They say whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, but that’s not the case for the world’s weakest hunter Sung Jinwoo. After being brutally slaughtered by monsters in a high-ranking dungeon, Jinwoo came back with the System, a program only he could see, that’s leveling him up in every way. Now, he’s inspired to discover the secrets behind his powers and the dungeon that spawned them. RECAP EPISODE

Ever since dangerous gates leading to dungeons filled with monsters appeared on Earth a decade ago, humans gained a new way to provide for themselves: certain individuals designated as hunters received otherworldly powers to fight the dangers within. Sung Jin-Woo works desperately as a hunter to keep his family afloat. However, due to his lack of power, he is known as the weakest hunter of all mankind. During a dungeon expedition with his party, an unexpected disaster occurs, leaving Jin-Woo on the brink of death. Inexplicably surviving the grave situation, he wakes up in a hospital after the incident with a surprise—he has been selected as a player by a mysterious system, offering him possibilities to improve his skills. As he is seemingly the only one who has been chosen, Jin-Woo begins to level up at a fast pace, and he might just be able to become the world's strongest hunter with his reawakening.

Sung Jin-Woo, dubbed the weakest hunter of all mankind, grows stronger by the day with the supernatural powers he has gained. However, keeping his skills hidden becomes more difficult as dungeon-related incidents pile up around him. When Jin-Woo and a few other low-ranked hunters are the only survivors of a dungeon that turns out to be a bigger challenge than initially expected, he draws attention once again, and hunter guilds take an increased interest in him. Meanwhile, a strange hunter who has been lost for ten years returns with a dire warning about an upcoming catastrophic event. As the calamity looms closer, Jin-Woo must continue leveling up to make sure nothing stops him from reaching his ultimate goal—saving the life of his mother.

Humanity was caught at a precipice a decade ago when the first gates—portals linked with other dimensions that harbor monsters immune to conventional weaponry—emerged around the world. Alongside the appearance of the gates, various humans were transformed into hunters and bestowed superhuman abilities. Responsible for entering the gates and clearing the dungeons within, many hunters chose to form guilds to secure their livelihoods. Sung Jin-Woo is an E-rank hunter dubbed as the weakest hunter of all mankind. While exploring a supposedly safe dungeon, he and his party encounter an unusual tunnel leading to a deeper area. Enticed by the prospect of treasure, the group presses forward, only to be confronted with horrors beyond their imagination. Miraculously, Jin-Woo survives the incident and soon finds that he now has access to an interface visible only to him. This mysterious system promises him the power he has long dreamed of—but everything comes at a price.
