Cho Kyuhwan

**Cho Kyuhwan** (조규환) was a lizard and a member of Hwang Dongsuk's raid party. When he attempted to murder Jinwoo on Hwang's orders, Jinwoo sliced him to pieces, cutting off his hand and killing him instantly.

## Appearance

Kyuhwan was a thin young man with pale skin, androgynous facial features, and shoulder-length black hair. He wore a green cloak over a brown shirt and black pants.

## Personality

Like the rest of his raid party, Kyuhwan was very greedy and had no problem killing innocent weaker hunters for some fast cash.

## Abilities

Kyuhwan was a decent fire user and was able to take out half of Jinwoo's health at the time with a single fireball. He also had a degree of control over his fire magic, as he was able to generate small balls of light from his hand to light up the dungeon during raids.
Assassin

**Assassins** are Hunters who specialize in both speed and close-range combat.

## Overview

Assassins are swift and agile, and are considered to be the fastest Hunters around. They typically fight with smaller weapons like daggers or hidden blades. Their speed can make them hard to hit by hunters from other classes; mages in particular are at a disadvantage against them due to the time it takes to cast their spells. Only Jinwoo was the exception of being a mage, due to his status as the player of the System.

## Skills

* **Stealth:** A skill that allows the user to physically blend in with their surroundings and hide all traces of their presence, essentially turning themselves both physically and magically invisible.

## Known Assassins

* Kang Taeshik
* Ippei Izawa

Goblins

**Goblins** are a race of grotesque dwarf-like monsters. They take after how they are stereotypically depicted in fantasy-themed media in appearance, with child-like physiques, green skin, sharp ears and teeth, and glowing red eyes. Although it's implied that they have a subspecies amongst them, only one kind shows up in the webtoon.

As demonstrated by Kang Taeshik's opinion of them, goblins are notoriously known for how weak they are, with even E-Rank Hunters capable of killing them with little trouble, and only have strength in numbers. As a result, they typically attempt sneak attacks on their targets and are regarded as very annoying by higher-ranking hunters.
Return to Demon Castle Arc

**Return to Demon Castle Arc** is the 12th story arc of the series.

## Premise

Jinwoo returns to the Demon Castle to obtain the final ingredient for the Holy Water of Life. Along the way, he meets Esil Radiru, a friendly demon noble who offers to guide him to Baran, the Demon King and the final boss of the castle, in exchange for sparing the lives of her clan.

## Webtoon/Novel Differences

* In the novel, Esil heads back to her floor when they make it to the 99th floor.
* In the novel, Jinwoo defeats Baran more easily than he did in the webtoon.
Giants

**Giants** are a race of man-eating humanoid magic beasts of gigantic size. They were ruled by Legia, the King of Giants and one of the nine Monarchs.

## Appearance

The giants from the Tokyo S-Rank Gate were each about as big as a large building. All of them had gray skin, thick hair, armor, and horns.

## Abilities

Given that they typically serve as the dungeon bosses of top-tier A-Rank gates, the average giant is strong enough to contend with and even overpower the average S-Rank Hunter. The so-called "supergiant" was also strong enough to destroy Yuri Orloff's barrier in one swing and easily overpower shadow soldiers as strong as Jima and Tusk.

Shadow Extraction

**Shadow Extraction** (그림자 추출) is a resurrection skill unique to the Shadow Monarch.

## Overview

Shadow Extraction allows its user to revive a slain beast or hunter as a shadow soldier. It is triggered through a set keyword, does not cost mana to use, and can be applied over a large radius, allowing its user to extract hundreds of shadows at once. Despite the fact that Shadow Extraction essentially allows its user to create an army of shadows at their command, it comes with several weaknesses:

* Since Shadow Extraction works by extracting mana to create a shadow body, it can't be used on targets who didn't produce mana from their bodies when they were alive (i.e. a normal human). Mana also gradually evaporates from a target over time and as a result, an extraction is only possible for a certain period of time after the target's death.
* Shadow Extraction can't be used on targets with contaminated mana, such as demons.
* Shadow Extraction can't be successfully used on targets who are significantly stronger than the user themselves.
* Shadow Extraction can only be used three times on a single target, meaning that the user has only three chances for a successful extraction.
* Shadow Extraction can't be used on targets with inorganic forms, such as the Monarchs.
Collect Demon Souls! (1)

**Collect Demon Souls! (1)** was a regular quest that Jinwoo received when he first opened the gates of the Demon Castle. It was also the quest that gave him the recipe for the Holy Water of Life, the only known cure to Eternal Slumber.

