It's Like a Game Jin-woo wakes up after three days of sleep, initially thinking that he might have only dreamed the events of the double-dungeon. Investigators from the Hunters Association confirm that it really did happen - Joo-hee is traumatized, and Chi-yul is reportedly retiring after losing his arm- and check to see if Jin-woo experienced the very rare "second awakening", in which a Hunter experiences an increase in ability. The test results come back negative. Jin-woo discovers a message similar to the one that declared him a player, with daily goals to hit and a penalty for failing to complete them. After skipping the first day and nearly dying when he is thrown into a penalty quest, Jin-woo begins completing his daily goals. He receives stat bonuses and loot boxes, which result in him receiving a special item - an instance dungeon key. He enters and is confronted by a wolf monster stronger than anything he had fought before.
