Solo Leveling	comment	Ten years have passed since Gates appeared in the human world, which are connected to another world. At the same time, some people awakened to superhuman abilities. The awakened beings who can enter the Gates, and hunt the monsters that are lurking inside, before they can break out into the human world, are called "Hunters". One of these Hunters is Sung Jin-woo, a 24-year-old E-rank Hunter, who is mockingly called the "World's Weakest Hunter". Being barely stronger than the average human, Jin-woo struggled in the lowliest of dungeons to get by and provide for his family.One day, however, things go straight to hell for Jin-woo and his party when a low-level dungeon turns out to be far more dangerous than initially assumed. Alone, wounded and surrounded, Jin-woo faces his certain doom, until a voice suddenly appears that offers to make Jin-woo a "Player". With nothing to lose, Jin-woo accepts and loses consciousness. After waking up in the hospital, he notices a quest log that only he can see, which uses RPG-like terms. Soon after, he learns that unlike any other Hunter, he can gain character levels and improve rapidly by hunting monsters and training every day. This is the story of how Jin-woo goes from being the weakest to the strongest Hunter in the world.Solo Leveling (ë‚˜ í˜¼ìž�ë§Œ ë ˆë²¨ì—…, na honjaman lebel-eob, also known as I Alone Level Up) is a Web Serial Novel, written by Chugong, which consists of 270 chapters and was collected into 14 volumes by Papyrus.Has a 2018-2021 webcomic adaptation by Jang Sung-lak that was published by KakaoPage, and lasted for 200 chapters.

In 2020, the webcomic was picked up as well.An anime adaptation by A-1 Pictures with music by Hiroyuki Sawano was also announced for 2023. (Announcement Trailer). Note that depending on which version you watch in Japanese, you may hear the voice actors use either the Japanese or Korean names.On February 2, 2022, Solo Leveling is receiving its video game version and would be an action RPG title for PC and Mobile.

Solo Leveling / int_1049848f	comment	Aliens Speaking English: A perspective flip happens when Jin-woo goes through the red gate with newer members of the White Tiger guild. He encounters ice elves who refer to the humans as garbage, which Jin-woo takes offense to. The ice elves are shocked by a human speaking their language. It turns out the System auto-translates speech between Jin-woo and any intelligent monsters. The Hunters raid force is very confused when the boss of the dungeon, Kargargan, suddenly starts speaking Korean to them. The ant king's Cannibalism Superpower allows it to talk after eating Min Byung-goo's head. Since his level was so high, Beru is the first shadow soldier that Jin-woo raised, who can speak. Not even Iron can speak, despite originally being human.

This is first shown in the double dungeon, when Ju-hee is unable to move her body, because she spent all her energy on futilely trying to restore Jin-woo's leg. In addition to a mana pool, Jin-woo has a fatigue counter which goes from 0 to 100.

It backfires horribly when Goto and several other Japanese S-ranks are killed, and Go Gun-hee figures out what they intended to do.

Solo Leveling / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: After becoming a Player, Jin-woo learns that he must do a certain quest every day, or else he'll be sent to another dimension where he has to survive for four hours before returning. During his job quest, he ignores a warning over the daily quest, thinking he'll be able to do it later, but he gets stuck in the dungeon. He is locked out of any escape options and loses a means to leave, a dungeon-exclusive teleportation stone, when an endurance round begins after barely defeating the boss. Low on health and power, he has no hope to survive... only to luck out when the penalty quest triggers just before the finishing blow would've been dealt. Because of all the levels he has gained since the last time he got penalized, Jin-woo has a much easier time surviving the penalty zone; and because he can still gain levels in the penalty zone and has access to the item store, Jin-woo is able to restore his fatigue, recover from his previous injuries by gaining even more levels, and acquire a new weapon to better help him survive the gauntlet upon returning to the job quest. Because of all this, he receives additional "AP" since he not only didn't use the stone, he lasted longer than required as well as defeating all of the enemies during the round, resulting in a higher ranked version of the new Job given to him.

