Captain!

We should be in this fight.

You know that isn't an option.

Even if we join them,

none of our weapons
would deal any damage.

We don't have a
choice in the matter.

It's in the hands
of the hunters.

Stand your ground and fight!

If they get past us,
the frontline's history!

No! This is hopeless!

Might've stood a chance
if we were higher ranked,

but we're not!

Damn it, I'm...fading fast!

♪

Healing magic?

Whoa. That worked instantly!

Hey, look out!

Duck. Now!

Go, Yoonho!

Right!

♪

Yes. They're here.

Leave it to the S-Rank
hunters to clean house!

I think Byung-gu's
a little too eager.

I'm sorry, but the sooner I
act, the more people I heal.

Besides, I only rushed
in the way I did because

'cause you two
were close behind.

Hm.

Huh?

♪

It's big, but I don't think
we've made it to the boss yet.

Probably just the lead
pest of this infestation.

Byung-gu, look
after the wounded.

Don't have to tell
me twice. I'm on it.

Are you ready for this, Eunseok?

You know it!

♪

-You're a tank. Damn.
-And?

-Hm. -Hm?

This wasn't the
leader after all.

Lucky us.

♪

Seems they made it.

No doubt in the nick of time.

♪

Well, well.

Suppose we should
get started, too.

Guild Master! On your order!

Right.

♪

All units, attack!

More than a decade ago,

a series of pathways appeared

connecting our world
to another dimension.

And ushering in untold horrors.

For the other side
of these "gates"

teamed with bizarre creatures
called "magic beasts."

Though these
monsters proved immune

to conventional weaponry,

some humans awakened
abilities to combat the threat.

They are known as hunters.

And the magic coursing through
them determines their rank.

There's S, A, B, C, D,

leaving E as the lowest level.

The catch is

no amount of training
will improve their power

once it awakens.

A hunter's strength and
rank are set from day one.

♪

Best of luck to you and
your crew on today's raid.

Thank you.

No need to overthink it.

Hey! What's up, Mr. Kim?

Long time no see.

Now there's a face
I wasn't expecting.

Thought you said you'd had
your fill of hunting, Beom-shik.

That was before baby
number two was on the way.

A successful raid
will definitely

score you a pretty nice
mint for your new kiddo.

Yeah.

I'm pretty nervous.

It's been a while. So,
you know, I'm super rusty.

I was always weak to begin with.

Huh? Is that a
Jinwoo Sung I see?

Yo, what's going on?

Came out despite the cold, huh?

Yeah.

Nice to be working
with you guys again.

Hey, kid, have you eaten yet?

Can't fight magic
beasts running on fumes.

Right. I did eat before
I got here, thanks.

Why is everybody
flagging him down?

Is that kid like a
big deal or something?

He's the exact opposite.

Jinwoo joined up not
long after you quit,

well, I call him the
weakest hunter of all mankind.

Wait, really? That's a thing?

It was once he got hospitalized

after a trip through
an E-Rank gate.

If that isn't weak,
then I don't know what is.

It's hard to picture of
someone being that bad.

-But he is.
-So just him being here means

it's gonna be a real easy raid.

Aha. Gotcha.

We should probably drop it.

I'd hate for him to overhear us.

Too late. Heard every word.

Well, they didn't say anything

that isn't true,
so I can't argue.

Jinwoo! You got hurt again!

Yeah, but I'll live.

It's good to see you, Joohee.

How about you
skip the small talk

and explain what
happened to you?

Oh, I...

You know, the same thing
that usually happens.

You seriously need
to be more careful.

I heard you even
had a hospital stay.

Hey, silver lining, though,
is that I was the only one hurt.

So what exactly went wrong?

The rest of the team
was a higher-rank,

and the dungeon was an E,

so they didn't think
to bring a healer.

They didn't bring a healer?

Of all the thoughtless,
self-centered things to do!

Not like I'm mad. It isn't
their fault I'm so weak.

I'm used to being treated
that way by hunters.

Figured you knew that.

Hm.

It looks like they're
ready to head inside.

Come on.

The name's Chiyul Song,

and unless any of
you have objections,

I volunteer to be the
leader of our dungeon raid.

Speak now or hold your peace.

Nope. I'm all for it.

Chiyul is the most skilled

out of everybody here.

One less worry
if he's in charge.

Working with you, sir,
is an absolute privilege.

Thanks.

Now, with that settled...

Shall we?

Hey, kid.

Hang behind the rest of the pack

and don't get yourself hurt.

Good idea. I'll try.

Focus on succeeding, not trying.

This knife has barely
any magic power in it,

but it was the only
weapon I could afford.

