Previous Chapter Reminder: Manu transmigrated into a dungeon. Beast Girl and the challengers defeated the boss monster together, but Manu and Beast Girl got stuck in the portal. Beast Girl died… now आगे—
NARRATOR VOICE: Manu wanted to cry, but if he became emotional, he might end up in the same situation. The speed of the portal collapsing increased.
Manu (thought): Am I going to die again? After an embarrassing death… after a toilet death…
NARRATOR VOICE: Manu's breathing slowed down. His eyes slowly began to close.
Manu: I… after… an embarrassing toilet death… can't… die…
NARRATOR VOICE: Suddenly, a yellow-colored light appears… and a voice is heard—
SYSTEM ACTIVATED
Host detected.
Accepted host wish.
Teleportation complete.
NARRATOR VOICE: After 2 hours, Manu regains consciousness.
Manu: What place is this?
[???]: You're awake. Are you feeling better now?
Manu: Yes… but where am I?
[???]: You are currently in Sun Academy.
Manu: Does that mean this is some kind of dungeon area?
[???]: No.
Manu: Okay, Sanji… how did I get here?
[???]: We found you unconscious. We brought you here. Okay, take care… we're leaving now.
Manu (quiet): System activate! System open!
NARRATOR VOICE: Manu looks at the system and says—
THE LATE SYSTEM ACTIVATED
Manu (thought): Dumb system… why did you activate so late? Haa… okay, I get it—the system's name is literally "Late System"…
Okay system, open my status window.
STATUS WINDOW
Host = Manu
Health = 100
Strength = 0
Defence = 1
Speed = 0.4
Spirit Power = 0
Manu (thought): Am I really this weak…?
NARRATOR VOICE: Manu stands up and starts walking outside. Suddenly, he hears a voice—an announcement:
"All new students, get ready. The Sun Academy selection process is about to begin. Those who are interested, register now."
Manu (thought): Academy admission? I don't want that. I don't like studying. In my old life, I only studied… and my whole life was wasted in it. Now I want to give time to myself… I'm not going back into that loop.
NARRATOR VOICE: Suddenly, a system notification appears—
THE LATE SYSTEM
(#!!# System Error Found #!!#)
Host stats are extremely low.
Manu (thought): Is this system joking? I'm not that weak that it shows an error…
EMERGENCY MISSION:
Survive in Sun Academy for 24 hours
REWARD: ???
PENALTY: Death
Manu (thought): Is this system crazy…? This is a do-or-die situation. Why is this mission so weird?
It wants me to survive inside the academy… but only students are allowed there… if I get caught, they'll beat me to death… and if I don't go, the system will kill me…
This system has gone mad… it's indirectly saying—"Manu, just commit suicide…"
On one side, the system… on the other side, the academy… no matter where I go, there's only death…
NARRATOR VOICE: Manu walks out of the room. People are staring at him intensely, as if he committed some crime while being unconscious. As Manu moves forward, a counter girl stops him.
Counter Girl: Here, take this form. If you want to participate in the test, fill it.
Manu: Don't you think you're wasting time asking everyone? The announcement is already done—whoever is interested will come on their own.
Counter Girl: I'm sorry… it's my first day…
MISSION UPDATE
ENTER TEST
NARRATOR VOICE: Manu takes the form and fills it.
Counter Girl: Thank you.
Manu (thought): This system has gone crazy… this is suicide…
But now the real game has started…
Come on, baby… let's do it…
This time, I won't die in 2 second time...
