Solo Leveling Plot Twists
In the world of Solo Leveling, there are too many plot twists in that particular world. There are some gates or dungeons that open in random locations, and in those particular gates, mosters live, and those monsters are ranked accordingly. If they don’t kill that monster, then they will come into the human world and destroy it. To kill the monters, there are hunters who have their own ranking.

The raking system has a ranking, which decides which moster or hunter is powerful. The powerful monsters and hunters are ranked as S, and the weakest are ranked as E. The main lead, SUNG JINWOO, was an E-rank hunter, and in the E-rank category, he is the weakest person or hunter.

Head Posts in Solo Leveling
Rulers: In Solo Leveling, The Rulers (지배자들; Jibaejadeul), also called the Fragments of Brilliant Light, are an ancient race of winged humanoids who aim to protect the human race from being annihilated by the Monarchs. Although they have noble ambitions, they are willing to use morally questionable methods to achieve them and are indirectly responsible for the millions of human lives lost ever since monsters first began using gates to cross over to the human world. The Rulers also heavily resemble angels in appearance and are able to use a form of telekinesis unique to themselves called Ruler’s Authority.
Monarchs: Monarchs (군주; Gunju) in Solo Leveling are an ancient race of monsters who seek to wipe out the human race for their own ends, making them the primary antagonists of the series. As a result, they have a cruel disregard for life and are generally very arrogant towards those they find inferior to themselves, especially humans. The Monarchs also each govern a different race of monsters and take after the race that they rule over in appearance.
Igris: Igris, the Blood-Red Commander, is a high-ranking knight with exceptional swordsmanship and loyalty. He kneels before his master after battles. Igris dislikes Iron’s foolish behavior in battle. Despite loving the battle, Igris values education and argues with Bellion about Suho’s schooling. He is also one of the most powerful knights.

Spoiler
Spoiler Alert for the people who haven’t watched Solo Leveling yet:
Jinwoo was introduced as a weak hunter from rank E (as we already know). He and 17 other hunters go with them, and his healer, Lee Joohee, goes to a D-level dungeon that has. After deafting the D-level dungeon, there was another secret dungeon open, and they went in, but that was there biggest mistake because in that dungeon there are big status animals that are alive and kill some hunters.
The status is killing the hunters. There are three Commandments of the Cartena. The rules are: worship the Lord, praise the Lord, and prove your faith. This is the code that Jinwoo decodes using his brain. Because of this, the hunters that are alive can survive,but Jinwoo sacrifices his life to save them. At last, there are 6 hunters that can survive. We think that Jinwoo has died. How can I die? (He is the main character, Boii; he can’t die that easily.) When Jinwoo opened his eye, he found him in a hospital, and there was a screen spawn in front of him.
Jin-woo wakes up after three days of sleep, initially thinking he might have dreamed of the events of the double dungeon. Investigators from the Hunters Association explain that it really did happen—Joo-hee is traumatized while Chi-yul is reportedly retiring after losing his arm—and check to see if Jin-woo experienced the very rare “second awakening,” in which a Hunter will experience an increase in ability. The test comes back negative.
Jin-woo discovers a message like the one that declared him a player with daily goals to hit and a penalty for failing to complete them. After skipping the first day and nearly dying when thrown into a penalty quest, Jin-woo begins completing each day’s goal. He receives stat bonuses and loot boxes, which results in him receiving a special item—an instance dungeon key. He enters and is confronted by a wolf monster stronger than anything he had fought before.
More episodes have been released, but I’ll let you enjoy another article with more explanations for the further episodes of Solo Leveling.
