Sung Jinwoo x Reader Series Vote poll Winner

Hello everyone! It's been a while. I hope everyone is doing quite well!

To update everyone on my current situation, I have been off from my surgery leave and am still slowly recovering with physio every week.

To be honest, I have just finished a gruelling three weeks of nonstop work once I'm back. No weekend off.

It was high-stress and unpredictable. The moment you thought everything was stable, a new work problem occurred, and everyone scrambled and panicked right away to finish and solve the job.

Add to it with mixed orders coming from above and bosses adding unnecessary pressure on your back. By the end of the day, I was truly exhausted and just ended up dead on my couch. Completely derailed from my plan to write even a little after.

But enough of that, I apologize that I'm rambling off on you guys. I'm just really happy and relieved that it was finally over and can now take things slow.

My schedule is still uncertain but I'm back, things at work are finally slowing down so hopefully I will have more time to write in the future.

But anyway, I would like to announce the winner of the recent Sung Jin Woo x Reader Series voting poll and it is none other than!!!!

SERENDIPITY SERIES!

You guys! This was really unexpected because at first it looked like the Infatuation Series would win but then at the finishing line, an unexpected overturn happened and the Serendipity Series gained more votes.😂

I was like 'WHAT THE HELL!? HOW DID THAT HAPPENED?!🤣'

Well because of it, I never had time to properly prepare for it because I was preparing for the Infatuation Series way ahead at first.🤣

LOL! And so, I would like to apologize for my late response and announce that the launch of the first chapter of the Serendipity Series will be either the end of the week or next week as I'm still writing and editing the first chapter.

I'm really sorry. I know that you guys were really looking forward to it but I will try and write as much as I can and edit it.

Thank you for reading my long nonsense rambling.🥰

Solo Leveling Merch!

My sister just returned from her courses in another province and looked at what she gave me. Sadly, she didn't get our dear Shadow Monarch, Sung Jin Woo.

Woo Jinchul sighed, messaging his forehead to relieve yet another migraine. After the biggest and most successful raid on Jeju island by the talented S-Rank Hunters came the aftermath, which led to him and his team cleaning up everything. From day to night, he managed Hunters and their entry to the island so they could clean everything for the island to be used again. He relisted everything that he had done so he could have peace of mind and hopefully rest after so long. The Hunters Guild members and some officers from his department participated in the clean-up. The Chairman partially dealt with the aftermath of the alliance with Japan. Weren’t things running too smoothly?

Odd how she never stepped in to offer assistance. Yes, Jinchul wholeheartedly agreed when he heard his team gossiping among themselves. Then he remembered you were on rest leave until further notice. He glanced over at the calendar on his desk. It had been some time since you were last active, and you had been silent—maybe too silent—all this time, so he should stop delaying your return unintentionally and let you do what you do best—annoying the hell out of him with your insistence to help him and the other Hunters and their guilds. He sighed once more. It was good while his peace lasted. He was just about to call your number when he paused midway and words from the Chairman rang in his head.

“If you continue to use that firm and indifferent tone everywhere you go, one day you will hurt someone with a fragile or sensitive heart and regret it. You might think it is professionalism, but even that has its limits and lines not to cross. Be more mindful of your harshness, young man. You never know what will happen in the future.”

Jinchul left the phone app and changed to check his schedule. He was free for the rest of the day, so he could pay you a visit. So he arrived in front of a familiar door and knocked on the door, then stepped back to wait for it to be opened. He had given you plenty of visits in the past because of various reasons he would also have a headache over. However, he can’t deny the dedication you show in your work and duties. Despite your title as “The Laziest Hunter of All Mankind”,  you were hardly lazy when you put your mind to it. Yes, you constantly look at your phone, but the results you produce match those of his highest and most talented personnel. At the end of the day, he is still grateful for your presence.

He heard noises behind the people and mumbles of what he could piece out to be a conversation. Did you perhaps have friends over? He couldn’t help but let the edge of his lips curl up, concluding that would enjoy your free time if given the opportunity. Just as he thought of letting you have some more ‘suspension’, the door opened. 

“Who are you, mister?” A little girl was answering the door.

“Uh.” Jinchul caught himself, then cleared his throat before he  kneeled down in front of her. “Hello, I am Woo Jinchul with the Hunters Association’s Surveillance Department.” He explained with a small smile, showing  his badge and name card, “Can I ask if there is a Hunter [Last Name] in this condominium?”

