Skills
Mana manipulation: It is a fundamental yet versatile ability in a world rich with magical energy. It allows practitioners to interact with the ambient mana weave directly, shaping and directing this energy to achieve a variety of effects.
Shadow Dash(Basic): A burst of shadow energy propels Sung Jin-Woo forward, allowing him to close the distance with enemies and unleash a surprise attack.
Sword Throw(Basic): The user launches their sword as a projectile, dealing significant damage on impact. The sword can be recalled with a high degree of precision.
Shadow Strike:(Basic) A swift and precise attack that delivers a devastating blow with the sword, empowered by shadows.
Bloodlust: Jinwoo is able to magically intimidate an enemy combatant into submission, inducing intense fear into those who are targeted by this technique and decreasing their stats by 50%. It can also be used on multiple opponents at once
Sung Jinwoo closed the interface and decided to take some rest. Just then, a notification pops up from the Hunter's Association, calling hunters for an urgent D-Rank dungeon. He considers and decides to accept the request.
The same message pops up on Lee Joohee's phone. She opened the mailbox and read the content in it. To stop herself from the nightmares of the double dungeon. Lee Joohee decides to call her mother. She finds herself in a tense conversation with her mother over the phone, offering only minimal responses.
When her mother suggests she quit and return home, Joohee loses her patience, sharply telling her mother to stop controlling her life before abruptly ending the call. Wrapped in the solitude of her bed, she's haunted by doubts about her place and worth. However, thoughts of Jinwoo's relentless pursuit of strength inspire her.
Jinwoo sets off for the urgent D-Rank raid. While both of his sisters worry about him he reassures them with the strength and capabilities he has shown. Relieved by his answer they let him go.
As he reached the gate. He encounters himself with the survivors of the Double Dungeon. The situation became tense due to the betrayal of leaving Jinwoo alone and avoiding eye contact. Sung Jinwoo did not dwell on this and stood before Lee Joohee.
Lee Joohee was surprised at how much Jinwoo changed. He is taller, more muscular, and handsome. She could feel the blush across her cheeks but the sight of Jinwoo alone in the Dungeon caused her mood to drop.
Jinwoo said," We met after so many days and you did not even greet me. What happened to the excited and bubbly Lee Johee."
Lee Joohee," What the heck are you saying? And since when do you notice me."
"I noticed since the first time someone cared for me when I was the weakest hunter. I will still remember you even after I die."
"You have certainly changed, Jinwoo."
"To see your face again I had to get stronger."
Lee Joohee could not believe that Sung Jinwoo was flirting with her. She was jumping with giddiness. Before they could bond three C-rank hunters with handcuffs arrived before them. These hunters, convicted criminals, are part of a "Substitute Hunter" program that allows them to participate in raids as a means to lessen their prison sentences.
Overseeing them is Kang Taeshik, a B-Rank hunter from the Hunter's Association, tasked with ensuring they stay in line during the raid. He is dressed in a suit and with a calm smile explains their objective.
In the cave depths of the D-Rank dungeon, goblins are mercilessly vanquished by the prisoner hunters who are loving it. While other members can keep up with the attack of the monsters and slay them. Sung Jinwoo found it extremely boring. With a flick of his finger, he could kill the goblins but he uses his sword to conceal his power.
Mr.Song comments on Jinwoo getting stronger. Joohee notes the lack of injuries on Jinwoo and gets sad thinking she is useless. Jinwoo consoles her and tells her he still depends on her to heal when injured.
Further ahead they decided to separate themselves. Jinwoo chooses the left cave sensing the presence of high-density mana. Together with Joohee and Mr. Sung, they enter the cave. The monsters in the cave were mostly handled by Mr. Sung. While they were walking ahead they heard a scream across the tunnel and found the hunters cut in pieces.
Joohee heals the survivors while Mr. Sung is in a guarded position with his sword pointed investigator Taeshik Kang. One of the survivors Kim chokes out sorry and dies with his comrade.
