Solo Leveling (I Alone Level-Up) In just a decade, the world was completely changed with the appearance of Gates, large portals to another world showing all over the world. Inside these Gates, large structures called ‘dungeons’ are home to a myriad of monsters. And among these monsters, a ‘Boss’reigns supreme in the dungeon. If this Boss isn’t killed in seven days after the appearance of the Gate, the monsters will break free to the outside. This would have signaled the end of the human civilization if it wasn’t for the appearance of Hunters, humans gifted with magical capabilities, that were capable of entering the dungeons before the ‘broke’, and slaying the monsters inside with their superhuman abilities. Not all has been bad. Inside the dungeons, both in the dungeons and in the corpses of monsters, humans had found crystals containing great quantities of mana, which now has become the primary source of energy for humankind, as well as pushing the technology that the world has access to. Not only that, but the corpses of monsters are also sold and used for a myriad of industries. This has made the hunters not only a necessity for public security, but also rich and influential businessmen and super-stars. This is the world you will be spending your next ten years in. In a few days, the ‘Weakest Hunter’ Sung Jin-Woo will enter a rare Dungeon, and through barely surviving its trial, he will emerge with a world-shaking power, becoming a Player under the mysterious System. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the forces of good and evil sharpen their weapons and rally their forces for the upcoming final battle. You receive 1000 CP to help you during your time here. Locations You can start in any part of Earth, except inside of a dungeon, unless you purchase the relevant options for that. Origins You can choose any of the following origins.You may take any origin as a Drop-In. Your age is decided by rolling a 4d8+13 (for Hunters), and your gender is the same asthe one it was on the last jump. Alternatively, you can choose to change either of those for free. Monsters and Primal Fragments age and, in may cases, genders are largely irrelevant. Hunter (Free): You are a Hunter, a human that has ‘awakened’. You are capable of crossing Gates and interact with magical equipment, and are usually expected to fight in the dungeons and join a Guild, or at least be in the service of one. Though that is not the only career path for Hunters, the private sector has ample jobs for hunters, even low-ranking ones, and finding a job among the public organizations, even in other countries besides your own, would be extremely easy. Another alternative you might take is joining the ranks of one of the Hunters Associations, which work for the betterment of the Hunters’ status, their rights and safety, but rarely take part in dungeon expeditions. Hunters, like other magical beings and equipment, have the side-effect of inducing the‘Eternal Sleep’ to some weak non-magical living beings if they spent too much time with them. Whether you have recently awoken as a hunter, or you had been around the block for quite a while, is up to you. Whatever option you chose, you have the basic training for a Hunter and a recognized license to operate as a Hunter. Monster (-100/300 CP): Turns out you are not even human! No, you are one of the beings that populate the other world that the Gates lead into. You are a monster, whatever race and what your strength is is up to you, but you must choose inside the limits of your chosen rank. A E-Rank monster could be a mere small goblin or skeleton, but an A-Rank monster could be a being as mighty as a High-Orc or a Death Knight. For reference, monsters are usually more powerful than humans on their same Rank, so barring special equipment and team-work, a monster would have higher chances of winning against a human that ranked the in the same category, given that their bodies are more used to m
