Plot Overview

Chimera Hunter Number 17 has spent decades hunting monsters—not by choice, but because he was turned into a living weapon. Kidnapped as a young boy named Do-un Cheon, he was forcibly transformed into a chimera through brutal experiments, his humanity stripped away piece by piece. For years beyond counting, he served as a mindless killing machine, forced into endless battles against monsters, reduced to nothing more than a tool—a weapon numbered 17 among many others.

Then comes his final mission. The human hunters need to escape from a dangerous zone, and Number 17 receives his orders: ensure their escape and never return to base. The meaning is crystal clear—he’s meant to die. A disposable weapon sent on a suicide mission, expected to sacrifice himself so the “real” humans can live. As his chimera body begins dissolving after the battle, his consciousness fading, Do-un’s entire tragic life flashes before his eyes: the moment he was kidnapped as an innocent child, the agony of transformation, the countless battles he was forced to fight, the slow death of his humanity.

But then, against all odds, something impossible happens. Instead of dying, his body begins reforming—not as the monstrous chimera, but as his original human form. The experiments, the transformations, the decades as a weapon… somehow reversed.

No longer Chimera Hunter Number 17, he opens his eyes and finds himself standing on his own two human feet as Do-un Cheon for the first time in decades. Before him stretches a vast, open land—untamed wilderness filled not with orders to kill, but with freedom and possibility. His weapon-scarred mind, slowly remembering what it means to be human, makes a life-changing decision:
“I’m going to start my life anew.”

But this time, he won’t be a hunter. He won’t kill monsters. Instead, Do-un chooses a different path—making friends out of the very monsters he once slaughtered, building the family he never had, and finding healing in the peaceful company of creatures the rest of humanity fears. Can a former living weapon learn to live? Can monsters and humans truly coexist? Do-un’s journey to reclaim his lost humanity begins now.
