The podcasters discussed the plot of this South Korean novel, which was adapted into an anime. It involves hunters battling creatures from different dimensions, and one hunter's unique ability to level up.

Okay so um it's hard to explain but I'll try. So there's these hunters okay because I don't know where it is Japan or whatever right. All these gates start opening up portals right to different dimensions and they're sort of like they're explained as if they're like a video game so you like dungeon where you clear it out and so and all these little gates is always like a boss and this and there's and every hunter has sort of a level that they're at and they stayed that level pretty much.

So this guy has the very lowest right so he he goes in with a group of hunters if like a gate opens up and you know me he does he usually gets hurt right but one day something weird happens where he's in a gate and all of a sudden he does something and it kills a creature or whatever and then after it's done something weird happens to him where a screen pops up a couple of screens in front of him as if he's in a video game.

He goes you leveled up right and he's like what is this and he goes right it'll go do it right and every time he does something he gets stronger and stronger and then eventually like he gets to like choose a perk right and no one else has this right and all they all treat him like shit because he's like skinny and weak but eventually he goes to so many dungeons that he gets buff and he has like you know dragon skin right and then he has a new sword that like I want to see the current guy with the swords and buffness.
