Solo Leveling Synopsis

Ever since a portal appeared that connects our world to another full of monsters and creatures of all kinds, some people have acquired powers and the ability to hunt them, earning the name of hunters. The protagonist, Sung Jin-woo, is the weakest of the E-rank hunters and barely stronger than a normal human. He is nicknamed “the weakest” by his fellow hunters. One day, he and others are trapped in an extremely dangerous dungeon, and only a few survive and manage to escape. Sung Jin-woo himself barely survives and is the only one who completes all the tests in this dungeon, becoming a “player”, now able to see an interface that shows him quests, statistics, inventory, shops and levels. Will he be able to level up to become the most powerful hunter?
