**Drama Total: Volta ao Mundo em 40 Sambâga** é a quarta temporada do Drama Total.

## Volta ao Mundo em 40 Sambâga

Sendo mais curta que as primeiras duas temporadas, mas mais longa que a terceira, a quarta temporada conta com 16 concorrentes, dos quais 6 são novos para o programa. Pela primeira vez na história do Drama Total, as equipas nas quais os campistas são divididos não são duas, mas sim três equipas: a equipa Ganda Marmelo Tripolipopa, a equipa Eva Gorda Meireles, e a equipa VisãoJunior Não Presta.

Diferentemente das restantes temporadas, existe também o facto de que os campistas estarão alojados num avião que, a cada episódio, altera o seu destino para um país diferente.

## Twists

* **Três equipas iniciais** - No início do jogo, são criadas três equipas em vez das tradicionais duas. Nas cerimónias, duas destas terão a imunidade.
* Campista eliminado sem equipa - No primeiro episódio, um concorrente é eliminado antes da formação das equipas.
* Estátua da Imunidade - Escondida aleatoriamente na ilha, a Estátua da Imunidade garante uma segunda oportunidade ao campista que a encontra. Assim que este a usa, está imune nessa noite, mas volta a estar vulnerável logo a seguir.
* Voltanço - Nos episódios 9 e 10, uma pessoa regressa à competição.
* Merge de 8 - No episódio 11, os 8 campistas restantes juntam-se numa só equipa.

## Episódios

### Volta ao Mundo

Como já referido, cada episódio passa-se numa cidade diferente, e os desafios são baseados na cultura desses países.
Niran’s Father

Niran’s father is a resident of Anthropolis. His real name is currently not known.

## Niran’s Father

### Relatives

Meri (sister)Niran (son)

Kannika (daughter)

### Appearance

As with the case with his wife, his appearance is not confirmed as of now. Eventually a picture of him will be leaked.

Hypothetically, he would be a white, or very pale grey, wolf with greying hair and dull blue eyes. He doesn’t really resemble his children as much as their mother does, and he would probably be in a wheelchair. He wouldn’t leave the house very often, if at all, leaving most of the family outings to his sister, Meri.

He ia listed as “tall” and would probably be of a similar height to his son. However, since he will most likely not be seen standing properly, it won’t be confirmed what his actual height is.

## Trivia

* His appearance isn’t official yet.
* According to Niran, he’s suffered from four strokes. Maira doesn’t seem to believe it, but she may have done when she was a kitten.
Lana’s Death

> "*Well, if you’re sure I won’t bleed to death, I’ll choose to believe you this time, Arlo...but if I do, I’ll be back expecting a refund!*"
> ― Lana after tripping over, about two months before her death
>
>

Lana’s death was an event that took place during the events of Anthropolis. It’s described by Arlo the day after, when he has a flashback to what had happened the previous night.

## Events

On the night of her death, Arlo was walking Lana home on a street in Anthropolis. As it was dark, and they were essentially two young teens without an adult to protect them, they were an easy target for an attacker who approached them. With the intent of injuring Arlo, he made a run for him.

Lana, being the timid young rabbit she was, would have been initially shocked to see the man appear from under the cover of darkness, but, despite her general shyness, she ran forward to the attacker and fought him in Arlo’s place. Although he attempted to intervene once again, despite getting away with his life, Lana had seemingly taken a severe wound to the carotid artery. She lost too much blood to survive long enough for the ambulance to arrive and died from exsanguination.

* Maira, Jude and Nightingale appeared on the same street as the ambulance was preparing to leave. They had witnessed a body being wheeled inside, but did not know it was Lana as a white sheet had been put over her. The three only realised who it had been when they spoke to Arlo the next morning.
Jessica

Jessica is a resident of Anthropolis and a gangster. She’s been a member of the gang for about a year.

## General information

### Appearance

Jessica is, much like Emmy, an anthropomorphic mink. However, unlike the latter’s curly brown hair fading to blonde, Jessica has (bleached) blonde hair with brown lowlights. Her fur is also slightly paler than Emmy’s.

The former is also slightly shorter, and not a “thicc mink”.

### Personality

After meeting Em about a year ago, she ended up coming out of her shell and completely changing her appearance. She seems to look up to her a fair bit, also dying her hair to resemble the others in Emmy’s and Jude’s friendship group. She’s a closeted lesbian.

Jessica has feelings for Emmy, but doesn’t know she feels the same.
Frostbite

Frostbite is an anthropomorphic deer who lives with her girlfriend, Skeleton in the slum area of Anthropolis. She can also be selected as a playable character, as can Kannika, but Frost moves faster.

## General information

### Appearance

Probably coincidentally, Frost has a fairly similar colour scheme to Skeleton, but is significantly more blue than grey, unlike her. This is because of how Skeleton has greyed from medication, while Frost hasn’t.

