Solo Leveling follows the story of Sung Jinwoo, the world’s weakest hunter, whose life takes a dramatic turn after a near-death experience in a high-ranking dungeon. Jinwoo, constantly risking his life in dangerous dungeons despite his weak abilities, is brutally slaughtered by powerful monsters during a mission gone wrong. However, instead of dying, he awakens to find that he has been given a mysterious power known as “the System”—a program visible only to him that allows him to level up and grow stronger with every challenge he faces.

Now, armed with the ability to grow exponentially in strength, Jinwoo sets out to uncover the truth behind his newfound powers and the mysteries surrounding the dungeons and monsters that nearly claimed his life. No longer the weakest, he is determined to rise to the top and uncover the secrets of the System and the dungeon that changed his fate forever.