“That was the person who sold us the place.” A man, who was obviously the girl’s father, came to the door and cracked the door and opened it while nudging the girl behind his legs. The father took the name card Jinchul gave and looked it over. “But we don’t know where or what happened with the previous owner, we just moved in last week or so.”

From the gap, Jinchul saw the inside of the apartment. True to the man’s words, he had recently moved in, as evidenced by the scattered cardboard boxes and some furniture still wrapped up. The decoration within didn’t match what he recalled when he visited before. So it was all true. He bowed his head and thanked them for their time and excused him for the interruption, his mind blank as he returned to his car and stared at the steering wheel while his heartbeat quickened. His hands reached for his phone and pressed on your saved contact to dial your number.

The few seconds of silence and waiting felt like an eternity before he got his answer. The number was no longer in use. He tried again―same result. He opened your file information and tried again―same result. He manually typed in number for number—same result. What was happening? The words the Chairman spoke to him repeated in his mind as if he were unconsciously scolding himself. Just like that, a valuable asset to the association has gone missing without a trace. 

His heartbeat beat loudly in his ears. He immediately pulled up your file, accessing the raid records. There had to be someone who would tell him where you were―someone you were close with and spent the most time with, someone you treasured. 

Cha Hae-In blinked twice as she tried to catch her breath. Just like back on Jeju Island, Sung Jin-Woo was there to protect her. Granted that it was within control this time, but it was a massive callback to how powerless she was against a monster like that ant. All the praises and appreciation she has gained cannot shield or protect her from dangers and threats of that level. She knew she was lacking; she knew she should be training to maintain her level and further develop her skills, but whenever she was at her lowest, your words and advice came to her mind like a warm blanket over her. A valued and rare friend of hers who didn’t approach her to enjoy the benefits of knowing an S-Rank Hunter. At that, she smiled and unconsciously hugged herself. Why did she want to join this guild? Perhaps… It was because maybe there’s a higher chance of being closer to yo―

“Who? I don’t know who Hunter [Last Name] is, nor have I met this Hunter before. Why would I know where she is?” 

Jin-Woo’s words made Hae-In snap her head in his direction at the speed of light. She came over to ask who he was talking to, and it turned out it was Woo Jinchul. You were missing? You weren’t in your apartment? No one knows where you are? Without another moment of hesitation and blankness, Hae-In excused herself and left the building. She’ll come back to the cluelessness of Jin-Woo later; right now, she needed to know what was going on with you.

Jin-Woo ended the call with confusion. He repeated your name in his head over and over, trying to find some memory of hearing this name, maybe even seeing this name somewhere. But it drew a blank. Who was this person? Why did Jinchul think he would know about this person? Why did Jinchul say this person was close to him? The biggest question was this person to him? Jinchul mentioned the more he questioned it, the worse his headache that started the moment that name. 

[! NOTIFICATION] A harmful state has been detected. DEBUFF Health and Longevity LV. --

“What?” He noticed the green aura around him, eying Beru, who was trying to heal whatever pain he felt to the best of his capabilities, using Min Byung-Gyu’s talent, which he absorbed. He dismissed Beru and left the building as well, opting to return to his guild building office to rest a bit. He was hoping the headache would fade by the time he sat down in his chair, but it was persistent and a pain. To the point that even the system was interfering and trying to relieve him from this mundane suffering. 

[! ALERT] Bug detected.  Commencing restoration.

“A bug in the system? How is that possible?” Jin-Woo could not think straight as he gripped his head in his hands. This pain and the helpless feeling were familiar and foreign at the same time. He had grown so strong now that he pushed the days where those feelings and experiences to the back of his mind. As he had more pressing matters to deal with, his E-Rank days and moments wouldn’t be able to contribute much to his daily life now. 

“Hey, don’t beat yourself over something you can’t control. The outside just wants to beat you down to laugh at you. Don’t let them and smile through! Be the best you can to get your revenge!”

The voice in his mind made him gasp just as his system gave him another window with a new message this time. The voice was familiar, as if it had a power over him. His headache was gone. He knew that contributed to his system’s functioning, but his heart was telling him another. The voice’s owner, speaking in a bubbly tone but with a touch of force and firmness, told him. It seemed like they had also been wronged and didn’t want him to face the same situation. He raised his head and read the message from the system. 