## Instructions

*The Demon Castle is swarming with demons. You will receive a special reward for defeating the demons and collecting their souls.*
Dragon's Fear

**Dragon's Fear** (드래곤 피어) is a debuff skill native to Antares and his servants.

## Overview

Dragon's Fear allows its user to release a mana-infused shout from their soul, driving anyone weaker than them into a state of intense despair and panic. Despite how powerful this skill is, it comes with two major drawbacks. The first is that it only works on individuals weaker than the user themselves, meaning that enemies stronger than the user are completely immune to its effects. The second is that its effects are indiscriminate and apply to anyone weaker than the user in the vicinity, including the user's own allies. As a result, it is only a good skill to use while fighting against an enemy alone.
Sung Jinwoo/Relationships

## Family

### Park Kyung-Hye (Mother)

Jinwoo has a very loving relationship with his mother and risked his life countless times to pay for her hospital bills over the four years that she was in a coma. Her illness served as the main reason why he became a hunter in the first place, as he hoped to find something in the dungeons that would cure her of Eternal Slumber. When he ultimately succeeded with the Holy Water of Life and she woke up in perfect health, Jinwoo was so relieved to see her awake that he broke composure and started sobbing right there in front of her.

After Kyung-Hye was cured, Jinwoo decided to look after her to make sure she was physically healthy and was willing to sit out of the Jeju Island Raid to do so. After the raid concluded, however, Jinwoo told his mother about how he had changed ever since she had gone under and she was fine with him continuing to be a hunter as long as he didn't push himself too hard, to which he agreed to.

### Sung Jinah (Sister)

Jinwoo and Jinah have a somewhat typical sibling relationship, and the two are shown to tease and bicker with each other frequently. As Jinwoo was forced to take over as the breadwinner of the family after their mother went comatose, Jinah is very close to him and cares deeply for his well-being, as displayed when she yelled at him after he nearly died in the Double Dungeon. In return, Jinwoo is very protective of Jinah and is extremely brutal towards those who try to hurt her, as displayed when he viciously slaughtered a group of orcs who attempted to kill her and her classmates. Jinwoo protectiveness of his sister also extends to career choice upon asked by his sisters teacher if he was okay with Jinah becoming a hunter he firmly against the idea of her becoming a hunter.

### Cha Hae-In (Wife)

In the very beginning, Cha's relationship with Jinwoo was very one-sided; while he thought very little of her, she was deeply interested in him due to the fact that he was the first hunter she had ever met who smelled good to her. Eventually, Cha developed romantic feelings for Jinwoo and those feelings became serious enough that she would lose her composure in front of him whenever he poked fun at her.

In time, Jinwoo would warm up to Cha and their romantic feelings became mutual, with the two of them going out on their first date shortly after a S-Rank Gate spawned in Seoul. After Jinwoo used the Cup of Reincarnation and reset the timeline, he made it his first point to re-introduce himself to her. Their relationship would grow from there and they would eventually get married and have a son, Sung Suho.

## Hunters

### Lee Joohee

Jinwoo and Joohee have a close relationship with each other, as she frequently accompanied him on raids to make sure he didn't get killed. She also displays a great deal of care towards his condition, as shown when she got angry at him at one point for getting injured so badly during a raid. It's also implied that she had romantic feelings towards him but due to her decision to eventually retire from being a hunter and move back home to Busan, she never acted on them.
Demon King's Daggers

The **Demon King's Daggers** are a pair of daggers originally used by the Demon King Baran. Following his death, Jinwoo recovered the daggers as one of his drop items and went on to use them as his main weapon until he was given Kamish's Wrath as a gift from Thomas Andre.

## Overview

The Demon King's Daggers are large black daggers with brown hilts and red blade guards that resemble a demon's mouth. When Baran used the daggers, their edges glowed blood-red. When Jinwoo used them, however, their edges glowed light purple.

The daggers grant an attack power boost of +220 to their users, making them the third strongest weapon in Jinwoo's arsenal. They also have a second effect called **Two As One**, which grants bonus attack power to each dagger based on the user's strength stat.

Although the daggers are generally able to slice through anything, they were ineffective against the Statue of God, only leaving scratches on its face, and completely useless against Thomas Andre, as they failed to even cut his skin.
Guilds

**Guilds** are organized groups of Hunters that raid Gates. The leader of a guild is called the Guild Master and with the top guilds in a country, the Guild Master is typically a S-Rank Hunter.

