Plot edit In a world where certain humans called "Hunters" possess magical abilities, they must battle monsters to protect the human race from certain annihilation. A very weak Hunter named Sung Jinwoo finds himself in a struggle where he can only try to survive. One day, after narrowly surviving an overwhelmingly powerful double dungeon that nearly wiped out his entire party, a mysterious program called the System chooses him as its sole player and, in turn, gives him the surprising ability to level up without limits. During his journey, Jinwoo will fight all manner of enemies, both human and monster, and uncover the secrets within the dungeons and the true source of their powers.

Originally a famously weak E-Rank Hunter, he gets the chance of a lifetime when he is selected as a Player by the System and is able to grow in strength without limit. Taking advantage of his new power, Jin-woo rises up to become far stronger than the National Level Hunters. Eventually, he learns that he became a Player because the Shadow Monarch Ashborn chose to train him as a successor to fight in the war between the Rulers and the Monarchs. He ultimately marries the S-Rank Hunter Cha Hae-in and has a son, Suho, who inherits some of his powers. In the sequel series Ragnarok, Jin-woo leaves Earth to join forces with the Rulers in a new war against the Itarim, beings who seek to take over the universe, but not before sealing Suho's memories and powers so he can live a normal life. When the Itarim's invasions eventually reach Earth, he tasks Beru to unseal Suho's memories and powers and train him to defend Earth from the new war.

Although Il-Hwan ultimately succeeds in his mission, he ends up exerting far more power than his body can handle and consequently dies in his son's arms. He is revived by Jin-woo when he uses the cup of reincarnation to create a new timeline. With his Ruler's authority, he is able to retain his previous memories from the previous timeline.

Knowing that he would have a hard time defeating Baruka with only Igris' help, Jin-woo quickly extracts Kim Chul's shadow from his corpse and named him Iron. He is known for being an idiotic shadow. He copies Igris' habit of bringing a head to Jin-woo, much to the knight's annoyance.

Ashborn Ashborn (아스본; Aseubon) is the King of the Dead and the Monarch of Shadows. He is also the strongest Ruler and the Greatest Fragment of Brilliant Light. After spending eons fighting in the ancient war between the Rulers and the Monarchs, Ashborn grew weary of the ceaseless violence, leading him to eventually chose Jin-woo as his host in hopes of ending the bloodshed once and for all. When Jin-woo is later killed by the Monarchs, Ashborn appears in the flesh to save him and gives Jin-woo a detailed explanation of his past. After transferring the rest of his powers to Jin-woo and bringing him back to life, Ashborn goes into eternal sleep and allows Jin-woo to take his place as the Shadow Monarch.
