DNF Invades Marvel
Luke, a Dungeon Fighter Online enthusiast, was reborn in the Marvel universe as a seven-year-old elementary school student, and gained access to the DNF system. Then there was Octopus Lotus, claiming to be the incarnation of an Apostle and his guide—chatty, cunning, and sly. The mission he assigned was to spread the glory of the Apostles throughout Marvel. To put it bluntly, they were to stir up trouble and invade. Luke said, “I need dollars to open loot boxes. If I draw skills, I’ll become stronger. I want to get a job.” Lotus replied, “Let’s just rob an armored truck!” Luke considered, “Building a good relationship with Tony Stark could help us spread the glory of the Apostles.” Lotus countered, “Then let’s blow up Stark Tower!” When the Chitauri invaded Earth, Luke exclaimed, “The Chitauri are invading! Let’s give them a hand.” Lotus announced, “Beep, system quest issued: help the Chitauri blow up Building Five. Reward: a full National Day gift set.” Luke agreed, “Let’s do it!”

Breath of Aura!
It dropped! At long last, it dropped!
Excitedly, he maneuvered his character to pick up the item. Yet, he found himself unable to grab it.
What was happening? His fingers frantically hammered at the keyboard, but the Breath of Aura on the ground remained unresponsive.
Disconnected? Punished?
Luke clutched his monitor, utterly distraught. “No way! I’ve waited three years—three years for a chance to enter the raid, and now the heavens treat me like this?”
Thunder rolled outside, a bolt of lightning streaked past the window. Suddenly, the computer screen went black, the lights in the room went out, and darkness engulfed the space.
A loud crash echoed inside, and the air gradually filled with the scent of burning.
But Luke could no longer
