History

Chul-Jin took part in a raid run by Hwang Dongsuk's team. The squad cornered Sung Jinwoo and Yoo Jinho inside the dungeon and forced the boss fight to begin early. Once the Giant Arachnid Buryura surfaced, the Lizards fled and left the pair to face it, even collapsing rubble across the exit to seal them inside.

Against the odds, Jinwoo brought the boss down by himself. The Lizards then circled back hoping to finish him off, and at that very moment the System ordered Jinwoo to put down the rogue hunters. Chul-Jin moved to avenge a slain comrade, but Jinwoo drove Kasaka's Venom Fang into him. The weapon's Bleed effect took hold, and he bled out and died.
