Auto-Hunting With Clones

Twenty-year-old Sang-Woo is the very picture of an unmotivated university student, perfectly content to spend his days lounging about with no particular aim in sight. In the backdrop of his laissez-faire existence, society has undergone a profound shift thanks to a government-backed initiative known as the Awakening Program. Established several years prior, this system was designed to bridge the gap between civilians and the extraordinary, allowing ordinary people to learn and wield unique skills. Over time, the program has gained sweeping acceptance, with the majority of the population now participating in it as a routine rite of passage. Driven more by apathy than aspiration, Sang-Woo signs up without a second thought, expecting nothing of consequence. To his own surprise, the system awakens a specific power within him: the ability to manifest clones of himself. However, the excitement is short-lived. Those around him quickly dismiss the skill as a trivial deception—a mere optical illusion capable of fooling the untrained eye but utterly useless in any practical or combative sense. Nevertheless, Sang-Woo’s journey is far from over. Beneath the shallow jeers and underestimation of his classmates lies a hidden potential that even he has yet to fathom. As he begins to explore the true boundaries of his duplicated selves, the lazy student might just stumble upon a game-changing application of his power—one that will force the world to reconsider what it means to be underestimated.