Jinwoo looked at their corpses and said," Don't apologize. I was the one who decided to not save you."
A sharp dagger appears appears near Joohee causing Jinwoo to grab the opponent's hand. Caught off guard the investigator hides in the shadow and appears in front of them. A battle takes place between Mr Sung and Taeshik Kang while Joohee supports Mr Sung. The battle ended in 5 minutes.
When the investigator stabs Mr.Sung a hand catches him not letting the dagger push further. The investigator jumps back," You are not an E-rank hunter. You had a re-awakening right."
Sung Jinwoo does not reply. He said," Why don't you kill yourself? I don't want to waste more time."
The investigator amused by words released killing intent," I will bury you with all of these dead people."
Quest
[Kill the opponent]
0/1
Sung Jinwoo looks at the quest and decides to finish it fast. The opponent with a burst of speed appears to his side and slashes his daggers. Jinwoo dodges the attack and launches a kick on his stomach causing the opponent to crash in the wall. He brings out his sword and throws it towards the opponent. The sword gets impaled in the arms of the opponent causing him to sit in that position.
The opponent said," How can you be this strong? How have you managed to hide your skills?"
Jinwoo said," Don't tell me this is your best."
The opponent disappears from the original position causing the sword to fall with a clang. Jinwoo was unable to see the opponent but he could feel the trace of mana and with the amount of life and death experience with A rank beast he could easily evade the attack. The opponent strikes in a flurry of blades on Jinwoo but fails to land even a hit.
The opponent panted with his dagger raised," How can you dodge my skill?"
Jinwoo said," It is good but you are not strong enough to use it to your advantage against me."
The opponent slid into the shadows and launched a sneak attack from behind. He could feel the sense of victory.
CLANG
The daggers collided with a sharp metal. He notices a sword blocking his attack from moving forward. He said," How, When did you get your sword back?"
Sung Jinwoo sliced his throat," You are not the only one with skills."
Quest
[Completed]
Jinwoo went ahead to kill the boss of the dungeon while Mr. Sung and Joohee were shocked by the change of events. Mr. Sung noticed that Hunter Sung had made tough decisions to grow stronger. Joohee could not believe she was looking at the same person who needed her help every time.
Jinwoo returned to them after killing the boss monster. All of them started walking together out of the dungeon. The atmosphere was tense due to the doubts in the heads of Joohee and Mr Sung.
Jinwoo broke the tense atmosphere," I know there are a lot of questions in your head. Yes, I had a second awakening that allowed me to make my destiny."
Mr Sunng said," I am relieved you survived from that hell. This old man was filled with regret and shame throughout the whole time. Now I did not need to worry."
Sung Jinwoo said," Thank you."
Both of them talked about their mundane lives. Jinwoo noticed that Joohee was not participating in their conversation. Coming out of the dungeon they notified the events to the Hunter Association and Mr Sung took the claim of killing the inspector with the help of Joohee.
Sung Jinwoo and Joohee headed together to the park. The park was cloaked in an ethereal glow, the soft luminance of streetlamps filtering through the canopy of trees. A gentle breeze carried the sweet scent of night-blooming jasmine, creating an ambiance of tranquility.
Their steps were synchronized, a silent ballet of companionship. Joohee turned her head to look at Jinwoo. The street light highlighted her slim figure. Here orange hair was glistening from the right. To Sung Jinwoo she looked like a celestial maiden gazing at him.
She said," I am happy that you have grown stronger, Jinwoo. I can't help but admire your willpower to be able to do this job after facing those statues. While I am just a pathetic healer who can't even heal their teammates."
Jinwoo listens to her and stays quiet. He knew at this moment she wanted a person willing to listen to her problems.
She said," I am too timid to be a hunter but I am grateful that I was able to meet you."
Lee Joohee brings out an essence stone," You gave me this as a token to go on a date but now I don't think it is possible. I hope we can meet again."
She gave the essence stone to Sung Jinwoo and walked away.
