In a world where hunters, humans with magical abilities, must face deadly monsters to protect humanity from total annihilation, a notoriously weak hunter named Sung Jinwoo finds himself in a seemingly never-ending fight for survival.
One day, after narrowly escaping an incredibly powerful double dungeon that nearly wipes out his entire team, a mysterious program called the System chooses him as its sole player and, in return, grants him the extremely rare ability to increase his strength, possibly beyond any known limit.
Jinwoo then embarks on a journey where he faces all kinds of enemies, both human and monster, to discover the secrets of the dungeons and the true source of his powers.
The anime is based on the manhwa ” Solo Leveling “, also known as “Only I Level Up ” (Korean: 나혼자만 레벨업 – i.e. Only I Level Up in Brazilian Portuguese), a South Korean web novel written by Chugong and illustrated by Gee So-Lyung . The work was serialized on the digital comics and fiction platform KakaoPage from July 25, 2016, and later published in full by D&C Medi under the Papyrus label on November 4, 2016.
