| 7 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oh_yunsung.jpg]] |
| 8 | [[caption-width-right:350:When he first starts out]] |
| 9 | |
| 10 | While drinking away his sorrows after being dumped by his girlfriend of 10 years for petty reasons, he and his brother are attacked by monsters during an unforecasted fracture. As he's about to die, the [[TitleDrop Auto Hunting]] feature appears and lights up in his face. He clicks it and then takes up the Hunter career after seeing how lucrative it can be. His main motivation, however, is protecting civilians from the monster threat. |
| 11 | ---- |
| 12 | * TheAce: Not only does he graduate Hunter Academy in first place, but he rises through the ranks in record time to become among the top 10 Hunters in the world. |
| 13 | * BadassAbnormal: Before he got his "auto hunting" ability, he was on the lower end of a mid-level ordinary human. The ability itself didn't give him superpowers, but the way it guides how he trains his body, lets him master techniques he's read about, learned, or copied, and distributes Core Energy makes him someone to be reckoned with. |
| 14 | * BecomingTheMask: Narrowly avoided. Jinwi Baek lampshades how he was getting a bit "too comfortable" with China's ArrogantKungfuGuy culture, so he drops the act and turns back into the genuine NiceGuy he actually is, to the shock of Seo Yoo. |
| 15 | * BerserkButton: Do not insult his master Kim Sunguk, or he will duel you and utterly stomp you. |
| 16 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: He is a very gentle soul, but if you've got evil intentions towards him or his, and act on them, he won't pull any punches. |
| 17 | * TheCape: He's got superpowers, and while the rewards are nice, he primarily hunts monsters to protect the civilian population, his fellow hunters and protects the innocent from evil. |
| 18 | * GoodIsNotSoft: Come at him with force and he will fight back in kind. If you try to kill him, you will wish he had killed you because while he may not wish to dirty his own hands, he won't lift a finger to come to your aid in a place swarming with monsters. |
| 19 | * InstantExpert: Justified. One of the perks of his Auto Hunting ability is that he can master any ki technique he witnesses and in record time, sometimes even surpassing the technique's creator in the process. |
| 20 | * IWorkAlone: Downplayed. He has no problems working with other Hunters as a team, but he is strictly a free-lance agent. If he has to take orders from people, he'd lose out on most, if not all, of his advantages from the Auto Hunting ability, as it takes control of his body to do what it wants. |
| 21 | * LanguageBarrier: TruthInTelevision. Although he gradually improves via immersion, he needs a translator when he finds himself working as a Hunter in China, dealing with Chinese citizens and Hunters. |
| 22 | * MagneticHero: Despite being a foreigner in China, during the Shanghai Fracture disaster, he managed to get the mutually antagonistic Red Dragon Gale and Deathly Dragon clans to work side by side seamlessly and then when he lent a hand during the cleanup [[GoodFeelsGood just because]] the two clans also came to his aid of their own volition, reducing the projected time from ten days to less than one, ''and'' finding rescuees trapped beneath some rubble. The narration calls both events "Miracles." |
| 23 | * NecessaryDrawback: His Auto Hunting ability isn't a DeusExMachina that will automatically bail him out of any difficulty. It can only make him do what he's capable of doing in the most efficient manner at the limits of his strength. If he wants to be a FlyingBrick, he needs to put in the effort to boost his body too. |
| 24 | * OfficialCouple: With Yang Biyeon. See her WackyMarriageProposal for details. |
| 25 | * PostVictoryCollapse: After fighting particularly dangerous foes, he collapses to the ground the instant he's out of danger. |
| 26 | * PowerParasite: Thanks to the aptly named "Ki Parasite" technique he learns early in his Hunter career, he can, and does, copy any ki technique he witnesses, and thanks to Auto Hunting, masters it in record time, even surpassing its original creator on occasion. |
| 27 | * SpiritedCompetitor: He loves to fight strong opponents and monsters for the thrill of the challenge and to improve himself as a Hunter. |
| 28 | * TookALevelInBadass: Grinds them like crazy. In a little over 10 months, he goes from a complete neophyte to one of the top 10 Hunters in the world. |

| 33 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chae_shinyoung.jpg]] |
| 34 | [[caption-width-right:350: Yes, the salary is terrible considering you put your life on the line, but if you really want to know what the Shark Ape you hunted is worth, you should check it out yourself.]] |
| 35 | ---- |
| 36 | * OneShotCharacter: She's a government agent who shows up to investigate and compensate Oh Yunsung and his brother for the damages caused by the unforecasted Fracture in the earliest chapters and is never seen again. |
| 37 | * StealthMentor: She leads Oh Yunsung into his Hunter Career and fame by dropping some cryptic hints to attend Hunter Academy. |

