The Routine Raid
Sung Jin-Woo, known as the "World's Weakest Hunter," is invited to join a small group of hunters on a supposedly low-level dungeon raid. Jin-Woo accepts the invitation despite knowing it will be a dangerous job, as he desperately needs the money for his family. Though dungeons usually vary in difficulty, low-level ones are typically manageable for hunters of Jin-Woo’s rank.
With the expectation of an easy raid, the team enters the dungeon. However, as they progress through the corridors and chambers, Jin-Woo senses that something isn’t right. Even though the dungeon initially appears straightforward, the unsettling silence and eerie aura make the hunters uneasy. Their suspicions are confirmed when they stumble upon an entrance to a hidden chamber, unlike anything they’ve ever seen. They have unknowingly entered a rare and deadly Double Dungeon.
The Hidden Dungeon: Rules of Life and Death
The hunters, including Jin-Woo, are intrigued by the discovery of this secondary dungeon but are cautious, as they have no idea what lies within. However, curiosity and greed for potential rewards override their caution, and the team proceeds deeper into the hidden dungeon.
As they enter, they are confronted with rows of giant stone statues arranged like a terrifying army. In the center stands a colossal statue, seated on a throne, with a menacing aura that fills the hunters with dread. To their horror, they quickly realize that this room is governed by a series of deadly "Rules", engraved on an ancient stone tablet:
- The first rule: "Worship the Lord."
- The second rule: "Praise the Lord."
- The third rule: "Prove your faith."
The hunters must follow these rules exactly. Any deviation results in instant and brutal death. As they struggle to interpret and obey these rules, they witness several hunters being mercilessly slaughtered by the stone statues, whose eyes glow with murderous intent if the hunters make a wrong move.
The Fight for Survival
Jin-Woo, though terrified, manages to keep his wits about him. As hunters fall around him, he begins to understand the dungeon’s twisted logic and helps his remaining teammates interpret and follow each rule carefully. The first rule requires them to kneel and "worship" the statue, and the second demands they "praise" the lord by clapping. These tasks are deceptively simple, yet one wrong move proves fatal.
As they approach the third rule, "Prove your faith," Jin-Woo and the remaining hunters realize that this challenge is the most dangerous. One by one, the survivors are forced to endure torturous trials that test their resilience and determination. Eventually, Jin-Woo is the last one standing, battered and barely able to move.
The Sacrifice and Awakening
When the final challenge demands a life sacrifice, Jin-Woo volunteers himself, allowing the last of his comrades a chance to escape. His bravery in the face of death earns him the respect of the few remaining hunters, who flee while Jin-Woo confronts his impending demise alone.
As he lies on the ground, beaten and exhausted, something extraordinary happens. Jin-Woo receives a mysterious notification from an entity called the "System." The System presents him with a question: "Do you wish to become a Player?" With no other option and nothing left to lose, Jin-Woo accepts, and this decision forever changes his destiny.
Rebirth as a Player
Upon accepting, Jin-Woo is granted a unique ability—he becomes a "Player" within the world, possessing a leveling system similar to a video game character. This new ability allows him to gain strength and level up by completing quests and defeating monsters, a power no other hunter has ever experienced.
Jin-Woo wakes up in a hospital, alive but profoundly changed. His mind reels with questions about the System, his strange new powers, and the life-altering events in the Double Dungeon. Determined to uncover the truth behind the System and grow stronger, he sets out on a journey to master his powers, knowing he has been given a rare second chance.