### Personality

Frostbite is generally quite kind, but she is rather gullible and appears to be difficult at times.
Melanie Puschmann

> "*You've met Melanie? How are you still in one piece? She's cool towards me, I guess, but really - she's a literal bitch!*"
> ― Arlo, discovering Lana's interactions with Mel.
>
>

Melanie, known mostly by her nickname Mel, is a resident of Anthropolis, and a childhood friend of Arlo. She’s a notorious chavette, but generally has nothing to do with the gang.

## Melanie (Mel)

### Occupation

Student alongside Arlo. They also attended the same primary.

## General information

### Appearance

Melanie is an anthropomorphic Rottweiler with auburn hair pulled into a bun, and blue-green eyes.

On her reference sheet, she wears a grey bandeau top and dark blue tracksuit bottoms. She may have a black hoodie.

### Personality

Melanie has a reputation for being extremely vulgar, to even more of an extent than her sister Eliza, who she sometimes seems to dislike. She hangs around with the older 'chavettes' of Anthropolis Secondary.

Much like Eliza, her actions can sometimes be interpreted as a rebellious act towards their parents, who Mel stated were very strictly religious, instead of simply imitating her peers. As Isabella is the youngest, she was more favoured, leading her to go a different way from her sisters. However, it's unknown whether Isabella willingly practises the same faith or not.

## Trivia

* Her appearance and personality may be oddly familiar, although exaggerated, similarly to Eliza.
* As is the case with many characters in Anthropolis, including Niran, Kannika and Arlo, Melanie and her sisters take inspiration from people Blossom is acquainted with.
* She is most likely acquainted with Niran, and some of the gangsters.
* Blossom once jokingly stated that the major religion in Anthropolis, and the area where the Puschmanns grew up, is Hedgism, a joke religion she started when she was twelve. This may or may not be canon.
Jeju Island Raid Party

The **Jeju Island Raid Party**  was a S-Rank strike squad assembled by the Korean and Japanese governments in a fourth attempt to clear the Jeju Island S-Rank Gate. As a result, it was made up of S-Rank Hunters from both countries, six from Korea and ten from Japan.

Eternal Slumber

**Eternal Slumber** (익면증), also referred to as **Eternal Sleep Disease** in the anime, is a supernatural sleeping disorder that first appeared when humanity was exposed to the existence of Magic Beasts. Those who come down with this disease are intolerant to mana and as a result, they typically begin to develop symptoms after being exposed to a human who radiates mana, namely a hunter, for an extended period of time. Initially, the victim will begin to pass out against their will for much longer than normal, as displayed when Myung-Han fell asleep for almost an entire day, before fully succumbing to the disease's effects and falling into a coma.

On top of causing its victims to lose consciousness permanently, Eternal Slumber also quickly drains its victims of their life force. As a result, unless they hooked up to life support devices powered by essence stones, the disease will magically suck them dry and they will die. Unfortunately, these devices are not known for being cheap and as a result, many people have died from the disease as a result of their relatives not being able to afford a device.

Due to humanity's still-lacking knowledge on the practical applications of mana, there is no widely-available cure for Eternal Slumber. The only known cure for the disease is the Holy Water of Life, an extremely rare consumable item that can cure any ailment when ingested. As a result, only two people are known to have been successfully cured of the disease in recorded history.

## Notable Victims

* **Park Kyung-Hye**
* **Yoo Myunghan**
Evelyn

Evelyn is a returning resident of Anthropolis, and Maira’s best friend in childhood.

## Evelyn

### Relatives

Emilia (older sister)Esther (younger half-sister)

## General information

### Appearance

Herself, her older sister Emilia, and younger half-sister Esther, are anthropomorphic beige chinchillas, all about the same height as Lana.

Evelyn is the middle sister in her family, and as a recurring trope in families of three characters, similarly to Eliza Puschmann, her hair colour differs from that of her sisters. While Emilia and Esther are both blonde, Evelyn has light brown hair.

## History

At the primary school that she and Maira attended, they spent much of the second half of primary education as best friends, and one was almost never seen without the other. However, at 12 she had to move out of Anthropolis and to a nearby town due to her mother getting into legal trouble. Now that she’s almost 19, she’s moving back there with Esther. Although they haven’t been speaking face-to-face with Maira since they were 11, Evelyn is hoping to find her around Anthropolis soon. But it’s a big city, and she doesn’t know where to look.

## Trivia

* Similarly to characters like Niran and Kannika, the Puschmann sisters, and Arlo Mikalsson, Evelyn and co. are based loosely off real people who have been a former part of Blossom’s life.
Eliza Puschmann

Eliza is a resident of Anthropolis, and the middle sister in Melanie’s family.

### Occupation

Student in the same secondary school as Lana, Arlo, Niran, Melanie and Isabella. She’s in the year in between her sisters.

