Jinchul Woo is a top A-class hunter and the president of the Hunter’s Association—but that is a tale from another timeline. In a world where gates and magic beasts and hunters are nothing but fiction, Jinchul Woo is now a detective with the violent crimes investigation unit, and his latest cases have been...well, “strange” doesn’t even begin to describe them. Criminals keep turning themselves in out of fear of being torn to pieces by some otherworldly shadow ant creatures, and his only lea...

Thus far, Jinwoo has managed to keep his rapid evolution hidden from his fellow hunters. When he arrives at his latest assignment, though, he is greeted by a group of familiar faces-Joohee, Mr. Song, and the other survivors of the double dungeon are gathered for the raid, and his comrades can’t help but notice Jinwoo’s drastic change in stature! Jinwoo intends to act the weakling he was before, but when their party is joined by a group of criminals and their association minder, Jinwoo may ...

"MAY ALL THAT YOU WISH TO PROTECT BURN TO ASHES…” Having witnessed the staggering power of the Shadow Monarch, Jinwoo can’t wait to level up and reach those heights, and what better way to do so than to mobilize his army of soldiers against an S-rank dungeon’s worth of giants? Saving a country abandoned by the rest of the world has its benefits-international renown, the expansion of his guild, an invitation to the most prestigious hunter conference in the world-but perhaps the most unexpec...

After his victory on Jeju Island, the top guilds are all clamoring to recruit Jinwoo Sung, the strongest S-rank hunter and the hero of Korea—a far cry from the hapless E-rank hunter he used to be. As exciting as each new development is, however, Jinwoo’s eager to finally get some answers, so an invitation from the system to return to the double dungeon that changed his life is a welcome opportunity. He’ll have to put the visit on the back burner, though, because first things first—Jinwoo h...

“IT’S SHOWTIME.”The news has made headlines-"Korea and Japan join hands to exterminate the terrifying magic beasts on Jeju Island once and for all!” It’s a monumental moment for the people of the country…and it has absolutely nothing to do with Jinwoo. Instead, the newest S-rank hunter’s number one priority is bringing his recently recovered mother back home where she belongs at last. When the situation on Jeju Island takes a devastating turn for the worse, though, will the country's top h...

Known as the Weakest Hunter of All Mankind, E-rank hunter Jinwoo Sung’s contribution to raids amounts to trying not to get killed. Unfortunately, between his mother’s hospital bills, his sister’s tuition, and his own lack of job prospects, he has no choice but to continue to put his life on the line. So when an opportunity arises for a bigger payout, he takes it…only to come face-to-face with a being whose power outranks anything he’s ever seen! With the party leader missing an arm and the...

Jinwoo knows it won’t be long before his true power fully comes to light and the guilds and Hunter’s Association of Korea descend, seeking his allegiance. Since his training has thus far been a solo endeavor, Jinwoo decides he ought to at least see what an A-rank raid is really like. Joining the Hunters’ excavation team is the perfect opportunity to assess a high-level guild in action, even if his role is limited to hauling and mining. That is, until a particularly nasty dungeon boss requi...

Outnumbered a hundred to one, Jinwoo and his shadow army ready themselves for the fight that will determine the fate of the whole world. As hunters worldwide gather to make mankind’s last stand, Jinwoo focuses on the gate closest to home and those he loves. A superior strategy is his only hope in the face of such overwhelming odds, but as the first wave emerges, it’s clear his foes are already a step ahead of the new Shadow Monarch...Has Jinwoo leveled up enough to defend humanity from cer...

“MAY YOUR COURAGE SAVE YOUR WORLD.”The Monarch of Destruction and the armies of Chaos have descended upon Earth, leaving nothing but death and carnage in their wake. The fate of humanity lies in the hands of the newly crowned Shadow Monarch, Jinwoo Sung. Who will be the final victor when the dust settles on this timeless feud?And more importantly, will there be anything left of the world to save?

Much to Jinwoo and Haein’s surprise, their toddler son is showing signs of inheriting the powers of a Shadow Monarch! Luckily, they’re able to suppress his abilities to give him a normal childhood...but years later, something strange starts to happen as the now teenage Sooho suddenly starts to have strange dreams about being trapped in some sort of dungeon with monsters galore!

“THIS WILL EITHER BE THE END OF HUMAN HISTORY OR A NEW BEGINNING.”The murders of several distinguished S-rank hunters rock the world, and Jinwoo knows it’s only a matter of time before the perpetrators strike again. The declaration of war comes earlier than expected, however, in the form of a colossal gate looming in the skies above Seoul. With the Hunter’s Association of Korea struggling to adjust to its new normal and the Monarchs picking off the top hunters one by one, will Jinwoo be ab...

The joint expedition between South Korea and Japan to the ant-infested Jeju Island is well underway, and the Korean team has successfully located the queen. Taking her out should finally spell the long-awaited closing of the S-rank gate. But little do they know that wings aren’t the only mutation the latest generation of ants has gone through— and having made short work of the Japanese hunters, the queen’s strongest soldier is now headed straight for them!
