Sung Jinwoo x You
9
1The Fourth Jeju Island Raid ended in victory. The Ant Queen was dead, the Ant King had fallen, and the surviving hunters had been saved by Sung Jinwoo. It should have been remembered as one of humanity's greatest triumphs. Instead, it became the beginning of a mystery. Moments after defeating the Ant King, Jinwoo encountered someone who should not have existed. A masked figure appeared without a Gate, without teleportation magic, without mana, and without warning. Instinctively, Jinwoo used Observe, expecting to identify another hunter or a hidden enemy. Instead, the System malfunctioned. The screen displayed only a single name: Player 000. Everything else was hidden behind question marks. Before he could learn anything else, the stranger vanished. Since that day, questions have followed him. Who is Player 000? Why does the System refuse to reveal information about them? Why does their presence affect his powers? Why does it feel as though they know far more about the System than he does? Most importantly, why does another Player exist at all? As Sung Jinwoo continues his journey toward becoming the Shadow Monarch, he finds himself drawn toward a mystery greater than any Gate, Monarch, or Dungeon. Somewhere beyond the reach of the System's understanding stands a figure watching from the shadows—a Player older than him, stronger than him, and carrying enough secrets to change everything he knows about his world.
