[Global Dungeon Emergence Increases by 150%… Unprecedented Expansion Rate.]

[Experts Warn: “Dungeon Overload Cycle Shortens” – A Catastrophic Crisis Unfolds.]

[Simultaneous Crises Across Asia, Europe, and Africa!]

The rapid acceleration of dungeon appearances made peaceful days feel like a distant memory, as though they had never truly existed. It was as if the world stood on the brink, with the metaphorical dam holding back disaster ready to burst at any moment.

Hunters worldwide were forced to raid dungeons without rest, and in Korea, it was no different. Day and night, raids continued.

In this climate, no dungeon—regardless of its rank—could be dismissed as harmless. Humanity stood at a crossroads of survival.

And then, the event that everyone had dreaded finally occurred.

A dungeon of unmeasurable rank emerged.

Its location? Korea.

“Even with equipment designed for SS-rank dungeons, we couldn’t determine its exact level.”

“It’s likely the worst dungeon in history, surpassing all previous records. This is nothing short of a catastrophe.”

The news featured an expert with a grave expression, explaining the dire situation in Korea. His voice was calm and resolute, but the furrows in his brow and the tension in his features betrayed his unease.

“One strange detail is that since this dungeon’s emergence, the previously rampant dungeon appearances have suddenly subsided.”

“Experts are divided on the implications of this phenomenon.”

As the expert continued his explanation in a measured tone, a breaking news banner flashed across the bottom of the screen.

[(Breaking News) Jeong Si-Hyun’s Team Declares Raid on the Unmeasurable Dungeon!]

The broadcast split into two screens.

On one side, the scene showed officials frantically moving around the gate’s perimeter. Security guards blocked vehicles, soldiers quickly deployed, and the sound of hurried footsteps added to the tension.

On the other side, the camera captured Jeong Si-Hyun’s team preparing to enter the gate. They adjusted their gear in silence, exuding a focused calm.

“As you can see, the area around the dungeon is on high alert!” the reporter said in an urgent voice.@@novelbin@@

“Just moments ago, Hunter Jeong Si-Hyun’s team announced their intention to raid the dungeon! This dungeon is not merely dangerous—it is considered an unprecedented disaster.”

The reporter gestured toward the footage of Si-Hyun’s team.

“The current footage shows Jeong Si-Hyun and her team preparing. Known as the ‘Saint,’ she has successfully cleared multiple SS-rank dungeons in the past. However, this mission is far more dangerous and critical than anything she has faced before.”

The camera zoomed in on Si-Hyun and her teammates, capturing their resolute expressions. The reporter’s voice wavered as he continued.
