Solo Leveling - The Novel Omnibus

Solo Leveling: The Novel Omnibus Vol. 1 is the beginning of an electrifying dark fantasy saga that has captured millions of readers worldwide. Based on the original web novel by Chugong, this omnibus edition collects the initial chapters of the groundbreaking story that inspired the bestselling webtoon and anime adaptation.

The world is no longer safe. Following a mysterious event, gates began appearing, linking Earth to brutal dungeons filled with terrifying monsters. To fight back, a select few gained special powers and became known as Hunters. Among them is Jinwoo Sung, an E-Rank Hunter so weak he’s called the “World’s Weakest.”

But when a dungeon raid goes horribly wrong and Jinwoo is left for dead, he wakes up to discover a strange ability: he alone can see quests, level up, and grow stronger—something no other Hunter can do. What begins as a desperate attempt to survive becomes a journey of transformation as Jinwoo carves his own path toward greatness—alone.

This beautifully bound omnibus includes exclusive artwork and bonus content, delivering a deeper look into the Solo Leveling universe for both new readers and longtime fans.