The top guilds actively recruit high-level Hunters with large bonuses depending on rank. As a result, joining a top guild ensures access to large salaries and a higher degree of safety, since raids are well-planned and cautious. On the other hand, the lower guilds recruit just about anyone they can get their hands on and have a tendency to raid Dungeons that are tougher than they can handle. As a result, joining a lower guild is fraught with risk and comes with a significantly higher mortality rate.

## Notable Guilds

### China

* Unnamed Chinese Guild: Liu Zhigang
* Gold Dragon Guild (Inactive)

### India

* Unnamed Indian Guild: Siddharth Bachchan
Kamish's Wrath

**Kamish's Wrath** are a pair of daggers crafted from the fang of the dragon Kamish and one of the strongest magical weapons in the world.

## Appearance

In the webtoon, Kamish's Wrath are a pair of large light orange daggers with gray hilts and glowing blood-red edges, with one dagger being thicker than the other. The smaller dagger has a black blade guard, while the thicker one has a golden blade guard.

In the novel, Kamish's Wrath are depicted differently and have ice-white blades.

## History

During his battle with Kamish, Thomas Andre was able to get his hands on the dragon's largest and sharpest fang when it bit him with it. Following Kamish's death, he was allowed to keep the fang as a souvenir by the American government and eventually sought to make a weapon out of it.

As the fang was too short to make a longsword, it was crafted into a pair of daggers instead. However, as Thomas was not an assassin-type hunter, he chose not to use the daggers and did not allow his guild members to use them either. As a result, they ultimately spent eight years collecting dust in the underground basement of the Scavenger Guild's skyscraper until Thomas chose to gift them to Jinwoo as thanks for both sparing his life and the lives of his guild members during their battle in America.

Due to their staggering attack power, Jinwoo was able to use the daggers to cut and kill the lesser Monarchs in his battles against them. Thomas went as far to admit that even his **Reinforcement** skill, which provided him with the best defense in the world and made his skin so tough that even the Beast Monarch couldn't cut through, would have been absolutely useless had Jinwoo used Kamish's Wrath against him.

Despite how well the Kamish's Wrath worked against the other Monarchs, however, they were completely ineffective against Antares, the strongest Monarch, and failed to even scratch his skin, as he was the King of Dragons and Kamish used to be his servant.

## Abilities

Kamish's Wrath grants an attack power boost of +1500 to their user, making them the strongest magical weapons in the world. The daggers are also mana-sensitive, meaning that their power will increase based on their user's abilities, and even allow their user to alter their weight however they please, as displayed in the novel when Jinwoo was able to make them as light as a feather.

Jay Mills

**Jay Mills** (제이밀스) was the strongest hunter in Canada, ranking 17th in the world.

## Appearance

Jay was a large and muscular man with brown eyes, brown hair, and pronounced cheekbones. In his first appearance, he wore a brown trench coat and a white scarf over a dark blue dress shirt. During his last raid, he wore gray armor with yellow trims and a white cape, and wielded a massive gray shield and a large spear.

## Personality

Much like how Goto Ryuji was, Jay had a very boastful demeanor and was overconfident in his abilities. He also lacked a sense of respect and had very poor judgement, as he openly disregarded Jinwoo's warning over Antares' invasion and even insulted him for trying to warn the public in the first place.

## History

### Final Battle Arc

When Jinwoo warned the world about the Monarchs and their impending invasion, Jay was quick to dismiss his words as total nonsense and remained determined to defend his homeland from the gigantic gate that had spawned there.

Several days later, Jay was present when Antares, the strongest Monarch, emerged from the gate and asked the humans for the location of their king. As he had no idea that Antares was looking for Jinwoo, Jay arrogantly claimed himself to be the king and prepared to fight. However, before he could even strike, Antares effortlessly burned him to cinders with his breath attack.

## Abilities

As the #1 hunter in Canada with a world ranking of 17th, Jay was one of the strongest foreign hunters (aside from the National Level Hunters) introduced in the series and was likely at least around Goto's level of power.

Choi Yoora

**Choi Yoora** (최유라) is a nurse who works at the hospital that Jin-Woo stayed at while he was recovering from the injuries that he sustained during the Double Dungeon incident.

## Appearance

Yoora is a young woman with black hair in a bob cut and a pronounced hourglass figure. She wears the standard green nurse's uniform.

## Personality

Yoora is polite and somewhat shy, as demonstrated when she awkwardly asked Jinwoo for his phone number after seeing him shirtless.
Fighter

**Fighters** are Hunters who specialize in melee combat.

## Overview

Fighter-type Hunters are able to deal large amounts of damage to their opponents and typically engage in standard melee combat. They also have fairly high defense and good stamina. Since they're brawlers, fighters generally use weapons like swords, axes, knives, and even their bare hands.

