The first season of the anime followed the journey of the once-weak E-Rank Hunter, Sung Jin-Woo, who acquires a mysterious System that allows him to be the only Hunter capable of leveling up. With the System, he has to complete daily quests, facing penalties for any failures.

After attaining a certain level, Jin-Woo embarks on a job-change quest, entering a castle to confront Igris, the Bloodred Knight Commander, along with an endless wave of monsters. Completing this quest earns him the title “Shadow Monarch,”granting him the remarkable ability to resurrect the dead as part of his “shadow army.”
