Ever since a portal connecting the human world with a world filled with monsters and creatures of all kinds appeared, some individuals have gained powers and abilities to hunt them down, earning the title of Hunters. The protagonist, Sung Jin-woo, is the weakest rank-E Hunter, barely stronger than an average human.
He is nicknamed "the weakest" by his fellow hunters. One day, he and others find themselves trapped in a treacherous underground prison, with only a few managing to survive and escape. Sung Jin-woo, who ends up alone, barely manages to survive and becomes the only one to complete all the trials in this underground prison, ultimately becoming a "Player."
As a Player, he gains access to a special interface that displays missions, statistics, inventory, storage, and levels. Will he succeed in leveling up to become the strongest Hunter?
