Solo Leveling is set in a world where gates connect Earth to dungeons full of monsters, and people with powers, called hunters, are ranked from E to S. It follows Sung Jinwoo, the weakest hunter of all mankind, who after a deadly dungeon starts receiving quests from a mysterious System and leveling up on his own.