## Known Fighters

* Kim Sangshik
* Woo Jinchul
* Hwang Dongsoo
* Cha Hae-In
* Baek Yoonho
* Hanekawa
* Atsushi Kumamoto
* Tatsumi Fujishima
* Kanae Tawata
* Kenzo Tanaka
* Minoru Hoshino
* Goto Ryuji
* Liu Zhigang
Mana Crystals

**Mana Crystals** are a blue-colored, magical mineral found inside Dungeons. Although they aren't worth as much as Essence Stones due to not containing as much Mana, they can still sell at high prices and serve as a secondary source of income for Hunters around the world.

As machines that run on electricity don't work inside Dungeons, Hunters are required to mine mana crystals by hand. As a result, Guilds typically have entire teams of hunters dedicated to just mining crystals. Since crystals are typically found in large deposits and the Hunters on the teams are usually low-ranking, it typically takes hours before a Dungeon is mined clean of crystals.
E-Rank

**E-Rank** is the lowest rank a Hunter can obtain.

## Overview

As they belong to the lowest rank on the ladder, E-Rank Hunters are only slightly stronger than normal humans and are pretty much useless at fighting against Magic Beasts due to how weak they are. As a result, they are usually viewed disdainfully by higher-ranking Hunters and typically receive low wages.

E-Ranks are known to be measured at a Mana output of at least 70 in measurement technologies.
Arch Liches

**Arch Liches** are a race of undead monsters that usually appear in S-Rank Gates or top-tier A-Rank Gates. They are very notorious for their strength, primarily due to the fact that one of these monsters was able to single-handedly wipe out a  major Chinese guild several years back. As a result, they are regarded as extremely dangerous, to the point that only S-Rank Hunters are qualified to fight them.

Just like one would expect them to look like given their names, Arch Liches are large floating skeletal monsters with black horns, glowing red eyes, ghostly green hair, and thin skeletal arms. They also wear long black cloaks and have their green hearts exposed in the middle of their rib cages, which are very prominent and stick right out of their chests.
High Orcs

**High Orcs** are a race of red-skinned orcs that first appeared during the Hunters Guild Gate. They are the strongest type of orcs and each one is powerful enough to contend with an A-Rank Hunter. As a result, they are seen as highly dangerous and generally only appear in top-tier A-Rank Gates.

As they are at least A-Rank monsters, high orcs can exhibit intelligent behavior, with some of them even able to communicate with humans. They are also quite strong, as displayed when one was able to easily destroy Son Kihoon's shield with just brute strength.

Strangely enough, despite the fact that high orcs are said to be the strongest type of orcs, other types of orcs are never discussed or named in the story, even when a group of green-skinned orcs led by Groctar appeared later on during an attack on a local high school in Seoul. Also, as stated by Groctar, an orc's tattoos symbolize their victories in battle, meaning that the number of tattoos they have indicate just how many foes they have killed.

Jeju Island Arc

**Jeju Island Arc** is the 13th story arc of the series.

## Premise

With his mother finally cured of Eternal Slumber, Jinwoo decides to sit out of the upcoming Jeju Island Raid to look after her. However, he is ultimately forced to change his mind when a monstrous ant shows up during the raid and starts slaughtering S-Ranks left and right.
Jima

**Jima** (지마) is the shadow of Boss Naga.

## Appearance

Jima is a giant naga with black scales, sharp claws, glowing purple shoulder fins, and a glowing purple underbelly. He also wields a pair of large black tridents.

## Abilities

As an Elite Knight Grade shadow, Jima is on the level of the average S-Rank Hunter.

* **Enhanced Strength:** Jima was able to strike down a giant in one hit.
* **Growth:** Jima can grow drastically in size using mana.
* **Regeneration**
Absolute Being

The **Absolute Being** (절대자) was a god and the creator of both the Monarchs and the Rulers.

## Appearance

The Absolute Being was a gigantic man with long silver hair, pale ivory skin, and blank yellow eyes. He was always seen barefoot and wore silver robes with light brown armor on his shoulders and chest, and a tall light brown hat.

## Personality

The Absolute Being was a cruel and self-centered individual who cared very little for his creations and saw them only as tools for his own entertainment. He also lacked good judgement and was extremely careless, as he clearly never considered the possibility that the Rulers would rebel against him and only ever implanted a fail-safe inside Ashborn in case this ever happened, which ultimately failed to accomplish its intended purpose.

