The Weak Hunter That Levels Up
Solo Leveling is set in a reality in which some people are born with supernatural abilities. These special people are called “hunters” and they gather to enter weird portals that started spawning around the Earth years prior to the story. Inside those portals, they defeat monsters in order to get rewards.
Hunters are ranked by power levels, but there is a catch: a hunter is born with their levels, people do not power up. And Sung Jinwoo is one of the weakest hunters ever, to the point that some friends ask themselves why he still insists on hunting, since he has a low survival chance. But one day, he enters a mysterious portal and ends up being the only survivor. There, after a shocking experience, he was granted the ability to level up.
