Two boys lived in a village: Yoshiki and Hikaru. The two did everything together...until the day Hikaru was encompassed by a mysterious light. That was when everything changed, Hikaru most of all.

Carrying on at school and hanging out as if nothing has changed as if Hikaru isn t gone would be crazy...but when it looks so very like Hikaru...and acts so very like Hikaru...

Solo Leveling is the most successful Korean comic in the market, and its success has ushered in a huge trend of Korean webtoons in print in English. 

Ever since he woke up in the hospital, Jinwoo's been thrown into a world of cryptic messages, daily quests, and strange dungeons overflowing with creatures he's never even heard of. As he tests out his new abilities, it starts to sink in that he is no longer the Weakest Hunter of All Mankind.

Maybe he can finally attain what he's always wanted-enough power to protect himself-but a run-in with an unexpected foe forces Jinwoo to consider just how far he's willing to go to obtain it!

Jinwoo knows it won't be long before his true power fully comes to light and the guilds and Hunter's Association of Korea descend, seeking his allegiance.

Since his training has thus far been a solo endeavor, Jinwoo decides he ought to at least see what an A-rank raid is really like. Joining the Hunters' excavation team is the perfect opportunity to assess a high-level guild in action, even if his role is limited to hauling and mining. That is, until a particularly nasty dungeon boss requires the luggage carrier to step up to carry the team as well!!

Known as the Weakest Hunter of All Mankind, E-rank hunter Jinwoo Sungs contribution to raids amounts to trying not to get killed.

Unfortunately, between his mothers hospital bills, his sisters tuition, and his own lack of job prospects, he has no choice but to continue to put his life on the line. So when an opportunity arises for a bigger payout, he takes itonly to come face-to-face with a being whose power outranks anything hes ever seen!

With the party leader missing an arm and the only healer a quivering mess, can Jinwoo some­how find them a way out?