## History

At the dawn of time, when light and darkness was all that existed, the Absolute Being split the light to create the Rulers and split the darkness to create the Monarchs. As the Monarchs were born to destroy the world and the Rulers were born to protect it, it wasn't long before they engaged in a devastating war with each other.

After eons of endless war with no victory in sight, the Rulers asked the Absolute Being to give them the strength to extinguish the Monarchs for good and finally put an end to the bloodshed. However, the Absolute Being did not reply and it was at that moment that the Rulers realized that their war with the Monarchs was mere entertainment to him, and that the Absolute Being did not want the war to end.

This fact along with the realization that the war would never end as long as the Absolute Being was alive led seven of the eight Rulers to rebel against their god. Ashborn, the last and strongest Ruler, was the only one who remained loyal to the Absolute Being and tried his best to stop them, but they easily defeated him and left him for dead. With no one left to oppose them in their revolution, the Rulers marched into the throne room and speared the Absolute Being to death. After his revival as the Shadow Monarch, Ashborn would later find the god's corpse still sitting on his throne, with the Rulers' spears sticking out of his chest and his neck.

## Abilities

As a god, the Absolute Being was the most powerful individual in all of existence and was able to create life, both inorganic and organic, from nothing. He was also able to create objects with otherworldly powers, such as the Cup of Reincarnation. However, despite how much power he possessed, the Absolute Being seemed to be incapable at using it in battle and as a result, the Rulers were able to kill him without much of a struggle.
Class Ranks

**Class Ranks** refers to the international S-E ranking system for individuals who possess magical abilities and radiate mana from their bodies. It is primarily used to determine how strong they are and has been in existence for about 8-9 years.

## Overview

Ranks are divided into seven levels corresponding to a certain letter in the alphabet, E being the weakest and S being the strongest. It is used to classify Hunters as well as Dungeons and Magic Beasts.

As noted multiple times throughout the story, a Hunter's rank essentially determines everything about them, including their income and their reputations as Hunters. The disparities between ranks are also not easily overcome even after years of training and the gap in power between ranks can be very wide, as B-Ranks easily overpower C-Ranks and S-Ranks are exponentially more powerful compared to A-Ranks.

Naturally, the higher a Hunter's rank is, the more valuable they are. Thus, E-Ranks are viewed as disposable and receive very low pay, while S-Ranks, especially particularly powerful ones, are highly valued and are typically rolling in money.

Normally, a Hunter's rank is set in stone from the moment they awaken and the only way for their rank to increase is if they receive a second awakening, which is said to be very rare. The only known exception to this rule is Sung Jinwoo, as his unique status as the Player of System allowed him to continuously grow in strength through training.

Although the ranking system is typically very accurate and is seen as the standard for Hunters around the world, this is not always the case due to existence of False Rankers, Hunters who can consciously control their mana output and are therefore ranked much lower then they should be. False rankers usually have nefarious motivations for hiding their true strength and many of them are said to be heartless psychopaths who kill other Hunters for fun. They are, however, said to be quite rare.
Dungeons

**Dungeons** are pockets of the Chaos World that are connected to the human world through Gates. They generally contain a horde of monsters, which are led by a boss, and remain open until the boss is killed. Once the boss is killed, the dungeon will stay open for about an hour before closing on its own.

It should be noted that in order to prevent the loss of human life as much as possible, then a Dungeon must be cleared within seven days. If it is not, then it will undergo what's called a "dungeon break", meaning that the monsters inside the Dungeon will be able to cross over to the human world and attack the civilian population.

Because of this, Hunter Guilds are hired by the government to clear Dungeons. Additionally, Dungeons contain valuable artifacts such as Mana Crystals and monsters's Essence Stones that can become a source of money for Hunters.

## Notable Dungeons

### S-Rank

* Double Dungeon
* Demon Castle

### A-Rank

* Red Gate Dungeon
* Hunters Guild Dungeon
* Busan A-Rank Dungeon
Gold Dragon Guild

The **Gold Dragon Guild** was a major guild in China.

## History

At some point in the past, the Gold Dragon Guild was completely wiped out in a battle with an Arch Lich. The result of the guild's failure to kill the Arch Lich caused a dungeon break that would have developed into a total catastrophe had it not been for Liu Zhigang, who stepped in to handle the situation and killed the Lich by himself.
Ahjin Guild Arc

**Ahjin Guild Arc** is the 15th story arc of the series.

## Premise

Jinwoo creates his own guild, the Ahjin Guild, and agrees to help the Knights Guild clear a top-tier A-Rank Gate on their turf for a fee. However, at the same time, something goes terribly wrong at the high school that his sister Jinah is a student at.
Kasaka's Venom Fang

**Kasaka's Venom Fang** is a dagger that Jinwoo obtained as one of his drop items after killing Blue Venom-Fanged Kasaka. He would use it as his main weapon until he bought Knight Killer from the System Shop.

