Prince

Prince (프린스, Peurinseu; "Prince") is a Regular and the son of the president of the company Lurker Cash. He is introduced in Ch. 85 where he is shown exiting the 4th elevator after passing the Survival Round Test along with Yeon, Kim Lurker, Rapdevil and another three unnamed regulars from the Da-an Tribe.

He is most likely either a Fisherman or a Light Bearer.

Personality
He follows the classic example of the "rich jerk" character, behaving similarly to Koon but in a far less modest fashion. He prefers to use minions to do his work for him, but it is shown from his score on the World's Strongest Regular test that he himself posseses a way to draw apon a huge amount of Shinsoo. Since he scored the highest over all of his minions, he believes that he is stronger then all of them.





The Strongest Regular
Prince is first seen entering the second part of the test in 20F with his arm around Yeon Yihwa, who looked very annoyed by it. His father's employee, Kim Lurker, told Wangnan that Prince was a strong Regular who also managed to sneak in with hired help into the test in order to increase his chances of passing. He mocked the Regulars doing poorly on the World's Strongest Regular Contest and bet Yihwa to the first place winner in order to make things more interesting. Disgusted by this, Horyang repremanded him and attempted to teach him a lesson by scoring first place in the test but was beaten by the hired help, Rapdevil. He was surpised by Yihwa's score, since it looked like she stumbled into the machine.

When he scored first place, he told Yihwa to be a good girl and stay by his side. Yihwa demands a retry in anger, but was refused. Akraptor makes fun of them both to inform them that the strongest Regular in this floor was Viole. Prince was shocked by Viole's score and looked on disbelievingly. When it was announced that the other seven participants would be chosen by Viole, he argued with the test examiner Love and was told to shut up. He grumbles angrily about this. When Wangnan begged Viole to pick him, Prince mocks him and sneers at his lack of pride, stating how it would be better to just retake it than being forced to beg. Kim Lurker looks at him silently for this, not informing him that Wangnan would die otherwise.

When Viole announced that he would not pick any teammates and that he lived for the death of Zahard, Prince frowns and looks seriously at him. Later on it is shown that he was in the resting area for Regulars who wished to participate in the game Love said he would think of for Viole. When he was about to bathe, he sneered at Wangnan and decided to go to the other bathing area. Wangnan smirks at him and warns him not to, saying: "Look at who's over there."

Prince is surprised to find Viole in the other bath pool, but decides to go there anyway. Kim Lurker tries to convince him not to but Prince calls him a coward. Prince and his hired help enter the same bath pool as Viole. He starts off by asking Viole what his name is, to which Viole replies. He goes on to say that Viole isn't anything special just because he scored first in the previous test. When Viole ignores him, he becomes enraged and shouts how Yeon belongs to him and he would get her back. Viole continues to ignore him in order to ask Rapdevil something. Prince is angered by the dimissal. He follows Viole to his room, where he finds out that Yeon and him were sharing a room. After being insulted by Yeon, he yells that he would get back at them both.

The Untrustworthy Room Test
During the Untrustworthy Room Test, he immediately targets Baam. He manages to take the remote from Baam, but is easily frozen. He sets off after Baam again in a rage, but is stopped by Lurker who informs him of Rapdevil's death. Prince blames Baam and swears vengeance. In his anger he is easily tricked by two regulars and cuases Yeon to be possessed. He flees back to his room, where he finds out that Rapdevil is alive and that he was betrayed by Lurker. Rapdevil easily disables him, stating that real fights are not like punching a machine.

He gets beaten up by Rapdevil. Lurker shows up with a Da'an and the possessed Yeon to gloat. When Horyang and Viole take out the aggressors outside the door, Prince takes the chance to open the door for them. Horyang stays to fight Rapdevil.

Prince is later seen to have developed a boy-crush on Horyang after the latter saved him while displaying bad-ass strength. From a pocket broadcasting the events in Viole's room, Prince finds out that his father had spent all his money in order to rig the test, making it easier for Prince to pass. This information, combined with the knowledge of the lives his father ruined in is name, leaves him speechless. He is later shown celebrating with the others for passing the test.

FUG
Touched by his father's sacrifices and contributions, he resolves to work harder. He stays with the team he passed the 20F with and is seen exercising with MiSeng.