| 39 | |
| 40 | [[folder: Kim Sunguk]] |
| 41 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kim_sunguk.jpg]] |
| 42 | [[caption-width-right:350:I'm looking for a talented new hunter, and if you sign on with me, [[SecretTestOfCharacter I'll give you this folder with the contents of the Hunter's License exam so you pass with a 100% score]], what do you say?]] |
| 43 | |
| 44 | The teacher in charge of the special Hunter's Academy class. He lets Oh Yunsung attend when his score was only 98 out of the 100 needed to enter because he saw the latter's potential for growth, tests his character, and then signs a lifetime contract to be his Hunter sponsor and mentor. |
| 45 | ---- |
| 46 | * GameBreakingInjury: During his Hunter career, he fell afoul of a rare monster's venom when the monster was in its death throes. While he survived the experience, he had to give up his beloved career because the poison trashed his ability to use Ki. Searching for 10 years failed to find a cure. Oh Yungsung introduces him to the CEO of Tenz who has a viable treatment, but the price to get said treatment is rather steep... |
| 47 | * MentorArchetype: He enters a master-apprentice contract with Oh Yunsung in return for giving the latter his own CE core and waving the prohibitively expensive fees involved in the installation. |
| 48 | * SecretTestOfCharacter: He offers Oh Yunsung the opportunity to cheat the entrance exam for the Hunter License if he agrees to be Kim's apprentice. Yunsung passed the test because he left the office in disgust. |

| 52 | [[folder: Yoon Changhoal]] |
| 53 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yoon_changhoal.jpg]] |
| 54 | [[caption-width-right:350:Damn it! Calling a retreat? Not in our contract? What kind of job do those idiots think this is? Hunters are supposed to keep fighting even if all their arms and legs are broken to protect the civilians!]] |
| 55 | The CEO of QR. He takes an immediate liking to Oh Yunsung and wants to have the guy recruited to the company, whatever it takes. |
| 56 | ---- |
| 57 | * BenevolentBoss: Even when he was rightly enraged that his employees and free-lance agents were welching on their duties to contain a fracture, he doesn't try to force them and instead takes to the front lines in person to make up the shortfall. |
| 58 | * HonestCorporateExecutive: Even though he was desperate to tie Oh Yunsug to his company, he is honest and above board in his efforts, and treats his men with respect. |
| 59 | * {{Realpolitik}}: He tries to tie Oh Yunsung to his company after seeing the latter's talent in action. |
| 60 | * SeriousBusiness: QR Company is his baby and he's not going to give it up or sell it to anyone. Also, he firmly believes that contract or no, the primary job of Hunter is to protect the civilians from monsters as long as they're alive, even if all their limbs are crushed, torn, or destroyed. |

| 63 | [[folder: Jang Youngchul]] |
| 64 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jang_youngchul.jpg]] |
| 65 | [[caption-width-right:350:Just stay and watch, out of the way, quietly doing nothing!]] |
| 66 | |
| 67 | The leader of Team Alpha, a unit of talented hunters assembled by Yoon Changhoal himself. He takes an immediate dislike to Oh Yunsung because he sees the guy as an outsider and a possible threat to his authority. He winds up eating crow when Yungung saves his life after the targets he and his group were hunting turned out to be more than he could chew. |
| 68 | ---- |
| 69 | * BreakTheHaughty: He starts out extremely dismissive of Oh Yunsung and sought to haze him for "being unprepared" but then Yunsung's custom-ordered battle gear arrives, forged from a queen ant carapace that Yunsung himself hunted just days earlier. He then tries to wow Yunsung into humility by showing off his team's sheer awesomeness but has to be bailed out when his, admittedly well-crafted, plan falls apart. |
| 70 | * IronicEcho: When he and his team start their assigned hunt, he orders Yunsung to shut up and stand aside, doing nothing. When he winds up getting both his arms broken and was rescued by Yunsung, Oh Yunsung first puts him at the top of a multi-story building for his safety and then tells him to stand aside, do nothing, and keep quiet. |
| 71 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: When the fracture starts spitting out more monsters than expected, and a species that normally appears in North America, with his team is neither trained nor equipped to deal with, not to mention his own broken arms and cracked ribs, he calls for a retreat and regroup. |
| 72 | [[/folder]] |
| 73 | |
| 74 | [[folder: Shin Yoohee]] |
| 75 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shin_yoohee.bmp]] |
| 76 | [[caption-width-right:350:So he went and hid? Good for him, it's the right tactical decision.]] |
| 77 | |
| 78 | The leader of the second QR team Oh Yunsung helps in dealing with a problematic fracture. Unlike Jang Youngchul, she not only treats him fairly and with respect during the hunt, but vouches for him during the meeting where the dive participants are being chosen. |
| 79 | ---- |
| 80 | * EntertaininglyWrong: On both ends. After his experiences with Youngchoul, Yunsung expected a hazing attempt. He met with a true leader instead. When the fracture started spitting out a swarm of fliers, she presumes Yunsung fled and hid, and admired his valid tactical decision, only to be shocked when he returns with a harpoon gun that was provided to Team Alpha in their hunt, impressing her with his resourcefulness. |
| 81 | * AMotherToHerMen: She takes the fate of her men seriously and was disheartened when she took Oh Yunsung into the fracture only to find her second unit was completely wiped out as they were attempting to use the machinery to seal the fracture. |
| 82 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: When Oh Yunsung showed up to join her team, she didn't give him a hard time, but instructed him to do his best to stay out of the way if he couldn't help. She was also open to his opinions when they found themselves facing a boss monster in the fracture, and he suggested she charge the machine to close it while he kept the boss busy, then came up with a plan to ''use the boss'' to escape, successfully riding the monster out and then killing it in flight to save the civilians nearby. |
| 83 | * SmokingIsCool: In between monster waves, she de-stresses by puffing on a vape pen. |