### Relatives

Melanie (older sister)Isabella (younger sister)

## General information

### Appearance

Eliza, alongside her sisters, doesn’t have an official drawing yet. She has the same blue-green eye colour as they do, but has a lighter hair colour. She also wears glasses, similarly to Isabella.

### Personality

Eliza is sometimes seen as a younger Melanie behaviourally. She occasionally associates with peers similar to her, but this doesn't make up the entirety of her friendship group. She's implied to know Arlo, due to them attending the same primary school, but they aren't particularly close.

Much like Melanie, her actions can sometimes be interpreted as a rebellious act towards their parents, who Mel stated were very strictly religious, instead of simply imitating her peers. As Isabella is the youngest, she was more favoured, leading her to go a different way from her sisters. However, it's unknown whether Isabella willingly practises the same faith or not.
Lana Verlegen

> "*I’m here for my promised full refund?*"
> ― Lana’s ghost, upon meeting Arlo again.
>
>

Leilani, more commonly known by her nickname Lana, is a former resident of Anthropolis.

## Lana

### Affiliation

A secondary school in Anthropolis (formerly)

### Relatives

Floris Verlegen and Eline Verlegen (parents, both alive)

## General information

### Appearance

Lana was a white rabbit with black ears, forearms (this idea was later scrapped) and legs, and hazel eyes. She had shoulder-length dark-purple hair.

When she was alive, her typical outfit was a pale purple sundress, with a small flower under her ear. This changed to a longer, more flowing pale dress as a ghost. She is also shown with *hitodama* either side, and has two ghostly tails to replace her legs.

As noted by Arlo, as a ghost she wears a red metallic cuff on her wrist with a chain attached, that floats around with her. This is here since after Lana’s death she remained as a ghost since she felt “attached” to Arlo. As his favourite colour is red, the chain is too, to represent this. After meeting her spirit he wears a red chain on his own wrist as a nod to this.

Had she survived the attack, she would eventually stand at around the same height as her mother.

### Personality

Lana, similarly to Nightingale, initially appeared to be fairly timid on first meeting the others. Unlike the latter, however, she didn’t seem to even cope with being too near anyone else, if Arlo wasn’t nearby. After meeting the others, though, she gradually warms up; she remained very quiet but she became more comfortable with other characters other than Arlo after her death.

Most likely owing to her being a rabbit, she was able to outrun many of the adults in Anthropolis, despite tripping over many times. As a ghost, she no longer uses this ability.

Her MBTI type is INFJ-T.

## Quotes

> "*It’s just a knee-scrape...No, I’m not about to bleed to death...and if I do, Arlo, you’d better give me a refund!*"
> ― Lana, after tripping over and cutting her knee.
>
>

> "*Well, uh...if I can float through walls now, can’t I float down there?*"
> ― Referring to the secret underground floor of Anthropolis Secondary.
>
>

## Trivia

* Darkest Blossom has joked that Lana’s hair looks like a darker version of James from Pokémon’s Team Rocket.
* She’s the only one of Darkest Blossom’s OCs to have natural colouring not found in the species.
* One of the spirits that appear alongside Lana sometimes has a “sympathy lily“. This was eventually changed to a tulip, although there are no new illustrations depicting this.
* Lana was originally planned to have long pastel purple hair, and LoveLife4Eva wanted her to have red eyes. Darkest Blossom liked, but eventually scrapped this idea, since it would look too similar to Reisen Udongein Inaba from the *Touhou Project.*
* Her surname comes from the Dutch word for shy, *verlegen*.
* It’s unknown what will happen to her and Arlo once he becomes “too old” to be with a fourteen-year-old by social norms. However, they will likely never lose contact with each other.
Anthropolis Secondary

Anthropolis Secondary is the school where most of the known secondary school-age characters attend. It’s one of five high schools in the city.

## Current Students

### Key Stage 4/5

#### Year 10

* Melanie
* Lana
* Arlo
* Arlo’s Friend

#### Year 12

* Emmy’s Brother
* Natalie

## Former Students

* Kannika (graduated 3 years ago)
* Jude (graduated 4 years ago)

## Trivia

* The general layout of the school bears resemblance to Blossom and Elegance's school. However, there are some differences that play a part in storylines set in this part of the city, including the secret floor underneath the lower-ground floor.
* Darkest Blossom once joked that she was the true headteacher of the school. Why? She can access, and does indeed have a Pages note on, the grades of the characters! (Arlo's doing great!)
* Skeleton at some point joined the school as a PE teacher. Whether she still teaches is open to debate, but she definitely worked at the school when Jude (and likely Kannika) attended.
* Emilia, Evelyn and Esther never attended the school.
* You can't use an acronym to refer to the school. It's just ***A****nthropolis **S**econdary **S**chool.*
Maira Lorelei

Maira Lorelei (given name Olena) is a resident of Anthropolis and a member of the gang.