Hey, it's better than nothing.

All right, let's see
this through to the end.

Ah, welcome back, Chairman Go.

How was your meeting
with the administration?

We covered the
usual talking points.

Dungeon breaks are
a constant problem,

but they still want
the resources we collect

from every open gate.

Their demands are logical.

Anyone with sense would agree.

Hunting's now one of the
most lucrative careers on earth

thanks to the treasures
found in those monster dens.

Who would have guessed the
trophies inside magic beasts,

these essence stones,
would be so valuable?

♪

I actually got one.

I can hardly believe it.

Jinwoo!

- You have to fight him off!
- Stay back, Joohee!

I gotta go back and help
with the main assault.

Look after him and
patch him up if you can.

Right. I will.

You're going to be okay.

I'll make you good as new

♪

We hunters gather essence stones

from high ranked beasts

and use them to create
weapons and armor.

That allow us to take down

even more creatures
in a vicious cycle.

One would think we'd
just harvest mana crystals

since they perform
the same function.

Yet they're less potent
and make for weaker gear.

But the government's interested
in a much different use?

As a new power source. Yes.

They're safer than nuclear.

More efficient than
water, wind or geothermal.

And don't pollute the
atmosphere like fossil fuels.

Quite simply, the
ideal clean energy.

As we speak,
scientists are working

to get those magic minerals
to produce electricity.

A rare fuel source

only hunters are
able to collect.

Making the burden that
all hunters bear heavier

than it already was.

We did it!

I gotta hand it
to you, Mr. Song,

you know how to call 'em!

Now be honest,

you aren't just
staying on as a hunter

because you're too
stubborn to quit, right?

It's only a matter of when,

not if, something
much worse happens.

I thought your stomach
was all that needed healing,

but you're hurt everywhere!

Sorry.

I'm not asking for
an apology here, okay?

I'm worried about you.

♪

Everyone, good?

All loot collected?

If it can fetch a price,
safe to say we got it.

Mana crystals are scarce
here as essence stones.

This dungeon was
one dry cash cow.

I guess it's over.

And all I have to
show for it is a single

E-Rank essence stone.

What a crap reward
for risking my life.

Hey!

Come take a look at this, guys!

- A cave?
- Or tunnel maybe?

Either way, it seems
to go pretty far.

This has to be a double dungeon.

Never seen one
in person, though.

I was wondering
why there weren't

any signs of this
place shutting down

after we beat that mutt.

I have to admit, that
thought crossed my mind, too.

And there's more.

Maybe, this cash cow might
not be as dry as we assumed.

Listen up, ladies and gents.

Standard procedures
is to report cases

like this to the
Hunters Association.

And wait for their approval.

Now, hang on a second here.

That'd give other hunters
a chance to beat the boss

and loot the goods.

There isn't any part
of a D-Rank dungeon

that would be out of
our group's league.

He's got another kid on the way.

He was banking on a
decent haul from this raid.

It'd be okay to bend the rules

a tiny bit, right?

Just a smidge?

I understand how you feel.

But going any farther
would endanger our lives.

So I say we put it to a vote.

-I'm not feeling it.
-Well, I am.

I vote no.

Same here.

It's worth checking out.

-I agree.
-Me too.

I-I beg to differ.

-Come on, let's go.
-We'll be fine.

I'm sorry, everyone.

-I really don't want to.
-All right.

That's six in favor of
going and six opposed.

Which would make Jinwoo
here the deciding vote.

What, i-it's up to me?

Even if the danger
isn't above a D-Rank,

I'm in trouble no matter what.

Still with Dad missing,

I'm the only one who
can provide for my family.

Mom's treatments aren't free.

And then there's my
sister's college tuition.

I don't want money.

I need it.

I vote yes.

Raise your right hand,
place it on a black crystal

and just try to relax.

♪

We're ready for whoever's next.

We would love a C-Rank hunter

such as yourself
to join our guild.

Just look at that bottom
section and you'll find

our labor conditions
listed in extensive detail.

As of right now,

a B-Rank hunter and two C-Ranks
agreed to sign with our guild.

So it's going
rather well, I'd say.

I think you'll be pleased,

Guild Master.

I already am.

If anybody seems like an
asset, make them an offer

regardless of
their age or gender.

I doubt they'll compare
to someone like Hae-in Cha,

but the world is
full of surprises.

Purse thieves! Stop them!

Outta the damn way!

Holy!

Huh?!

Move, lady! D'you wanna die?

-Gosh, that was incredible.
-Here.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

The S-Rank hunter?

I'd like to leave.

Look at her go!