| 89 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cha_jaegil.jpg]] |
| 90 | [[caption-width-right:350:That insolent punk, how dare he show me up at the meeting!]] |
| 91 | |
| 92 | First introduced during the meeting announcing the new fracture dive policy, he takes an immediate dislike to Oh Yunsung because the latter had the cheek to be chosen as one of the Korean Hunters to pioneer fracture diving. |
| 93 | ---- |
| 94 | * DiggingYourselfDeeper: His initial protest had merit. After all, Oh Yunsung is a rookie whose merits inside the fracture are unknown, but when top members of QR went to vouch for Oh Yunsung, because they fought by his side ''inside the fracture'', he just keeps going, winding up with egg on his face when Oh Yunsung destroys his position at a demonstration he himself demanded. |
| 95 | * IrrationalHatred: He hates Oh Yunsung to the atomic level, not for anything he's done, but simply because Oh Yunsung was chosen as one of the first Full Dive Hunters. |
| 96 | * TallPoppySyndrome: He loathes and wants to humiliate Oh Yunsung simply because the latter outshines him despite being far newer to the Hunter business. |
| 97 | [[/folder]] |

| 99 | [[folder: Yoo Gi Suk]] |
| 100 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yoo_gi_suk.jpg]] |
| 101 | [[caption-width-right:350:You don't get it, Changhoal! China already has an insurmountable wall over us; we can't compete. Our best chances is to join them and gain access to their techniques!]] |
| 102 | |
| 103 | The Ceo. He has a bitter rivalry with the number one hunter, Lee Jaehak, who he can never surpass. This rivalry is pinged accidentally when Oh Yunsung takes to the stage and the media starts calling him "the next Jaehak." |
| 104 | ---- |
| 105 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Try as he might, he is always going to be inferior to Jaehak and now Yunsung, and he hates it. |
| 106 | * DespairEventHorizon: At some point in the past, he had given up hope that Korean Hunter companies can compete with China's companies on an even field, seeing China as so far ahead that nothing Korea does will allow them to catch up. |
| 107 | * DoNotTauntCthulhu: Feeling butt-hurt that Jinwi Baek had him waiting in his reception area for hours and then dismissed him with a "sorry, I'm tired today," he grabs the latter's arm. He, fortunately, gets away with no more than a DeathGlare and a stern lecture. |
| 108 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: He looks to make himself superior to everyone else because he feels inferior to Lee Jaehak. |
| 109 | [[/folder]] |
| 110 | |
| 111 | [[folder: Team Sukyoung]] |
| 112 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sukyoung.jpg]] |
| 113 | [[caption-width-right:350:You may be talented, but you've never faced a team with teamwork as impeccable as ours, Oh Yunsung! You won't get out of this alive!]] |
| 114 | |
| 115 | The "rescue" team that was guarding the exit of his first official Deep Fracture Dive. In reality, they were agents under the employ of Lee Hwi Min, who accuse Oh Yunsung of being Jinwi Baek's disciple, try to steal the herbal medicine, hit him with a blow intended to permanently cripple him, and when all that fails, try to kill him. |
| 116 | ---- |
| 117 | * DidNotThinkThisThrough: They forgot that Oh Yunsung has video and audio cameras, so he didn't have to kill them to end their threat. He just turned them over to the authorities, and their careers were over. |
| 118 | * EntertaininglyWrong: They were spying on Jinwhi Baek and saw him meet Oh Yunsung, so presumed the latter was the apprentice of the former. |
| 119 | * FacelessMooks: Aside from their unnamed leader, they all wear masks during their entire screen time. |
| 120 | * GameBreakingInjury: Attempted but averted. Their leader strikes Oh Yunsung with a martial arts strike that should have destroyed tle latter's ability to generate Ki, and leave him paralyzed. Oh Yunsung's Auto Hunting ability had him completely recover and turn the tables. |
| 121 | * TheMole: They are touted as employees of 2F4T, but are in fact employees of Ancient Dragon Company. |
| 122 | * WrongAssumption: They presumed they were dominating the fight because Oh Yunsung kept missing. Unfortunately, he missed, on purpose, and the bullets he fired launched themselves out of the ground, taking them all out. |