## Overview

Kasaka's Venom Fang is a small black dagger with a white edge and a hilt made out of bones. On top of being able to grant its user an attack power boost of +25, the dagger also has two extra effects due to the fact that Kasaka's venom still remains inside it; **Paralyze**, which prevents a target from moving at a certain rate, and **Bleed**, which causes a target to lose 1% of their health for every second this effect is active and can potentially kill the said target from excessive blood loss.
Mining Team

Mining Team the team in a guild that takes mines ores within dungeon. The mining team and collecting team enter the dungeon when all the monsters except the boss have been defeated by the attack force. An excessive amount of manpower were used as modern machines that runs on electricity don't operate inside the dungeon, so miners use un-modern methods.

The Mining Team consists of awakened humans that go inside the gate in order to mine most of the Mana Crystals so that the guild can profit the most from the gate. They enter the gate once the Attack Team finishes killing all the monsters, leaving only the boss.

Sung Jin-Woo once entered a gate with the Hunters Guild as part of the Mining Team.
Mage

**Mages** are Hunters who specialize in sorcery.

## Overview

Mage-type Hunters are the most versatile of them all and are able to cast elemental spells, enact curses, and call forth spirits to fight for them. As a result, a large portion of their abilities are projectile attacks. However, since they attack from a distance, mage-type Hunters are at a huge disadvantage in close combat. The only known exception to that is Sung Jinwoo, due to his status as the Player of the System and the second Shadow Monarch.

## Skills

* **Elemental Spells:** The vast majority of mages can use elemental spells and shoot off blasts of fire, ice, water, etc. It should be noted lightning spells are something only top-tier mages can do.
* **Curse Magic:** Spells that can restrain or negatively affect the intended target's performance.
* **Summoning Magic:** Mages can summon creatures to aid them in battle. However, as noted by Cha Hae-In, most mage-type hunters can only summon 1-2 creatures at best before running out of mana.
* **Barrier Magic:** Mages can cast barrier spells to defend themselves or entrap their opponents.

## Known Mages

* Cho Kyuhwan
* Song Chi-Yul
* Park Heejin
* Choi Jong-In
* Gina
* Kei
* Yuri Orloff
Ice Bears

**Ice Bears** are a race of bears that are typically found in frozen environments. Although they share their white fur with polar bears, they differ from polar bears in that they are significantly larger, with some as big as army tanks, and much more hostile towards humans. Ice bears also travel in packs and are led by an alpha, who is distinguished by his greater size and the purple, leaf-shaped crest on his chest.
Fiend Guild

The **Fiend Guild** (사신 길드) is one of the top five Korean guilds. It used to be the strongest guild in Korea until some of the members split off and form the White Tiger Guild and rose to power. It is active in the Seoul Metropolitan Area.

Ma Dongwook

**Ma Dongwook** (마동욱) is a Korean S-Rank hunter and the Guild Master of the Fame Guild.

## Appearance

Ma is a burly middle-aged man with bushy black hair, thick eyebrows, and sloppy facial hair. In his first appearance, he wore a dobok, the standard uniform for a judoka. During the Jeju Island Raid, he wore light gold and gray armor and wielded a simple spear along with a massive shield with a ram's skull imprinted on it.

## Personality

Ma is a friendly and outgoing individual who is almost always seen smiling around people and is very compassionate towards his fellow Korean S-Rank Hunters. He does not like to compete with others, as demonstrated when he preferred not to argue with Park Jongsoo over a turf dispute.

## Abilities

As a S-Rank Hunter, Ma is one of the top hunters in Korea. However, he is shown to be weak for his rank, given by how easily Kenzo was able to defeat him in their sparring match.

* **Enhanced Strength:** Ma was able to fight evenly with Baek during their sparring match and knock him off-balance at one point, and was also strong enough to completely block the Ant Queen from attacking Min Byung-Gyu. It should be noted, however, that if Baek completely transformed into his tiger state, then Ma would quickly lose against him.
* **Enhanced Durability:** Ma was able to continue moving normally after the Ant King tore off his arms and threw him around like a rag doll.
* **Gigantification:** Ma is able to increase his physical size about twofold.

