Chapter 15: Final Mission
---
The dark, humid corridors of the ant nest pulsed with life and decay. Kai’s chitinous body shuddered as he stretched his legs, his antennae twitching in anticipation. His goal was set: reach Level 10 before the deadline. The system had promised power, and Kai was determined to claim it, no matter what trials lay ahead.
[Ding! System notifications: Host you have a new problem. The exit route is blocked. A new mission has been assigned.

Reward: Massive EXP Boost]
Kai’s mandibles clicked in frustration. He had just finished dealing with waves of enemies, and now the system had dropped an area boss mission on him. "Figures," he muttered. "No rest for the wicked, huh?"
But deep inside, excitement burned alongside the fatigue. If this was the trial standing between him and Level 10, he would tear through it.
Now, with Level 5 status glowing on his interface, Kai’s determination only deepened. He had come too far to falter now. The next tunnel beckoned with unknown dangers, and every challenge that lay ahead was another opportunity to push past his limits. His muscles still throbbed with the raw power of absorbed essence, his mind sharp with an unfaltering will.