### Relatives

Melinda Lorelei (mother, deceased)Unnamed father

## General information

### Appearance

Maira is an anthropomorphic Eurasian lynx, and described as "rather tall" compared to other women of her species. Her appearance varies between seasons; while predominantly brown in colour during summer, she has a greyer coat reminiscent of her original design. Owing to her being a lynx she remarks that "ideally, [she] would have a longer tail, but what can I do?"

### Personality

Maira, on meeting Skele, was initially very cold and harsh, as were most of the gang, and she remains a fairly serious character in most cases. She does what Sabre commands to the letter: while she can be seen as a “bad” character, this is mainly due to her fierce loyalty.

She will resort to violence if she needs to: she’s well-versed in combat, and commands respect due to this fact.

## Relationships

Jude - One of Maira’s best friends in the gang. It isn’t currently known if they were still dating when Maira left.

Emmy - A mutual friend of Maira and Jude’s.

Sabre - Maira’s boss. As he gave her a place to stay when she left home, she is extremely loyal to him.

Niran - Maira’s childhood sweetheart. They were dating when Maira was about eleven or so, but they soon were forced to separate,

Her father - His drug use was the reason Maira left home. It's unknown whether they have spoken since.

Melinda - Melinda passed away when her daughter was about three years old, so she never really knew her until she met her ghost about fifteen years after her death.

## Trivia

* From her creation in mid-2018 to early 2021, she was a domestic cat, but she alongside some other characters had their species changed. Her older (but not first) design is the photo shown here.
* "Maira Lorelei" is most likely not her real name, but the reason she goes by this is currently unknown. She is referred to as "Olena" by her mother, so it can be assumed this is her birth name.
	+ "Olena" is a reference to the Pokémon character of the same name (Oleana, from Pokémon Sword and Shield), and Maira and Oleana's similar backstories (both were originally poor, but were helped by the leader of an "evil" organisation and so become extremely loyal to him, and eventually become his second-in-command). This was most likely coincidence as Maira was created over a year before the release of Sword and Shield, but did not gain the name Olena until much later.

#####
Park Beom-Shik

**Park Beom-Shik** (팍) was a Korean D-Rank Hunter and a good friend of Kim Sangshik. He was tragically killed during the first Double Dungeon Incident when a statue sliced him clean in half from behind.

## Appearance

Park was a chubby middle-aged man man with curly black hair. During the Double Dungeon Incident, he wore a green sweater over a black shirt, track pants, and sneakers.

## Personality

Park cared a great deal about his family, to the point that he went back to hunting to make enough cash to financially support them. He was also unsure in his skills as a hunter, as he stated to Kim that he wasn't sure if he was still good at hunting after being out of it for so long.

## Abilities

Although not much was shown about his skill, Park was evidently competent for his rank, as he was able to fight fairly well against the D-Rank monsters in his last dungeon raid. He was also implied to be ambidextrous, as he fought with a pair of axes.

Cup of Reincarnation

The **Cup of Reincarnation** is an item created by the Absolute Being that has the power to rewind time.

## Appearance

The Cup of Reincarnation is a large ornamental chalice with yellow trims, indigo-colored glass, and a light blue stem.

## History

The cup was first created eons ago by the Absolute Being. After the Rulers murdered him for his cruelty towards them, they took his place as the new Gods and stole his tools for themselves, including the cup.

Centuries later, when their first attempt to prevent the Monarchs from destroying the human world failed, the Rulers used the cup to rewind time ten years back and give themselves another chance. Unfortunately, this only prolonged what seemed inevitable, as the human world would always be destroyed regardless of which side won the war. Even worse, despite the fact that it was created by God himself, the cup's power was not infinite and as a result, the Rulers eventually realized that it was starting to wear out.

Ten years before the events of the main storyline, the Rulers turned to their last resort by spawning gates and exposing mankind to the existence of magic beasts. This way, it would only take take a few years for the human world to be saturated with enough mana to withstand the brunt of their war with the Monarchs. Also, assuming that they won the war, the Rulers would no longer have to use the cup.

### Final Battle Arc

After he defeated Antares, Jinwoo asked the Rulers to use the Cup of Reincarnation one last time so that he could bring back all the people he lost in the war with the Monarchs. Although the Rulers warned him that no one would remember him if he did this and that they were doomed if he failed, as the cup only had enough power left for one last run, Jinwoo remained adamant in his decision. Realizing that Jinwoo intended on carrying on everything by himself, the Rulers wished him the best of luck and used the cup one last time, completing exhausting its power and sending them all ten years back into the past.

## Abilities

The cup has the unique ability to turn back time 10 years each time it is activated. However, it does not have unlimited power and can become useless if it is used too many times. It also does not affect the Monarchs and the Rulers, as they are able to retain their powers and memories of the original timeline after the cup is used.
Kill the Enemies

**Kill the Enemies** is an emergency quest that triggers whenever another human attacks Jinwoo with the intent to kill. This quest completes when Jinwoo slaughters anyone in the proximity who is trying to kill him. If he does not complete it, then the System will kill Jinwoo itself by stopping his heart.

