Sung Jinwoo/History

**NOTE FROM MOD (User Jpeng8):** To anyone who's wondering where the original page went, don't freak. I was forced to delete it because it was extremely glitchy. That being said, I plan on rewriting it. Anyone is welcome to help out as long as you can write with proper English grammar.

## History

Jinwoo was born 20-25 years before the events of the main storyline to Sung Il-Hwan and Park Kyung-Hye, and had a little sister named Jinah. Ten years prior to the first Double Dungeon Incident, his father was presumed dead when he mysteriously disappeared inside a dungeon during a raid. Six years later, his mother started to develop symptoms of Eternal Slumber and eventually fell into a coma, but not before making her son promise to her that he'd take care of Jinah in her absence.

With both of his parents out of the picture, Jinwoo was forced to take over as the breadwinner of the family and went on to become a hunter. Due to how unusually weak he was, he quickly became a subject of mockery in the Korean hunter community and was given the disdainful nickname of *"The Weakest Hunter of All Mankind."* Nevertheless, he persisted and over the next four years, managed to financially support both himself and his sister even though he nearly died on just about every raid he went on.

### D-Rank Dungeon Arc

On what seemed like a normal D-Rank dungeon raid, Jinwoo and the rest of his raid party at the time, including Lee Joohee, Song Chi-Yul, and Kim Sangshik, discovered a second hidden dungeon inside the gate and decided to check it out. Unfortunately, they realized too late that it was a trap and found themselves locked in with no way out.

Although the party was eventually able to satisfy the conditions to get the dungeon doors to open (mostly thanks to Jinwoo's intellect), by that point only six of the seventeen hunters who had originally entered the dungeon were still alive, the rest having been brutally killed by the statues inside the dungeon. Realizing that one person had to stay behind for the rest of the party to escape safely, Jinwoo volunteered to be the sacrifice, as he had already lost his right leg.

As the statues skewered him with their weapons and threw him around like a rag doll, a strange message suddenly popped up in front of Jinwoo's face, telling him that he completed the requirements for a hidden quest and asked whether he wanted to accept or reject his status as a Player. With no time or options left, Jinwoo accepted, making him the Player of the System and allowing him to survive the Double Dungeon.

### Reawakening Arc

Upon regaining consciousness, Jinwoo discovered that he had been asleep inside a hospital for three days and that all of his injuries had miraculously healed, including his right leg. He also noticed a strange program screen hovering above him with quest requirements written on it and eventually realized that nobody else could see it. Although he initially thought it was some kind of joke and went back to sleep, he quickly learned that it wasn't when he got sent to a penalty dungeon as punishment for not completing the quest on time.

As he never wanted to go back to the penalty dungeon again, Jinwoo decided to take the program seriously, which he later learned was called the System, and discovered that it worked almost like a video game, as it gave him rewards every time he completed one of its quests.

### Instant Dungeon Arc

After Jinwoo completed quests over the course of several days, the System directed him to an instant dungeon located near a subway station. Although he was initially intimidated by the fact that he had to solo the dungeon and couldn't leave until the dungeon was cleared, Jinwoo persisted and was ultimately able to kill the boss and all the other monsters inside the dungeon all by himself. Following this, he also started actively working out and investing in his strength stats, which prompted the System's magical effects to kick in and caused him to become much more handsome, muscular, and masculine over the course of only a few days.

### Dungeon & Lizards Arc

Despite having grown to the level of a B-Rank thanks to his training with the System, Jinwoo quickly realized that his funds were low due to having not participated in a raid since the Double Dungeon Incident. Seeking to make some money fast, he joined a C-Rank strike squad led by Hwang Dongsuk as their porter, where he also met a wealthy rookie D-Rank named Yoo Jinho. Although the raid initially proceeded without incident, Jinwoo eventually deduced that something was off with the rest of the squad, not including Jinho, and ultimately realized that they were a band of lizards when they trapped both him and Jinho inside the boss room.

Although Jinwoo was able to kill the boss, Hwang and his mates quickly returned and attempted to kill both him and Jinho so that they could hog all the raid profits to themselves. In response, the System gave him a quest to kill Hwang and his men, and Jinwoo followed through, easily slaughtering them all with his dagger.

### Dungeon & Prisoners Arc

About a day later, Jinwoo received a call from Jinho and the two met up at a local coffee shop, where Jinho thanked him for saving his life and asked him if they could form a strike squad together. Although Jinwoo initially refused, he changed his mind when Jinho explained that it would only be temporary and the two of them eventually struck a deal; Jinwoo would help Jinho finish 19 more raids so that he could become a guild master. In exchange, Jinho would keep Jinwoo's true strength a secret and give him a building worth 30B won (26M USD) once all 19 raids were complete.

Deciding to test himself out before he started going on raids with Jinho, Jinwoo entered a S-Rank instant dungeon called the Demon Castle and was almost immediately confronted by Cerberus, the dungeon's first boss. Although Jinwoo was able to kill Cerberus, he nearly died doing so and only won because of his **Status Recovery** skill. Realizing that it was suicide to venture any further into the dungeon, Jinwoo decided to return when he was stronger.
