Kang Haeshik/History

## Team Hunter

### Grow (Arc)

After awakening with The Awaker in April 2030, the multi-talented and no Skills novice F Rank Mana User Kang Haeshik was immediately applied for admissions into South Korea User Association Academy, aka the KSA or the Academy.

As the third place of Jin Jeongdo's Academy April 29, 2030 admissions exam, Haeshik actively communicated with the first place Jeongdo and the second place Yoon Seoyoon. By the final, fourth week of the one month course, Haeshik acknowledged Jeongdo as his "Hyung-nim".

By May 26, 2030, because of his emotional insensitivity and straightforwardness that ruined Seoyoon's various attempts to woo his "Hyung-nim", Seoyoon had a Mana Virtual mock spar with him through taijutsu.

Because he possesses a huge strong body and an initial Shield Technique Lv.2 talent, Haeshik chose the tanker path specializing in taijutsu, armors and shields. With his abilities, he can generally tank several monsters of the same Rank as himself or one higher Rank alone.

### Boss Dungeon (Arc)

On May 27, 2030, Haeshik and his "Hyung-nim" took part in the Academy's 1 month course's final test as part of Team B. However, due to the dungeon fraud of a Karma-related Seeker, their classmates and B Rank instructor entered an originally thought to be an E Rank Annihilation dungeon became a mutated A Rank Boss type. During the clearance, F Rank Haeshik with the Academy's provided shield could easily tank E Rank monsters, but was pushed back by a D Rank Orc.

Haeshik witnessed his "Hyung-nim" show strength and abilities beyond A Rank and was seriously misunderstood his "Hyung-nim" as a disguised high Rank user. But, after having his conjecture denied by his "Hyung-nim", he is motivated to obtain his first Skill.

As a member of the Team B party, Haeshik gained experience and leveled up for the first time after the death of the mutated A Rank Boss type Orc Lord and the previous series of D Rank Orc minions. He attained close to D Rank stats and the qualifications for the Korean User Association's B Rank entitlement.

### Dungeon Break (Arc)

Due to the dungeon mutation's consequences, the graduation ceremony that was to be held three days later on May 30, 2030 after the final test was postponed by a day.

On graduation day May 31, 2030, Haeshik honestly revealed to his "Hyung-nim" that he went to The Awaker to update the day before today, and he obtained his first Skill from the first level up (Level 2+). However, his "Hyung-nim" stopped him from revealing his Skill even if he trusts him, for protection. Haeshik also received a final mock spar with the angry Seoyoon.

After graduation, Haeshik obtained his first personal equipment, his First Shield that can last until C Rank.

Because of his "Hyung-nim" had good morality, "Hyung-nim" never used Observation on Haeshik, unlike for Seo Sanghui to see her Trust talent, until their first public team dungeon clearance on June 5, 2030.

Three days after the graduation ceremony, his "Hyung-nim" went to the Gangnam district to deal with a man-made dungeon break. Two days later on June 5, 2030, his "Hyung-nim" completed the Association's B Rank entitlement exam, tested by instructor Jang Chulsan.

### Mars (Arc)

Haeshik met his "Hyung-nim" with Seoyoon thirty minutes after his "Hyung-nim" passed the Association's B Rank exam. Haeshik was one of the few people his "Hyung-nim" found reliable as a team mate.

With Seoyoon and his "Hyung-nim", Haeshik officially cleared the E Rank Annihilation dungeon from five days ago when he bought after the final test as a celebration party. This is his first dungeon as a team with his "Hyung-nim" as the captain. His "Hyung-nim" used the dungeon to arouse their declined fighting mentality. The chosen E Rank dungeon had the hidden characteristic of improving the user's level up.

After clearing the dungeon, Haeshik went to update his Mana Watch at The Awaker and became certified for the Association's E Rank entitlement.