Lee Seong-Chul

**Lee Seong-Chul** is the Director of the Ilsin Hospital, the hospital where Park Kyung-Hye stayed at while she was ill with Eternal Slumber. Although he appears in the webtoon, he is only named in the novel.

## Appearance

Seong-Chul is a balding old man with white hair on the sides of his head and a white mustache. As a doctor, he wears a simple white coat over a black tie and a white dress shirt.

## Personality

Seong-Chul is a man of science, as he wished to keep Kyung-Hye around in order to find out how she was cured. However, he is not the type to stand up to power, as he immediately changed his mind after learning that Sung Jinwoo, Kyung-Hye's son, was a S-Rank Hunter.

## History

When Kyung-Hye suddenly woke up from Eternal Slumber after spending four years in a coma, Seong-Chul initially refused to let her go home so that he could figure out exactly how she was cured. However, after learning that her son Jinwoo was a S-Rank Hunter, Seong-Chul immediately reversed course and allowed her to be discharged. It's also implied that he chose not to inform the medical community about Kyung-Hye's miraculous recovery, as Yoo Myunghan and his staff had to do some digging to find out that she was cured.

Shadow Exchange

**Shadow Exchange** (그림자 교환) is a teleportation skill unique to the Shadow Monarch.

## Overview

In its true form, Shadow Exchange allows its user to use shadows as portals to travel vast distances in an instant. As the skill works like a gate, the user can bring people with them while using it. It also does not have any time limits and does not consume mana to use.

When Jinwoo first obtained Shadow Exchange, he could only use it if there was already a shadow soldier at his desired destination. The skill also worked by swapping their places and had a fixed cooldown time, starting with three hours. However, when Jinwoo was reborn as the new Shadow Monarch, both of these limitations were removed and Shadow Exchange was upgraded to its true form, allowing Jinwoo to travel anywhere he wanted to in the world without restraint.

罠だらけの理想

慰めの口実

Gonna say I told you so

取り上げられる希望

Short cut to be a star

Wasn't born to raise the bar

誤魔化しの正義は

誰も起こせないアラームのようだ

Failing, feeling

喜怒哀楽をクリーンにしないで

声をFreeに

Let's get 'em

So giving yourself

You're giving yourself the best shot

Be giving yourself

You're giving yourself the best shot

Don't you gotta get solo?

What you gonna get? Swear it!

Don't you dare forget solo

You give it your best shot!

Go reach out to get you

Gotta go reach out to get you!

Just go reach out to get you!

Get up, reach out for it!

Go reach out to get you

Gotta go reach out to get you!

Just go reach out to get you!

Just get in, get out, get on to it!

Can't remember to forget

Little boy who lost the bet

Now I'm racking up the kills

I've got to pay the bills (The bills)

Be grateful, what you get is a way to hit reset

Give you more than just a leg

Off the hook, I'm god-level

Failing, feeling

All those days are dead

There's no railing, ceiling

Let's get 'em

So giving yourself

You're giving yourself the best shot

Be giving yourself

You're giving yourself the best shot

Don't you gotta get solo?

What you gonna get? Swear it!

Don't you dare forget solo

You give it your best shot!

Go reach out to get you

Gotta go reach out to get you!

Just go reach out to get you!

Get up, reach out for it!

Go reach out to get you

Gotta go reach out to get you!

Just go reach out to get you!

Just get in, get out, get on to it

Game over but they gave him all the cheat codes

Little kiddy in the gutter with a bloody nose

On the cover but he doesn't even read those

The headlines, the headlines

So jacked but he hasn't got an ego

Local boy and he came up from zero

Every battle we can watch him as the power grows

And grows

Let's get 'em

So giving yourself

You're giving yourself the best shot

Be giving yourself

You're giving yourself the best shot

Don't you gotta get solo?

What you gonna get? Swear it!

Don't you dare forget solo

You give it your best shot!

Go reach out to get you

Gotta go reach out to get you!

Just go reach out to get you!

Get up, reach out for it!

Go reach out to get you

Gotta go reach out to get you!

Just go reach out to get you!

Lizards

**Lizards** is a slang term for hunters who abuse their powers to commit crimes inside dungeons.

As the things happen inside dungeons never go public and there's no security cameras around to record crimes if they happen, it's very easy to commit murder or robbery and get away with it, as there's no feasible way to obtain the evidence to prove that they actually happened. Lizards are the people who exploit this factor, either for sport or to make fast cash. Their name stems from the fact that they typically invite weaker hunters to join in on their raids and then ditch them to die inside the dungeons, like a lizard cutting off its own tail and running away.

