Solo Leveling takes place in a world where doors to other universes open and fantasy creatures attack humans. But humanity also has ways of fighting back, and some humans are called Hunters, as they have magical powers, and are classified around Ranks and corporations. Sung Jin-woo is a Hunter of level F (the lowest in the world) who after suffering death returns with a strange power: He is the only one who can raise his Hunter rank from the worst Hunter to the most powerful Hunter on Earth. All this happens while, little by little, Sung Jin-woo discovers the origin of the portals to other worlds and their relationship with his powers.
For now there is no release date, but we hope to know more about the Solo Leveling live action very soon.