[! NOTIFICATION] The harmful state has been removed. Conversation between Player and ??? requested. Do you allow this request? Yes No

“Yes.” There was no question. He had to know what was going on. This Hunter [Last Name], the voice in his mind, the headache from trying to remember, and the reason people think he knew someone he doesn’t. Now the system will be on his side and give him information, unlike before, so he will take it.

Greetings, Sung Jin-Woo, the Shadow Monarch. My identity is of no importance to you. Please know that you can refer to me as a CONSTELLATION. I urge you to remain in your world of ignorance and darkness. Accept this generosity and forget having this conversation and the one known as Hunter [Last Name]. Accept

His eyes glanced through the words, and anger boiled within him. Just as his system gave him answers, another came to erase them and attempt to push him back into the world of ignorance without his say. Why? Just because he was human and had nothing to offer or give to the higher beings? Just because they see him as inferior, so they can play him however they please, like a puppet. “How can I accept such a thing? You’re not even giving me another option but to bow to your whims. Who is Hunter [Last Name] to you? Why are you doing all this?”

It is of no concern to you. Forgotten memories meant no importance to the owner, yes? It applies to this case. I ask again, do you accept this generous offer to forget permanently that this conversation ever happened and the forgotten one? Accept

“You’re not even listening.” It was so infuriating that he was once again back to square one, back to his helpless state. This so-called constellation practically demanded that he forget everything and ignore it all. While his system did similar things during quests or dungeon raids, he was also  using the system to further his goals. It was a mutual transaction. However, in this case, this so-called ‘constellation’ was crossing the line.

[! NOTIFICATION] Forgotten memories detected. Interference with the Player’s being detected. Restoration is available, including memories, removed item(s), and hidden gift(s). Do you wish to use <RESTORATION>? Effective immediately. Yes No

“Ha. At least my own system is helping me. Yes, restore everything right away.”

Insatiable {Sung Jinwoo x Reader August One-shot}

Disclaimer: I don’t own anything except for my characters and plot.

Warning: Slight Yandere from the reader and Jinwoo. Sorry for the missed grammar.

Hello everyone, I hope you've been well! I would like to present to you this month's one-shot! The timeline is before Jinwoo met Joohee.

The request came from @xxeclipze. [Hello! Can you make a sung jinwoo x s rank fem reader whose a grim reaper class, she's quiet and a simple minded person who has never once joined any guild since they want to stay independent.][Hello! Can you do sung jin woo with a s/o who's a quiet and simple minded person and they wield a scythe, they had never once joined a guild at all. They're a s-rank hunter too :>]

Watching from the podium as every high-rank hunter did practical combat, Sung Jinwoo's eyes never left your figure as you fought your opponent with the grace and precision he had seen in his early days.

Your hands show no wasted movement as you strike, your steps were solid as you stride to your next target, and your eyes, observant of your enemy's weaknesses.

All these never escape him and yet it’s not just these that Jinwoo observe closely.

The way your hair swayed with your movement, the spark in your eyes as you enjoyed the thrill, the curve in your reddish lips as you taunt your opponent, the sweat that trickled down your slender neck as you tilt your head.

Completely different reasons that he shouldn’t have noted in the first place, however to Jinwoo, he fervently etched it into his very being.

Once, Jinwoo heard that a small spark was all that was needed to ignite a man's obsession.

As the weakest E-rank, Jinwoo was always on the verge of death whenever he entered a dungeon. But with the circumstances, he’s been given, he never had a choice but to always take a step towards death.

And this one was no different from the others he had faced and yet so different at the same time.

The sole reason for that is because of you. An unknown S-rank hunter who was not affiliated with any of the guilds however you work with the hunter association in exchange for keeping your identity.

Jinwoo has learned these only by coincidence when you had been assigned to work with him and the other hunters for another raid.

Jinwoo's impression of you at first is a weird, playful but kind hunter as you accidentally bump into him. The coffee that he just bought spilled on his shirt.

Seeing this, you quickly panicked, bowing profusely, and apologizing.

Seeing that the situation was unavoidable and it was just a pure accident, Jinwoo waved it off with an awkward smile, hoping to diffuse the situation. However, that didn’t seem to work as you looked at him and the coffee he dropped, a flash of guilt on your face.

Bowing again then you quickly ran off in a different direction, Jinwoo thought that that was the end of your interaction however it wasn’t long before you returned, this time with a drink and food in hand.

Giving him the food and drink and not even waiting for him to decline, you told him it was in return for earlier.