| 128 | [[caption-width-right:350:Seojin is the one speaking.]] |
| 129 | |
| 130 | A scout who came from Tenz to attend the meeting where the international policy allowing for the legal extended fracture dives was announced. He takes an immediate interest in Oh Yunsung. |
| 131 | ---- |
| 132 | * BitCharacter: He doesn't have much of a presence in the story. |
| 133 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: His clumsy attempt to try and scout Oh Yunsung got the attention of Be Jinwin and directly resulted in Oh Yunsung's China junket. |
| 134 | * TwistingTheWords: When he translates Oh Yunsung's polite refusal to join Tenz, he adds some insults to the Tenz martial arts styles, just to rile up Chu Yeop, trying to display said style's alleged superiority in a duel. He has to eat crow when Oh Yunsung beats up Yeop. |
| 135 | [[/folder]] |
| 136 | |
| 137 | [[folder: Chu Yeop]] |
| 138 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chu_yeop.jpg]] |
| 139 | [[caption-width-right:350:Fight me, you Korean coward! Your master must be a coward too!]] |
| 140 | |
| 141 | Chu Seojin's nephew. He immediately tries to demand a duel with Oh Yunsung when the two meet but fails because of LanguageBarrier. When Oh Yunsung politely declines to join Tenz, due to the strict "no outside fighting styles or techniques used without permission" policy, Seojin deliberately provokes him by adding insults to the translation from Oh Yunsung. |
| 142 | ---- |
| 143 | * BloodKnight: Nothing pleases him more than demanding duels from people he sees as strong, so he can relish beating them and flexing his self-perceived superiority. |
| 144 | * StrawHypocrite: He loves to insult other Hunters, even calling Oh Yunsung a coward and besmirching Oh Yunsung's master, yet he dares to fly into a frenzied rage on the ''implication'' that his martial arts technique. |
| 145 | * SuicidalOverconfidence: When he manages to provoke Oh Yunsung into the ring with him, he grants the former three free attacks. He gets a nice taste of tarmac as a result. |
| 146 | [[/folder]] |
| 147 | |
| 148 | [[folder: Jinwi Baek]] |
| 149 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jinwi_baek.jpg]] |
| 150 | [[caption-width-right:350: Unless my ears deceive me, I've been greatly insulted, and by a rookie at that!]] |
| 151 | |
| 152 | The Ceo of Tenz. |
| 153 | ---- |
| 154 | * AffablyEvil: Very jovial and polite, but he loves to cause chaos by acts of wickedness. |
| 155 | * TheBet: He proposes to let Oh Yunsung have the very rare and expensive herbal medicine if he can either take it or manage to touch him once as he's running away. Oh Yunsung manages to do ''both''. |
| 156 | * BloodKnight: He loves to fight and beat down strong opponents. It's been years since he's faced someone even of Oh Yunsung's caliber, who managed to give him a challenge. |
| 157 | * EvilOldFolks: Although affable and polite, he's no less vicious than when he was an active hunter and has been known to make death threats and kill people who annoy him. |
| 158 | * FairPlayVillain: He may not like to admit it when he loses, but he abides by the terms he sets down in any contest. |
| 159 | * HiddenEyes: He prefers to wear sunglasses, regardless of the time of day, to hide his eyes, but they can sometimes be seen in panel close-ups. |
| 160 | * PragmaticVillainy: He plays fair so he's trustworthy when he offers, ''or is offered'' a DealWithTheDevil, even providing the herbal medicine that is a viable cure for Oh Yunsung's master, so the man can go back to being an active Hunter, at the price of five fracture dives... which he later shortens to three if Oh Yunsung would be willing to spend an extended dive on the third one, engaged in a secret mission. |
| 161 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: When his eyes glow red, that's a warning that he's not happy, and someone is about to get hurt. |
| 162 | * RetiredBadass: He almost never takes to the front lines, but his badass cred has not faded. |
| 163 | * SilverFox: He's old enough to have grey hair and he's still MrFanservice. |
| 164 | * SoreLoser: He will never willingly admit when he's beaten. He tells people that he gave Oh Yunsung the herbal medicine, freely, as a gift, but this doesn't fool anybody. |