## Instructions

*There are enemies nearby that intend to kill the Player. Destroy all your foes to ensure your safety. If you fail to follow these orders, you will be given a penalty.*
Knights

Hollow knights are a type of Magic Beast.

## Abilities

The knights were sword wielding close range fighters covered in heavy armor. The armor was strong enough that It was difficult for Jin-Woo to cut through it while Jin-Woo was still in the B-rank. As shadows, the knights were at B-ranked as measured by the Hunter's Association.
Ice Elves

**Ice Elves** (백귀), also known as **Hyakki** or **Ice Slayers**, are a race of elves typically found in frozen environments. They were ruled by the Frost Monarch, the King of Snow Folk and one of the nine Monarchs. In terms of appearance, they are about the same size as humans and have blue skin, white hair, and sharp white eyes.

Unlike most magic beasts, they possess human-level intelligence and are skilled fighters, wielding bows and daggers in battle. They also all seem to be able to use Stealth collectively and appear to be very sadistic, as they take great pleasure in slaughtering humans.
Ippei Izawa

**Ippei Izawa** (이자와 잇페이) was a Japanese S-Rank Hunter under the Draw Sword Guild.

## Appearance

Ippei was a young man with black hair, pale skin, and sharp facial features.

In his first appearance, he wore a black hoodie with red linings and red skull-like pattern on the top of the hood. During the 4th Jeju Island Raid, he wore a modified version of his guild's standard black battle uniform with a hood.

## Personality

Ippei was implied to be introverted and had a dry sense of humor, as displayed when he plainly stated that the temperature would just go from cold to hot if Kei fought Choi Jong-In. He did, however, hold his guild members in high esteem and was distraught when he discovered their corpses.

## History

Four days before the 4th Jeju Island Raid was slated to take place, Ippei met up with the rest of the Jeju Island Raid Party inside the Korean Hunters Gym. Despite being a damage dealer, Ippei did not participate in any of the sparring matches, although he display concern when Goto's sparring bout with Jinwoo started to get out of hand.

During the 4th Jeju Island Raid, Ippei was grouped with Kei in Team Delta and the two of them were able to easily kill off scores of ants. Things continued to go as planned until Team Charlie suddenly stopped answering their coms, prompting Goto to order Ippei and Kei to go find them. Much to their horror, they ultimately discovered that the entire group had been killed, with their headless corpses laying around on the ground. Before they could warn their surviving guildmates, however, the Ant King ambushed them and easily killed them both.

## Abilities

As a hunter whose abilities were recognized by Goto, Ippei was obviously competent for a S-Rank.

* **Enhanced Speed:** Ippei was able to travel fast enough to practically fly across Jeju Island.

## Etymology

* The name **Ippei** means "one" (一) (**ip**) and "flat, broad, level, even, peaceful" (平) (**hei**/**pei**).
* Ippei's surname **Izawa** means "that one" (伊) (**i**) and "marsh" (沢) (**sawa**/**zawa**).

Atsushi Kumamoto

**Atsushi Kumamoto** (쿠마모토 아츠시) is a Japanese S-Rank Hunter under the Draw Sword Guild.

## Appearance

Kumamoto is a young man with long messy black hair and sharp facial features. He wears a white surgical mask and has a white eyepatch covering his left eye. In his frenzied state, his eyes glow light red.

## Personality

Despite his level of strength, Kumamoto is a coward and loses his composure very easily. In battle, he prefers to go after the weakest opponent from the start and even then, often attacks them from behind.

## History

Four days before the 4th Jeju Island Raid was slated to take place, Kumamoto met up with the rest of the Jeju Island Raid Party inside the Korean Hunters' Gym. He participated in the 4v4 sparring match between the two teams and initially faced off against Baek Yoonho before changing targets to Cha Hae-In. When he got carried away against her, however, Jinwoo intervened to save her from injury and incapacitated him when he refused to back down.

During the 4th Jeju Island Raid, Kumamoto was a member of Team Bravo alongside Kanae. He was later seen leaving the island alongside Kanae and Hoshino following the raid's end.

## Abilities

As a hunter whose abilities were recognized by Goto Ryuji, Kumamoto is obviously competent as a S-Rank. He is also said to be able to clear B-Rank Gates all by himself.

* **Enhanced Strength:** Kumamoto was able to create wind pressure by simply swinging his hand and easily punch a large hole through the ground of the Korean Hunters' Gym.
* **Enhanced Durability:** Kumamoto was able to keep going after after Cha barraged him in the face with her punches and made him bleed.
* **Enhanced Speed:** Kumamoto was able to keep up with Baek in their sparring bout and easily dodge his attacks. He was also displayed to be faster than Cha and would have easily landed a kick on her had Jinwoo not jumped in and blocked his strike.
* **Berserker State:** Kumamoto has the unique ability to go into a frenzied state whenever he is severely injured, causing him to attack indiscriminately with no sense of fear or self-control. However, it's unclear whether this ability is a passive skill, a mental illness, or some kind of defense mechanism.

