7Creating the Strongest Guild in the World
Jinwoo Joined Hands With Yoo Jinho to Create the Ahjin Guild
Ever since Sung Jinwoo startedforming his own shadow army,he had hinted that he wanted to create his own guild. When he added the Ant King to his growing army of powerful shadows, he finally felt that it was the right time to make his dream come true.
With Yoo Jinho as the vice-guild master, Jinwoo established the Ahjin Guild, which embarked on dangerous raids from day one. It did not take long for it to become Korea’s most powerful guild, and for it to be considered one of the best in the world.
6Rescuing Jeju Island Raid Party & Saving Korea
Sung Saved Countless Lives By Defeating The Ant King
The Jeju Island Raid partywas a team of top Korean and Japanese hunters that was formed to reclaim the forsaken island from the clutches of magical beasts. While the group had come up with an elaborate plan to save Korea and Japan from the existential threat they posed, they were not prepared to fight againsta monster of Ant King’s caliber.
Are there others? Others you call king?
When the secret dungeon boss confronted the hunters, he easily overpowered them, killing a few with a single strike. When it seemed that the Jeju Island raid was destined for another failure, Jinwoo teleported himself to the region and defeated the Ant King to save countless lives. It was an unprecedented achievement, since no one in human history had killed an S-rank dungeon boss alone.
Sung Cheated Death to Put Three Monarchs in Their Place
Once Jinwoo had his own shadow army, most of his battles were surprisingly one-sided. But that changed when Sillad, Querehsha, and Rakan banded together to kill Sung before he achieved his true powers. The battle was violent and the toughest one he had ever faced.
The Monarchs almost managed to silence Jinwoo. But just when it seemed that all hope was lost, he cheated death and returned to win the fight.
4Becoming the Strongest Hunter in the World
Humanity’s Weakest Hunter Turned His Life Around
There was a time when Sung Jinwoo was the butt of jokes among hunters.As an E-ranker, he was not only surprisingly weak, but he barely qualified to be a hunter. There was not a considerable difference between him and an ordinary civilian.
I am saying you should get ready to become hunted.
But following his second awakening, Jinwoo’s life took an unexpected turn as he amassed powers beyond his wildest imagination. While he was lucky in some ways, he took the opportunity handed to him by fate and dedicated himself to becoming better every single day. He not only became the strongest hunter in the world, but even achieved godlike powers.
3Saving Hunters in Double Dungeon
Sung Sacrificed Himself To Save Lives Even as an E-ranker
Well before Jinwoo even dreamed of becoming themost powerful hunter in Korea, he found himself trapped in a Double Dungeon along with his comrades during a raid. When death struck the group from all sides, it wasSung who thought outside the boxand figured out how to stop the senseless killings.
While a few hunters did lose their lives, it was because of Jinwoo’s intelligence that a far worse tragedy was avoided. But he didn’t stop there, and also chose to die on the altar so that Song Chi-Yul and Lee Joohee could safely return to their families. His action in the Double Dungeon demonstrated that despite being humanity’s weakest hunter, Sung Jinwoo still had the heart of a hero.
2Waking His Mother From Eternal Slumber

But things took a turn for the worse for his family when his motherslipped into Eternal Slumber. Sung not only had to bear responsibilities, but also carried the emotional weight of being separated from his parents.
I will protect my family even if it means turning all the hunters in the world against me.
Once he wentthrough his second awakening, Jinwoo finally had powers that put him in a position to give his family a comfortable life. However, Sung was naturally not satisfied. When he learned that he could cure his mother’s Eternal Slumber with the Holy Water of Life, he dedicated himself to collecting all the necessary ingredients.
Jinwoo conquered the Demon Castle and defeated thedungeon boss Monarch of White Flamesto get his hands on the cure-all item. When he finally managed to wake his mother from her coma, Sung was moved to tears as he realized that his efforts had not been in vain.
