Now, he’s inspired to discover the secrets behind his powers and the dungeon that spawned them.
-Arise From the Shadow- Synopsis:
It’s been over 10 years since gates that lead to another dimension have begun appearing across the world. The battles between the magic beasts inhabiting the dungeons through the gates and the human hunters who have awakened the abilities to fight them show no signs of ending. Ordinarily, a hunter’s abilities do not change upon awakening, with their rank never increasing. However, the low-ranked Sung Jinwoo, known as “The Weakest Hunter of All Mankind,” gained the ability to level up through battle during a raid on a double dungeon.
Having completed a job-change quest that earned him the job “Shadow Monarch” and command over an army of shadows, Jinwoo heads into battle seeking the ingredients for the Elixir of Life to save his sick mother.
Solo Leveling is animated by A-1 Pictures (Sword Art Online) and directed by Shunsuke Nakashige (Sword Art Online Alicization War of Underworld).
The first season is available to streamexclusively on Crunchyroll.com. The new omnibus feature film, Solo Leveling -ReAwakening-, will be screening in theaters globally starting December 6.
