"Where am I?"

Around me, a room filled with numerous figures presented itself before my eyes.

┌───── -✧✧- ─────┐

What's that supposed to mean?

That's what I would have answered if I hadn't been playing at UBH....

"So UBH really just got real?"

Grrr....

I could hear the monster roar, but strangely, it didn't scare me.

"I've rehearsed this scene so many times I could beat him in 5s."

But here's the thing...

The aim of this first trial is to rank the hunters. Those who manage to beat him very quickly will be between rank 1 and 50. And these same people will be together in the second round.

"But what if I thought differently?

What if I took my time and finished this trial. That way, if someone else thinks like me, we'll be seen as weak when we're not.

"Far too many people have played the game, so naturally everyone's going to want to finish their challenges quickly to show they're the best."

And that's where seasoned people like me are more likely to want to wait before taking the plunge.

I know this boss by heart. The monster only attacks us when we attack it.

"In summary... If I take a little nap... I won't be embarrassed!"

I then lay down on the ground and thought about everything that had just happened...

"How can this be?"

Gradually, sleep caught up with me and I entered REM sleep...

...

"Where am I again?"

I stood up and reflexively put my hand on my stomach.

"I've got a gaping hole in my abdomen!"

No sooner had I walked than a large puddle of blood came up behind me.

"I feel like I'm on the 11th path."

It wasn't a feeling... I really was on the 11th path! However, something was wrong...

"Why do I find myself hurt?

I had a flash and then started screaming.

"AHAHAHA!"

The monster didn't move.

"I see, it was a dream."

I looked at my watch, I had slept for 7 hours.

"What?! Well. It's high time to finish this challenge."

Just as I was about to attack the boss, a notification appeared.
