Overview

Ahjin Soft is a game corporation headquartered in Korea. Within the revised timeline, Yoo Jinho launched the studio after turning down the role his father had set aside for him at Yoojin Construction and stepping away from that company entirely. Its name comes from the firm's VR title, Beautiful World, which carried its reputation. Though some thought the title tacky, the game was an instant smash on release and grew past twelve million users inside four years, keeping the lead in both profit and popularity for the whole stretch. The studio's name also echoes that of the Ahjin Guild. Spelled backwards, it gives the given name belonging to Sung Jinah, who is married to Jinho in this timeline, though whether he settled on it from a lingering memory of his past life or at her suggestion is never stated.

Role

Across the series, Ahjin Soft functions as a commercial game developer instead of a Hunter outfit. The VR game Beautiful World stands as its flagship and props up its place in the industry. A portion of its staff are Awakened Beings, yet they opted to stay in game development and passed on careers as Hunters, which keeps the company rooted firmly in entertainment.
