“I'm the God of Combat, the one who oversees every fight within Lucid Adventure”
― God of Combat[source]
God of Combat,[6][3] also known as "The First God",[4] was one of the Four Gods created by Han Gun-Jae to manage Lucid Adventure.[7] The NPC of Duels served as his underlings. He was a fun and playful god that hosted the annual Combat Tournament for his own amusement.[3] He was fond of humans and was entertained by them over the course of The Combat Tournaments.
At some point in the past, the sword God of Combat used in a fight against Ligos was lodged at the side of the Temple of the Combat God.[8][6] This served as an inspiration to Combat Tournament fans and potential participants.[6] In the last ever Combat Tournament, he pretended to be a waiter and got the contestants that passed the Preliminary Round severely intoxicated.[3] He stopped Light from apprehending Hardcore Leveling Warrior during the Subjugation Round.[9]
Along with the other Gods, God of Combat responded to the dying Han Gun-Jae's final call in Yopy Land to discuss Han Gun-Jae's successor.[10] God of Combat suggested that each of the Gods back a team in the Combat Round, with the winner becoming Han Gun-Jae's successor as the next Chief God.[11][12] God of Combat didn't actually pick a team as he didn't want to be the next God of Gods. He slightly tampered with Dark's Godcha draw, which helped Dark acquire Darkist's black magic book.[13]
After Hardcore Leveling Warrior was killed by Sad Smile's contractor just before the Combat Round Final,[14] God of Combat intervened and gave Hardcore Leveling Warrior an item that let Hardcore Leveling Warrior return immediately to participate in the Combat Round final.[15]
After the conclusion of the Combat Tournament and the death of Han Gun-Jae, Zero reappeared and attempted to destroy Lucid Adventure.[16] God of Combat and the Three Gods of Space-Time engaged in a fierce battle with Zero,[17] which resulted in the death of two of the Gods of Space-Time.[18] With the aid of the users, God of Combat and the last God of Space-Time managed to hold off Zero in a stalemate.[19] Unfortunately, God of Combat was killed when Yopy used the last power of Han Gun-Jae to wipe out him and the remaining gods. This led to a rewriting of the rules of Lucid Adventure.[5]
After Lucid Adventure was merged with the real world,[20] God of Combat was summoned by God, and became a 'Child of God'.[1] He was given the name "Dean".[21] He joined the death game hoping to reunite with Yopy and Hardcore Leveling Warrior.[22]

Translation Notes
WEBTOON Translations
Main Article: WEBTOON Translation
Character Name
전투의 신 was translated as Combat God in Hardcore Leveling Warrior Season 1 Episode 22 and was translated as God of War since Hardcore Leveling Warrior Season 1 Episode 108 by WEBTOON.
전투 literally means "combat; battle; fight".
의(之) means the suffix -’s. It Indicates that the previous word has possession of the next one. It functions like the English suffix “’s”, or like the word “of” with the position of possessor and possessee switched. So basically "X's ball" or "Ball of X".
신 means "god; deity".
The literal translation of 전투의 신 is God of Combat, God of Battle or God of Fighting.
Hatigarm Scans translated 전투의 신 as War Deity
The actual Korean for 'God of War' is 전쟁의 신, 갓 오브 워 or even 투신 (鬪神).
System Given Name
Curiously during the Siege Round, 'The System' called him 투기신 which means "Combat God; Martial Arts God; Martial God" in Hardcore Leveling Warrior Season 1 Episode 45, when it gave Hardcore Leveling Warrior the Hunt the Mysterious Murderer quest.
투기 can mean either 鬪技 or 鬪气.
鬪技 is used for when to people fight against each other and it is also the short form of 格鬪技, which means "combat sports; martial arts".
鬪气. means "fighting Qi; fighting energy" so is less appropriate to this.

Gender Mistranslation
In Hardcore Leveling Warrior Season 1 Episode 121, Dacon said "신이시여". WEBTOON incorrectly translated this as "My Goddess". Depending on the context it can mean "My God; Oh My God; My Lord". In this context it means "My God". Goddess in Korean means "여신". This has led to people thinking God of Combat was female.
