Survivors are forced to choose between a horrific death and survival while gaining vastly enhanced abilities and becoming Esper Warriors. In Chapter 001, Cole awakens in a mining tunnel already severely wounded, discovers a system that evolves his skills through absorbing energy from corpses, and faces the immediate threat of a wolf-like monster while teaming up with another gravely injured survivor.","Chapter 001 Dream Core  \nDarkness.  \nA thick, almost tangible darkness pressed in from all sides, the air heavy with a pungent mix of rust, coal dust, and mold.  \nUnder the dim glow of a miner's lamp, Cole could barely make out his surroundings: an underground mining tunnel.  \nLooking at everything in front of him, Cole still struggled to accept it—he had actually fallen into a Dream Core!  \nA nightmare from which you couldn't wake up—that was a Dream Core.  \nFifteen years ago, a bizarre plague swept across the globe, plunging nearly half of humanity into an unending sleep, no matter what was tried to rouse them.  \nMany died in their dreams, but a tiny few survived.  \nAs it turned out, they had entered a trial known as the Dream Core.  \nEither die horribly... or make it out alive—with their physical abilities vastly enhanced, awakening superpowers, and becoming Esper Warriors!  \nFrom that point on, human society entered an era of high-level martial prowess.  \nEvery survivor who emerged from a Dream Core became part of the elite, enjoying extraordinary status and wealth!  \n“Bad luck, sure, but this might just be my chance to turn things around. If I become an Esper Warrior—even just Level 1—I’ll never have to clock in and slave away like a workhorse again...”  \nEvery Level 1 Esper Warrior received a fixed monthly allowance of $100,000 from the High Martial Alliance!  \nNo need to lift a finger—just free money!  \nPlus all the other perks that came with being one of the elite...  \nBecoming an Esper Warrior? In a word: awesome!  \nOf course, you had to risk your life to get it.  \nThe old Cole hadn’t envied them one bit.  \nHe’d rather grind away like a corporate drone.  \nBut now that he was inside a Dream Core, he had no choice but to fight for it.  \nJust as that spark of hope flickered in his chest, Cole suddenly started gasping for air, breaking out in a cold sweat.  \nHe realized that every breath sent waves of tearing pain through his lower left ribs, yet he couldn't stop hyperventilating.  \nWith difficulty, he looked down at his abdomen.  \nHis tattered miner's uniform was ripped open in a huge gash, revealing a wound that had nearly gutted him. Dark, crusted blood had soaked through the fabric and hardened.  \nMaybe because he was a miner in the real world, his starting profession in the Dream Core hadn't changed.  \nBut this starting body was already gravely injured?  \nHoly crap, how the hell am I supposed to survive this?  \n“You from the real world too?”A weak female voice drifted over.  \nHe looked up toward the source.  \nIn the corner barely reached by the miner's lamp, a young woman in work overalls was slumped against the wall, her face pale as paper.  \nHer right leg was bent at an unnatural angle, crudely splinted with two rough wooden sticks and strips of cloth—clearly a fracture. But the most horrifying sight was her left shoulder: her shirt torn away, exposing amangled, bloody mess of flesh.  \nA woman even more badly hurt than me!  \nDamn, she's my teammate?  \nA teammate on the brink of death.  \nSometimes Dream Cores were multiplayer instances.  \nThose runs were usually tougher. You didn't have to keep your teammates alive—as long as you survived, it didn't matter.  \nBut the problem was, adding more “players” ramped up the boss's strength accordingly.  \nIn most cases, teamwork was still better than going solo.  \nNow it was two walking wounded trying to cooperate?  \nWe're just dead weight to each other.  \nThe woman clearly realized the same thing; despair flashed across her face.“You got here before me—what's the danger in this Dream Core?”  \nCole couldn't help asking, while continuing to scan their surroundings.  \nBesides the two of them, there were plenty of miners sprawled on the ground nearby—but they were all dead, their bodies covered in gruesome, ripping wounds.  \nIt looked like they'd been mauled by some kind of ferocious beast. Gruesome didn't even cover it!  \n“I only arrived a few minutes before you.