| 170 | |
| 171 | Oh Yunsung's secretary while he's in China working for Tenz. |
| 172 | ---- |
| 173 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: She grows to like Oh Yunsung as she realizes he's a BenevolentBoss who cares about her well-being, while her own clan threw her out as a "disappointment." |
| 174 | * BlessedWithSuck: She was born with a rare Psy ability that allows her to boost others by diminishing her own strength, but she's just barely above an average human Hunter to begin with. |
| 175 | * HairTriggerTemper: She tends to be enraged with disgusting ease. |
| 176 | * HypercompetentSideKick: She's an excellent secretary and provided Oh Yunsung with an impeccable schedule to maximize his Hunter effectiveness. |
| 177 | * MyMasterRightOrWrong: She obeys the words of her boss, regardless if she understands or agrees with them. When she witnesses Jinwi Baek and Oh Yunsung fighting, she jumps between them, ruining the former's fun and getting kicked aside by the latter, to keep her from getting killed by the former. |
| 178 | * MissionControl: During the Shanghai unforecasted fracture event, Oh Yunsung left her in charge of coordinating the local Hunter clans to minimize the number of casualties. |
| 179 | * {{Omniglot}}: She's fluent in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese, at a minimum. |
| 180 | * {{Tsundere}}: A perfect 50/50 split. Angry and violent on one side, sweet and sensitive on the other. |

| 186 | [[caption-width-right:350:[[WackyMarriageProposal Oh Yungsung, would you like to go out with me for the end goal of marriage?]]]] |
| 187 | |
| 188 | The first daughter of the Red Dragon Gale clan and the first Chinese Hunter Oh Yunsung works with. They officially start dating after he defeats a Wretched Tricker, saving her and her men. |
| 189 | ---- |
| 190 | * AccidentalHandHold: She drops her cell phone while visiting Oh Yunsung in the hospital, as she was using a translation app to present her WackyMarriageProposal to him. They both reach out to catch it at the same time. Cue PowerIncontinence. |
| 191 | * AltarDiplomacy: AND it was her idea! She offered herself up to be Oh Yunsung's fiance to bring his talents to her clan. He accepted on the spot. |
| 192 | * AwesomeByAnalysis: She ''really'' pays attention to Oh Yunsung's actions. She's the only one who picked up on the fact that he moves his hand like he's pushing a button only he can see when he activates his Auto Hunting ability. So when he's laid low by a combination of Won Kyucheon's treachery and Chiwen's might, she moves his arm for him to the spot where the "Auto Hunting" button is and pushes it for him, breaking him free of his paralysis and teaching the dragon the meaning of fear... |
| 193 | * BadassAdorable: She's as cute as a button and can kick major ass when need be. In fact, she's introduced able to slice a bull-type monster at least 10 times her size in half, vertically, with a single swing of her naginata. |
| 194 | * BigDamnHeroes: When Oh Yunsung is about to take a dragon's breath to the face, thanks to the machinations of Lee Hwi Min and his lackeys, she shows up, performs a DivingSave and princess carries him out of danger, but her own leg is damaged in the process. |
| 195 | * BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: On the receiving end in chapter 83. Oh Yunsung paralyzes her, hides her in a forest and calls her a clingy nuisance so she doesn't throw her life away fighting the Chiwen dragon. When Oh Yunsung is literally backstabbed by Won Kyuncheoun, she still comes to his rescue, saving his life. |
| 196 | * BreakoutCharacter: When she goes to the hospital where Oh Yunsung is being treated, after rescuing her and her men from the Wretched Tricker, and asks him to go out with her, with the end goal being marriage, she all but takes over the plot, and immediately wins over the fanbase, featuring prominently in promotional materials. |
| 197 | * DevotedToYou: She ''really'' wants to be Oh Yunsung's bride. She even went through the incredible effort to become proficient in Korean over 10 days of study, while Oh Yunsung was hospitalized. Her reward for saving his life in chapter 89? '''A date!''' |
| 198 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: Her persistant flaw. She is a total lead foot and drives without taking her foot off the gas pedal, taking turns at ridiculous rates of speed and leaving skid marks as she parks. During fractures, this can be justified by the fact that there are monsters everywhere and seconds can mean the difference between life and death, but she does it all the time. |
| 199 | * EndearinglyDorky: Oh Yunsung finds her unfathomably cute because she's socially clumsy and easily flustered. We can't blame him. |
| 200 | * EntertaininglyWrong: When Oh Yunsung attacked her during their joint fracture drive, paralyzed her and laid her on the ground atop a cliff, she thought he was planning to assault her sexually, until he brought the rest of their group and laid them beside her, and then she started hearing her own voice from the area below, cue a MassOhCrap as everyone realized [[TheDreaded a Wretched Tricker]] was in the area. |
| 201 | * FieryRedhead: She sports red hair and has inherited the fire-type Psy technique pioneered by her father. |
| 202 | * InadequateInheritor: Her father groomed her since infancy to run the clan, but despite her unflinching efforts and impeccable character, she's simply not cut out for it. |
| 203 | * IOweYouMyLife: She offers herself up for marriage, not only to get Oh Yunsung into her clan, but as thanks for being rescued from the Wretched Tricker. |
| 204 | * LadyOfWar: Downplayed. When she's on the battlefield, she's very elegant and deadly. In private, she's very shy and socially awkward. |
| 205 | * LogicalWeakness: Her foot technique allows her to accelerate in short bursts by igniting small explosions of flame under her feet, but she can only accelerate in straight lines. |
| 206 | * MsFanservice: Her official combat armor is very form-fitting and leaves precious little to the imagination. She also accidentally burns her clothes off at one point, giving Oh Yunsung an eyeful, though as a gentleman, he douses her flames with water and then hands her a spare shirt to wear, with his back turned to her as she puts it on. |
| 207 | * OfficialCouple: With Oh Yunsung. |
| 208 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: She is indeed a powerful, talented, and diligent Hunter and Martial artist, but she can't hold a candle, literally or figuratively, to either her father or Oh Yunsung. |
| 209 | * PlayingWithFire: Her family psy technique cloaks her and her ancestral naganata with flames. |
| 210 | * PowerIncontinence: Since her flame Psy technique is fueled by emotion, she easily loses control when she's flustered. |
| 211 | * SmartPeopleWearGlasses: She needs reading glasses and she's smart enough to become fluent in reading, writing, and speaking Korean in just 10 days without any prior coaching. |
| 212 | * UniversallyBelovedLeader: Her entire clan absolutely adores her and would put their lives on the line for her if she just gave the word. |
| 213 | * WackyMarriageProposal: When she's visiting Oh Yunsung in the hospital, after he successfully hunted the Wretched Tricker, she uses a translation app to ask to date him, with the end goal of marriage. Once he gets over the shock, Oh Yunsung accepts immediately. |

