LEVEL UP: ALONE

Product Information

Foil: Yoo Jin-ho is basically one to Lee Min-sung. Both are rich people, whose fathers are the leaders of one of Korea's most powerful companies, Yoojin Construction. However, Jin-ho, while relatively weak as a hunter at D-rank, is kind, generous and willing to put his life on the line for a teammate, while Min-sung is a Manipulative Bastard, an Attention Whore and a pathetic Dirty Coward despite being a powerful A-rank Hunter. Dirty Coward: Kim Sang-shik shows his ugliest side when the double dungeon raid goes badly, willing to sacrifice anyone to get away, blaming Song Chi-yeol for everything that happened and ultimately running away to leave Ju-hee, Chi-yeol, and Jin-woo to die when he is able to flee. However, he eventually regrets his actions and asks for forgiveness.

Opt Out: Lee Ju-hee decides to retire after the double dungeon incident, and finally quits as a hunter after Jin-woo saved her life against Kang Tae-shik. She already couldn't cope with the trauma of the double dungeon, the attempt on her life by a hunter only gave her the final push, as she also got to see Jin-woo again, only to see that he is no longer the innocent weak man she grew to care for. 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. Expy: An army of powerful ants who eat humans, and assimilate human traits to mutate, whose queen eventually uses all her energy to produce a far superior son, who is eventually called the Ant King. Is the king's name perhaps Meruem...? And since he's Kim Dokja, he also has that description on his non-existent job list to adopt powerful beings. Hwang Dong-seok's younger brother, Dong-soo, already makes his first appearance in Chapter 24 in the webcomic, right after his brother was killed by Jin-woo, when he first appears in the novel after Jin-woo defeated Kang Tae-shik. He also comes to Korea after merely two weeks, when in the novel he is held off in the States for more than two months.

Resources

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. Jin-woo's fight against high orc sorcerer, Kargargan, and his army ends up being one. He easily outclasses the orc, and then was able to take the boss's shadow without any problems.

Kim Cheol leaves half the raid force (all hunters below B-rank) behind inside the red gate, as he doesn't want to get slowed down by them, calling them dead weight, and "subtly" gestures to them to not follow him. In an Ironic Echo, he is humiliated by "E-rank" Jin-woo and gets called dead weight, after suffering a terrible defeat at the hands of the monsters.

The Foreshadowing of the red gate incident, after Association employees screwed up the gate measuring, is not shown in the webcomic. Blunt "Yes": When the committee claims Go Gun-hee is giving favoritism to Jin-woo to enter high rank Gates without meeting the mandatory minimum party size, Go Gun-hee flat out admits this is favoritism. He then explains to them that Jin-woo is powerful enough that he could just up and leave for another country that is willing to bend the rules for him, causing the committee to relent. Mistaken for Romance: Yoo Jin-ho mistakenly assumes Jin-woo is dating high schooler, Han Song-yi. He tries to cautiously remind Jin-woo that Song-yi is a minor (making him an ephebophile). Jin-woo just rolls his eyes at the misunderstanding in the novel, while he is left clueless what Jin-ho is talking about in the webcomic. Because with the amount of ridiculous stuff Jinwoo gets up to, these people probably haven’t seen the sun in weeks behind all that paperwork.

Discussions

When a dungeon break occurs inside Jin-ah's school, Jin-woo manages to save his sister just in time, despite being unable to use his Shadow Exchange ability. Go Gun-hee later shows Jin-woo that there has been an increase in Gates at the same time more Hunters have been awakening. Jin-woo suspects it is this trope.
