E-rank Hunter Sung Jinwoo is trapped in a deadly double dungeon and nearly dies. He is the only survivor. As he lies dying, a mysterious "System" interface appears and offers him a Player stat window — he is the only person in the world who can level up.
Jinwoo accepts his first proper System quest and begins the rapid stat growth that will define the series. The distance between an E-rank Hunter and a genuinely dangerous combatant closes in days.
Jinwoo faces a mutated ant boss that exceeds the raid's rated difficulty. His power level — now far above any registered rank — becomes impossible to hide. The hunter community begins to notice that something unusual is happening.
Jinwoo unlocks his Shadow Extraction ability and raises the corpses of his enemies as shadow soldiers — a permanent army that grows with every battle. The Necromancer class reveals its full potential and Jinwoo becomes something more than a Hunter.
