(Synopsis from the back cover):
«Arise! Once dubbed the Weakest Hunter of All Mankind, Jinwoo is now…well, something else entirely. Armed with his mysterious system, he’s currently powerful enough to single-handedly clear dungeons that once would have proven life-threatening. He just has to ready himself to take on the Demon’s Castle—and what better way to do so than finishing a quest? Exclusive new weapons and skills from an assassin-class job may be just what Jinwoo needs… but the system seems to have other plans for him!»

Like the first volume in the series, though somewhat less problematic. It maintains the abundant violence and fast-paced action. It's a quick and easy read. It's actually quite addictive. Although it's more of the same throughout. There's a slight mention of blasphemy or irreverence towards the sacred through the use of a swear word. Having read it in English, I'm not sure how it was translated into Spanish. There are no sexual scenes. It could be considered a celebration of violence or the pursuit of power, of being physically stronger, etc. In short, individualism.
