In the world of Solo Leveling, hunter ranks determine their strength, skills in fighting monsters from a parallel universe, and their ability to navigate dungeons. But how exactly does the ranking system work?
After awakening, hunters are assessed using a specialized device that assigns them one of six ranks: E, D, C, B, A, and S.
E-Rank – The weakest hunters, whose abilities barely surpass those of ordinary humans. They rarely participate in serious raids and mostly perform support tasks.
D-Rank – Allows hunters to complete low-level dungeons successfully, though they remain vulnerable to stronger monsters.
C-Rank – The first major step in the hunter hierarchy. These hunters are strong enough to take on complex missions but still fall short of the elite.
B-Rank – Grants the status of a professional fighter with excellent physical conditioning and combat skills.
A-Rank – The elite, capable of battling serious threats and leading teams in dangerous raids.
S-Rank – The highest level. These unique fighters possess immense power and influence. Not only do they fight the most formidable monsters, but they also shape the balance of power in the hunter world. They are considered nearly invincible, standing above the laws of the nations they reside in.
As he ascends through the ranking system, the protagonist Sung Jin-Woo goes from the weakest E-Rank hunter to an unparalleled force, proving that limits can be overcome with determination and growth.