## Notable Lizards

* Hwang Dongsuk
* Cho Kyuhwan
* Lee Chul-Jin
Poisoned-Toothed Giant Desert Centipedes

**Poisoned-Toothed Giant Desert Centipedes** are a race of centipede monsters that appeared during the Penalty Zone. True to their name, they are gigantic centipedes with sharp mandibles, sharp teeth, brown shells, and six small white eyes.

Although it's not made clear as to how powerful they were, they were able to give Jinwoo a decent challenge when he got sent there while he was trying to clear the Job Change Quest Dungeon. As he already at the level of an A-Rank at the time, it can be assumed that they were at least on the level of a B-Rank.
Giant Arachnid Buryura

**Giant Arachnid Buryura** was the boss of the Insects Dungeon.

It is a massive spider with grey carapace on its' abdomen with eight legs, covered in black chitinous armor with grey exposed joints. It also has multiple glowing red eyes. As a C-rank Boss, it is a powerful Magic Beast, capable of great power.
Iron Body Monarch

**Tarnak** was the King of Monstrous Humanoids and the Monarch of the Iron Body.

## Appearance

Tarnak was a handsome young man with slick blond hair and green eyes. He wore a long white coat with a bright blood-red collar, golden shoulder pads, black pants, black shoes, small earrings, white gloves, and a plain gray T-shirt. When using his powers or agitated, his eyes glowed lime green.

## Personality

Tarnak was an egotistical and overconfident individual who held extreme disdain towards mankind, as displayed by how he genuinely believed that Jinwoo was not fit to be the second Shadow Monarch simply because he was human. However, despite his pride, he was still rational enough to realize that he stood no chance against Jinwoo without the support of Antares, the strongest Monarch.

## History

### Japan Crisis Arc

Shortly after the Tokyo S-Rank Gate was cleared, Tarnak, Querehsha, and Rakan ambushed Christopher Reed in his home. Although Chris activated his **Spiritual Body Manifestation** to defend himself, he was still not strong enough to fend off all three of them. As a result, they easily murdered him in the battle that followed, leaving his mutilated corpse behind for the humans to find.

### Monarchs War Arc

When the Frost Monarch asked the other Monarchs to help him kill Jinwoo while he was still human, Tarnak was the first to refuse, as he believed that fighting the Shadow Monarch by themselves was suicide and that it was better to wait for Antares to return instead.

### Final Battle Arc

When Antares invaded the human world, Tarnak went along with him and confronted Thomas Andre upon spotting him on the battlefield. However, in his arrogance, he failed to notice that Thomas had come prepared and was caught completely by surprise when Bellion and Beru emerged from his shadow. Realizing that he had fallen right into Thomas and Jinwoo's trap, Tarnak attempted to contact Antares via telepathy, but was shocked to find out that Tusk had cut off his connection.

Enraged by Jinwoo's tricks, Tarnak activated his **Spiritual Body Manifestation** and attempted to kill Thomas, Bellion, and Beru all by himself. However, his efforts ultimately failed, as the trio was able to easily overpower and dispatch him in the ensuing battle.

## Abilities

As a Monarch, Tarnak was an immensely powerful individual.

* **Telepathy:** Tarnak was able to communicate telepathically with his fellow Monarchs.
* **Spiritual Body Manifestation:** Tarnak was able to transform into a monstrous golem with flaming lime-green hair and dark gray armor.

* **Telekinesis:** Gina is able to move and control objects from a distance to a limited extent, as demonstrated when she was able to telekinetically throw large rocks as weapons.

**Greed** was the shadow of Hwang Dongsoo.

## Appearance

Greed is a muscular humanoid shadow with a light purple glow, glowing red eyes, glowing purple hair, sharp claws, and a fractured, horned skull mask that exposes the upper right portion of his face.

## Personality

Due to being fully aware of the crimes he made in life, Greed is humble, quiet, and servile towards his master, often asking for permission to speak and addressing him with honorifics. At the same time, however, he displays a thirst for blood in battle.

## History

Following his victory against Thomas Andre, Jinwoo murdered Hwang as revenge for torturing Jinho, extracted the shadow from his corpse, and named it **Greed**. After using **Shadow Exchange** to return to Korea, Jinwoo then punished Greed on his first day as a shadow by ordering him to bow his head to the ground.

### Epilogue

After the Rulers used the Cup of Reincarnation one last time on Jinwoo's request, Greed was erased from his existence and his human self, Hwang Dongsoo, was brought back to life in the new timeline with no memory of his death in the previous timeline.

## Abilities

As a General Grade Shadow, Greed is one of the stronger shadows in Jinwoo's army.
