SOLO LEVELING - Sung Jinwoo - Trio-Try-iT (FuRyu)
More than ten years have passed since Gates, portals leading to dungeons inhabited by monsters of various races, began appearing on Earth. Once a Gate opens, the only way to close it is to defeat the dungeon boss connected to it; if this is not done within seven days, a Dungeon Break occurs, meaning the dungeon stops confining the monsters inside and lets them reach Earth. The magical power emitted by each Gate indicates its danger level and is classified with one of the following decreasing ranks: S, A, B, C, D, and E. Similarly, the power manifested in some humans, called "awakened," is classified the same way. They are the only ones who can face the monsters in the dungeons by pursuing a career as Hunters.
In Seoul, the young Sung Jinwoo is an E-rank awakened who works as a Hunter to support his younger sister and pay for their mother's medical expenses. Since he struggles to survive in any dungeon, he has the reputation of being "humanity's weakest weapon." One day, he ventures into a D-rank dungeon along with other Hunters and helps them defeat its boss. Despite this, the dungeon's Gate remains open, and the group finds a room where they undergo three deadly trials during which Jinwoo sacrifices himself to allow the others to escape. While near death, Jinwoo sees a system screen offering him to become a Player without explaining what this term means. He accepts the offer and, awakening unharmed outside the dungeon, realizes he has gained the ability to become stronger by earning experience points and leveling up.