### SS (Arc)

The next day June 6, 2030, Haeshik was lively enough to call his "Hyung-nim" at 5:37am. His "Hyung-nim" felt it would be soon for "Hyung-nim" to reveal his Observation skill to Haeshik and Seoyoon. Haeshik, with his team, cleared their second dungeon. It was a D Rank Annihilation dungeon he bought with his money again, but this time with his "Hyung-nim" appraising the beneficial one. This dungeon was cleared in less than 2 hours and Haeshik experienced the high tanking ability of his "Hyung-nim". He became certified for the Association's D Rank entitlement. He is under level 10.

Haeshik also invited his team members to his home. His brother is revealed to be the 9th SS Rank Mana User, Kang Haejoon, the source of his vast pocket money. On the same day, Haeshik learns about his "Hyung-nim" as the previous pro-gamer Lightway before February 20, 2022. He also learns that Seoyoon and his brother are the top two fans of his "Hyung-nim" from the pro-gamer period.

The next day June 7, 2030, Haeshik and his team cleared another D Rank dungeon.

### Ego (Arc)

Due to the June 8, 2030 Seo Sanghui assassination incident, "Hyung-nim" was too tired and gave the day off to Haeshik and Seoyoon. During the next two days, the team began clearing more D Rank dungeons to later reach the Association's C Rank. Haeshik's team have been clearing hidden information D Rank dungeons so far, most improve levels.

At their second D Rank Annihilation dungeon clearance on the June 10, 2030, Haeshik and his "Hyung-nim" saw Seoyoon knee crotch crush the Boss monster. Both men freaked out. After the dungeon was cleared within 3 hours, the team went to go shopping for the first time together. Haseik aimed for new armor and subsidiary equipment. He showed his vast wealthy pocket money to buy all when he became indecisive. He received his "Hyung-nim" Observation assistance during the appraisal.

After shopping, Haeshik went to update his Mana Watch at The Awaker and helped register the new B Rank dungeon "Death Aura Filled Jail" his "Hyung-nim" discovered and went to clear.

His "Hyung-nim" secretly bought a top quality B Rank shield for 5 million won. It was a later gift for Haeshik.

### Second Cataclysm (Arc)

With the initial outbreak of the Second Great Cataclysm on June 12, 2030, C-D Rank Haeshik and Seoyoon lacked the ability and strength to team clear B Rank dungeons. Therefore, Haejoon took Haeshik overseas to experience hell training. Staying in Korea, Seoyoon trained to improve her mastery over her new Skills as a Saintess. "Hyung-nim" worked hard to discover information about Ditarteron and prepared to defeat him.

On July 28, 2030, his "Hyung-nim" awakened the thought to establish his own guild, thereby, not be constrained when dealing for crises. It has been over two months since his "Hyung-nim" met Lu Bu in the First Battle (Arc).

With his brother's Crafting Lv.1 talent, Haeshik's equipment could extend their life shelf until after the hell training.

### Green Capsule (Arc)

By August ##, 2030, Haeshik survived his brother's guided hell training, skipped twenty levels and reached level 38 under the experience penalty. His stats was solidified at the Association's C Rank. They returned before the Ditarteron Raid, with his brother Haejoon called to the Association earlier that day to be aerial strength while his "Hyung-nim" aided the navy. After the meeting, his "Hyung-nim" borrowed their Kang family home's basement blacksmith workshop to forge a Myth Rank item, the Twin Dragon Swords (Ssanglyong-geom), to battle Ditarteron.

The next day after Ditarteron's defeat, Haeshik received a morning call from his "Hyung-nim", who planned the current afternoon to team clear a C Rank Annihilation dungeon. B Rank and higher dungeons were excluded because of the intelligent monsters that appeared. It might be a little hard for Haeshik and Seoyoon, excluding "Hyung-nim".