## Etymology

* The name **Atsushi** means "pure" (淳).
* Atsushi's surname **Kumamoto** means "bear" (熊) (**kuma**) and "base, root, origin, source" (本) (**moto**).

Park Jongsoo

**Park Jongsoo** (박종수) is a Korean A-Rank Hunter and the Guild Master of the Knights Guild.

## Appearance

Jongsoo is a plain-looking young man with short black hair. In his first appearance, he wore a formal three-piece suit. On raids, he wears a suit of gray-bluish armor with yellow trims.

## Personality

Jongsoo is a bold individual who isn't afraid to say what's on his mind, especially when people insult him. He is also greedy, as displayed when he tried to steal some of the essence stones on Jeju Island for himself, and has a competitive side, as he wasn't willing to give up an A-Rank Gate that had spawned on his turf to the Fame Guild. Unfortunately, he is also somewhat naïve, as he genuinely believed that he would be able to merge his guild's with Jinwoo's without considering just how much influence Jinwoo had.

## Abilities

As an A-Rank Tank, Jongsoo is one of the top hunters in his guild.

* **Enhanced Strength:** Jongsoo was able to block an attack from a twin-headed ogre without any visible strain and generate small bursts of wind pressure with just a few kicks.
* **Enhanced Speed:** Jongsoo was able to easily dodge Hanekawa's attacks during their sparring match.
* **Energy Shield:** Jongsoo was able to create a large, light blue energy shield to protect himself.

S-Rank

**S-Rank** is the highest rank a Hunter can obtain.

## Overview

S-Rank Hunters are distinguished by the fact that their mana levels are so high that they can't be measured by mana meter technology. As the vast majority of Hunters never reach that level of power, S-Rank Hunters are very rare amongst the human population, with only a handful per country and a few hundred worldwide. As a result of this and the rising demand, S-Ranks are highly valued wherever they go and are typically rolling in money.

It should also be noted that a fight between S-Ranks typically devastates the surrounding landscape and that S-Ranks are so powerful that it is virtually impossible to hold them accountable if they commit crimes, as displayed by how Jinwoo never faced charges for the murder of Hwang Dongsoo.

However, as their mana levels can't be measured, there is no power cap on S-Ranks like there is with the lower ranks. As a result, the power gaps between S-Ranks is the highest out of any other rank. Also, unless the power gap between two S-Ranks is very large, it is virtually impossible to accurately compare them in strength. As a result, S-Ranks are ranked internationally by their achievements via a point system created by the Federal Bureau of Hunters, and not by their raw power or mana levels.
Death Knights

**Death Knights** are a race of undead monsters that appeared during the raid on the Busan Gate. Although not much is known about their abilities, they are implied to be strong enough to take on A-Rank Hunters in battle.

Just like one would expect them to look like given their names, Death Knights are large skeletal warriors with blank red eyes, gray skin, and gray armor covering them from head to toe. They also wield gray swords and generally have horns.
D-Rank Dungeon Arc

**D-Rank Dungeon Arc** is the 1st story arc of the series.

## Premise

While on a D-Rank dungeon raid, E-Rank Hunter Sung Jinwoo and his raid party discover a second hidden dungeon inside the gate. They decide to check it out, but realize too late that it's a trap and find themselves locked in with no way out and surrounded by statues who attack them if they make the slightest error.
Bae Yoon-Suk

**Bae Yoon-Suk** is the leader of the Hunters Guild's mining team. Although he appears in the webtoon, he is only named in the novel.

## Appearance

Yoonsuk is a middle-aged man with black hair and a neatly trimmed mustache and beard. He wears a yellow vest over the standard gray mining uniform.

## Personality

Yoonsuk is a friendly and open individual who does not seem to care for ranks, as he demonstrated by his pleasant attitude towards Jinwoo on his first day. He also has a great respect for good work and went as far as to personally get Jinwoo a double pay raise for his incredible mining skills.

## History

As the leader of the Hunter Guild's mining team, Yoonsuk served as Jinwoo's boss when the latter signed up to make some fast cash, unaware of the fact that Jinwoo was actually a S-Rank Hunter.
Siddharth Bachchan

Groctar

**Groctar** was an orc warlord who led an attack on Jinah's school.

## Appearance

Groctar was a large and muscular green-skinned orc with long black hair, glowing red eyes, a large X-shaped scar on his chest, and dark red tattoos. He wielded a gray sword with a brownish-yellow hilt and wore a tattered black loincloth.

## Personality

Due to the voices coming from the essence stone inside his body, Groctar was extremely murderous towards humans. He also looked down on high orcs and was disgusted that his warriors could not defeat them. At the same time, however, he was capable of showing great fear, as displayed when his entire tribe was single-handedly slaughtered by Jinwoo.

