* IronicHell: Hell traditionally gives living visitors a glimpse of what things will be like for them if they get sentenced there. Jee-Han's hell would, naturally, be to have an arcade where the games crash rigth in the middle of playing them.

* MrExposition: Truth Wagon just ''loves'' explaining the intricacies of his powers. He just goes on and on ''and on''.

* BattleAura

** During the Church of Masks arc, Lolikiano explains to Jee-Han that while people being used as resources is the norm in the Abyss, it is wasteful when the person in question has rare, unique, and/or powerful abilities. For those guys, they may be MadeASlave via magic, be the victim of some other method of coercion to force cooperation, or even killed and soul stolen since the related powers can still be used but not as effective as when the person is alive. The Church of Masks tried to do to that Jee-Han [[spoiler: but Jee-Han turned that around and used magic to force their leader to be his subordinate, effectively removing the threat to himself and gaining control of the Church of Masks on top of it.

* TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: The story occasionally cuts to a group of villains that have vague plans and objectives. They initially involved Hwan Sung-Gong and/or his daughter, but were forced to try something different when Jee-Han interfered in The Company's attempts to take them. They then backed The Company in making the game that allowed the Chairman to ascend to godhood, but what they had to gain from that has yet to be made clear. Their plans have also progressed when Jee-Han accepted the Abyss Corporation's bargain of him making something for them in exchange for high-quality skills and items, but Jee-Han taking control of the Church of Masks was not something they had planned for. One of the few solid things known about them is that one of their number is called Fan Rui, the Lord of Chaos, and though not powerful enough to take on the Ninth Gate, he is still capable of causing a Korea-wide crisis by making a constant flow of monsters appear across the nation, forcing all of Korea's great guilds to devote most of their resources to dealing with it, and that's just to ''distract'' the great guilds.

* LimitedSocialCircle: Excluding family, at the beginning, Jee-Han and Sun-Il explicitly only had each other as friends. They were never close to other kids at their school. Jee-Han even tries to claim he has school friends besides Sun-Il but admits he hasn't hang out with any of them as of late. However, as time goes on and Jee-Han's involvement in the Abyss increases, that circle slowly expands as they make more acquaintances and even friends in the Abyss.

* GodNeedsPrayersBadly: The more followers a god has, the more powerful they become. The newly formed Arc Company in fact had so many followers via the Grand Labyrinth game that it was able to prevent a KillTheGod attempt on himself by a group that casually considers killing gods achievable.

* KillTheGod: {{Discussed}}, attempted, but ultimately {{Averted}}. The Dan Ui Guild ''tried'' to kill Arc Company, but couldn't. They have killed gods before, but they only had about a million followers. Arc Company has over a hundred times that, making him much more powerful than the previous gods, and ultimately, the Dan Ui Guild were forced to let him go.