Solo Leveling / int_23473ae7	type	Adaptation Expansion
Solo Leveling / int_23473ae7	comment	Adaptation Expansion: The webcomic adaptation adds parts that weren't originally in the web novel. There are more scenes with Song Chi-yeol shown right before he meets Jin-woo again, like him practicing swordsmanship at a dojo. Kim Sang-shik's guilt for running away and his struggle to apologize to Jin-woo is shown. The entire fight with Kang Tae-shik is, except for how it ended, different and expanded. Tae-shik plays around with a sword-wielding Song Chi-yeol for a bit before Jin-woo interferes. Furthermore, Jin-woo's tendons are cut after Tae-shik used Stealth only for Jin-woo to pull a Self-Recovery Surprise by using his full recovery quest reward, when in the novel Jin-woo merely fakes panicking and reads Tae-shik's attack in time. Hwank Dong-soo arrives in Korea in Chapter 47 of the webnovel, where he encounters Woo Jin-cheol. The two of them go to Jin-woo's location at the red gate, where they encounter Baek Yoon-ho, and Hwang Dong-soo provokes a short-lived fight. The fight with the high orc sorcerer is less one-sided in the Web Comic, and while Jin-Woo is still far stronger than the sorcerer, his summons have a more difficult time handling his minions and the tide is only turned once Jin-Woo starts raising the high orcs he killed to fight against their own. The anime has a few original scenes itself compared to the novel and webcomic, primarily in the form of Adaptational Early Appearance, like seeing Yoo Jin-ho go through the Hunter rank evaluation or Sung Jin-ah at school. In particular, episode 8 is almost entirely anime original. The efforts of Jin-ho's family's company to build their own guild are expanded, with Cha Hae-in being approached to become the guildmaster.

Solo Leveling / int_2848e7d2	comment	Oblivious to Love: Jin-woo can't take a hint that several women in the story have fallen for him after becoming a "Player". The first instance was the nurse at the hospital who happened to see him shirtless and working out. She asks for his number, but Jin-woo only interprets this as contact information for hospital follow-up. After cleaning himself up for Jin-ah's parent-teacher conference, he got both teachers and students swooning over him, but he doesn't pick up anything more than the fact that he is Jin-ah's brother. When meeting with Esil's father, Jin-woo asks to "borrow Esil" for a moment (as a guide) and grabbing Esil by the shoulder, and was initially confused on how his wording and actions could get her father worked up into a fury. Finally, there is Cha Hae-in who tries her hardest to give Jin-woo the hint that she likes him (although her own failures to communicate her feelings also hinder that aspect). Jin-woo does end up reciprocating Hae-in's feelings and goes out with her a few times before the climactic battle against the monarchs and after reversing time with the Cup of Reincarnation and settling down in a peaceful world, marries her.

Solo Leveling / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: Jin-woo's first weapon, the Casaka's Poisoned Fang, has an effect that applies Paralysis and Bleed. Sounds amazing, until you realize that most enemies that the effect would be worth a damn against easily resist it. The chance of a successful proc rises significantly on a critical hit to a weak point, but such strikes are often enough to end a battle anyway. The Paralysis effect at least has use in making that first critical hit count against enemies who would otherwise be tough enough to survive it and retaliate, such as the spider boss and Igrit. But the bleed part is useless roughly 100% of the time, as once that paralysis hits, the battle ain't lasting past 5 seconds.

As an E-rank known to be one of the weakest, hunters know to expect that he will be wounded even tackling the weakest of gates (although they also see a benefit in that any gate that Jin-woo joins will be a relative breeze for any rank higher than Jin-woo). Once Jin-woo becomes a "Player" and gains the power of a necromancer, people begin to know him for how fearsome his shadow army is, especially when he leaves his shadows alone to interact with fellow hunters as the Knights Guild found out the hard way with Beru and the ant shadows.