Jinwoo, with a panicked expression, tried to decline “This is too much it's just a coffee that was spilled. You didn't have to go through all that trouble.”

With clear and bright eyes, you smiled, “This is nothing. Beside the coffee is for the coffee as for the sandwich…”

You grinned before putting a finger in front of your mouth, “It’s because I find you cute.” You winked and chuckled as Jinwoo blushed. Seeing him so flustered, you couldn't help but find him even cuter.

Thinking that’s enough teasing for the young man in front of you, you winked and smiled at him before giving a small wave and left; leaving a frazzled Jinwoo.

Staring at your disappearing figure, he couldn’t help but think for a moment of your smile. It was beautiful and sincere even though a glint of playfulness was mixed with it. It's so unlike the ones he was used to receiving when he became a weak fool of a hunter.

And for some reason because of your smile, he finally accepted your offer. The lingering hesitation he still has vanished and a warmth ignited within him.

Smiling, Jinwoo took a bite of the food and enjoyed the enriched flavour of coffee on his tongue, his mind drifting to you again.

When he had been trying to calm you down earlier, he took notice of the massive bag behind you, deducing it might be your weapon.

Unusual though never rare as he has also seen other hunters carry such weapons in size. The only thing he’s worried about is that your choice of weapon might have been too big for you as he saw how petite you were.

Later, he considered how foolish he was to have such thoughts as they entered the dungeon and were unexpectedly engulfed by a red gate.

As soon as they entered, everything was calm and controlled. The more experienced hunters were swiftly taking down charging monsters, while he did his best to defend and went after the weaker ones. Unfortunately, his caution didn't prevent him from getting injured.

As the group delved deeper into the dungeon, the atmosphere grew increasingly perilous. The mana in the air darkened, making it difficult for the hunters to breathe, and a sense of fear began to weigh on their minds. The monsters they encountered were noticeably more powerful than those they had faced earlier.

Even the strongest hunter in their group was visibly struggling to deal with the monsters, while Jinwoo could only focus on defending his life.

In the corner of his eyes, he saw you.

He couldn’t help but find it weird as he never saw you use the massive weapon on your back. Only a short sword in hand when confronting such monsters.

However, before Jinwoo could ponder more, screams echoed from all the hunters in his group and he felt like a massive weight fell on him, making him slam into the ground because of an unknown fear and bloodlust that suddenly appeared in the air.

His ears were ringing, his mind disorientated, but once Jinwoo got his bearings, he struggled to lift his head and saw that all his comrades had fallen to the ground. Some fainted, some half-conscious, coughing up blood.

That’s when Jinwoo noticed liquid dripping from the corner of his mouth. The taste of iron on his tongue. Looking down, he saw red droplets staining the ground.

He then heard a growl, a group of monsters slowly prowled at their group as they eyed them, ready to hunt and eat them for their next meal.

Jinwoo thought that things couldn’t get worse when suddenly a massive creature, a chimera, emerged. It’s the dungeon's final boss.

Dread filled Jinwoo’s being.

The thought of his sister waiting for him at home and his mother in the hospital made him tear up as he struggled to get up, to get away.

Abruptly, Jinwoo saw one of the monsters run up at him. The monster's fangs were just about to hit him when he felt a gush of air ruffled his hair. The monster that was about to kill him was now lying in front of him, cut in half.

Blood splattered on his clothes and onto his face; Jinwoo looked up. There in front of him, he saw you.

A massive scythe in hand, adorned with a crimson essence stone, almost resembling a demon eye. A long curving silver blade extends from a skeleton whose skull is wrapped in razor-sharp blades sticking out in different directions, while the rib cage connects to the red and black stem of the handle, which ends in its lower backbone.

 “Are you okay?” You ask, your eyes never leaving the monsters that started circling your group.

Jinwoo silently nodded before realizing you couldn’t see him “I am.”

“That’s good. Take cover for a moment.” You frowned, eyes without the hint of joy nor playfulness from earlier. And yet Jinwoo couldn’t help but find you alluring at that moment.

With a flick of a wrist, your scythe twisted in your hand with ease as if the massive weight was nothing and without a moment, you disappeared, only leaving dust in your wake before Jinwoo heard yelp and howls of pain echoed as you dealt with them swiftly.

Heads torn from their necks and split in half from head to groin. This was the sight Jinwoo witnessed in disbelief as you fought them with such calmness.

All of a sudden, Jinwoo saw the chimera preparing for a breath. He screamed, not caring for his life but yours, “Watch out!”