During that afternoon, Haeshik is gifted a new shield. It was the B Rank shield bought by his "Hyung-nim" during their first shopping trip back in early June. The better shield arrived in good fortune, because Haeshik's First Shield has reached its lifespan since he was an E Rank (and due to the Shield Stun skill). The C Rank dungeon was cleared after a few hours. Haeshik's current tanking limit was three Blood Boars, the most difficult C Rank monster. Haeshik dealt the final blow to the boss monster.

The next day, the team cleared another C Rank Annihilation dungeon, an undead type with a Skeleton General boss, the toughest C Rank boss. During the fight with the Skeleton General, Haeshik and his "Hyung-nim" became shocked by Seoyoon's solo ruthless and violent taijutsu combo. Afterwards, Haeshik went to update his Mana Watch at The Awaker and became certified for the Association's C Rank entitlement. He also became astonished by his abnormal power leveling. This is due to his "Hyung-nim" using the Command talent to hasten the clearance and Kaumka's Fighting Spirit skill to remove the experience penalty. His "Hyung-nim" received a Special Mission dungeon information the day before and Haeshik was requested to register it after the team cleared this C Rank dungeon.

The day of the Special Mission dungeon is a month since Haeshik first invited "Hyung-nim" to visit his house.

### The Right Way (Arc)

By the end of the Title (Arc), his "Hyung-nim" was in a Special Mission dungeon for less than a week. After clearing the dungeon, his "Hyung-nim" also became a liaison between the Association and the Realizer group.

From the day the Special Mission dungeon ended, Haeshik successfully tempted his "Hyung-nim" to stay at his home with their top training equipment while Haejoon is abroad for a week. Until his brother returned, Haeshik's team cleared C Rank dungeons during the daily afternoon.

Prior to his "Hyung-nim" traveling to Japan, Haeshik acted to his request. He went to the Association to complete a guild registration with four people listed.

### Adversary (Arc)

By the time the SS Rank Saintess was rescued, Haeshik had learned about his "Hyung-nim" fainted from overwork. He had fulfilled his "Hyung-nim" requested guild registration. The clearing of the Demon Army 7th Legion SSS Rank dungeon allowed the world to lose its experience penalty.

With the gradual pre-rise of the Tertiary Great Cataclysm, Haeshik and Seoyoon are invited by his "Hyung-nim" to Mount Fuji, Japan to hunt in his temporary special open field workshop (dungeon - Spot) and benefit from the temporary experience buff brought by the lift of the experience penalty. The workshop current spawns monsters without intelligence, even Ogres difficult for S Rank tankers to block do appear. More experience, better drop items.

When entering a dungeon, the appearance of an Ogre meant that the user had a high probability of dying. Even if that party was made up of A Rank veterans and above.

The teammates also learn about "Hyung-nim" possessing the Observation skill, inducing rapid progress. Especially Haeshik, who constantly pesters his "Hyung-nim" after every fight to know his level up without running to The Awaker. After the initial few days lead by his "Hyung-nim", Haeshik jumps from the level 40's to level 61 with the stats solidified at the Association's B Rank.

He also becomes acquainted with the wolf 'pup' Tinia, whom Seoyoon bribes with meaty treats. He and Seoyoon met the SS Rank mana user "Saintess" of France before her departure.

### Big Monster (Arc)

On the day his "Hyung-nim" temporarily returned to Korea, his "Hyung-nim" registered Seoyoon in secret as the supplementary owner of the Model Mount Fuji Ball, allowing her to keep the ball and to have limited control over the Mount Fuji Spot until his return. His "Hyung-nim" left Tinia with them to secretly protect them from encountering an Ogre equivalent creature, an S Rank monster. The day before, Haeshik earned Seoyoon's and Tinia's anger with a foolish comment about the female preferences of his "Hyung-nim".

Two days after the Mount Fuji Spot appeared, Haeshik's brother Haejoon left for the United States after receiving a request from Elle McDowell.

