Sung Jin-Woo a Twenty-year-old lives in a world, where random ‘Gates’ opens up connecting the real world with the realm of magic and monsters. To fight these beasts, ordinary people began to receive superhuman powers and became known as “Hunters” who fight to protect humanity.

These Hunters are categorized into ranks from A to E according to their potential, but there is also a class called the ‘S-Rank’ who are the highest-ranked among other Hunters thereby also called ‘World Class Hunters’.

Sung Jin-Woo is hardly an E-rank, but other Hunters refer to him as the “World’s Weakest” since he has little or no potential. Still, he goes on raids to pay the medical bills of his mother, who is in a deep slumber.
