STORYLINE:
One day, a portal appears in our world connecting our world to a world of monsters. Their world is filled with all kinds of nasty creatures and monsters. After the opening of the portal, some people have miraculously acquired the power and abilities to hunt them, thus being called the Hunters.
The story revolves around a character, Sung Jin-Woo. He is the weakest of all the Hunters and falls under the E rank of hunters which is the lowest. He is the weakest amongst them all and is just a little bit stronger than a normal human.
One day, he along with other hunters find themselves trapped in a dungeon. Only a handful of them survive it and manage to escape. Sung Jin-Woo turns out to be one of them. Much to the amazement of others, it turns out that he was the only one who had completed all the trials of the dungeon!
After this, he turns into a Player who can now see an interface showing quests, stats, inventory, level and more and now starts working hard to level up and become the best Hunter!
