### Summary
As anticipated, Sung Jinwoo’s attempt to maintain a low profile by joining a Hunters Guild raid as a porter ends in catastrophe. The team's confidence is shattered when the dungeon, severely mis-ranked by the notoriously inept Hunter Association, reveals itself to be a high-level A-rank gate swarming with powerful High Orcs. The elite A-rank hunters are swiftly and brutally overwhelmed, suffering gruesome casualties and dismemberment. After a tense period of observation that left some readers anxious, Jinwoo abandons his disguise and intervenes with savage efficiency, single-handedly tearing the orcs apart to save the surviving squad members, including a female healer who caught readers' attention. This dramatic rescue confirms the running fan theory that Jinwoo is a "trouble magnet" whose mere presence escalates the danger of any dungeon, a phenomenon now simply called the "protagonist effect" or, more commonly, "Jinwoo happened." While some critique the trope of side characters being rendered helpless, most readers revel in the power fantasy, celebrating another opportunity for Jinwoo to showcase his overwhelming strength and solidify his status as a hunter far beyond any conventional ranking.
