Daniel (다니엘 Da-ni-el) is a secondary character and major antagonist for most of Questism. He was ranked No. 2 at North Gangbuk High, and worked under Yun Jo while acting as a double agent, deliberately keeping Haru Seong out of sight for safety.
Daniel is one of the few characters in Questism that is aware of the supernatural powers possessed by the System users, first hinted when he recognized there was something going on with Suhyeon's Cloud posing as Haru. He also notices Hajun Gu starting to Awaken during their fight, and quickly knocks him out to prevent the process. Possibly related, Daniel is also able to speak through pure willpower while under the effects of Let's Make A Deal.
Appearance
Daniel is taller than most and shares the same reddish-brown hair color as Haru, as well as similar eyebrows/lashes. His hair is mostly roughly pushed back, with two distinctively styled strands hanging down just between his reddish-purple eyes.
History
Besides fighting Hajun in Middle School, not much is known about Daniel's life before joining North Gangbuk. Throughout the series, Daniel has always been ranked No. 2, both under Yun and Sechan Kang, and is the only member besides Jikwang Hong to keep their original rank in both regimes. Daniel has always been close friends with Sechan and Haru, with both he and the former developing a crush on the latter. For these reasons, Daniel eviscerated Haru in a 1-on-1 fight once he learned of Yun's plan to soul-farm fighters with high potential, ensuring Haru remained low-ranked and out of Yun's vision.
While fighting for Yun Jo, Daniel was consistently the most powerful force for Suhyeon and the rest of the cast to deal with, only being recalled by restrictions placed on him by Yun via the Challenger Card.

Stats
Theme Music
Trivia
- Daniel's stats were the first that Suhyeon failed to view after his Peek At You card had been upgraded.
Notes
- ↑ This technique was likely learned through the System via Yun, as shown in Episode 135, when Daniel uses it and a purple System message appears saying, "Daniel used Aikido." The message interjects during Yun’s monologue as he views the fight through his Camera card. The framing of his view matches exactly the sequence seen in real time when the System message pops up, reinforcing the idea that the scene should be taken from Yun's perspective as the granter of Daniel's abilities.
