Introduction of the story :-
Riven: was on his knees. All strength had left his body. Severely injured — his hands trembled. Every breath brought pain… every second felt like death.
His vision was blurry. Bodies were scattered all around — his own teammates.
In front of him… A whole wave of monsters — their eyes bloodthirsty.
Riven: was gasping. Tears fell from his eyes, but in his heart, there was only one face — his little sister's.
> Riven (in a pained voice): "My luck was cursed." "Who would've thought… that a hidden gate would exist inside a D-rank dungeon…" "And that the monster inside this gate would be no less than an A-rank hunter…" "And me… I only came here to earn money for my sister's treatment…"
> "I only needed money… just enough to get her operated and repay the loan…"
> "Other than her… I have no one left in this world…"

FLASHBACK
A small girl, only 5 years old, was holding Riven's hand. Her name was Lyra. Her face was glowing under the sunlight — full of innocence.
> Lyra: "Brother… where did mom and dad go?"
Riven paused, looked at her… and thought —
> "How can I tell her the truth… that our parents were killed by monsters during a dungeon break…"
His eyes had tears, but he forced a smile.
> Riven: "They went outside… to earn money. They'll be back soon."
> Lyra (innocently): "Really, brother?"
> Riven: "Yes… and until they come back, I'm here with you."
> Lyra: "Then okay… until mommy and daddy return… I'll take care of you, okay!"
Riven gently nodded — but in his heart, pain was buried… deep and silent.

Car Accident – Hospital
One day, suddenly, a car accident happened. His sister's body suffered serious injuries. Doctors said — internal damage.
> Doctor: "We must operate immediately… otherwise, her life is at risk."
> Riven: "Doctor, please… do whatever it takes, save my sister!"
> Doctor: "The operation will cost 2 lakh won."
> Riven: "Okay doctor… start the surgery. I'll arrange the money."
> Doctor: "This surgery will save her life, but to fully recover, she'll need another operation." "That can be done after some time, but don't delay too much — or things could get worse."
> Riven: "I'll do it."
Riven took a loan immediately, 2 lakh won. He got the surgery done — her life was saved, but the second operation was still pending.
That day, Riven made a vow — "No matter what, I will bring money!"
That's why… he joined this dungeon raid as a supporter. He was promised 2 lakh won for this mission.

Back to Present – Dungeon Scene
Every moment felt like Riven's last.
> Riven (with tears): "Lyra… forgive me… I couldn't keep you happy…" "And now… I'm leaving you behind…"
The monster was slowly moving toward him. Riven closed his eyes… then suddenly screamed:
> "NO!"
> "I'm not that weak!" "I can't lose!" "My sister is waiting for me!"
Riven ran toward the monster — roaring, screaming…
> Riven: "I WON'T LET ANYONE GO!!"
The monster charged too — and with one strike, it slashed Riven into two.
Blood… splattered everywhere.
> Riven (dying): "Forgive me… mom… dad…" "I couldn't protect Lyra…" "Lyra… forgive me… I'm leaving you alone…"
Everything… went silent.

White Space – After Death
A white space. Riven was walking — confused, broken.
> Riven: "What is this place…? Feels like I'm in… heaven?"
Then he saw his mom and dad in the distance. Riven ran and hugged them — tears streaming from his eyes.
> Riven: "Forgive me… I couldn't take care of Lyra…"
His parents placed their hands on his head.
> Mother: "Son… it's not over yet…" "Your sister… she's still waiting for you…"
Riven was shocked…
> Riven: "What are you saying…?"
His parents stepped back. A light… a force — started pulling Riven back…

Final Shot – Dungeon Shockwave
Riven's body lay inside the dungeon — Suddenly, a light burst from his chest.
A powerful shockwave exploded. The entire dungeon shook. All monsters — reduced to ashes in the blast.

Hospital Scene
Riven lay in a hospital bed. His eyes opened — breath fast, eyes wide with confusion.
> Riven (in shock): "I'm… alive…?" "Was everything I saw… a dream?" "But… how did I end up in a hospital?"
