The Solo Leveling anime follows the story of the world's weakest Hunter Sung Jin-Woo.

Despite his limited physical abilities, he tirelessly pursued monsters in order to cover his mother's medical bills. However, fate dealt him a cruel hand when a mission went awry, leaving him on the brink of death. To his surprise, Jin-Woo awoke in a hospital bed, confronted by an ethereal screen hovering above him. This interactive interface, known as the quest log, would prove to be the catalyst for his extraordinary transformation, propelling him to the formidable status of one of the world's most terrifying Hunters.
