2. Side Character:

Name: Lee Minjae (이민재)

Role: Hot-blooded newbie hunter

Age: 26

✅Personality:

-Loud, passionate, loyal

-Jumps headfirst into danger

-Thinks with his fists (and usually regrets it later)

-Calls himself "The Flame Fist," but no one else does

✅Background:

Jinho's childhood friend. Quit his job at a fried chicken chain to become a hunter after barely surviving a dungeon encounter. Obsessed with becoming an "S-Rank Hero," despite being currently E-Rank with fire abilities that only slightly warm things up.

✅Dynamic with Jinho:

Acts as the muscle and hype man, but constantly causes trouble that Jinho has to fix. Their bickering is both heartwarming and a source of comic relief.

Name: Yoo Mirae (유미래)

Role: Executive recruiter for a rising mega-guild

Age: 29

✅Personality:

-Sharp, manipulative, professional

-Speaks in polished PR language

-Hides a mischievous streak behind her corporate smile

✅Background:

Former dungeon raider who "retired" early and became the top scout for a growing international guild. Sees Jinho as a wildcard investment. Whether she wants to recruit him or study (and control) him is unclear.

✅Dynamic with Jinho:

The calm shark circling the sarcastic fish. Their meetings are full of passive-aggressive wit and awkward tension not romantic, but definitely entertaining.

Name: Han Taesuk (한태석)

Role: Elite B-Rank hunter, rising star

Age: 28

✅Personality:

-Stoic, proud, law-and-order mindset

-Deeply offended by Jinho's unorthodox success

-Trains relentlessly and respects "the system"

✅Background:

Comes from a military family. Believes dungeons should be handled by professionals, not lucky idiots. Jinho's nonsense drives him insane. Secretly harbors insecurity over Jinho's unpredictable power.

✅Dynamic with Jinho:

Nemesis/rival. Think Bakugo vs. Deku, but one-sided. Jinho barely notices him half the time, which only makes Taesuk angrier.

Name: Kwon Sena (권세나)

Role: Agent from the Korean Dungeon Regulation Bureau (KDRB)

Age: 31

✅Personality:

-Dry, serious, overworked

-Doesn't like hunters, but hates paperwork more

-Low tolerance for nonsense but somehow keeps being assigned to Jinho

✅Background:

Works for the government agency overseeing dungeon outbreaks and superpowered individuals. Keeps tabs on "unstable elements" like Jinho. Deep down, wants to protect civilians, but bureaucracy often ties her hands.

✅Dynamic with Jinho:

Mutual annoyance, slowly evolving into mutual respect. Thinks Jinho is a walking disaster but also might be the key to something big.

Name: Choi Yuri (최유리)

Role: E-Rank Healer

Age: 24

✅Personality:

-Kind, awkward, surprisingly blunt

-Nerdy about dungeon ecology and stats

-Tends to say unexpected, brutal truths with a sweet smile

✅Background:

Originally trained to be a nurse. Became a healer after discovering she could boost regen through dungeon herbs. Runs a side blog on dungeon foraging called "Moss and Mayhem." Becomes the reluctant healer in Jinho's team.

✅Dynamic with Jinho:

Like a younger sister/coworker dynamic. She's one of the few people who isn't afraid to call out Jinho's laziness or patch him up afterward.
