    Summary

    "Welcome to Luxuria, Player! Will you be the one to better this cesspool? Or to conquer it with greater efficiency? Or both. Both is good! A word of advice, though. I suggest not getting too attached to the NPCs, no matter how life-like they seem."

    Summary

    "Something to think about next time you decide to sit back and do nothing."

    No matter what happened, these words would forever direct Greg Veder's path, for better or for worse. But considering his new powers, it's still undecided whether that it's a good or bad thing how easily he adapted to having a 'game' literally redefine his reality. (Worm/Solo Leveling AU)

    Summary

    Sung Jin-Woo is still the Shadow Monarch and he still grows in power unlike any other hunter. However, he doesn't have the system to back him up. He is a reawakened hunter with the skill to create undead shadow soldiers without any cheats or instant healing. Bearing the injuries of the double dungeon must fight the trials ahead of him with far more public scrutiny than before.

    In other words

    Solo leveling but there's no system and Jin-Woo responds to things like a real person who has emotions. He's still OP but not nearly to the level as in canon. He functions with the same worldbuilding as all the other Hunters in the setting, with things taking a pretty different course in the long run.

    Summary

    You know the legend: Sung Jinwoo, Shadow Monarch, Earth’s savior. The guy who tore the Dragon Monarch, Antares, apart like destiny itself—shattering any illusion that he was just a hunter or even human.
    But here’s the thing about legends—they’re mostly hype.

    I’m Sung Jinah—his sister—and let me tell you, living with Earth’s greatest hero is a daily exercise in holding onto my last shreds of sanity.

    The world praises his power, breaks down his battles like war tactics. I watch him bumble around in a hoodie and shades, thinking that’s enough to hide his very recognizable mana and those faintly glowing eyes. Spoiler: it doesn’t. Not even close.
    This isn’t a story about a hero fading into myth. It’s about him awkwardly sticking around while the world panics over every shadow he casts.

    Wish me luck. I’m the only one here holding onto any semblance of normalcy.

     

    Set in a world post-Antares, where Sung Jinwoo didn’t take the Cup of Reincarnation. Told through Jinah’s slice-of-life style snippets.

     

    Now playing: # 17: how to lose friends & influence demons: or, why I no longer allow my brother to bring potential romantic partners home unsupervised

    Summary

    “Ugh, who invited the world’s weakest hunter…?”

    “Why is there an E-Rank at a D-Rank gate? Won’t he just get killed?”

    “Hey! This is a good thing! If the world’s weakest hunter is here, that means that the raid’s gonna be easy!”

    Jinwoo was used to the whispers, had heard them every day ever since his awakening. Except one day, that would all change. A chance meeting with the White Tiger Guild before he ever set foot in the Double Dungeon would change everything...

     

    Or

    Sung Jinwoo's Incomprehensible survival in dungeons throughout his 4 years as an E-Rank Hunter is noticed. As a result, he is drafted into becoming a rookie Hunter teacher, and this changes everything.

    Summary

    Woo Jinchul didn’t ask to become Earth’s unofficial liaison to the most powerful being on the planet.
    But when your best friend is a god-tier necromancer with poor communication skills and a habit of shadow-teleporting into meetings uninvited, you adapt.

    The Shadow Monarch saves the world before breakfast.
    Director Woo explains it to the UN and worldwide Hunter Bureaus by lunch.
    By nightfall, they’re silently co-authoring incident reports while Sung corrects Woo’s punctuation and Woo mutters that “he’s not writing a damn epic poem.”

    Together, they are not so much a team as a bureaucratic containment unit for the end of days—held together by paperwork, passive-aggressive coffee offerings, and mutual trauma bonding.

    This is absolutely not a bromance.
    They just drink from each other’s mugs.....
    (Japan filed an ethics inquiry. It was not the first.)

    Welcome to the Korean Hunter Association.
    Your badge is in the drawer. So is your resignation form.
    Please read the attached orientation file.

    DO NOT LET DIRECTOR WOO SEE THIS.

    (You don’t need to read the other fics in this series — this one works just fine on its own.)

    Summary

    Bell didn't know what to expect when he ran into a room with a minotaur hot on his tail, but a fight for survival? A room full of statues levels higher than him?

    He should have died.

    And yet he had endured, all while gaining something even more powerful than a falna.

    So with this newfound power, he'll follow his dream to become what he's always wanted to be.

    A hero.

