problem is that I'm too strong for the monsters that I can beat, so I can't level up with them, but I'm also too weak to fight monsters that I can level up with.
I'm stuck in the middle, but what if I was able to fight A+ or S rank dungeons in the real world to level up and come back here? I tapped on my skills and saw how much they leveled up.

I'm still surprised that even with the effects of the title, I could only get Gods bolt up to level 5. The magic hands skill was a skill I got after reaching level 70. It basically gives me telekinesis.
"ID leave." I said and in a moment my body was engulfed in light and I appeared in my house. To even be allowed in dungeons like those, I need to get re-evaluated and get ranked up to S or at least A.
My clothes were completely messed up, but I smelled horrible. I threw them in a trash bag and went to take a shower. After getting out, I changed into some black dress pants, a white T-shit, and a black button up shirt with the sleeves rolled. I then put on some white hightops that looked like vans.
Afterwards I left the house to go to the hunters association. On my way there, I stopped to get some food and something to drink. The looks were usual and honestly didn't bother me anymore.
As I saw the building, I used a quick burst of speed and appeared at the door. Once I got there I walked in and threw my empty bag if food away. There were lots of people here in business suits.
I went over to the waiting area and soon enough someone cane out and called me. I told them that I was here for a re-evaluation and they sighed.
"You'll have to pay a fine of around 5k won. Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked in a bored tone.
"Yeah." I said as I walked into the room.
"You should know how the process works. Put your hand on the black crystal and wait." He said as he got behind a machine. After a bit of waiting, the crystal started glowing gold.
"One moment, the machine seems to be glitching. Let me get the manager." He said as he left the room.
'So they use a machine that can glitch to let people know what their rank is? For something like this they should have checked if it had any glitches and checked again to be sure.' I thought with a sigh.
'Then again…' My thoughts trailed off as I looked at the magic circle that this crystal was places on. Soon the man cane back with another man in a business tuxedo.
They had a talk before he looked at the machine. His eyes looked like they bulged from his head as his mouth dropped to the ground. Both figuratively and literally.
A/N: If you don't understand that reference, let me get you to log off for me.
"GET CHANG-SHIK OVER HERE NOW!!" The man yelled.
'Who's that?'
"EH!!"
"THE MACHINE DOESN'T GLITCH!! THIS JUST MEANS TGAT ITS INCAPABLE OF MEASURING HIS POWER!!"
'Oh, well that makes sense.'
"WAIT DOESN'T THAT MEAN THAT HE'S SOUTH KOREA'S 11'th S-RANK HUNTER!!" The first guy yelled.
The other man just nodded his head with a serious expression.
…
—US Embassy—
In a conference room there sat 12 people as they all had a serious expression on their face. Today they were confronting a problem that's been bothering them for decades.
"Alright gentleman, let's begin the conference." Said an elderly man. He looked to be in his mid 60's. This was the president Casper L. Booker.
"Yes sir." A man said as he stood up. He was Jermaine T. Jackson, a five star general which is the highest military rank. This gave him the accessibility to conferences that have something to do with the country.
This position also gave him high influence in most national affairs. He was an African American man in his late 40's. He walked up to a bored and signaled for the lights to be turned off as he turned on a projector.
In his hand was a portfolio and he opened it up. On the bored and imagine was shown. It was the image if what used to be Hawaii and most if the water surrounding it.
The chain of island now looked like it had been bombed with some type of plague. The island looked to be rotting, but not only was the islands like this, the water and the air was that way as well.
"As you know this is Hawaii or what's left of it. This island randomly started rotting over 23 years ago. There has been many fatalities from researchers, hunters, and even the army that were sent to see what the problem was. Even while using advanced technology and magic the problem wasn't solves." He said as he paused for everything to sink in.
"Now the problem we have is that this rot was expanding. It got so far over the Pacific Ocean that it made its way to the coast of California. The only way that this was stopped, was because we unfortunately had to cut the coast of California off from the US. As you know the construction is still going on today to as the expansion has suddenly stopped."
"Let's get to the point here General." Casper said.
Jackson press a button on a remote and the next image that showed up was the the measurements of the rot since it's zone stopped expanding.
"With this data you can see that the rot is starting to go back towards the center or the starting point. This data also shows that with every inch that's being cleared the toxin from the rot is weakening. I have a plan to assemble a team of Americans S-rank and National rank hunters so we can go and take back Hawaii."
"This is too risky!!"
"That's outrageous!!"
"What'll happen if they all die!?!"
"Everyone be quiet!!" The general said as he released some of his aura. Not only was Jackson a five star general, but he was also a former National rank hunter. After loosing his wife and children he stopped to join the military.
The cause of their deaths are still unknown as the bodies have yet to be found.
"Although this is a decision that seems rash these hunters aren't going along. Over these 23 years do you think we haven't done any research and came up with a counter measure for this rot and toxin? Do you honestly think I would send Americans best to there death with no way of survival?" He said with authority.
"We've come up with technology designed to combat this rot and all it needs is the right amount of mana which I have been supplying to use as a battery." He stated.
"General let me ask you something." The Casper asked.
"What type of benefits will America gain from this operation?" He asked.
"One thing sir." Jackson said. Suddenly everyone in the room had glowing green eyes as he spoke.
"We would be able to obtain a toxin that not even S or National rank hunters could without our technology. We would have the best weapon in times of war and this can be used in dungeons as well." He said as all of their eyes went back to normal.
"I see. Start this operation as soon as possible." Casper said as everyone started getting ready to leave the room.