That's an S-Rank hunter for you.

How long's it been since
we started this trek?

About 40 minutes.

Gates close an hour
after the boss is defeated,

so we'll have 20
minutes to spare.

Joohee, I'm really sorry.

What'd you do now?

I voted yes to come down here.

Even though you hoped
that we'd call it quits.

I'm the last thing you
should be worried about,

so stop it.

I'll stop if you're
sure you're okay.

You've got to be kidding me.

I'm obviously not okay.

Get a sudden case of amnesia?

Or has it not occurred to
you that goblin could've struck

a little higher
and ended your life?

Healing up that wound
along with your arms and legs

wasn't easy, Jinwoo!

I swear you hit your head.

That's the only explanation

for how much of an
idiot you're being!

I'm sorry.

I can't deny.

Joohee's B-Rank healing spells

have come in clutch on
more than one occasion.

Do you really grasp
the issue here?

Yeah.

Well, in that case,

you could always
show your thanks

by taking me out
to eat somewhere.

Why the shock?

Is the thought of treating me
to a meal so upsetting to you?

No, no, no, no, no.

That's not it at all.

Finally! We found the lair!

Rare to see an actual
door on one of these.

It's kind of unnerving.

Mm-hm.

Didn't walk that marathon
to turn back empty-handed.

No, sure as heck didn't.

The team moves forward together.

All 13 of us.

Isn't that right?

Yep. That's the deal.

For those who don't
know me, I'm Gunhee Go.

Greetings from the Hunter's
Association's current chair.

Some of you newly awakened
will choose to become hunters.

Some won't.

But I ask that you consider
carefully before deciding.

It's been ten years

since the gates appeared,
yet they still remain a mystery

for the most part.

So to become a hunter
is to risk your life.

Even those accustomed to raids
cannot let their guards down.

Refrain from growing
arrogant or careless.

My best advice to ensure
your survival would be

stay both humble and afraid.

Heh. "Let there be light."

And a dope atmosphere.

This dungeon's unique all right.

What's with the old statues?

They each have
something different.

Yeah, a weapon or an instrument.

Oh, whoa.

He makes the others
seem like toys.

That's damn huge.

- He a king?
- King of creepiness.

So where are the mana
crystals and magic beasts?

I'm saying

I don't even see bugs.

What's this for? Divination?

Mister Song!

Something's written over here.

In ancient script, of course.

"The Cartenon Temple's
Commandments are as follows.

"First, thou shalt worship God.

-Second, thou shalt praise God."
-J-Jinwoo!

"Third, thou shalt
prove thy faith."

That huge stone statue.
I saw its eyes move.

It's been watching
us this entire time.

Uh...

There's no way.
You're seeing things.

"You will not leave alive?"

The door! It just
shut on its own!

- But why?
- It's fine.

I'm sure we can open
it back up again.

Better hope so.

See, this is what we get
for taking a stupid risk.

I knew we shouldn't have
kept going, but I was outvoted.

If there's treasure
lying around,

you idiots are welcome to it.

I'm leaving.

Look out, it's a trap!

♪

♪

-Didn't stand a chance.
-They'll get us, too!

What now? Do we
fight those things?

- We can't-- -
That guy who died,

he must've been D-Rank at least.

Stronger than me, anyway.

I mean, who isn't?

And he was gone.

Just like that.

What's going on?

This is a D-Rank dungeon.

No, no, there
aren't supposed to be

things like that down here.

If these statues are
moving, then that means...

♪

I've stared death in the face

plenty of times since
I became a hunter.

In my first raid,

I lost my party and
wound up stranded.

E-Rank monsters have
hospitalized me for weeks.

There was a time I
nearly starved to death

in a labyrinth.

It could be the lowest
of low-ranked dungeons,

but I'll still be
fighting for my life.

Most hunters buy
upgraded gear with the cash

they make from
selling essence stones.

They take down stronger beasts,

reap bigger rewards.

But I break the bank just
splurging on cheap knives,

and once they break, that's it.

I'm back to fighting
with my bare hands.

Even my shoes are shot.

And so, day after
excruciating day...

...I endure the
mockery and perform this

life-threatening job that
takes way more than it gives.

'Cause I've learned that I
can survive most anything,

if I keep my eyes
peeled for opportunities.

Maybe that's why
I was able to tell.

Get down now!

♪

What the hell?

-For real.
-How'd we trigger it?

-You think I know?
-Are you all right, Beom-shik?

Somehow. What about you?

I'm fine.

No more.

Please, no more!

What just happened?

This can't be real.

But it is, we're trapped.

Done for.

Dead.

We're all gonna die!
