Jin Seok-Young, known as Stone in Lucid Adventure, is a player in Lucid Adventure. He was the Vice Guild Master of Elixir Plant Guild, and was ranked first in the Lucid Ball Ranking System. He was a subordinate of the Dragon of Light before her death at the hands of No Name.

Jin Seok-Young was an ordinary Lucid Adventure player that suffered a serious car accident which left him permanently blind, paralyzed, bed-ridden and in constant pain. At some point, Stone was forcibly connected to the game by the Dragon of Light, who asked him to save Lucid Adventure from its impending doom by becoming a Hero. He agreed to Dragon of Light's request in exchange for meeting his mom after he completed his task. He was placed in the Elixir Plant guild by the Dragon of Light to aid his growth. Stone quickly rose to prominence in the game. During the two year time skip, he defeated Dark in a ranked match. Sometime later, he became and All-Stat and the first ranked player in the Lucid Ball Ranking System. He was constantly compared to the former first ranker Hardcore Levelling Warrior was a source of frustration to him.

Alongside his Guild Master, Principal, Stone ended the war between Giga and Yopy Land and truce was formed between the 4 major guilds. He attended the Guild Summit and was present during the battle between Heart Heater and Xiang Yu. During the start of The Great War, Stone subjugated Nightmares by himself. He rejected The Crow's attempt to join Nightmare. Stone answered Kongming's quest issue and engaged the Demon King Ge Des in battle. Stone critically injured the Demon King and forced the latter to accept Nightmare. Stone eventually defeated Ge Des after using his body as a medium to summon Haru.

Along with the Primordial Dragons and Heart Heater, Stone was transferred to the Demon Realm by Choco Bibi's space-time magic in order to confront the Demon King - Hardcore Leveling Warrior. Stone and Hardcore Leveling Warrior eventually faced off in a fierce one on one battle, which ended in Stone's defeat. Stone is carried away by the Dragon of Light's children as the Dragon of Light faced off against No Name.

When the Dragon of Light is resurrected as an undead via Nightmare by Han Gun-Ho, Stone, who is subordinated to the Dragon of Light, is brainwashed into attacking the unconscious Hardcore Leveling Warrior, but Stone is stopped from killing Hardcore Leveling Warrior by Choco Bibi and the Grass Roots Guild. Stone is eventually defeated and then freed from Nighmare's mind control by the awakened Hardcore Leveling Warrior. Hardcore Leveling Warrior then used Perfect Cure to heal Stone in the real world, before logging Stone out of Lucid Adventure, where he awakens to his awaiting mother.

In the reset timeline, Jin Seok-Young is an esports player. His ROR player ID is "Stone" and he is a member of the White Dragons esports team. Jin Seok-Young reached the semifinals of the ROR World Championships with White Dragons, but they were eventually knocked out. Hardcore Leveling Warrior is his role-model.

(By Narrator): "Stone became the hero of the Dragon of Light's sword which was cut out of the Dragon's bone for the final battle. | Just by reaching that level, his specs already far exceeded all users, but what topped up his power was the the the personal attribute of Elixir Plant's Guild Master Principal, Moksha (解脫) (State of Transcendence) ."

(Dragon of Light): "If this goes wrong, The only hope...'the one who sees the end' that I created... Stone, His pride must be maintained. For the right ending...!!"

Notes & Trivia

• Stone was first mentioned in Season 2 Episode 14. His silhouette was first seen in Season 2 Episode 14. He made his full debut in Season 2 Episode 31, in which his game name was also revealed. His real name was revealed by The System when he was healed by Hardcore Leveling Warrior's Perfect Cure in Season 2 Episode 123. His made his real world debut in Season 2 Episode 133.
• After Stone's backstory was revealed in Season 2 Episode 77, many fans said that Stone has the motif of a typical Isekai protagonist who is usually forcefully summoned to another world and asked to save said world.
• He is the only player to defeat Dark in the 'New Ranked System'.
• Stone's class was revealed to be Hero in Season 2 Episode 75.
• The trainers that Stone wears is a homage to the 'Air Jordan 1 High Travis Scott' shoe. Kim Sehoon is a massive fan of trainers.
• Before he was hit by a car and put in a coma, Stone was already a Lucid Adventure player as he noticed the log-in sound from the game when the Dragon of Light summoned him.
• Stone is the second character in a coma that is seen playing Lucid Adventure. The first was Han Gun-Jae.
• Based on the information revealed about Stone's situation in the real world in Season 2 Episode 77, some Korean fans have a theory that Stone is Lila's son. In Episode 176, it was revealed by Chairman Kim that Lila needed money for her child's surgery.
• Some Korean fans believed that Stone's personal attribute was Yeon Gaesomun, a powerful military dictator in the waning days of the Goguryeo Kingdom, which was one of the Three Kingdoms of ancient Korea. Many Korean scholars today echo Shin Chaeho and praise Yeon Gaesomun as a soldier-statesman without equal in Korean history. Tang and Silla sources portrayed Yeon Gaesomun as a brutal and arrogant dictator who carried five swords at a time, and had men prostrate themselves so that he could use their backs to mount and dismount his horse.
• Because of Stone's ability to use multiple swords at the same time, fans compared him to a few other popular manga characters such as Haru Glory, the main character from Rave Master and Roronoa Zoro from One Piece.
• Stone's combat power may exceed the combat power of the rank no.1 Hardcore Leveling Warrior with three warrior swords equipped, but this was never explicitly stated in the webtoon.
• Stone's personal attribute was never explicitly stated in the webtoon. Season 2 Episode 77 was titled "Stone's Personal Attribute Unleashed", so there are several theories as to what the personal attribute was based on that episode.
  • Some believe that Stone's personal attribute is the Advent of Haru because it occurred in Season 2 Episode 77.
  • Some believe that it is the Hero's Emblem because when the Dragon of Light told Stone that she would grant him his personal attribute that would make him the strongest Hero, Stone was immediately marked with Hero's Emblem.
  • Until the author explicitly states Stone's personal attribute, it will be left as "???" to avoid speculation.
• Despite Han Gun-Jae telling Dragon of Light that it was Vinjure that would identify "The Ones Who See the End", Dragon of Light said that Stone was in fact "The One who sees the end" that she will create during her battle with No Name. Dragon of Light charged her children with protecting Stone so he could accomplish this task. Seeing that Stone was never mentioned by Han Gun-Jae or The Witch as one of the "Ones who will See the end", he has not been included in the list of The Ones Who See the End along with Hardcore Leveling Warrior, Sora and Dark.
