Synopsis
Jonah Park is an ordinary young man with an ordinary life, marked by quiet routines and evenings of solitary training around his town. But one night, while enjoying some simple meatloaves in front of the television, a mysterious scroll bursts into his reality, proclaiming: “The chosen one has been... you.” From that moment on, his world is completely transformed. An invisible and merciless system forces him to complete daily quests or face “The Penance,” an unknown punishment that stalks him like a shadow. His body begins to change, his strength multiplies, and a fanged dagger appears in his hand, ready to hunt... even what doesn't seem like a threat. When Jonah wakes up in a snow-covered world, with no trace of his home or his city, he understands that there is no turning back. Now he must survive in an icy dimension, guided only by quests, statistics, and enemies hidden behind digital projections. Each creature he eliminates, each wound he heals, brings him one step closer to something greater. His body evolves, his mind adapts... but his soul is on the edge of the abyss. Who designed this system? Why was he chosen? And what exactly is the Golden Dawn, that word that begins to repeat itself in dreams and visions? When his level reaches a new threshold, Jonah understands that this is not just a game. It's a war. And he's not the only player.

Chapter 1 - 1 - Fear appears

As usual, a young man who was approximately 17-18 years old, rode through his city every evening between 18:00 and 19:00 PM.

Also, in his runs he would do five minutes of speed, that is to say, at any moment of his run he would do an extremely fast speed jump, he knew how to control his emotions and impulses so it was very easy for him to increase his adrenaline to the maximum and run with all his strength. And of course, people who saw him running through the streets were impressed by how he could run so fast because he was so relaxed and then he would suddenly go crazy.

At this time it is winter, therefore, the young man was dressed in warm clothes, pants that from the waist to the knee were wide and from the knee to the ankle were tight, he also brought a compression shirt and a wool jacket that matched his pants, besides this he brought a scarf to the middle of his neck that covered his nose and his throat. Once he slowed down and started jogging, he went up to the sidewalk and from there up a flight of stairs that led up a small hill.

Once he stopped he bent down, took off his scarf and began to breathe deeply through his nose, trying to relax from how exhausted he was, he took a couple of steps and found his house, he went inside, took off the pair of shoes he was wearing, went to the refrigerator and took out a can of soda? He drank it quietly, went to the living room to look for the control and turn on the TV, as soon as he found it he turned on the news channel, for him nothing interesting had happened, but you can see how they are interviewing a man covered with dark clothes, so he turns off the TV and lies down on the couch.

In the living room there was no sound, everything was quiet, the only thing that could be heard was the relaxing breathing and heartbeat.

After several minutes the young man got up quickly, his breathing increased rapidly, he looked everywhere, he was alert, his senses increased too much, he was able to hear the "tiktak" of the hands of the not so small wall clock that was on top of the television. The young man calmed down, got up from the sofa and went to his room, organized the clothes he was going to wear and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

He came out of the bathroom rubbing a towel in his hair trying to dry his hair well, his hair is neither too short nor too long, dark medium blue, he came out with another towel covering his waist and without a shirt, he has a robust torso, from a distance you can see his marked abs.

-Eff... Finally I can rest* The young man threw himself on the bed of his room after a big yawn he fell deeply asleep.

By the time he returned home it was approximately 22:30 pm by the time he fell asleep it was 23:10 pm.

-Look, here's another cheaper one, huh? This brand must be new, I've never seen it before, it's okay, I'll take it.

The young man was glad to find another cheaper brand of milk, he kept looking for something else to eat in the supermarket.

-Chips? Apparently they are also new, they are different from the ones before, are they made of meat? Look at you, this will fill me up a lot, I'll take 4 to try, let's see how they taste.

The young man took the 4 meat buns and went to the cash register, there was a woman collecting the products, once she charged him what the young man was going to take...

-Wouldn't you like some fruit young man? They are on sale, there is a lot of variety, it would do you good to eat some fresh fruit at the beginning of the day?

-I see The young man turned around and went to the crates that were filled with lots of fruit.

-I just didn't want to eat fruit today, but I'll take a mango and a kilo of peaches.

The young man took the fruit to the woman and gave it to her to weigh.

-Well, a kilo of young peaches and two and a half kilos of mango, the mango is very ripe, I hope you enjoy it, young man.

-Yes, yes I will. It's my favorite fruit, Madam.

-I'm glad, it would be 46 silver coins, young man.

The young man paid and went back to his house. When he arrived he hurriedly took the meat buns out of the bag.

-I'm starving, let's see how these buns are.

The young man put the 4 buns on a plate and went to eat them on the sofa, before sitting down he turned on the TV.

-Let's see what's on the news…

The young man took a bun, directed it to his mouth slowly, not so slowly, and took a bite of the bun, as soon as he chewed it, his impressed face showed how fantastic he was.

How tasty, they are very tasty

Suddenly.

The TV was turned off… a glowing light illuminated in front of the young man, from it something slowly came out… What came out was a parchment that was held high in the air, as if it were a game. On it, spots began to show up in the center of the scroll, these formed symbols…. Five words were displayed on the scroll.

"The chosen one... has been... you.".

The confused and frightened young man turned back from the couch, the young man who had fallen to the floor, stood up, walked towards the scroll.

-What the fuck?"

He didn't even give the young man time to finish the sentence and a light coming from the scroll covered the entire living room.…

-What? What? What happened? What was that?

The young man was lying on the floor of the living room covering his eyes with his hands, as the light was hurting his eyesight.

When he got up he could see that the TV was on, confused he looked around, saw the buns and went to them, with a penetrating look, with his mouth open and saliva dripping down, he ate them quickly.

-I'm so hungry, my stomach is empty, I can't take any more.
