Somewhere in the state of Arizona, United States
Inside a dungeon, there is a person spamming fire spells. The dungeon interior was a cavern, filled with giant ants.
It was an ant colony, but with 2-meter-long ants.
The scene was straight out of an RPG game, and it seemed like the person spamming fire spells was a veteran player.
His movements were swift and precise, and his spells caused the ants to screech in agony as they were incinerated.
The person using the fire spells was Alex, a hunter who had been hired to clear out the dungeon.
He had been a B-ranked hunter for years, but his skills had always been mediocre at best.
However, as he made his way deeper into the dungeon, his team began to notice a significant increase in his strength and agility.
The team was amazed by the sudden boost in Alex's power.
He moved like a dancer, fluidly dodging the ants' attacks while throwing fireballs that incinerated them in an instant.
They couldn't help but wonder what had caused this sudden transformation in their friend.
As they proceeded through the dungeon, Alex continued to demonstrate his newfound abilities, effortlessly taking down the giant ants with ease.
His team soon discovered the cause of his newfound strength.
They found out that he had somehow been blessed with a magical power that gave him the superhuman capabilities necessary to survive in such an environment.
They couldn't figure out the cause, and they could only guess.
Was it a miracle or some other form of divine intervention that had granted Alex this extraordinary power?
Or was it something else entirely, some mysterious force that had endowed him with these remarkable abilities?
The team could only speculate as to the source of Alex's extraordinary abilities, but they all agreed that whatever it was, it had granted him a unique and remarkable power.
Whatever the cause, one thing was clear: Alex's powers were a force to be reckoned with.
With Alex's powers, the team might be able to accomplish the seemingly impossible, a record breaking clear time for C-rank dungeon.
They were determined to take on the Giant Ant Queen, the nest of the dungeon's boss monster, which was a 10-meter-cubic monster that guarded the dungeon core.
As they arrived at the nest, the team readied themselves for battle, confident that with Alex's powers, they had a chance of success.
Alex signaled the team, and one team member fired a magic arrow to distract the Ant Queen.
While the Queen was distracted, three members with shields rushed forward to make a perimeter between the main damage dealers and the boss monster.
Alex and the rest of the team, some were mages, some were carrying RPG rocket launchers, prepared to fire their spells and rockets.
The rest of the team moved forward and took their positions, readying themselves for battle as needed.
Everyone was ready, and the team launched their attacks.
Alex fired a massive and continuous fireball, while two other mages fired weaker fire and lightning spells.
The RPG rocket launchers, manned by the rest of the team, opened fire, barrages of missiles and rockets streaming into the enemy monster.
The enemy monster was engulfed in flames and smoke, but it still managed to fight on.
Despite some damage to the monster, it was not enough to finish it off.
Alex unleashed a blast of pure power, blasting the monster with the force of a supernova.
The cave was shaken by this act of violence, and the monster was completely destroyed, leaving a path of destruction and chaos in its wake.
Alex's team was shocked, as this was not the power of a B-ranked hunter.
Alex had far exceeded their expectations, and shown himself to be a force to be reckoned with.
Alex had transcended the ranks and demonstrated a power that no one could deny.
The Weakest Cooper was no more.
Those words echoed in Alex's mind as he sat in his room, thinking about how far he had come.
No longer was he the hunter that everyone looked down upon, the one that people dismissed as weak and insignificant.
Alex had finally proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with.
He had defeated countless monsters and completed difficult missions that even some A-ranked hunters would have struggled with.
His former companions and allies watched in awe as Alex emerged as a strong, competent hunter.
They congratulated him on his success, but there were some who were not as happy as the ones that believed in him.
The ones that despised Alex felt jealous and angry.
They attempted to sabotage him in any way possible, hoping to bring him down and prove that he was not as great as he seemed.
Alex knew this and stayed quiet, watching as his siblings' pawns tried to infiltrate his team, to make sure Alex wasn't aiming for guild ownership.
They were planted by his siblings, who were vying for control of the Ditat Deus Guild.
Alex was curious to find out what their plans were and how far they would go to get what they wanted.
One day, Alex's team members began to praise him, commenting on how he had gained so much power in such a short amount of time.
Their words were subtle, leading to questioning on how Alex had accomplished so much.
This caused Alex to be a bit on edge as he wasn't sure if the spies were trying to gain his trust or if they were up to something else.
Despite this feeling of unease, Alex maintained his demeanor, giving a polite response but not allowing himself to be overly friendly or trusting.
But Alex didn't really care, he was intrigued by the system's message.
The same system that had made this possible.
Especially when the system revealed that the dungeon had an owner when he had cleared it back then.
[Congratulations, all requirements have been met!]
>You have subdued a dungeon belonging to God Karyon.
>You have killed God Karyon's minions.
>You have used Karyon's dungeon core in the system to improve your status.
>You have used the mana stone of Karyon's minions in the system to upgrade your status.
[You have been given a special mission]
Greetings, Alexander Cooper. I am the creator of this revolutionary system, and you have been chosen as its first test user because of your outstanding performance and your ability to keep the system a secret. I have a special mission for you, one that will set you on the path to greater power and responsibility. Are you up to the challenge?
As a reward for your excellent work, I want you to form your own guild. This will be your chance to test your leadership skills and build a community of like-minded individuals. Once your guild is established, you will be granted access to the public version of the new system as an administrator. I must warn you, however, that this version will have some limitations, including a leveling feature unlike the one you had. But I believe you are up to the challenge.
If you accept this mission, you will have the opportunity to give a system to another person. And every time the user of the system that you have given increases his power, you will receive 1% of his power. This is a chance for you to expand your influence and make a real difference in this world.
Of course, if you do not want to accept this mission, that is your choice. In that case, you will simply forget that you were ever given the opportunity to join this system. But I believe that you are a person of great potential, and I hope that you will take this opportunity.
"Whoa, so I can give a system to other people?"
"Of course I accept! I wanted to start my own guild anyway!"
"And also thank you for putting your trust in me."