Evading at the last minute and with a solid step you rush forward, a hand lowered on your weapon's handle and this time you swing your weapon much faster and sharper, completely decapitating the boss of the dungeon, not even leaving a chance for a counterattack.

And with a loud thud, its two heads fell on the floor, cracking the ground.

Finally, as if a weight was lifted from his shoulder, Jinwoo couldn’t help but hyperventilate. All the suppressed emotions he had been holding since the moment he noticed that there was something wrong with this dungeon, came crashing down.

He clutched his chest and tried to calm down, but no matter what, he couldn’t, and beads of sweat dropped faster than the last.

Glancing at him, you turned back, kneeling before him and placing a hand on his forehead. Ignoring the sweat and blood that clung to him.

Still breathing with difficulty, you frowned before meeting your forehead with him, your eyes locking with his frantic ones.

Your voice quietly whispering, “Take it slow and match your breathing with me… that’s its. Just like that…”

Your soft and warm voice made him follow with ease. The soft caress of your hand on his cheeks calmed him down and calmed his trembling body without reserve as he basked in your soft gaze.

The sensation in his cold limb slowly came back as your warmth spread throughout his body. He was sure his ears were tinged with red now that he regained his bearing, though still disorientated.

Sensing that he had calmed down, you smiled softly.

“I’ve heard many things about you, but from what I’ve seen so far, you’re a strong person.”

No, he wasn’t. Jinwoo thought. He wasn’t strong as a hunter. He’s the lowest in his rank. If anything he was barely hanging on supporting his sister and mother. However, before he could wallow more in self-pity, you interrupted as if you heard him.

“Of course, I’m not talking in that sense.” You chuckled.

“I might not know you that well, and we have only met today, but something in you just told me you're a strong person because you're so kind."

You admitted, closing your eyes as you nuzzled into him, ruffling his already messy hair.

Since your first raid, this man immediately caught your attention. Not because of his rank or anything special but because of the kindness and strength inside him.

Learning new little details about him as you observe him every time, a fondness within you arouses.

Even though your personality changes into a confident combatant whenever you enter every mission, you don’t dare to talk to him. Shy and blushing at the mere thought of talking to him, but the incident earlier gave you the courage you needed to take the first step.

Even at this moment, you knew you were pushing it; however, with the way your path is going as a hunter. This was the only time that you might be able to confess to the man who has caught your attention so wholeheartedly.

You did have past crushes; however, they were only admiration by the end of the day and faded right away but this time, it’s different.

He’s different from everyone.

Deep inside, you realize that there wouldn’t be anyone who would be able to compare to him and that there wouldn’t be a chance for you to be with anyone because of him, however, you didn’t mind.

He captured your very being.

Opening your eyes, you softly and lovingly gaze at him causing his already flushed cheeks to turn redder and his eyes reddening.

Noticing that your breaths were intertwining together, your eyes lowered and stared at his lips. If you moved even a little, your lips would finally touch but...you knew that this wasn't right.

He wasn't yours, and you weren't his.

And so with a deep ache inside of you, you close your eyes again, chuckling and lifting your head. Jinwoo then felt your warm and soft lips on his forehead, hearing you say before his consciousness slowly faded.

“You won’t be able to remember this but I like you, Sung Jinwoo.”

And with that, everything went blank.

The next time he woke up, medics were rushing everywhere, assisting him and every hunter who were now out of the gate and regaining their consciousness.

He couldn’t help but look everywhere, looking for you in particular.

He didn’t know why, but now a part of him longed for you deeply, and with time, it seems to only intensify.  

Walking towards you with a calm façade but with trembling hands in his pocket, Jinwoo helplessly clenched them tightly, holding his sanity.

It’s only been a few years but he felt like it’s been an eternity.

As Chairman Go Gunhee introduced him to you, Jinwoo felt some blood flow from his trembling fist as his nails dug into his palm.

Jinwoo lowered his eyes as it darkened. He tried his hardest to calm down as he felt that at any moment he might just grab and attack you, his desire and longing just barely contained.

Letting out a small breathe, he then gave you a close-eyed smile, apologizing to you in his mind.

Now that he finally caught up, this time, he won’t let you go that easily like he did when he was a weak hunter.

Now that he remembers your confession, it’s only right of him to reciprocate it, right?

A/n: It was only supposed to be a short one-shot but it got longer than expected. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this one-shot!
