The Solo Player With Max Speed Stats
A city where neon lights flicker over cracked pavement and monsters lurk just beyond the skyline, society revolves around The Awakening System—a mysterious framework that grants powers to hunters based on their latent potential. Strength, magic, and durability are prized above all, while agility is seen as a mere auxiliary trait. In this unforgiving world, only the visibly powerful survive.
Yoo Jinhyuk, once a promising member of the elite hero party Vanguard Dawn, is banished in disgrace after a failed dungeon raid. Labeled deadweight for having “only speed” and no offensive skills, he’s abandoned by those he called allies. But what the world doesn’t realize is that Jinhyuk didn’t max his speed stat by accident—it was a choice, a silent rebellion against a system that values brute force over finesse.
Alone and disillusioned, Jinhyuk turns his back on the organized guilds and sprawling hunter alliances, choosing instead to train in secret, deep within the city's forgotten districts. He survives by farming low-level dungeons solo, using his unmatched agility to outmaneuver enemies with surgical precision. As his body adapts beyond the system's expected limits, he begins to awaken new, undocumented abilities—blurring the line between system-defined stats and true evolution.
But with power comes attention.
Soon, Jinhyuk finds himself hunted by corrupt guilds, exploited by system hackers, and entangled in a conspiracy that challenges the very foundation of the Awakening System. As rogue awakened beings and underground organizations emerge from the shadows, he must confront his growing powers and the trauma of betrayal. His speed becomes more than just a stat—it becomes a weapon, a shield, and a statement.
Through deadly trials, enigmatic NPC-like guides, and unexpected alliances with other outcasts, Jinhyuk’s journey becomes one of transformation. Not just in strength, but in trust. Can he allow others back into his life, or will his speed keep him forever out of reach?
