Hunters are graded by their innate abilities and thus are stuck in their ranks for life. Or so they thought. The story centers on Sung Jinwoo, who is described as a “weak" E-rank hunter at the beginning of the story, but who climbs his way up the ranks after gaining extraordinary powers following a near-death experience.

Netflix has confirmed a live-action adaptation of the popular web novel Solo Leveling, starring Byeon Woo-seok as Sung Jin-woo. Details here.
