Episode 2

F-Rank (1) is the second episode of The S-Ranks That I Raised webtoon.

Eight years after the dungeons first appeared, we see their impacts on humankind, and specifically on Han Yoojin.

Summary
On a television program recorded at some point after the first dungeon shock, Choi Yoomi shows off her usage of the system and explains how she Awakened as an E-rank with a plant manipulation skill. The program host and Choi Yoomi discuss how she has since joined an small guild of Hunters (of which Han Yoojin is implied to also be a member). Guilds such as hers periodically raid dungeons in order to obtain and sell dungeon byproducts such as magic stones. Magic stones in particular have become powerful energy sources that are in high demand and sell for astronomical prices, allowing high-rankers in particular to become rich and powerful.

One such high-ranker is the S-ranked Han Yoohyun; the program host quickly goes over his Awakening at a young age after a childhood growing up poor and orphaned, and explains that he has since become the leader of Haeyeon Guild, and at age 25, is successful beyond belief. Choi Yoomi laughingly notes that she cannot reach the same levels of success since she's an E-rank, but hopes to at least pay off her younger sibling's school fees. Unfortunately, since the airing of the program, Choi Yoomi passed away in a dungeon attack; Han Yoojin is seen taking this loss hard, drinking to cope.

An unspecified amount of time later, Han Yoojin—now using crutches due to past injuries to his leg—is preparing for a dungeon raid alongside a new guild, whose members realize his identity and immediately become critical of his presence, pointing out how he's a bad omen whose attack parties have been entirely killed off multiple times, with him as the sole survivor. In addition, they talk about how his brother seems to have shunned him; this crosses the line, and Han Yoojin immediately snaps at them, only for them to lash out in return, scolding him for acting above his station despite being a weak F-rank. The guild leader Lim Seokwoo uses one of his skills to ease Yoojin's aggravated leg injury, and Yoojin gratefully uses his Caregiver title's keyword on him to secretly buff him. Pleased at the keyword disguised as praise, Lim Seokwoo goes to scold the rowdy guild members. Yoojin confirms that his skill has been applied successfully before following the guild members to enter the dungeon.
