Notes & Trivia

• Stone was first mentioned in Season 2 Episode 14. His silhouette was first seen in Season 2 Episode 14. He made his full debut in Season 2 Episode 31, in which his game name was also revealed. His real name was revealed by The System when he was healed by Hardcore Leveling Warrior's Perfect Cure in Season 2 Episode 123. His made his real world debut in Season 2 Episode 133.
• After Stone's backstory was revealed in Season 2 Episode 77, many fans said that Stone has the motif of a typical Isekai protagonist who is usually forcefully summoned to another world and asked to save said world.
• He is the only player to defeat Dark in the 'New Ranked System'.^[2]
• Stone's class was revealed to be Hero in Season 2 Episode 75.
• The trainers that Stone wears is a homage to the 'Air Jordan 1 High Travis Scott' shoe. Kim Sehoon is a massive fan of trainers.
• Before he was hit by a car and put in a coma, Stone was already a Lucid Adventure player as he noticed the log-in sound from the game when the Dragon of Light summoned him.^[6]
• Stone is the second character in a coma that is seen playing Lucid Adventure. The first was Han Gun-Jae.
• Based on the information revealed about Stone's situation in the real world in Season 2 Episode 77, some Korean fans have a theory that Stone is Lila's son. In Episode 176, it was revealed by Chairman Kim that Lila needed money for her child's surgery.
• Some Korean fans believed that Stone's personal attribute was Yeon Gaesomun, a powerful military dictator in the waning days of the Goguryeo Kingdom, which was one of the Three Kingdoms of ancient Korea. Many Korean scholars today echo Shin Chaeho and praise Yeon Gaesomun as a soldier-statesman without equal in Korean history. Tang and Silla sources portrayed Yeon Gaesomun as a brutal and arrogant dictator who carried five swords at a time, and had men prostrate themselves so that he could use their backs to mount and dismount his horse.
• Because of Stone's ability to use multiple swords at the same time, fans compared him to a few other popular manga characters such as Haru Glory, the main character from Rave Master and Roronoa Zoro from One Piece.
• Stone's combat power may exceed the combat power of the rank no.1 Hardcore Leveling Warrior with three warrior swords equipped, but this was never explicitly stated in the webtoon.
• Stone's personal attribute was never explicitly stated in the webtoon. Season 2 Episode 77 was titled "Stone's Personal Attribute Unleashed", so there are several theories as to what the personal attribute was based on that episode.
  • Some believe that Stone's personal attribute is the Advent of Haru because it occurred in Season 2 Episode 77.
  • Some believe that it is the Hero's Emblem because when the Dragon of Light told Stone that she would grant him his personal attribute that would make him the strongest Hero, Stone was immediately marked with Hero's Emblem.
  • Until the author explicitly states Stone's personal attribute, it will be left as "???" to avoid speculation.
• Despite Han Gun-Jae telling Dragon of Light that it was Vinjure that would identify "The Ones Who See the End", Dragon of Light said that Stone was in fact "The One who sees the end" that she will create during her battle with No Name. Dragon of Light charged her children with protecting Stone so he could accomplish this task.^[26] Seeing that Stone was never mentioned by Han Gun-Jae or The Witch as one of the "Ones who will See the end", he has not been included in the list of The Ones Who See the End along with Hardcore Leveling Warrior, Sora and Dark.
