Leveling Synopsis
Ever since a portal appeared that connects our world
to another one filled with monsters and creatures of all kinds, some people
have acquired powers and the ability to hunt them, earning the name of hunters.
The protagonist, Sung Jin-woo, is the weakest of the E-rank hunters and barely
stronger than a normal human. He is nicknamed “the weakest” by his fellow
hunters. One day, he and others find themselves trapped in an extremely
dangerous dungeon, and only a few survive and manage to escape. Sung Jin-woo himself
barely survives and is the only one to complete all the trials in this dungeon,
becoming a “player,” now able to see an interface that shows him quests, stats,
inventory, shops, and levels. Will he manage to level up to become the most
powerful hunter?
