When Jin-woo realizes that Hwang Dong-seok's raid force consists of "lizards", he expects to be left behind as The Bait for the boss in the dungeon. However, this is exactly what he wanted in the first place, as he could then get the experience and the loot for himself. When the Ant King realizes that the Korean extermination team has a healer with them, he tries to locate Min Byung-goo and then kills him first. Mass Super-Empowering Event: Deconstructed. With people being empowered seemingly at random, inevitably there would be ill-intentioned individuals from gang members to hardened criminals, to serial rapists eager to abuse them.

Dump Stat: Originally Jin-woo ignored intelligence because he thought he would be a pure fighter. The suggested class he gains from his quest dumbfounds him as a result since it relies on the stat he leveled the least.

Discussions

The Hunters raid force is very confused when the boss of the dungeon, Kargargan, suddenly starts speaking Korean to them.

Leave No Witnesses: Kang Tae-shik intends to murder not only his target but every other hunter as well and come out of the dungeon as the Sole Survivor, to leave no potential witnesses to his assassination. Script Breaking: Jin-woo ends up going "off-script", when he asks the ice elf, Baruka, about the origins of the monsters and the voice that commands them to kill humans. When Baruka is about to respond, he "glitches" and continues the conversation as if he didn't hear Jin-woo moments earlier.

Hwang Dong-seok and his raid force are "lizards", and show their true colors when they realize that the dungeon they entered is extremely profitable. Shortly after entering his first instant dungeon, unlike inside regular dungeons, Jin-woo realizes that the monsters respawn. He uses this opportunity to level up for several hours before facing the dungeon's boss. Eventually, the System rewards his perseverance with the title "Wolf Slayer", which comes with a significant stat boost when he's fighting beast-type monsters.

(except for some documents and illustrations where licenses are specified) One day, however, things go awry for Jin-woo and his party when a low-level dungeon turns out to be far more dangerous than initially assumed. Alone, wounded and surrounded, Jin-woo faces his certain doom, until a voice suddenly appears that offers to make Jin-woo a "player". Having nothing to lose, Jin-woo accepts and loses consciousness. After waking up in the hospital, he notices a quest log that only he can see, which uses RPG-like terms. Soon after, he learns that unlike any other hunter, he can gain character levels and improve rapidly by hunting monsters and training every day. This is the story of Jin-woo changing from the weakest to the strongest hunter in the world. Regretful Traitor: Kim Sang-shik in particular feels guilt for leaving Jin-woo alone to die, and in the webcomic can no longer work well, until he can properly apologize to Jin-woo. Unfortunately, he only got the opportunity to apologize after being fatally wounded.

It Runs in the Family: Sung Jin-woo's father, Sung Il-hwan, was one of the first hunters ten years ago, but mysteriously disappeared when a gate closed before he could get out of a dungeon. After Jin-woo reaches S-rank, his father emerges from a new gate on the other side of the world, also wielding S-rank power. Furthermore, Goto's plan was to use this event to indicate to the world that he was a National-Rank Hunter, as the only requirement he hadn't completed was clearing an S-Rank Dungeon, and he would have "cleared" it on a technicality. Instead, it simply showed the world Sung's true power, and made many across the world speculate if HE could be considered a National-Rank. Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Jin-woo has told no one why he keeps working as a hunter (to provide for his hospitalized mother and underage sister), despite being so weak and the job constantly threatening his life. He doesn't like revealing personal information to others, and it's implied that he doesn't want to be pitied even more than he already is for being the "World's Weakest Hunter".

Jin-woo uses a criminal, who abused his awakened powers to rape women (driving at least one of them to suicide), as The Bait to distract a boss' minions. As Jin-woo puts it in the webcomic, he sees the rapist as even more worthless trash than the psychopathic assassin, Kang Tae-shik. This is also the reason Yoojin Construction intends to found their own guild. They fear the rise in power of the hunters, and try to hire hunters they can trust. Translations are split on whether "eo" or "u" should be used for names, e.g. Song Chi-yeol/-yul and Kim Cheol/Chul. Same with "oo" or "u" like with Dong-su/-soo and Joo-hee/Ju-hee.
