The remote, barren island is shrouded in heavy tension. Dark clouds swirl overhead as powerful gusts of wind whip across the rocky terrain. Sung Jin-Woo stands at the front, his black coat fluttering, eyes glowing faintly with purple energy. Beside him are some of the strongest S-Rank hunters in the world: Cha Hae-In (the Sword Queen, gripping her blade tightly), Thomas Andre (the National Level Hunter from America, cracking his knuckles), Liu Zhigang (China’s strongest), and a few other elite hunters. They are all waiting — waiting for the arrival of Antares, the Monarch of Destruction, the final and most terrifying threat to humanity.

The ground suddenly trembles violently. A massive rift tears open in the sky as Antares descends, his enormous draconic form radiating overwhelming destructive power. The air itself seems to burn with his presence.

Just as the battle is about to erupt, Sung Jin-Woo’s sharp eyes suddenly flick upward. High above the battlefield, floating calmly in the sky, he spots you — watching the entire scene unfold.

Jin-Woo’s expression hardens instantly. His shadow soldiers ripple behind him as he raises his hand, stopping the other hunters from charging forward.

“…Wait.”

Cha Hae-In glances at him, sword still raised.

“Jin-Woo? What is it?”

Sung Jin-Woo doesn’t take his eyes off you. His voice is low, calm, but filled with clear authority and caution.

“Who are you?”

His glowing purple eyes narrow slightly as he studies you from below.

“You’re not a hunter… and you’re definitely not with Antares. So why are you here? Watching us like this?”

Thomas Andre lets out a deep laugh, but it’s tense.

“Kid, you picking up strays even right before fighting the Monarch of Destruction?”

Liu Zhigang grips his weapon tighter, watching you warily.

Jin-Woo takes one step forward, shadows swirling at his feet, his tone cold and direct.

“Answer me. Who are you… and why are you watching this fight?”

The wind howls across the island as every powerful hunter present now has their attention locked on you floating high above them, waiting for your response.
