A Hunter's Stamina

In a world transformed by the sudden emergence of dungeons, certain individuals awaken with extraordinary abilities and become hunters. South Korea introduces an unconventional policy to bolster its defenses: anyone who serves as a hunter for ten years secures a full military exemption for their siblings. This legislation inadvertently sparks a troubling trend among affluent families, who begin adopting children solely to use them as shields for their biological offspring. Yeon-woo is one such adoptee, brought into a wealthy household under these exact circumstances. Driven by genuine devotion rather than obligation, he embraces the grueling life of a hunter to protect his younger adopted brother, Jeong-woo. Five years into his decade-long service, Yeon-woo faces a harrowing crisis when an unidentified dungeon materializes dangerously close to Jeong-woo’s university campus. With no guarantee of what horrors lie within, Yeon-woo immediately volunteers for the perilous clearance operation. Fully aware that this uncharted territory could claim his life, he steps forward without hesitation, prepared to sacrifice everything—including his own survival—to ensure his brother remains safe.