### Crafting (Arc)

With Haejoon abroad in the United States and Haeshik himself in Japan, "Hyung-nim" requested to leave his luggage at their home and use their basement workshop the day after he returned to Korea. The same day, his "Hyung-nim" returned to Japan and supported them while the team cleared A Rank monsters. "Hyung-nim" did not participate in the battle in order to maximize the party members' combat senses. After a fun roll in the Jeongdo workshop (a Spot) since "Hyung-nim" temporarily returned to Korea, Haesik's levels had went up alot. Haeshik could no longer be pushed back by a A Rank monster. His "Hyung-nim" had gained the Crafting Lv.3 talent during his return trip to Korea, allowing him to make good equipment fit for Haeshik and Seoyoon.

The following day after reuniting with his "Hyung-nim", his "Hyung-nim" cleared the unsealed SSS Rank boss monster Yamata-no-Orochi, aka Orochi, of Japan.

### Reunion (Arc)

Two days after defeating Orochi, the Mount Fuji workshop (Spot) began spawning intelligent monsters and the barrier became thin, therefore, his SSS Rank "Hyung-nim" took the team to experience intelligent monsters while experiencing top A Rank combat. By four days after the Orochi incident, Haeshik and Seoyoon have reached the necessary levels certifiable for the Association's revised A Rank entitlement.

After those four days, the Mount Fuji Spot was closed by the team. Haeshik returned to South Korea with his teammates and the wolf Tinia. He also bragged to his "Hyung-nim" glorified in the Japanese newspaper.

The day after returning to Korea, Haeshik names the newly founded guild, the SSS Guild after his "Hyung-nim", the first SSS Rank Mana User. The SSS Guild's founding member are: Jin Jeongdo, Yoon Seoyoon, Kang Haeshik and Choi Cheolyoon.

10 days before the Tertiary Great Cataclysm, the SSS Guild members are informed of Jeongdo's skills. Haeshik obtained the alert of the next Great Cataclysm: Otherworld Invasion-Erosion. The experience buff began to decline until the 10 days ended.

## SSS Guild Hunter

### Tertiary Evolution (Arc)

During the 10 days before the Tertiary Great Cataclysm, Kang Haeshik and the other guild members worked hard to level up to benefit from the yet-to-end experience buff while his "Hyung-nim" adapted to his newly forge dwarves made armor.

By the first day of the Tertiary Great Cataclysm, Hasehik had his stats solidified at the Association's S Rank,

Haeshik meets his "Hyung-nim" at the same departure spot during his scheduled patrol, five days after "Hyung-nim" entered the SSS Rank Special Annihilation dungeon on the Taebaek mountains.

### Swag (Arc)

The day after "Hyung-nim" returned, Haeshik became happy again because the guild has permanently become the SSS Guild. Beyond fourteen days have passed, therefore, Jeongdo could no long change the embarrassing guild name. The three SSS Guild members see off their guild leader on his expedition to the Demon World.

### Spot (Arc)

His "Hyung-nim" made an international call to Seoyoon to update on the SSS Guild and out of worry for the Saintess. Haeshik's crybaby experience out of worry for "Hyung-nim" was reported to his "Hyung-nim".

It is noted in the Return (Arc), over two weeks have passed since his "Hyung-nim" returned from the Demon World. A week before, "Jesus" appeared from the Spot in England and "Merlin" was cursed into a deep sleep. The SS Rank Saintess disappared three days before. This event became international news that even Haeshik knew.

The next day, his "Hyung-nim" worried how the SSS Guild solely revolved around the guild leader "Triple S" and might fall under others' control like the Knights of the Round Table Guild lead by "Arthur".

### Iksia (Arc)

Because Jeongdo partied with the SS Rank "Saintess" of the Present Era and top tanker "Arthur" of Britain to the Dullahan dungeon, Seoyoon and Haeshik will obtain third party SS Rank tactical knowledge of their respective combat paths for reference when they grow up later. However, the SS Rank boss Dullahan Lord mutinized and teleported "Hyung-nim" to another dimension, Iksia's homeworld in the 11th Universe.

