Episode 3

F-Rank (2) is the third episode of The S-Ranks That I Raised webtoon.

Han Yoojin and the rest of his current guild explore the inside of a D-rank dungeon, only to run into a boss monster none of them expected.

Summary
Inside the D-rank dungeon, the guild's Hunters attack monsters while Han Yoojin follows in their wake, mining for dungeon byproducts as they snatch up all the magic stones that the monsters leave behind. After a sharp reprimand from one Hunter ordering him to work faster, Yoojin grudgingly mines away, humming listlessly as he recalls his harsh life circumstances. He mourns the loss of his brother, who left home after Awakening, only to become the leader of the nation's strongest guild, Haeyeon, while Yoojin himself was away serving in the army. Yoojin also recalls how he gave all his money to an Awakening broker chasing the vain hope that he could Awaken and once again be by his brother's side, only to Awaken as an F-rank and be crucified by the media. In addition, Han Yoohyun personally scorned him and cut off contact as much as possible, barely even sending support when Yoojin was injured to the point of a permanent disability and spent time hospitalized.

Yoojin remembers Yoohyun's harsh words deriding him as useless and gives an empty smile, agreeing. He muses that the only reason he's made it this far was because of his title, Caregiver, and its skills. He explains in narration that his title allows him to influence others through the keyword "do your best", and once influenced, he can give a buff to their growth. However, the main reason he survived all the crises his various teams suffered was another one of the title's skills.

Before he can complete his explanation, however, he is interrupted by a notification from that very skill: Last Compensation, transferring double the abilities of Lim Seokwoo to him. Startled, Yoojin activates one of his skills and confirms that Last Compensation has been successfully activated. He stops mining and rushes, horrified, to the party's location, trying to figure out what could've harmed them in a dungeon as low a rank as D. As he runs, he finally explains Last Compensation's effects in full, noting that the condition for its activation is the death of a keyword-influenced target.

Arriving at their location, he finds all but one member of the party brutally massacred, while the last member has been snatched up by the three-headed dragon king Rauchitas. Petrified, Yoojin can only watch as the Hunter frantically screams that the situation is Yoojin's fault before being devoured by the curse and poison dragon. Having finished off everyone else, the Rauchitas turns its attention to the frozen Yoojin.