## History

While waiting inside his throne room, Groctar learned from one of his warriors that the others were getting pummeled by a trio of high orcs. Disgusted by their incompetence, Groctar decided to step in and do the job himself.

When the high orcs continued to regenerate and reform no matter how many times he shred them to pieces, Groctar realized that they were magically connected to someone in the room and deduced that the special someone was Jinah. With the voices in his head getting worse and worse, Groctar attempted to kill her by bashing her skull in, but before he could do it, he sensed a terrifying presence closing in fast from outside. Realizing that they were in danger, Groctar immediately dropped Jinah to the ground and yelled at his warriors to retreat back to the gate just before Jinwoo and Kaisel came crashing through a nearby wall, sending debris flying everywhere.

## Abilities

As a S-Rank magic beast, Groctar was a considerably powerful individual. He was also strong enough to have sharp senses, as evidenced by how he was able to quickly realize that Jinwoo's orc shadows were somehow all connected to Jinah.

* **Enhanced Strength:** Groctar was able to easily overpower three high orcs at once.
Essence Stones

**Essence Stones** are small glowing stones that are found inside the corpses of Magic Beasts. They are generally very valuable and serve as the primary source of income for most Hunters around the world alongside Mana Crystals.

Naturally, an Essence Stone's worth is determined by its rank and quality. As a result, E-Rank Essence Stones sell for very little cash since they are so common and low-quality, while S-Rank Essence Stones sell for millions due to how rare and top-quality they are. It should also be noted that the color of an Essence Stone depends on its rank. For example, D-Rank Essence Stones are white, A-Rank Essence Stones are red, and S-Rank Essence Stones are purple.

Essence Stones can be used to forge equipment and weapons with special properties that Hunters can use. However, its true value in the human world is as a long-lasting and highly efficient energy source, given that Kamish's Essence Stone was used to power the FBH's HQ for nearly a decade.

It is later revealed that the Rulers created Essence Stones and implanted them inside the Magic Beasts that they captured during their first war with the Monarchs to have them kill humans and in turn, saturate the human world with large amounts of mana so that mankind wouldn't be wiped out during their eventual rematch with the Monarchs.
Song Chi-Yul

**Song Chi-Yul** (송치열) is a Korean C-Rank Hunter and kumdo teacher. He is also one of Jinwoo's old friends, having known him since he was a E-Rank Hunter, and a survivor of the Double Dungeon.

## Appearance

Chi-Yul is a thin middle-aged man with blonde hair, prominent wrinkles, and no left arm, due to having lost it during his experience in the Double Dungeon. In his first appearance, he wore a simple blue tracksuit.

 Personality

Chi-Yul is a lively and sarcastic man with a strong sense of duty, to the point that he refused to retire from hunting even after losing his right arm in the Double Dungeon. He also cares for his comrades, as demonstrated by his interactions with Jinwoo and Joohee, and was willing to sacrifice himself for them on multiple occasions.

Although he prefers to hunt with a plan in mind, Chi-Yul is willing to take risks from time to time. However, he is also open to the opinions of others and never forces anyone into doing anything they don't want to.

## Abilities

Chi-Yul is a competent fire user and rarely had any trouble out in the field as a result. He is also a master at kumdo and was even able to teach it to Cha Hae-In. Chi-Yul also has a surprising amount of endurance, to the point that he was able to function normally even after the Statue of God fried his right arm off.

## History

### D-Rank Dungeon Arc

The Statue of God first appeared when Jinwoo and the rest of his raid party entered the Double Dungeon. When several members of the raid party attempted to escape upon realizing that the dungeon was a trap, the Statue of God effortlessly disintegrated them with its heat vision and only stopped when Jinwoo had everybody kneel to the statue.

With the first phase of the test complete, the Statue of God smiled and stood up from its throne. It started walking through the humans, killing those who were either too slow to get out of its way or failed to realize that it wouldn't attack them if they ran towards a statue with an instrument.

### Double Dungeon Arc

During his test of Jinwoo's abilities, the Architect had him fight his puppets, including the Statue of God. The Statue of God attempted to fry Jinwoo to ashes with its heat vision and stomp him flat, but Jinwoo dodged all of its attacks and was able to take the statue down by hitting it in the face with a barrage of powerful punches.

## Abilities

As the Architect's strongest puppet, the Statue of God was an immensely powerful individual.

* **Immense Strength:** The Statue of God possessed immense physical strength.
* **Immense Durability:** The Statue of God possessed immense durability.

* **Heat Vision:** The Statue of God was able to fire super-heated beams of energy from its eyes. According to Jinwoo, these beams of energy were so potent that even he wouldn't have survived a direct hit from them at the time.

Red Gate Incident

The **Red Gate Incident** was a disastrous event in which a C-Rank Gate that was bought out by White Tiger Guild turned out to be a Red Gate.

