Ten years ago, mysterious Gates appeared and connected our world to dungeons swarming with deadly monsters. Ordinary people awakened as Hunters to fight back—but Sung Jinwoo, an E-Rank Hunter, is so weak he's mocked as the 'World's Weakest.' He risks his life in low-rank dungeons just to pay for his mother's hospital bills. Then a routine raid turns into a nightmare inside a hidden Double Dungeon, and Jinwoo is left for dead. He awakens to a glowing screen only he can see: a leveling System that lets him grow stronger with every quest and every kill. As Jinwoo levels up beyond all limits and unlocks the power of the Shadow Monarch, he sets out to uncover the truth behind the System—and to become the strongest Hunter the world has ever known.
