Solo Leveling (Korean: 나 혼자만 레벨업, RR: Na Honja-man Rebeleop) is the definitive Power Fantasy and Urban Fantasy manhwa that ignited the global "Hunter" and "System" webtoon craze. Originally a web novel by Chugong, it was adapted into a legendary manhwa illustrated by the late Dubu (Jang Sung-rak) of Redice Studio. It is world-renowned for its god-tier digital art, sleek character designs, and the ultimate "zero-to-hero" journey.

The story is set in a modern world where "Gates" connect our reality to monster-filled dungeons. Humans who gained supernatural powers to fight these monsters are known as Hunters. The protagonist, Sung Jin-woo, is infamously known as the "World’s Weakest Hunter" (E-Rank), barely surviving the lowest-level raids. During a double-dungeon incident that slaughters his party, Jin-woo is chosen by a mysterious "System" to become its sole "Player." While every other hunter is stuck with the rank they were born with, Jin-woo gains the unique ability to level up by completing quests, eventually transforming into the Shadow Monarch—an existence capable of challenging the gods themselves.
