A title Yoojin earned by raising a born S-ranker. To get someone in his custody, he has to tell them the keywords "I love you" or otherwise communicate that sentiment, and targets can easily not respond to or accept it. With people he isn't already taking care of, it usually takes more than one try. Once a target is aware of the skill's effects, the title and associated skills become ineffective on them.

Successfully applying the keywords and getting custody will make certain skills, including the ones listed below, Stern Mother Hen Drill Sergeant, and other caretaking skills, easier for Yoojin to use on the target. That is, targets may not need to explicitly consent to each use of his other custodial skills. Another side effect of gaining custody over someone is that they will associate him with the best caretaker they've had, for good or for ill, for a month or two.

Upon opening the skill window, Yoojin can see the names and ranks of those under his custody. If someone under his custody dies, they will disappear from the list. The webtoon depicts this list as a cutesy photo album only visible to Yoojin.

Using Perfect Custodian's keywords, Yoojin doubles the growth rate (i.e., EXP gain rate) of a target in his custody for three days. Yoojin can apply this in a focused way to a single skill's growth, which makes it possible to acquire specific new skills faster or even unlock optimized initial skills the target didn't receive upon Awakening.

Has a thirty-day cooldown period before Yoojin can reapply it to the same target.

When using Perfect Custodian's keywords on one or more targets in front of five or more people, the targets' abilities are boosted by X%, where X is the number of people who heard and understood the keyword. The highest possible boost is +100%. The skill lasts for thirty minutes and has a cooldown time of 10 days. The skill will not work when either the targets or the surrounding people are aware of the keywords' effect.

When applied to people, this skill does not actually show Yoojin their current stats, but rather their potential. This appears to him as a status window with their name and species, potential stat ranks, and the best skills they might Awaken/might have Awakened with (and whether they're still locked or not). Other skills they can acquire later are not shown, nor are HP/mana/current status effects. The window looks slightly different when applied to monsters, but contains essentially the same information.

Any of the above information can be blurred or otherwise made unavailable to him. There are also canon cases of powerful and perceptive beings noticing him using this skill and stopping him.

The skill can trigger an optimized Awakening for people under Yoojin's custody. This particular effect has a 30-day cooldown period per target.

When a being in Yoojin's custody dies, this skill automatically transfers the deceased's skills and abilities/stats at double the potency to Yoojin. He also receives some of the deceased's memories, specifically those regarding their feelings and experiences with him, especially positive ones. The more memories the deceased has of him, the faster Yoojin can adjust to the transferred stats and skills.

The doubled stats and skills remain in effect for seven days, but Yoojin retains the memories forever.

A passive resistance skill. Grants complete immunity to poisons of less than Legendary rank. It also has the side effect of nullifying the effects of alcohol, medicines, etc. This nullification/immunity effect automatically extends to anyone in close contact (i.e., hugging range). Yoojin can toggle the skill on or off, but can't change its strength, the range of effect, or which substances it applies to.

A passive resistance skill. Grants complete immunity to curses of less than Legendary rank and nullifies curses already in effect. This nullification/immunity effect automatically extends to people and targets in close contact (i.e., hugging range). Yoojin can toggle the skill on or off, but can't change its strength, the range of effect, or which curses it might apply to.

A passive resistance skill. Makes the user immune to feeling strong fear or intimidation from sources of less than Legendary rank. This immunity automatically extends to anyone in close contact (i.e., hugging range). It also increases mental fortitude and generally dulls physical anxiety responses. Yoojin can toggle the skill on or off, but can't change its strength, the range of effect, or which scary things it applies to.

A passive buff. Automatically doubles all skill effects when fighting against Rauchitas and similar types of dragons (i.e., venomous curse dragons). Similar types of dragons (and those with abilities that make them "like" venomous curse dragons) may sense him as a more powerful venomous curse dragon than them.

Earned by raiding an F-rank dungeon alone as an F-rank Hunter with three items or fewer. Doubles the item rewards the titleholder receives from dungeon raids.

Earned by raiding an E-rank dungeon alone as an F-rank Hunter with five items or fewer. Doubles the effectiveness of the titleholder's offensive skills. ...Of which Yoojin has none.

Earned by raiding a D-rank dungeon alone as an F-rank Hunter with five items or fewer.

When activated, this skill makes the user difficult to perceive, although not invisible, even when actively sought.

The user can share a skill or title of S-rank or lower (such as Veteran F-ranker, which doubles the strength of offensive skills) with one subject in physical contact. Has a fifteen-day cooldown before he can use it again.

These skills suck and he never uses them, but I'm including them for completion's sake.

DEX BOOST (E): Increases a target's DEX stat by 5% for 30 minutes, effective upon activation. Similar and identical skills cannot be stacked.

INT BOOST (E): Increases a target's INT stat by 5% for 30 minutes, effective upon activation. Similar and identical skills cannot be stacked.

A.k.a. the "Teacher" skill. Creates a mental/sensory link between Yoojin and a target or group of designated targets. Once linked, Yoojin can connect specific targets to one another and share their movements and sensory perceptions. Yoojin experiences what the connected targets feel to the point where he can predict what they're about to say; however, actual thoughts, emotions, and even pain don't come through unless he digs in deep. Meanwhile, he acts as a filter for the connected targets, so they receive only the information he allows through.

