Summary[]
Kim Gigyu is the titular main protagonist of the Korean Novel/Manhwa The Player That Can't Level Up.
Gigyu suffered from life troubles from a young age. His father died before he turned 18, where his mother got sick, leaving him and his sister to fend off for themselves. Gigyu struggled with jobs here and there for the sake of curing his mother, letting his sister live in more safe areas and paying his loans for the medication of his mother, until he was accepted to being a Player, a special individual that can raid Gates that lead to alternate realities with a game-like system, which appeared around 25 years ago.
Sadly, however, Gigyu was plagued with the inability to level up, which caused him to have the nickname of "The Player That Can't Level Up". However, he was able to break through his weaknesses by gaining access to Egos, sentient beings that grant their users power upon being given a certain shape. And thus begun the adventure of Gigyu to the top.

Range: Standard melee range. Dozens of meters with Elemental skills. Cross-Dimensional with Gate Crossing.
Standard Equipment:
- Lou: A demonic sword made from the Ego of the Demon King. The sword holds the ability to eat other beings and turn them into either Egos for Gigyu to use in battle or turn them to Ego Fragments that Gigyu can fuse with objects in order to form full Egos. It can also use the power of Death to corrode the existence of the opponent. After its evolution, Lou can now materialize and summon Egos that it absorbed after killing other beings. Similar to Brunheart, but the difference is that while Brunheart can summon monsters that Gigyu defeated and store them within a Gate, Lou can summon Egos that he killed, which were once lifeforms, be it monsters or humans and store them inside of it after devouring them using Cannabalism and turning them into Egos or Ego Fragments, where they can freely utilize their abilities that they previously had prior to their death, and be under the absolute command of Gigyu. Lou can also absorb both the blood and soul of the enemy following defeating it, increasing the power of both Gigyu and himself.
- Elle: A holy sword made from the Ego of the Ruler of The Holy Swords. The sword can utilize holy energy, seal incoming attacks with said holy energy and absorb other holy sword in order to strengthen itself, as well as get their abilities to itself for Gigyu to utilize. It holds a special ability, Kalleon, which allows Gigyu to survive attacks that can lead to instant death once in a battle. The ability will not be activated a 2nd time unless Gigyu finishes the battle with his opponent, where he is allowed to use it once again in another new battle. After her temporary death when she sacrificed herself to save Gigyu, Gigyu was able to resurrect her after learning the skill of Life, which allows him to manipulate life and resurrect the dead. Now, Elle is able to switch between her angel and sword forms at will or with the command of Gigyu. Much like her master, Elle is able to use the Life skill to manipulate life and resurrect the dead, as well as the Incarnation skill, which allows her to switch between her angel and sword forms.
- Brunheart: A chest plate armor that Gigyu obtained after defeating the Lich in the Tower. It allows Gigyu to absorb and redirect the accumulated energy of attacks that he sustained. It also gives Gigyu the ability to use Gates as storages, and even command the monsters in the Gates that he conquered.
- Hermes: A pair of white sneakers that contains an Ego that Gigyu bought from Hwang Jicheol. This Ego increases the speed of Gigyu for 5 minutes and allows for peak speed acceleration for 3 minutes.
- Rain: A necklace that contains an Ego that Gigyu bought from Hwang Jicheol. After defeating a Saberwolf monster in a dungeon, Gigyu infused the Ego Fragment of said monster into the necklace, allowing him to summon Rain as a saberwolf, which can use elemental skills like water, fire, darkness and presumably even more. Any attacks are ineffective whenever Rain is in elemental form. The necklace Ego allows Gigyu to also use elemental skills. Though it puts too much strain on his body should it be used in rapid succession. It also has the skill of Grevious Wounds, which Gigyu can utilize to negate healing factors from the likes of Rhodes, whose unique skill allows him to regenerate limbs within seconds.
- Oberon: A pair of gauntlets that contains an Ego that Gigyu bought from Hwang Jicheol. On the surface, they look like normal gauntlets, and are like normal black gloves when Gigyu uses Accessorize to hide their appearance, but in actuality, they have the ability to use the skill Force, a skill that temporarily increases strength for a single strike. Later on, Gigyu used the Demon Arts to bestow the Binding skill to it, allowing him to create restraints out of dark magic to restrain opponents with it.
Intelligence: Gifted Combatant
Weaknesses: Some Ego abilities have time limits and cooldown time.