## Overview

The raid was originally intended to serve as a simple training exercise for the guild's new recruits and the team that was assembled for the raid was not qualified enough to effectively handle a Red Gate, with only one A-Rank by the name of Kim Chul in the entire group. As a result, out of the fourteen hunters that entered the gate, only five returned alive and Chul was not among them.

Chul's death was a huge loss for the White Tiger Guild, as he had represented a significant investment and had been set to join the guild's elite strike squad. The number of hunters killed in the incident was high enough to the point that it made national headlines, with even Min Byung-Gyu knowing about it despite having been in Japan at the time. However, as he did not want the other top guilds finding out about Jinwoo before he even had a proper chance to recruit him, Baek Yoonho did not allow the press to interview the survivors and denied the rumors that the survivors had received help from another stronger hunter.
Laura

**Laura** (로라) is the secretary of the Scavenger Guild.

## Appearance

Laura is a young woman with blue eyes and blonde hair that she wears in a bun. She is usually displayed wearing a black business suit.

## Personality

Laura is a composed individual who rarely ever shows any emotion. She usually behaves in a professional manner and is very respectful towards the S-Ranks she works for, notably Thomas Andre and Hwang Dongsoo.
Sung Jinah

**Sung Jinah** (성진아) is Jinwoo's younger sister.

## Appearance

Jinah is a young girl with large gray eyes and brownish-black hair that she typically wears in a ponytail.

## Personality

Jinah is a cheery, playful, and diligent girl with a strong sense of family and a close relationship to her brother, as he supported her financially and virtually raised her after their father went missing and their mother fell into a coma. A running gag to her character is her bad habit of hitting Jinwoo with her foot out of irritation only to end up hurting herself due to how durable he is.

## History

Jinah was born about 15-17 years before the events of the main storyline to Sung Il-Hwan and Park Kyung-Hye. Ten years prior to the first Double Dungeon Incident, her father was presumed dead when he mysteriously disappeared inside a dungeon during a raid. Six years later, her mother suddenly developed symptoms of Eternal Slumber and fell into a coma soon after.

With both of their parents out of the picture, Jinwoo was forced to raise Jinah in their place and take over as the breadwinner of the family. Although Jinah did her part and got top marks in school, her brother proved to be incompetent as a hunter and nearly died on just about every raid he went on for the next four years. This caused her to worry about him whenever he went to work and she eventually prepared to drop out of school and get a job if there was ever a day that Jinwoo got injured so badly that he wouldn't be able to support the two of them anymore.

Lim Tae-Gyu

**Lim Tae-Gyu** (림태규) is a Korean S-Rank hunter who specializes in archery magic and the Guild Master of the Fiend Guild.

## Appearance

Lim is a young man with shaggy black hair and a small goatee. In his first appearance, he wore a black tux. During the Jeju Island Raid, he wore a suit of brown armor and a hat with a light gold bow.

## Personality

Lim appears to be somewhat unconfident in his abilities as a hunter, as displayed when he silently hoped to himself that the Japanese hunters would go easy on him and his teammates during their 4v4 sparring match. However, he is happy to do his job when he is needed. Ironically, despite how rich he is, he appears to be a bit of a penny-pincher, as he ordered his guild members to move Lee Minsung to the safest position in the attack formation during the Jeju Island Raid due to how much he was worth.

## History

Prior to the start of the story, Tae-Gyu was the leader of South Korea's top Guild but stopped becoming that when Yoon-Ho and some of its' member split to form their own Guild.

### Jeju Island Arc

Tae-Gyu was present and was watching the sparring between Dong-Wook, leader and founder of the Fame Guild, and Yoon-Ho of the White Tiger Guild. After it ended, Japan's S-ranks made themselves known where Goto offered a proposal; a 4 vs 4 sparring match in which Tae-Gyu was one of the participants. During the match, Tae-Gyu was quickly subdued by Minoru and was taken out for the rest of the match. He was present when Jinwoo, the newest S-rank, decides to challenge Goto and decides to watch like the rest.

Moments before he was dropped into the Jeju Island, Tae-Gyu was seen ordering one of his subordinates to place Minsung in the rear lines as he was incredibly costly to hire. Soon after, he was dropped into the monster-infested Jeju Island along with his country's fellow S-rank Hunter.

## Abilities

Lim is the best ranger-type hunter in Korea and performs well in battle even without his bow. However, this also means that he works best from a distance and is at a tremendous disadvantage in close combat. He is also shown to be weak for his rank, given by how easily Hoshino was able to defeat him in their sparring match.

* **Enhanced Durability:** Lim was able to retain consciousness and get back up after getting slugged in the face by the Ant King.
* **Magic Arrows:** Lim can instantaneously create magic arrows from his hands. These arrows pack a good punch and were able not only damage the interior of the Korean Hunters' Gym with little trouble, but also easily pierce through the Ant Queen's skin.
* **Master Archer:** Lim is a very skilled archer and is able to deliver precise shots to his opponents' weak spots.