Solo Leveling / int_34c3144b	comment	Lured into a Trap: The double dungeon can be seen as a trap for hunters who thought they could get easy profits, just because the first half of the dungeon was relatively easy. After noticing that the dungeon is going to be very profitable, Hwang Dong-seok leads Yoo Jin-ho and Jin-woo, who are fillers, to the boss room, so he can trap them there and let them die to the boss. Kang Tae-shik pulls off a Wounded Gazelle Gambit, so he can kill Ju-hee quickly. After killing Kang Tae-shik, Jin-woo sees that the boss room was full of hobgoblins and a powerful boss... for a D-rank dungeon that is. He notes that this likely would have caught hunters off-guard, because earlier they only had to fight against normal goblins, who didn't engage in large numbers. Red gates are basically massively dangerous traps. They initially appear to be normal dungeons, but the gate closes soon after a hunter enters it with no one being able to get in or out. The hunters are then trapped in a dangerous environment, like an icy waste, a hot desert or a hot and humid jungle full of poisonous denizens. Furthermore, an hour outside equals a day inside, and the only way to get out alive is to either wait seven days in the human world so that a dungeon break can occur or to kill the boss of the dungeon.

The mages Jin-woo encounters in the class advancement dungeons also do not pose much of a threat by themselves, it's the minions they summon that will overwhelm anyone in sheer numbers. Heavily averted with regards to Jin-Woo. Because of his extremely high level of magical power, the fact that he can summon, can spread out his magical power, and is a necromancer, he is labeled by the hunter association as a mage class hunter(A mage class hunter is usually a Glass Cannon who can cast detructive AOE magic but aren't much stronger than normal humans). The many monsters and enemies he has fought, brutalized, and slaughtered with melee weapons and his bare hands would beg to differ.

Solo Leveling / int_38d02d44	comment	Batman Gambit: When Jin-woo realizes that Hwang Dong-seok's raid force consists of "lizards", he expects to be left behind as The Bait for the boss in the dungeon. However, this is exactly what he wanted in the first place, as he could then get the experience and the loot for himself. During his battle against the ice elf boss, Baruka, Jin-woo realizes that he's in trouble even with Igrit by his side. He needed another strong shadow to help him, so he kicks a sword close to Kim Cheol whom he slapped down earlier. When Kim recovers, he notices the sword and immediately tries to kill Jin-woo as payback. This allows Jin-woo to have Igrit kill Kim Cheol with the pretense of self-defense and raise him as his new shadow soldier. As he dies, Kim Cheol curses as he realizes that Jin-woo predicted his every move. The Architect was running one on Jin-woo, using the leveling system to keep him distracted and slowly but surely build up his strength. At the appropriate moment, Jin-woo would be sacrificed and the true Monarch of Shadows would return. Unfortunately, for the Architect, the Monarch of Shadows had other ideas. Hwang Dong-soo attempts a version of this in United States by kidnapping Jin-ho to lure out Jin-woo, in hopes that their confrontation would lure out his boss, Thomas Andre, who Dong-soo expects will help kill Jin-woo out of pride as the strongest hunter and protecting the Scavenger guild members.

Any of the C-rank dungeons Jin-woo goes clearing with Yoo Jin-ho ends up being this. While a high-ranking hunter may need an hour or two, Jin-woo initially needs only thirty minutes and gets even faster once he advances to a class. In gaming terms, he is speedrunning.

Despite being extremely tired after single-handedly defeating a boss earlier, his attack shatters the monster's head. After Jin-woo repeatedly throws his knives at enemies, he learns the Dagger Throw skill, which increases the accuracy and damage he can potentially do. After defeating Igrit, Jin-woo learned Igrit's signature skill, Ruler's Hand, which lets him move relatively small objects without touching them. This lets him catch opponents off-guard by changing the trajectory of his knives after throwing them, and he can also easily retrieve them.

Solo Leveling / int_549cd62d	comment	Level Grinding: Jin-woo gets stronger with every opponent he kills and every quest he completes. As part of a daily quest, Jin-woo has to work out every day. As a reward, he can increase his stats. Before he entered his first dungeon after he became a player, he first raised his strength stat to a level where he could defeat the monsters alone. Shortly after entering his first instant dungeon, unlike inside regular dungeons, Jin-woo realizes that the monsters respawn. He uses this opportunity to level up for several hours before facing the dungeon's boss. Eventually, the System rewards his perseverance with the title "Wolf Slayer", which comes with a significant stat boost when he's fighting beast-type monsters. Raiding C-rank gates with Yoo Jin-ho is a way for Jin-woo to level up consistently. This is convenient for Jin-woo, as he was lacking the funds to reserve the gate rights, and Jin-ho helps him with the mandated party sizes, while no one but Jin-ho, who already is Jin-woo's Secret-Keeper, will get to see his abilities. Inside the red gate, Jin-woo intentionally walks into the ice bear forest, so he can gather more experience and level up relatively safely, before facing the other unknown enemies. The demon castle instant dungeon is full of demons, and Jin-woo in fact is tasked to kill lots of demons to gain their essence for his quest.