| 243 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: Crushed beneath a dragon's foot with no fanfare. |
| 244 | * MilesGloriosus: By his own internal admission as he's about to die, he admits that he's based his entire clan around ''the premise'' of being an UnknownRival to Yang Jeongchion. He only pretended to quarrel with the latter, never intending to actually fight. He also notes that Yang was well aware of this but didn't see the need to make him lose face about it. |
| 245 | * TokenEvilTeammate: The rest of his clan have shown that they're actually decent sots all around, even the jerkiest of them.

| 255 | ---- |
| 256 | * BeardOfEvil: Well, chin spike of evil, but yeah. |
| 257 | * ConMan: He passes himself off as a hunter, but he's actually just a manipulator who tricks people into serving him, allowing him to rob them blind, or otherwise exploit them. |
| 258 | * DirtyCoward: He talks a big game when he's in charge or thinks he's in charge. The moment he's at a disadvantage, he tries to run, hide, or beg for mercy. |
| 259 | * EvilMakesYouUgly: Whenever he's convinced one of his evil plots or schemes is sure to succeed, his face warps until it goes right into the deepest part of uncanny valley. |
| 260 | * FauxAffablyEvil: His veneer of civility is so thin a sheet of paper would look thick in comparison. He looks on everybody else with unbridled contempt and drops the act the instant he's even mildly inconvenienced, real or imagined. |
| 261 | * FourEyesZeroSoul: He wears glasses and is a shameless asshat who only sees other people as resources or obstacles. |
| 262 | * IControlMyMinionsThrough: Money, fear, blackmail, and their own basest desires. He often takes people in dire straits, some of which he actively engineers, ropes them into his company with promises of wealth, fame, and power then exploits the hell out of them, and has them do so many terrible things that they can't go anywhere else, and then rewards them with EvilFeelsGood. |
| 263 | * InUniverseNickname: He's known as "Professor Pain" for his jackassery. |
| 264 | * {{Jerkass}}: And that's putting it ''mildly''. |
| 265 | * JoinOrDie: He repeatedly ''orders'' Oh Yunsung to naturalize as a Chinese citizen and serve under him, attempting murder when he refuses. On the final attempt, he throws in a JustThinkOfThePotential to sweeten the deal. Oh Yunsung, not being willing to trust this guy for a split second always refuses and fights him off, which he then demands vengeance for. |
| 266 | * JustThinkOfThePotential: The very last time he "offers" Oh Yunsung the chance to serve under him "letting bygones be bygones", he makes a very impassioned plea asking Oh Yunsung to lend his strength in discovering the mysteries of Fractures. Oh Yunsung pointedly tells him that he's not interested in having a con man as a business partner. |
| 267 | * LeftForDead: Justified. Not being an idiot, an exhausted Oh Yunsung, hands full rescuing Yang Biyeon, leaves him with a broken leg that he broke himself in the fracture, not willing to take the insane risk necessary to rescue a completely unrepentant murderer that tried to straight up kill him and his loved ones on a repeated basis. |
| 268 | * MaliciousSlander: In the wake of the Shanghai unforcasted fracture event, he schemes to lure Oh Yunsung into a fracture dive with him, and then holds a press conference without informing Oh Yunsung in advance, presenting him like a coward for not being present. This backfires when Oh Yunsung shows up and flash-steps right past Ha Yook Il who tried to punch him ''in front of a live press corps''. |
| 269 | * MarionetteMaster: When he has to fight himself, he summons and commands a golem to fight on his behalf. |
| 270 | * MasterOfIllusion: He uses ki-based spells and talismans to cast illusions on himself or others to disguise appearances, locations, and other such trickery. |
| 271 | * AnOfferYouCantRefuse: He "persuades" Hunters to join him by using threats of violence. |
| 272 | * RevengeMyopia: He sends agents to infiltrate the conglomerate 2F4T and has them attack Oh Yunsung at the exit of the first government-approved full fracture drive, with said agents trying to permanently cripple him and steal the herbal medicine he rightly won from the CEO of Tenz, attacks Oh Yunsung in the apartment suite provided by Tenz, and calls himself the wronged party when Oh Yunsung fights back. |
| 273 | * SmugSnake: He always thinks he's the unflinchingly smartest and strongest man in the room. |
| 274 | * StealingTheCredit: He's officially the fourth-ranked Hunter in China, if not the world, but he doesn't actually have the skills or strength to back that up. He hides behind minions or assassinations to make it look like he has the accomplishments to be that strong. |
| 275 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: He's got a real knack for underestimating Oh Yunsung. He picks up on it but then goes on to underestimate how much he underestimates him. |

