The first episode of Solo Leveling introduces viewers to a world where mysterious “Gates” connect Earth to deadly dungeons filled with monsters. To fight these creatures, certain humans awaken as Hunters with varying ranks and abilities. However, not everyone is strong.
We meet Sung Jin-Woo, a notoriously weak E-Rank Hunter known as the “World’s Weakest.” Despite his lack of power and constant injuries, he continues to join dungeon raids to earn money for his sick mother and younger sister.
During a raid with a group of Hunters, Jin-Woo struggles with even the simplest monsters, barely surviving. The group clears the dungeon but then discovers a hidden double dungeon inside. Although it seems like a rare opportunity for greater rewards, the team finds themselves trapped inside a strange temple filled with deadly traps and giant statues that can kill them in an instant.
The episode ends with Jin-Woo and the group realizing they must follow mysterious “commandments” carved on the temple walls to survive, setting the stage for the dangerous trial ahead.