Solo Leveling / int_6439de78	comment	Heroic Sacrifice: At the third and final stage of the double dungeon, once all but three of the survivors have fled, it becomes clear that one person will have to stay behind so the other two can escape or else everyone will die. Chi-yeol volunteers at first, but Ju-hee used too much healing magic on Jin-woo's crippled leg and is now too weak to stand, so Jin-woo asks Chi-yeol to help Ju-hee escape, with Jin-woo keeping the exit open. This sacrifice of his triggers the secret quest that causes his transformation into a player. Inside the red gate dungeon, Park Hee-jin tries to buy time for her comrades when Jin-woo's split group faces an ice bear, which she deems as too strong for anyone in the group. Jin-woo quickly stops her though and one hit kills the monster with his bare hand. The Hunters raid leader, Son Gi-hoon, accepts A-rank boss, High Orc Sorcerer Kargargan's, offer to meet him directly, so he and his team can kill the boss before a dungeon break occurs. However, he accepts that their chances of victory are low, so he also wants Jin-woo to use their attack as an opportunity to run away and report what happened so higher-rank hunters can enter the gate in case they fail. One of the guild members even writes her will down on a notepad and gives it to Jin-woo to deliver to her family. Jin-woo was actually supposed to be part of the mining team, and only joined the raid team as a baggage carrier when their usual one failed to show up that day, so everyone felt it was right to prioritize the survival of the (supposed) noncombatant.

Go Gun-hee needs a Legacy Character who will continue keeping the delicate balance of power, as if one guild grows too strong, conflict will inevitably ensue. Jin-woo being identified as the next S-rank motivates Go Gun-hee to seek Jin-woo out and offer to mentor him. He warns Jin-woo that joining one of Korea's Big Five will probably destroy the balance that he has managed to keep for the last ten years. Jin-woo ends up starting his own guild instead. Go Gun-hee later shows Jin-woo that there has been an increase in Gates at the same time more Hunters have been awakening. Jin-woo suspects it is this trope.

Translations are split on whether "eo" or "u" should be used for names, e.g. Song Chi-yeol/-yul and Kim Cheol/Chul. Same with "oo" or "u" like with Dong-su/-soo and Joo-hee/Ju-hee. Kang Tae-shik's name can also be written as "Gang" and "Tae-sik". Is it Igrit, Igris or Ygritte? One translator has chosen the latter, because it matches the Korean form of a certain redhead's name. Eshil or Esil? Translations differ. Also the name of her clan can be spelled Ladir or Radir.

Solo Leveling / int_8ed5c6e4	comment	Asshole Victim: Generally, the people Jin-woo kills don't deserve any better. Hwang Dong-seok's raid force consisted of greedy "lizards", who would often betray and kill other hunters in the dungeons, knowing they could get away with it, so they wouldn't have to share the rewards with the fillers. Kang Tae-shik was an assassin who tried to kill Jin-woo, Ju-hee, and Song Chi-yeol, because they witnessed him murdering other people, who he murdered because they witnessed him murdering other people, who he murdered because he was paid to. Of course, he also admitted he enjoys torturing and killing people, so he probably wasn't trying very hard to avoid collateral damage. Jin-woo uses a criminal, who abused his awakened powers to rape women (driving at least one of them to suicide), as The Bait to distract a boss' minions. As Jin-woo puts it in the webcomic, he sees the rapist as even more worthless trash than the psychopathic assassin, Kang Tae-shik. Inside the red gate: Considering Kim Cheol, driven by his starving and freezing madness, tried to kill his fellow hunters, including Jin-woo, who was fighting the boss to save everyone, there is no doubt no one will miss him.

