The [[protagonist]] of the story, Sung Jin-woo, is a member of the lowest rank of hunters and is the weakest hunter in all of South Korea, barely stronger than a normal human. One day, he and some other hunters find themselves trapped in an extremely dangerous and rare dual dungeon, and only a few of them survive and manage to escape. Sung Jin-woo himself "dies" but manages to complete all the trials in this dungeon. He then wakes up in a hospital and finds he has turned into a reawakened "player" who can now see an interface showing him quests, stats, inventory, store, and levels, along with the unique ability to grow exponentially stronger. Sung Jin-Woo begins on a quest to become the strongest hunter in the world and uncover the mystery of the world of monsters. == Characters == * Sung Jin Woo ({{Korean|hangul=성진우 |rr=Seong Jin-U}}) (Protagonist) * Cha Hae In ({{Korean|hangul=차해인 |rr=Cha Haein}}) * Yoo Jin-Ho ({{Korean|hangul=유진호 |rr=Yu Jinho}}) * Sung Jin Ah ({{Korean|hangul=성진아 |rr=Seong Jin-A}}) * Sung Il Hwan ({{Korean|hangul=성일환 |rr=Seong Ilhwan}}) * Adam White ({{Korean|hangul=애덤 화이트 |rr=AEdeom Hwaiteu}}) * David Brennon ({{Korean|hangul=데이비드 브레넌|rr=Deibideu Beuleneon}}) * Lee Ju-Hee ({{Korean|hangul=이주희 |rr=I Juhui}}) * Liu Zhigang ({{Korean|hangul=류즈캉 |rr=Lyu Jeukang}}) * Laura ({{Korean|hangul=로라 |rr=Lola}}) * Norma Sellner ({{Korean|hangul=노마 셀너 |rr=Noma Selneo}}) * Thomas Andre ({{Korean|hangul=트마스 아드레 |rr=Teumaseu Adeule}}) == Media == ===Web novel=== ''Solo Leveling'' is a South Korean web novel written by Chugong.
