The Story Behind Solo Leveling
As a mysterious portal connecting our world to another filled with creatures and monsters of all kinds appeared, several people acquired powers, and with them the ability to hunt such aberrations, thus earning the title of “hunters.”
Our protagonist, Sing Jin-woo, was the weakest of the E-rank hunters, barely stronger than a normal human, and thus received the nickname “the weakest” given by his fellow hunters. One day, he and others were trapped in an extremely dangerous dungeon, to the point that only a few managed to survive and escape. Jin-woo, one of the survivors, managed to complete all the trials in that dungeon, becoming the only “player” of a mysterious program called the “System“, and since then he has been able to see an interface showing him missions, statistics, inventory, stores, and levels, also granting him the ability to level up without a maximum limit…
From that moment, Jin-woo began an epic journey through which he would try to “level up” to become the most powerful hunter in the world.
If you’ve made it this far, the obligatory question is unnecessary, and we know for sure that you, like us, are looking forward to the arrival of Solo Leveling.
Do you think you would stand a chance against Ashborn? Would you be a good “player” if the “System” chose you? Tell us your expectations in the comments!
Go forth, hunter!