Solo Leveling / int_90e31482	comment	Laser-Guided Karma: The "lizards" thought they had an easy target in Jin-ho and Jin-woo when they left them to die to the spider boss. They got all messily killed by Jin-woo. Yoo Jin-ho standing by Jin-woo's side (even before he learned how strong Jin-woo is) and keeping Jin-woo's secret earns him Jin-woo's trust. The two then genuinely become friends and treat each other as honorary brothers. Kim Cheol acting like an Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy ends up with him humiliated and weakened. Worse, he doesn't show any sign of reason and blames anything and anyone but himself for his own failure. Jin-woo punishes Kim Cheol's emotion- and madness-driven actions by baiting Kim Cheol into attacking Jin-woo, which leads to Kim Cheol's karmic death and subsequent resurrection as Jin-woo's shadow minion. The Japanese Hunter Association's plan to weaken Korea and conquer them, ends up with them weakened instead after losing many of their S-rank hunters. Instead of Korea losing most of their S-Ranks, including the leaders of a good portion of their top Guilds, they lost a single S-Rank that was retired. To contrast, most of the 11 Japanese S-Ranks that participated were killed, including Ryuji Goto, the nation's strongest. Furthermore, Goto's plan was to use this event to indicate to the world that he was a National-Rank Hunter, as the only requirement he hadn't completed was clearing an S-Rank Dungeon, and he would have "cleared" it on a technicality. Instead, it simply showed the world Sung's true power, and made many across the world speculate if HE could be considered a National-Rank. To add icing to this karma cake, Korean Association President Go Gun-hee found out what the Japanese Association planned to do, and this has destroyed any future positive relationship between the two associations. And the final nail in the coffin, when Japan was under attack, with least a million citizens dead, and many were asking why the Korean Association weren't helping Japan at all. Their response? Exposing Japan's betrayal attempt to conquer them, all but effectively ruining any sympathy Japan had. The only reason they were saved was that Jin-woo chose to help them.

Jin-ho also proves to be this in Side Story, where he proposes to title the video game his company developed as "Beautiful World", much to the protest of most of his staff members. He then considers asking Jin-woo for suggestions, but also comments that he is still terrible at giving out names.

After clearing the instant dungeon, a fatigued Jin-woo easily shatters a D-rank boss that broke out of a dungeon. He later defeats a C-ranked boss and a group of D- and C-rank hunters, who tried to kill him. He then teams up with Yoo Jin-ho to clear several C-rank dungeons to make money, though the speed at which he clears them catches the attention of Baekho's Ahn Sang-min. Jin-woo kills B-rank hunter, Kang Tae-shik, when he and his party are targeted by the assassin. After completing the class advancement quest, Jin-woo is given the unique class of Necromancer, allowing him to summon his own army of shadow minions that can also level up with experience. Inside the red gate, Jin-woo is the only one who can deal with the attacks of the ice elves, and becomes the leader of the split group. Every one of his group makes it out alive after Jin-woo single-handedly took down the ice elf boss, while the other group suffered a Total Party Kill. A few chapters later, Jin-woo reevaluates his rank and becomes Korea's tenth S-rank hunter. When an A-rank dungeon goes awry, due to the far superior boss and his minions, Jin-woo is forced to reveal his abilities to the Hunters' raid force, but easily kills the boss's 150 men strong army and then the boss. Unlike against Baruka inside the red gate, Jin-woo didn't require Igrit and Iron's help and was able to successfully extract the boss's shadow.

After clearing his first instant dungeon, he easily shatters a D-rank boss' durable barrier who broke out of a dungeon by throwing his broken sword at it, thus making it easier for the low-ranking hunters who were having trouble getting through it earlier and thus defeat the now-vulnerable boss.. Inside the red gate, Jin-woo can crush an ice bear's head with a single punch. He also knocks out Kim Cheol with only one hit. He smashes A-rank boss, Kargargan, with one punch on the head.

After increasing his "sense" stat, he can feel the magic power of others from a long distance and determine their strength. This also makes it easier for him to spot obscured and invisible enemies, as he immediately managed to sense Kang Tae-shik, in the novel, who hid himself with Stealth. The Hunters' S-rank deputy guildmaster, Cha Hae-in, has a supernatural sense of smell. She can't stand the stench hunters give off, though. The stronger they are, the stronger the smell becomes, although she notes that Jin-woo actually smells very nice. The Baekho guild's guildmaster, Baek Yoon-ho, possesses magical eyesight. He can measure the strength of an individual by analyzing them with his eye. Since he first met Jin-woo, and was shocked by his power, after Jin-woo got out of the red gate, he is the first one to notice that Jin-woo became even stronger, which leads to him figuring out that Jin-woo didn't reawaken and continues to grow in power.