### Elle McDowell (Arc)

In Iksia's homeworld, "Hyung-nim" found three skill stones.

His "Hyung-nim" finally returned to South Korea, Earth. However, it was the 25th day since Haeshik's brother and Elle with other S Rank users entered a Tertiary Great Cataclysm S Rank Mission dungeon in the Grand Canyon, Arizona, United States. With the default programming of the DCS, the participants on the 29th day will be declared dead and the target dungeon will be closed, therefore, Haeshik had been in a stressful tense state. Even if Hasehik had his stats solidified at the Association's S Rank, he would not have survived in the special S Rank dungeon with his abilities alone.

After the dungeon clearance, Haeshik cried for his "Hyung-nim" returning and questioned "Hyung-nim" if he received plastic surgery.

Haeshik and the guild members rested for a day in the United States, with his "Hyung-nim" sharing his experiences in England and in the special dungeon from the day before. The next day, the group returned to Korea, but his brother Haejoon stayed to support Elle.

### Radio (Arc)

For three weeks, "Hyung-nim" completed his guild leader duties and paperwork while on a tight schedule. During the three weeks, "Hyung-nim" cleared various other dungeons with the guild members in the morning then enter a specific Treasure dungeon to visit The 7 Heavenly Kings for training in the evening. Also, S-A Rank Haeshik and Seoyoon had become strong enough to make a name for themselves in the user industry even without the prestige of SSS Rank Jeongdo.

His "Hyung-nim" thought about applying visas for his guild members to the Demon World and Heavenly World after his trip to the Radio World.

His "Hyung-nim" was in the Radio World for ## period.

### The Earth's Situation (Arc)

After clearing many dungeons, Haeshik is now an official S Rank tanker-type user. The guild leader, Triple S, is the best user in the world, and his closest aides, Yoon Seoyoon and Kang Haeshik, are also too strong to ignore. Both still have not realized Tinia's true strength and form.

He and Seoyoon went to partake in the S Rank dungeon break at Worldmark Centrum Tower at the Association's call. The dungeon break released two boss Ancient Wyverns, one was stalled by Haeshik and Seoyoon, the other S Ranks: Jin Changhoo of the KNM Guild, Seo Sanghui of the Association and Ryu Saerin of the Big Dipper Clan. Haeshik and the other S Ranks became common sense shocked by Cheok Jun-gyeong's single slash killing each Ancient Wyvern like dogs. The next day, his "Hyung-nim" talked about his last dungeon experience to Haeshik and Seoyoon.

About a month before his "Hyung-nim" returned to Korea, SS Rank dungeons were born in urban centers all over the world keeping Haejoon and sister Elle busy.

### Copy (Arc)

Three days after Haeshik saw Cheok Jun-gyeong kill the Ancient Wyverns, the Realizer group representative Ryu Saerin finally joined the SSS Guild. For her joining, the guild held a celebration party styled after Haeshik's first "celebration party". Haeshik, Seoyoon and Saerin were forced to clear a SS Rank Annihilation dungeon and to tackle the SS Rank boss two headed basilisk until exhaustion, under the watch of his "Hyung-nim" and Cheok Jun-gyeong.

### Heaven (Arc)

The SSS Guild followed their Guild Leader to assist the eradication of the Angel artificial special dungeon in China.

Haeshik was inspired by his "Hyung-nim" single sweep high level Angels like fallen leaves.

### Colleagues (Arc)

Because of his overkill desire to follow his "Hyung-nim" as an equal companion and comrade, Haeshik was heavily injured during a dungeon clearance, the daily sixth dungeon. While fatality was prevented with Seoyoon's healing, he was forced to enter the hospital. His "Hyung-nim" learned about his predicament after returning abroad, noting the habitual "giant" little brother did not appear then.

