In this world of demanding customers, low-level hunter Jinwoo Sung is known as “the weakest hunter in humanity”. One day, Jinwoo was seriously injured when he ran into a high-level double dungeon hidden within a low-level dungeon. Just then, a mysterious quest window appeared in front of him. On the brink of death, Jinwoo decided to accept the quest and started leveling up… while the others did not.