Connections between any given pair of designated targets can be one-way or two-way; that is, if he successfully uses the Drill Sergeant skill on an enemy, he can transmit the enemy's senses and movements to connected allies without giving the enemy any such information.

Due to Yoojin's low stat rank, this skill requires the target's consent. If a target rejects the skill, he's hit with painful backlash. The more people he links up and the more powerful they are, the more of a toll it takes on him, too. Overuse of this skill often drains him to the point of blacking out.

The Drill Sergeant skill seems to have some connection to his ability to host and manipulate mental landscapes.

Allows Yoojin to draw a target into a shared mental landscape (or mindscape; I use the terms interchangeably) where they can interact freely, bound only by the limits of imagination and experience. That is to say, anyone in the mindscape can do anything their minds can imagine in sufficient detail--usually, recreating experiences they've actually had. Naturally, this means Yoojin can use skills he's "experienced" through the Stern Mother Hen Drill Sergeant skill.

Both Yoojin and the target can influence what shape the mindscape takes, drawing on locations in their memories. Yoojin and those with good mental skills can also set other parameters, such as whether or not items can be imagined into the mindscape.

Memories and sensations experienced in this mental landscape feel real, but damage/injury does not persist. The mindscape can also be used to dig up or reorganize someone's memories, which will feel like reliving rather than remembering them. Yoojin can even target himself with it to evoke his memories in this fashion.

Due to Yoojin's low stat rank, both activation AND deactivation of the mindscape require the target's consent; all parties in the mindscape must agree to leave before the skill (if it is a skill) will release. While in the mindscape, Yoojin's and the target's bodies in the real world will fall unconscious. Hosting the mindscape takes a lot of Yoojin's mana, and using it on more than one other being or bringing in something too strong for him to handle will cause him serious backlash, knocking him out at minimum and inducing fever and severe sensory loss for days at graver stages.

As of ch. 413 of the webnovel, I'm still not entirely clear whether or not the mindscape is an extension of Yoojin's Drill Sergeant skill, a skill he learned/stole from a transcendent via the Drill Sergeant skill, or something he somehow inherited from that transcendent. Does it even count as a skill, as defined by the system? I have no dingdang idea.

Allows the user to calm a target by patting them. This skill gets stronger the more the target trusts the user, with the potential to work on highly-trusting targets even when they're actively trying to resist its effects.

Allows the user to make a target fall asleep by coaxing them to rest. Yoojin tends to do this by singing a lullaby. The skill is more effective the more the target trusts the user, with the potential to work on highly-trusting targets even when they're actively trying to resist its effects.

Opting into one of Yoojin's skills? Just tell me which one(s) here.

From the back of his neck to about his waist, Yoojin's spine has been visibly inscribed with... an inscription... that improves his sensitivity to mana and fine control over magic. I don't have a detailed description of what this looks or feels like to the touch, but based on the process involved in getting it, it's definitely more than a tattoo.

Unfortunately for Yoojin, the mana sensitivity is way more powerful than his F-rank body can handle, to the point that simply existing in a space with mana moving about (which is not just part of magic, but a fundamental component of life and the construction of the universe) leaves Yoojin a screaming, crumpled, non-functional mess on the floor. Good job subjecting yourself to excruciating pain with no off button, stupid!

Fortunately for Yoojin, there are canonical nerfs in place. Depending on his canonpoint, either someone else has applied magic to numb or block the inscription, or a liquid metal "item" is in place to adjust the intensity of what he can feel. In a pinch, when he really needs that extra fine control or sensitivity, he can deactivate that item with something else in his inventory. He'll just suffer for it.

Tl;dr: Yoojin generally has some ability to sense the movement of mana (i.e., magic) and can manipulate his own mana a bit, albeit with difficulty. He can ramp this sensitivity up to 500 if we ever feel like being DRAMATIC.

All Awakened people in Yoojin's world can access their own personal hammerspace inventory. Only the inventory's owner can access said inventory, and only items from dungeons or made entirely from dungeon materials can be stored in it. Inventory space is not unlimited, and how much space each person has depends on their own size and abilities.

When canonsmashing in memes and such, I sometimes let Yoojin store items of supernatural but non-dungeon origins in his inventory for convenience's sake.

CW: Self-harm, body horror, pseudo-pregnancy

Yoojin can create monsters--though perhaps "magical creatures" is more accurate, as he's only created intelligent humanoids with particular non-human features through this method, as far as I know--by cutting himself open, inserting a couple mana stones inside himself, linking them together with his Stern Mother Hen Drill Sergeant skill, and, like, incubating them in there with his own mana. Other components have included memory fragments and blood from other people. This results in the being created resembling the other donor and/or there being some link between them.

The likelihood of my ever employing this technique of his in RP is SUPER low, but it's worth knowing Yoojin can and has done this. In particular, a fairy dragon called Changeling/Han Gyeol that Yoojin birthed with this method may come up in threads.