Solo Leveling / int_a9b10a62	comment	Think Nothing of It: Jin-woo appears to be someone who respects authorities and isn't very interested in fame or money. For instance, he explicitly asked the Hunters raid leader, Son Gi-hoon, if it's okay for him to kill all magic beasts, and when he is done, doesn't want any loot after saving the secondary Hunters raid force despite single-handedly clearing the A-rank dungeon. There are multiple reasons for this. First, Jin-woo doesn't feel like he deserves it because he didn't pay for the gate rights, but also because he was more interested in observing what an A-rank dungeon looks like. He also already was rewarded by getting powerful shadows for his army and experience with which he levels up. Hunter Association President Go Gun-hee interprets this as Jin-woo being The Cape who only wants to protect people, and wholeheartedly starts to support him.

Solo Leveling / int_ab5eea65	comment	Dramatic Irony: D-rank hunter Yoo Jin-ho promises to protect Jin-woo in the C-rank dungeon, when he learns that Jin-woo is an E-rank (despite him being a NaÃ¯ve Newcomer). Jin-woo already dealt with the instant dungeon C-rank boss Casaka. He also is made to be the baggage carrier, even though he is stronger than the entire raid force. Kim Cheol and his team mock Jin-woo, the E-rank, for supposedly leading his team to their deaths by wandering into ice bear territory, and are sure that he never received formal training like they did when they joined Baekho. One scene later, the audience learns from Jin-woo that he did this on purpose, because he deemed ice bears to be more reasonable enemies than ice elves or whatever lurks inside the dungeon, because the most dangerous aspect of a dungeon is the unknown. Jin-woo ends up using the ice bears as a reliable source of food, while Kim Cheol's group soon finds themselves weak with hunger. And while Jin-woo did not attend training courses, he is not New Meat and actually has four years of experience as a hunter, and several months as a player. Ironically, Kim Cheol unconsciously assumed Jin-woo to be the leader, feeling the actual power difference between B-rank Park Hee-jin and the other two C-rank hunters that were left behind, but ignored why he got them confused and moved on. Like in the C-rank dungeon with Hwang Dong-seok, Jin-woo accompanies the second Hunters raid force as a baggage carrier in his second A-rank dungeon. At this point, he already was unofficially reevaluated as an S-rank, and was far stronger than the A-rank raid leader. Jin-woo volunteered as a baggage carrier as an excuse to watch a professional team clear an A-rank dungeon, but when the dungeon turned out to be more dangerous than expected, Jin-woo ended up showing them how it's done.

Jin-woo seeks stronger and more dangerous opponents as he levels up. When the Hunter Association's S-rank president offers to make Jin-woo his successor, Jin-woo refuses, stating that he wants to fight in dungeons and hunt. Most monsters that Jin-woo fights have this as well, notably the ice elf boss in the red gate where he finds the appearance of strong opponents very interesting.

A red gate is a special gate that soon after closes off until all hunters are dead, the boss is defeated, or a dungeon break happens after seven days in the human world have passed. However, the red gate leads to a dangerous dimension where time is different. Hunters trapped inside a red gate dungeon would have to survive for roughly half a year before help from outside could come. Not only do red gate dungeons contain deadly monsters, but the dungeons also often have inhospitable climates such as scorching deserts or below-freezing forests.

