2. What is the purpose of Solo Leveling?

Web novelist Chu-gong and artist Jang “Dubu” Sang-rak of Redice Studio collaborated on the Korean series Solo Leveling. The story takes place in modern day Korea and incorporates elements of massively multiplayer online role-playing games.

Magically adept humans can take up the role of hunters, venturing through alternate dimensions to do battle with monsters and powerful bosses. Once the dungeon behind the gate is cleared, the hunting party can use their loot in the real world.

The protagonist, Sung Jin-woo, is widely regarded as the most feeble hunter in history. In spite of the stigma attached to him, he still takes part in dungeon raids to provide for his sick mother.

During a double dungeon run, Jin-woo decides to sacrifice himself so that his party can successfully exit both levels. When the hunter is on the verge of death, he unwittingly fulfills a hidden quest, transforming into a “player,” a special role that grants him the ability to independently complete quests and level up using a game-like system.

Monsters from other dimensions have begun to appear through rifts in space-time, but hunters have learned to close them. Even though Sung Jin Woo is at the very bottom of the hunting hierarchy, he is the only one who, thanks to his participation in a Dungeon quest, can perceive real-world quests in the same way that a video game does.

The first step on his path to becoming the world’s greatest hunter and restoring peace to Earth has been taken.
