The original Solo Leveling story features Sung Jinwoo as the main protagonist, who starts off as an E-Rank Hunter, but discovers a strange system that allows him to get stronger as he trains. He ends up going on a variety of different missions to discover the source of his powers, while also protecting the world from the monsters in the process.

This is one of the most important arcs in Solo Leveling. The various Hunter Guilds have banded together to rid Jeju Island of the monster ants, but when it becomes clear that the mission is about to fail, Jinwoo steps in to save them.