    Summary

    Jin-Woo slowly works up the courage to look up at his captor savior the shadow person's face, only to see an ornate helmet with glowing orbs where eyes would be. He starts to tremble slightly as he looks upon one of the creatures that had been plaguing the edges of his sight and the dark corners of his mind since he was ten years old.

    Nobody had ever believed him when he tried to tell them what he saw, brushing off his fear as the product of an overactive imagination. Eventually he'd stopped trying to get others to notice, resigning himself to the sight of these menacing figures that haunted his nightmares.

    And now, five years later, the largest, most terrifying shadow-person he'd ever seen had not only pulled him out of the way of certain death, but was now addressing him like he's some kind of lord. What the actual hell?

    Summary

    Take Hae-in, for instance. Their relationship was still new, but even in its fledgling stage, Jin-woo could see the differences. At the end of the day, however, it didn't matter: She was still the same person she'd been, just with her strength and determination directed towards different things.


    Or: Jin-woo's thoughts on being a teenager once more, the possibilities the future holds, old and new relationships, and the constant presence of his shadows. Not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    In truth, he wasn't sure he was capable of it: He valued his companionship with Jin-chul, and removing his memories would leave Jin-woo feeling bereft. This life he'd built had made him a bit more selfish in holding on to the things he cherished – and this friendship...it was one of those things.


    Or: Jin-woo on the friendship that transcended timelines.

    Summary

    The first time Jin-woo meets Go Gun-hee again, it's an experience, to say the least. The last he'd seen the man was when he'd been the Chairman of the Hunter Association, laying in a pool of his own blood with a hole through his chest. Jin-woo remembered the desperation he'd felt summoning the Elixir of Life from his inventory, clutching the bottle as if it was a lifeline. He remembered the cold, weakening grip of the Chairman as he'd gripped Jin-woo's hand, knowing that nothing could cure him from the clutches of death. He remembered the helplessness of seeing the Chairman die, and knowing that nothing – not even vengeance – would bring him back.

    And yet here he was. Sick, weak, but alive. In a hospital gown, with numerous wires connected to him and machines beeping all around him. But there was no pool of blood, no gaping hole in his chest, and something Jin-woo thought he'd never see again – life in his eyes, a smile on his face.

    Summary

    "You are not naming our child," Hae-in said for the thousandth time.

    Jin-woo pretended like he didn't hear her. "What about –"

    "Jin-woo-ya," she said firmly. "No. You're not naming him."

    She had witnessed first-hand the names of his shadows. There was no way he was naming their child, not with his abysmal history of giving names. They'd end up with a baby boy named – named – Baby Number One, or something.

    Summary

    Sung Suho loves his parents like any other child would. That does not mean, however, that he's a-okay with cultivating a vivid dream wherein he bests powerful opponent after powerful opponent, only to lose to his father, the final boss.

    That was a secret he'd take to his grave.

    But for now, he has to deal with looking his father in the face without imploding from embarrassment.

    Summary

    Suho wasn't going to have it easy, that was for sure. It wasn't what any mother wanted for her child, but so long as he had her support, Jin-woo's guidance, and the steady presence of the shadows...he'd be fine.


    In which Hae-in ducks out to buy sauce, convinces Beru grocery shopping is not for him, hosts dinner, and contemplates her son's future, all in one night.

    Summary

    While her brother’s life was like that of an action web novel protagonist—at least, at the start of those novels, before the underdog gained their super OP powers and was just getting beat up all the time—Sung Jin-Ah’s life had become something like Breaking Bad. That was, if Walter White was a teenage girl, was actually a badass, had to pay his mom’s medical bills instead of his own, and became a generalist crime boss instead of cooking meth.

    Okay, maybe it wasn’t that similar to Breaking Bad. Sue her.

    Summary

    Breaking news: Sung Jinwoo is officially an S-Rank hunter.
    Also breaking: Jinah finds out about it live on TV, surrounded by her screaming classmates. And her brother, the one person who should’ve told her first, apparently forgot to mention it.

    “Busy?! Busy?! You went from ‘barely able to cook instant noodles’ to ‘walking disaster with god-level power’ and thought, Yeah, I’ll just leave Jinah out of the loop?”

    “I didn’t think it was that big of a deal.”

    “Not that big of a deal? Sure. Totally. Because every high schooler’s dream is to find out their brother’s basically a national treasure through a live broadcast. Maybe next time throw in a ‘Surprise, sis!’ while you’re at it?”

     

    Story told from Jinah's point of view on that eventful day during the Re-evaluation / Retesting Rank Arc.
