  1. Jinwoo’s Stealth & Cha Hae-In’s Instincts

A-rank dungeon fight

  • Despite Jinwoo’s immense strength, he fails to sense Cha Hae-In’s presence until she speaks—a rare occurrence that surprises even her.
  • Cha notices something off about Jinwoo, suspecting he was holding a weapon moments earlier. She warns him against triggering the boss, as it would endanger everyone in the dungeon.
  • The "Love at First Scent" Moment
    • Cha Hae-In, known for her hypersensitivity to mana-rich scents (which usually repel her), is stunned when she detects Jinwoo’s unique, non-repulsive aura.
    • This subtle interaction hints at her growing fascination with Jinwoo, setting the stage for future developments.
  • Mining Team Mission & Conspiracy

    • The team’s leader, impressed by Jinwoo’s skills, invites him for a high-stakes mission. However, Jinwoo declines due to his prior commitment to the Revolution raid.
  • The Dungeon’s Dark Secrets

    • Jinwoo later joins an A-rank strike squad led by "Sangki," tasked with clearing a dangerous dungeon. Inside, they face an anomaly: weaker C-rank beasts (Dungeon Jackals) instead of expected A-rank threats.
    • The Jackals are revealed to be artificially controlled, raising questions about who’s manipulating them.
  • Jinwoo’s Secret Intervention

    • The episode ends with the team trapped as 50+ High Orcs surround them. Their leader, Kargal, offers a grim choice: die or join him.
    • Jinwoo flashes back to his double-dungeon ordeal, but this time, he’s no longer powerless—teasing an explosive showdown in the next episode.
