Solo Leveling, Vol. 1 (comic) (Volume 1)

Solo Leveling, Vol. 1 is the first volume of the Solo Leveling comic series, written by Chugong and illustrated by DUBU (REDICE Studio). The story follows Jinwoo Sung, an E-rank hunter—the weakest of all mankind—who struggles to survive in dangerous raids.

Desperate to support his mother’s hospital bills and his sister’s tuition, Jinwoo takes on a high-risk dungeon for a bigger payout. However, he soon finds himself trapped with monsters far beyond his abilities. When all hope seems lost, he encounters a mysterious system that grants him the ability to level up, making him stronger with each battle.
