Note: Hey there, thank you for reading this stupid fanfiction I came up with to spend all that free time that I have recently gotten. I came up with this idea after finishing the Solo Leveling light novel which I absolutely loved. Sung Jin Woo kinda reminded me of a more "Grownup/Badass" Subaru who is the protagonist of one of the series that's also one of my favorites, Re:Zero. It's my first time writing so please don't be too harsh with the criticism (hehe). Anyway, hope you enjoy it.


Years after the battle with the monarchs had ended Sung Jin Woo was enjoying his now peaceful life away from battle and suffering.

Sitting on a couch, he was thinking about the days when he used to go in dungeons and beat the living hell out of all the monsters that came his way, as at the time, that was one of the only things that were able to somewhat calm his mind of all the things he had to deal with in the future.

After a good dose of nostalgia, he remembered an instant dungeon key that was gifted to him by the system as one of the many quest rewards that he had gotten by it. Thinking of it he came up with the idea to try to use the key and enter the instant dungeon to "play" with the monsters that were within it.

But there was one problem. The dungeons that were opened by the keys that were rewarded by the system, were also created by the system. But what would the key lead to, now that most of the system was destroyed?

Soon excitement turned to curiosity.

After going to the place that the key was supposed to be used Jin Woo pulled it out from his dimensional inventory and used it to open whatever was waiting for him on the other side.

At that moment a black, portal-like void appeared in front of him. The black void started pulling him in, he tried to escape it with all his might but it was pointless. After getting swallowed by it everything went dark for a few seconds. He opened his eyes. What was in front of him didn't look like a dungeon at all it was clearly different from any dungeon he ever entered. 

It....It looked more like a peaceful medieval city filled with life and different human-like monsters that he had never seen before.

After exploring for a couple of minutes he was interrupted by three punks who apparently were blocking his way on purpose. After a second of staring down the one in the middle pulled 2 daggers.

Robber:If you do not want to die give us whatever you got!!

Huh...Are these guys trying to rob me??

A little confused, Jin-woo looked at them carefully and realized.....They're beyond weak. 

At that moment he saw a little girl with blonde hair that was running with all she had.                         While still running towards them the little girl  scream

Felt: Could you guys please get out of the way I'm in a little hurry.

The girl kept going forward and climbed on the rooftops of the houses surrounding them.

Hmmm...Decent physical ability especially for a little girl, Jin Woo thought to himself.   

After a moment of silence just as the robbers were about to speak again a voice interrupted them. 

Emilia: Give back what you stole. It's something that's more than just important to me.

One of the robbers responded:

We didn't take anything from you. You're probably looking for a blonde girl that came rushing here a second ago.

Emilia: I need to go after her, you better not be lying  

She proceeded to run in their direction, and after passing them the robbers wooshed in relief.

But then she stopped a few meters from them and turned around.

Emilia: However I cannot ignore what's happening here. After saying those words three sharp icicles appeared in front of her, along with that a cat-like creature appeared floating beside her shoulder.  

The three punks started running in fear.

Jin Woo: That wasn't necessary but it would be rude not to thank you.

Emilia: Ohh it was nothing. But to compensate for the favor I need you to answer some questions for me.

Jin Woo nodded: Of course, go-ahead

Emilia: You saw who stole my insignia right?

Jin Woo: Yes I believe that little girl I saw was the one you're looking for. She ran in that direction. Jin Woo pointed the way she ran when he saw her.

Sensing his honesty Emilia nodded and said: Then I have no time to lose.                                                       With that, she started to hurry in desperation to find who stole her precious insignia.

But before she got too far away Jin woo said: I can definitely help with that if you wish.

Emilia confused by his words asked: Why would you spend your time helping me?

Jin Woo responded: Well you did help me without any hesitation despite your situation and besides, I'm new here so I have nothing better to do, plus I am certain it won't take too long to find what you're looking for. He said with a confident smile on his face.

Emilia confused by his statement said: Hmm! I only helped you because I wanted to get some answers but if you insist then ill allow you to help me.

After walking for a little Emilia asked: So what were you saying before? That you can find my insignia really quickly right? How do you think you will be able to o that??

Jin Woo: Hahaha, of course, you wait here just a second.

Jin Woo acted like he was going somewhere than quickly despaired with his stealth skill. Which left Emilia and puck even more confused.

After getting on a rooftop Jin Woo dismissed a very small portion of his now insane amount of shadow soldiers that he had gathered during the war to look for the girl he saw.

After that, he got back to Emilia again

Emilia: Soooo... what did you do? Did you fin my insignia??

Jin Woo: No, Not yet but don't worry all we have to do for now is stay still and wait for a little while.

Although she was confused, she trusted him and did what he said.   

After walking for a bit they sat down on the balcony of a building waiting.

After a second of silence, Emilia said: Ooooh I completely forgot to introduce myself!!

Jin Woo: Ah yes, I go first than My name is Sung Jin Woo, I am a newcomer here so I would also like you to tell me about this place a little more going forward. It is nice to meet both of you.

Then Puck responded: Well name is Puck, it's nice to meet you. Puck touched the hand of Jin Woo with his paw. The magic power Jin Woo radiated from his body was so potent that it completely shook him to the core and turned his fur into spikes making him resemble a  hedgehog.

Worried Emilia said in an even more worried voice:Puuuck what's wrong.

Puck was so shocked that he didn't respond for a couple of seconds but then he came back to his senses and said: Ahh it's nothing it's just that I was too excited to meet our new buddy.

Emilia sighed in relief

Then Jin Woo asked: So what's your name?

Emilia hesitated for a second but then responded:

My name is Satella its nice to meet you Sun..Sung Jin Woo.It's easy to tell from your name that you're not from here.

Jin Woo sensed that she was lying about her name but he decided to go along with it.

Jin Woo:Well Satella it is.He said with a smile on his face.

Emilia was shocked by his reaction but before she could respond Jin Woo said in a excited voice:   Found Her!! 


Note: Sorryyy for the slow paste of the story I promise the next chapters will advance much quicker into the story. This one was more of an introduction chapter.

I would also like to make some things clear:

1.Jin Woo can overpower any character from the Re: Zero world however he will lay low and only fight when necessary. 

2.Ill try to keep the story go somewhat on the cannon route.

3.Prepare for some hardcore flexing on the upcoming chapters.

Also if you think of some better title then please live it in the comments.

And I know some things don't completely make sense like after the war with monarchs the system was supposed to be completely destroyed but I said that it was only partially ruined.          Some minor changes like that may be necessary to fully piece the story together.

I'll try to post the next chapter as soon as possible. Till than cya