| 284 | * AnArmAndALeg: When Oh Yunsung retaliates to Professor Pain's conspiracy for the last time, Yunsung comes at him from below the ground and crushes the bones in his legs, right above the ankles, to dust, painfully. |
| 285 | * ButForMeItWasTuesday: Inverted and subverted. He acts as if he's met Yunsung before, but the fact is that the two have met for the first time in chapter 60. |
| 286 | * DidNotThinkThisThrough: He, more than Oh Yunsung, ruins Professor Pain's press conference by jumping up and attacking the latter, ''in front of numerous cameras during a live broadcast.'' |
| 287 | * TheDragon: He's almost constantly following Lee Hwi Min around and doing the latter's bidding. |
| 288 | * LeftForDead: Justified. Since this yahoo absolutely refuses to stop trying to kill Oh Yunsung and is pathologically incapable of recognizing Oh Yunsung as the clearly superior fighter, Oh Yunsung leaves him, legs crippled, in the fracture, where monster swarms could come on him at any moment. |
| 289 | * PsychologicalProjection: Since he's an arrogant asshat, he presumes whoever he disagrees with is the arrogant one while he's the one who's blameless. |
| 290 | * TheyJustDontGetIt: No matter how many times Oh Yunsung beats him down in a fight he himself started, he just can't get it through his thick skull that Yunsung is the stronger and better fighter, period. |

| 298 | |
| 299 | One of professor Pain's lackeys that was brought in to help murder Oh Yunsung for cash. He treats this murder conspiracy as merely an indifferent job until Oh Yunsung declares his intent ToBeAMaster. At this point, he goes completely nuts and takes it as a personal insult that merits the death penalty. |
| 300 | ---- |
| 301 | |
| 302 | * DiabolusExMachina: As Oh Yunsung is hunting Chiwen, he appears out of nowhere and shoots through Yunsung's wrist-mounted sword as the latter was about to stab through the dragon's eye. A few panels later, a flashback reveals that he coats all his arrows with a special musk and that he keeps a pack of short-lived, untameable, specially-bred foxes to track said musk for him, again with no foreshadowing or prior explanation. |
| 303 | * DisproportionateRetribution: He goes completely murder-crazy after a bit of trash-talking from Oh Yunsung, in a China setting where '''everyone''' trash-talks. |
| 304 | * FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: He comes from a very frugal house where he had to hunt as a child with his father so they could have enough food on the table, even in winter, but this does nothing to justify his sadistic cruelty towards people who never met him before. |
| 305 | * IgnoredEpiphany: As the dragon he tries to steal from Oh Yunsung is about to breathe a torrent of fire in his direction, he flashbacks to his childhood and has an epiphany that Professor Pain is not a man worth his time and his actions against Oh Yunsung are wrong, but when the dragon is defeated, he goes right back to trying to murder Yunsung, using Biyeon as a hostage to give him leverage. |
| 306 | * IHaveYourWife: In Chapter 90, he pins an unconscious Yang Biyeon to the ground, puts Aura on his foot and threatens to stomp her ribcage into her heart and lungs if Oh Yunsung does anything but let himself get shot at. Fortunately for Biyeon, he grossly underestimated Yunsung and got a literal curb stomping in response. |
| 307 | * LeftForDead: Since he's an arrogant asshat who thinks it's ''an honor'' to try and kill Oh Yunsung, the latter leaves him unconscious with his two "buddies" Ha Yook Il and Lee Hwi Min, in the fracture, most that Oh Yunsung is going to do is tell a rescue crew the last known location of all three, and with the camera evidence that all three gloated about how they intended to murder him for petty reasons, and acted on it, even if he's rescued, his hunter career is over, and jail time waits for him. |

