What is Solo Leveling about?
In a world overrun by deadly monsters, hunters with supernatural abilities are humanity’s last line of defense. Among them is Sung Jinwoo, a notoriously weak hunter who miraculously survives a deadly double dungeon.
This near-death experience unlocks a unique ability: the power to level up. Unlike other hunters with static abilities, Sung Jinwoo can continually grow stronger, setting him on a path of unprecedented power.
However, this newfound strength comes with a dark secret. Sung Jinwoo inherits the mantle of the Shadow Monarch, an immortal necromancer with absolute control over the dead. While other Monarchs seek to dominate humanity, Sung Jinwoo fights to protect them, facing not only monstrous threats but also the machinations of his fellow Monarchs.