Solo Leveling / int_cc7fae30	comment	Outside-Context Problem: The dungeons and humans awakening and gaining magical abilities at first. After a few years this situation became normalized and the world carried on while adapting to these changes. Then another one arose in the form of Sung Jin-Woo who is an anomaly even by the standards of the wonders that changed the world. Almost everything about Sung Jin-Woo has gone beyond what whould be possible like; Awakend humans gain a certain level of power and are locked into that level. They can increase their abilities with magical equipment and a rare few can re-awaken to an even greater level of power but for most your level is what you are stuck with. Sung Jin-Woo gains the ability to grow and become more powerful through fighting and killing enemies. Also, while other hunters are stuck with their specialities (mage, fighter, thief, etc.) Sung Jin-Woo can allocate his "points" into specific areas of capability or "stats" like strength(physical power), vitality(durability, stamina, and endurance), sense(physical senses and magical senses), agility(speed, reflexes, and dexterity) or intelligence(ammount of magical power and strength of magical abilities). Sung Jin-Woo gains an extradimensional inventory and shop where he can store items without limit and purchase items not available to hunter society with his own special currency allowing him to carry anything he needs while gaining incredible items no other hunter has access to. Sung Jin-Woo gets access to specialized dungeons, enemies, and rewards that no other hunter can get which further puts him ahead of others. Enemies that Sung Jin-Woo kills may drop a skill stone with the enemy's special ability in it that he can use to gain the ability. It's even possible for him to obtain an ability from another hunter. Sung Jin-Woo becomes a necromancer/shadow lord that can revive the fallen (be they monster or human) into his personal army of shadow soldiers, and unlike a traditional necromancer, these are revenant shadows with all of the powers and intelligence of their living selves, grow stronger alongside Sung Jin-Woo, can be summoned at will from shadows, and cannot be destroyed as they will just reform from shadows so long as Sun Jin-Woo has mana. Not only is this ability way outside of normal for hunters, hunters that can summon can only summon 2 or 3 monsters at most but Sung Jin-Woo's shadow summons can number into the hundreds and they only drain mana if they are damaged and cost him nothing to maintain their existence. In the revised timeline where hunters and gate no longer exist, Cha Hae-in is left totally lost when her and Jin-woo's son, Su-ho, begins flying.

Solo Leveling / int_d45bdfee	comment	Locked in a Freezer: The penalty zone for not completing a daily quest cannot be left until four hours have passed. There are also gigantic monsters out there to kill Jin-woo. The first time he was inside the penalty zone, he was still Level 1, so he had no other choice but to run for his life. Jin-woo's first instant dungeon locks him inside. The only way to get out was using a stone to get home or defeat the boss. The class advancement room is another special dungeon that locks Jin-woo inside it until he is able to clear it. However, he spends so long in it that he ends up getting sent to the penalty zone for failing to complete the daily quest, allowing him to level up more, replenish his health and prepare for the rest of the dungeon upon his return. Red gates are special gates that are shut both from the outside and the inside as soon as a hunter enters it. These gates are especially dangerous because of the drastically different environment (possibly including extreme temperatures, something hunters don't normally prepare for in dungeon raids), the fact that time flows different inside, and help can't arrive until a dungeon break happens. Because of the difference in time, hunters may have to survive for nearly half a year or kill the boss before they can leave.

Solo Leveling / int_e68b72	comment	The Load: Jin-woo used to be the load of Association-mandated raid forces, as he struggled against even the weakest of monsters. This is reversed later on, as he overpowers his fellow hunters in later raids. Hunters who are seen as expendable are left behind by some of their colleagues. Those who do this are referred to as "lizards" (named after lizards who leave their tail behind when it becomes a hindrance), and a friend of Jin-woo's once warned him that Jin-woo, as the "World's Weakest Hunter", was in frequent danger of this. Kim Cheol leaves half the raid force (all hunters below B-rank) behind inside the red gate, as he doesn't want to get slowed down by them, calling them dead weight, and "subtly" gestures to them to not follow him. In an Ironic Echo, he is humiliated by "E-rank" Jin-woo and gets called dead weight, after suffering a terrible defeat at the hands of the monsters.

Solo Leveling / int_fa7d3dfe	type	Number Two
Solo Leveling / int_fa7d3dfe	comment	Go Gun-hee expects Jin-woo's answer why he refused to become Gun-hee's Number Two and eventual successor to be money, but then is taken aback that Jin-woo is really only interested in fighting in dungeons and defeating the monsters inside. He then wrongfully assumes Jin-woo is doing it out of pure altruism, and starts to use all his resources available to support Jin-woo.

Solo Leveling / int_fc07d409	comment	Hopeless Boss Fight: The Statue of God and its minions trample Jin-woo's raid force like insects, and the challenge is more about surviving the encounter by following the commandments that they were given earlier.