| 360 | * GreenEyedMonster: By her own admission, she's breaking up with Oh Yunsung, not because he's done anything wrong to her, or in general, but because she's envious that all her lady friends are showing off rich and well-dressed boyfriends, while she's dating a guy who works in a restaurant, pinching pennies with the dream of opening his own business one day. |
| 361 | * HystericalWoman: While they're in the cafe and Oh Yunsung clearly sees through her "it's all your fault I'm breaking up with you because you have no ambition" tirade, he states his points calmly, clearly, and rationally, while she's shouting, pounding on the table, and ends the discussion by grabbing some dark-colored drink and literally throwing it in his face, then storming out. |
| 362 | * NeverMyFault: She's the problem in the relationship, she just refuses to admit it. Her economic status is in no way superior to his, and she spends all her time in unstated vocational education while he holds down the fort with a job, and can't even rebuff him when he proclaims that he's never been stingy with her. |

| 447 | * CombatTentacles: It's basically just a giant mass of tentacles and mouths and uses them all to fight. |
| 448 | * TheDreaded: It is known as one of "The deadly four" species for a damn good reason. |
| 449 | * ItCanThink: It shows surprisingly good tactics and strategies when Oh Yunsung is fighting it. |
| 450 | * ScaryTeeth: Its teeth are so long, sharp, and pointy that they could be confused for stalactites and stalagmites. |
| 451 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After launching its "Sonic Boom" attack at Oh Yunsung at point-blank range repeatedly, with little visible effect, it tries to flee the moment it runs out of stamina. Oh Yunsung uses the opportunity to finish it off, for good, as it tries to flee the fracture, Oh Yunsung riding its back. |
| 452 | * StaringDownCthulhu: An almost literal example, and the way Oh Yunsung manages to beat it. After doing nothing but just standing there taking multiple "sonic boom" attacks to the face, Oh Yunsung moves to end this thing's existence when it panics after seeing that its trump card is having little to no visible effect. |
| 453 | * SuperScream: Its deadliest weapon is a sonic-boom attack where it yells so loudly that the sound waves rupture ear drums, damage auditory nerves, and turn internal organs into salsa. If not for his Auto Hunting ability, Oh Yunsung would never have survived a direct confrontation with this thing. |
| 454 | * SuperToughness: It shrugs off everything Oh Yunsung throws at it, including Yang Biyeon's spear, which Oh Yunsung borrowed without permission. He had to attack it with aura bullets that he caused to blow up ''from the inside'' before it started to receive damage. |
| 455 | * TentacledTerror: It's a writhing mass of tentacles and mouths and is known as one of "the deadly four" ''for a reason.'' |
| 456 | * VoiceChangeling: The mouths on its tentacles can copy and fake any voice they hear, on screen luring one of Yang Biyeon's men to death. |

| 463 | The dragon Oh Yunsung was sent to hunt by Jinwi Baek. |
| 464 | ---- |
| 465 | * AttackItsWeakPoint: Double subverted. Its weakest point is its eyes, but it can generate a ki aura of incredible heat to protect them. This still doesn't help when Oh Yunsung stabs it in the eye with Yang Biyeong's spear ''which consumes fire-based ki''! |
| 466 | * BreathWeapon: It breathes a powerful torrent of flames so hot they vaporize the ground on contact. |
| 467 | * FeedItWithFire: It uses fire-ki to protect its eyes from Oh Yunsung, which makes him stronger because he absorbs said ki with Biyeong's spear and then uses alchemy to boost his Queen Ant Carapce armor. |
| 468 | * HumansAreInsects: It sees humans as annoying bugs that it has to squash at all costs. |
| 469 | * ImpossiblyGracefulGiant: It's as tall as a skyscraper and so fast its movements can barely be seen by the naked eye, even for "The Demon Archer." |
| 470 | * ItCanThink: It has ''at least'' human-level intelligence and adapts to whatever it's fighting at an incredible rate, learning from its mistakes. |
| 471 | * {{Kaiju}}: It's big, it's fast, it's all but invulnerable to normal weapons, ''and it can use ki'' to protect its weak spots. |
| 472 | * MeleeATrois: When Lee Hwi Min and his lackeys ambush Oh Yunsung, it quickly devolves into a three-way battle, with the lackeys trying to kill Oh Yunsung and this dragon, and the dragon trying to kill the lackeys and Yunsung. |
| 473 | * OurDragonsAreDifferent: It's a giant snake with two forearms. |
| 474 | * WowingCthulhu: It should be able to easily kill Oh Yunsung, but his skill and determination cause it to feel fear, by its own internal monologue, for the first time in ''centuries''. |