Haeshik confessed to Jeongdo: "I didn't enter the guild because I wanted to be protected by you. I want to fight side by side with my Hyung-nim in the same place. I want to help! I want to become someone who can lighten your burden even a little bit.”

Liu Shan joined the SSS Guild.

His Guild Leader took them on a 5 member team expedition to clear 8 SS Rank dungeons in a row. He lead a High-Speed Bus, but only excluding himself while they conduct Life-Death Battles against the Boss monster. They conduct a 4 member team raid n a tank-DPS-support formation: Haeshik, Ryu Saerin and Liu Shan, then finally at the back Seoyoon. Haeshik's team first fought the no-data Arachne Queen of a 10 player dungeon. Another no-data monster was the Death Knight, but by then, Haeshik exhibited his leadership ability. With clearance of the first SS Rank dungeon, Cú Chulainn joined the SSS Guild.

Haeshik is currently a top S Rank tanker-type user, but still cannot handle a SS Rank Boss monster's simple physical attack without his shield.

The next day after clearing 8 SS Rank dungeons, Haeshik and the team received individual instructors to improve their skill experience for daily two hours, for one week. Haeshik was assigned Plato to learn Ancient wrestling (Pankration), rather than the Shield Technique, and adapt to non-team combat. His previous instructor candidate was Heracles.

### Demon World (Arc)

Haeshik and the other combat team members of the SSS Guild were trained for a week, two hours a day, by their individual instructors so they can join Jin Jeongdo on his expedition to Pandemonium.

When teleporting, a Forced Transfer trap was activated, separating the SSS Guild team. Haeshik and the others were contacted by Jeongdo's title-based skill Calling.

### Dakjinjeon (Arc)

The separated Haeshik fought the Demon Army 5th and 6th Legion Commanders with Ryu Saerin.

### Sequence Arrangement (Arc)

Riding on Fenrir, Haeshik and the entire SSS Guild members arrived at Loaded Thor-Jeongdo's location. Haeshik and Seoyoon become surprised by Tinia's true identity. They also saw Jeongdo "domesticate" Fenrir in place of Tinia.

### Radiant Universe (Arc)

Haeshik told his "Hyung-nim" that Haejoon finally contacted from South America, but Calling could not pass through. Haeshik followed his "Hyung-nim", Seo Sanghui and a minimal number of officials to South America.

### Guardian God (Arc)

Near death, Liu Shan recalled all the SSS Guild members. He remembered Haeshik, who was always cheerful and approached him without hesitation, even as a stranger.

### Darkness (Arc)

Darkness, the founder of Karma, is the equivalent Kang Haejoon.

Darkness-Haejoon mentioned Haeshik of his Universe, exclaiming Haeshik called Darkness "crazy" for believing his "Hyung-nim" of his Universe will resurrect like Jesus.

### Showdown (Arc)

Two days after monsters worldwide gained strength from an unknown black miasma <Creeping Chaos>, Haeshik is informed of Haejoon's death by his "Hyung-nim". Haeshik and the other SSS Guild members agree to follow through Iksia's Spacetime Gate to fight with Jeongdo against Darkness and Nyarlathotep's invasion from the Outer Universe.

Haeshik and the guild members gained great stats through Jeongdo's Lv.3 talents and skills support.

### Epilogue (Arc)

One month in April 2031 after the final battle, Haeshik accepts the death of this brother Haejoon and successfully pushes out the negative emotions amplified aftereffects from combating <Creeping Chaos>. Today is the one year anniversary his "Hyung-nim" met Winry Makina.

His "Hyung-nim" did not reveal the true identiy of Darkness to him.

Haeshik's gregarious character caused him to impolitely open the Guild Leader's room door with a bang, leading to him sparring with Seoyoon again. This time the location is Dalian, China. Originally, Haeshik wanted a sparring session with his "Hyung-nim" after a long time.
