Hwang Dongsuk's group

Deadly dungeon setting

In the series, Hwang Dongsuk's group made the mistake of underestimating Jin-Woo and believing him to be nothing more than an expendable weakling. Their placement in the C-rank dungeon should have been a death sentence for Jin-Woo, but instead it became the stage for their execution. Dongsuk's group are C-rank hunters who deliberately invite Jin-Woo and another lower-ranked hunter, Joon Jinho, to join them under the pretense of needing support. In reality, Jin-Woo and Jinho were nothing but pawns to help them clear the dungeon and keep the essence stones for themselves. As the eight hunters progressed into the dungeon, they battled the small spawn animals until they found the boss's cave. When Dongsuk and his party realize that most of the keystones lie in the boss's cave, they seal off the cave's exit to ensure that Jin-Woo and Jinho don't escape. They planned to throw the essence stones from another exit while the dungeon boss feasted on Jin-Woo and Jinho. After all, whatever happens in the dungeon stays there, so no one will ever know about their atrocities.

Additionally, after Jin-Woo defeated the spider boss in the dungeon, Dongsuk and his group left their hideout to finish them off. Since Jin-Woo and Jinho are low-level hunters, they pose no threat. Jin-Woo's leveling system sees Dongsuk's party as an obstacle and forces Jin-Woo to kill them. This way, Jin-woo had no choice but to kill them to level up, but there is a high probability that Jin-woo would just hurt them so he could leave the dungeon with Jin. However, the system elevated Jin-woo to a bloodthirsty maniac, and when Dongsuk's men charged at him expecting an easy kill, Jin-woo moved faster than they could react and killed them all. In the end, Jin-Woo and Jinho were the last men standing.

Kim Chul

Battle in the ice region

Jin-Woo went on a dungeon raid with Kim Chul, an A-rank hunter, and eight other hunters. A simple raid turned dangerous when the C-rank dungeon turned into a red gate. The Red Gates represent a death sentence for any hunter unfortunate enough to be trapped inside. Unlike normal gates, which are predictable, red gates are a one-way prison where once a hunter enters, the exit disappears until the dungeon is cleared. Jin-Woo and the others find themselves in the ice elves and ice bears area, allowing him to level up. However, Kim Chul splits the group in two, keeping the strong members with him and the weaker members with Jin-Woo.

During the raid, the ice elves easily killed all the hunters with Kim Chul and he fled the scene in fear. As Kim Chul ran through the forest, he found the other hunters with Jin-Woo hale and hearty, which angered him. He therefore blamed his defeat on a member of Jin-Woo's team who kept the equipment (tent, food, and clothes) for himself while his group died unfairly. At this moment, Jin-Woo was already facing the ice elves and summoned his shadow hunters to help in the battle. Kim Chul blamed his misfortune on Jin-Woo and planned to kill him. As the battle against the elves raged, Kim Chul found an opening to kill Jin-Woo, but just as he let his guard down, Igris' spear pierced him through the chest. His last expression was one of pure horror and regret, realizing too late that his cowardice had led him to a worse fate. Jin-Woo activated his necromantic powers and raised him as a shadow soldier to serve him forever.
