Stone Golem Dungeon
| ANIME | Solo Leveling |
| RANK | D-Rank |
| FINAL BOSS | Stone Golem |
This fight isn’t happening in a dungeon, but it does involve a Stone Golem that popped out of a Rank D dungeon. A handful of low-rank hunters were dispatched to deal with it, but they were struggling since most of them were D and E rank. Coincidentally, this all went down while Jinwoo was finishing up in the Instant Dungeon. Seeing that the hunters were no match for the massive golem, Jin-Woo chose to step in quietly. He tossed a sword at the golem to create an opportunity.

The main boss was Blue Poison-Fangs Rasaka, the Swamp Ruler, who put up a fierce battle against Jin-Woo.

Goblins Dungeon
| ANIME | Solo Leveling |
| RANK | C-Rank |
| FINAL BOSS | Hobgoblin |
Goblins Dungeon is where Jin-Woo met up again with the survivors from the Double Dungeon. In this place, Taeshik was brought in to help clear a C-Rank dungeon and had to keep an eye on three C-Rank “probational prisoners” who were allowed to join the raid in exchange for shorter sentences. The Hunters Association decided on this because they were short on hunters after the Double Dungeon disaster. Taeshik was supposed to take out the prisoner, but he ended up killing another hunter who stumbled upon the scene. In the end, Taeshik unleashed his full power and charged at Jin-Woo with his Stealth skill on, but he fell victim to Jin-Woo’s Bloodlust skill, leaving him vulnerable just long enough for Jin-Woo to deliver a fatal stab to his chest.

| RANK | C-Rank |
| FINAL BOSS | Giant Arachnid Buryura |
Insects Dungeon is where Sung Jin-Woo first took human lives after being backstabbed by Hwang Dongsuk and his team of Lizards. This place was crawling with insect-like Magic Beasts, and the main boss was the enormous Giant Arachnid Buryura. It was a huge spider with a grayish belly and tough exoskeleton armor. Jin-Woo had a hard time battling it, but he ultimately managed to take it down. Just after that, Hwang Dong-Suk and his raiding party showed up, revealing their real plan to betray Jin-Woo and Yoo Jin-Ho by leaving them behind.

Rank-B Gate
| ANIME | Solo Leveling |
| RANK | B-Rank |
| FINAL BOSS | Unknown |
A couple of days after what happened on Jeju Island, a B-rank gate popped up right in the middle of a road in Seoul. Go Gun-Hee, the head of the Korean Hunters Association, assigned Jin-Woo to handle this dungeon. It looked pretty similar to the Red Gate dungeon from before. But Jin-Woo breezed through it all on his own without breaking a sweat. He had leveled up so much that this kind of gate was a piece of cake for him. He was in and out in just a few hours, making his way back to the human world like it was no big deal.

| RANK | A-Rank |
| FINAL BOSS | Blood-Red Commander Igris |
A Job Change Quest Dungeon is a unique dungeon designed by the System specifically for Sung Jinwoo. The inside looks a lot like an old medieval castle.

After finishing the dungeon, he earned a new skill called Shadow Extraction. It’s in this dungeon that Jinwoo takes down Blood-Red Commander Igris. This experience was meant to show Sung Jinwoo the potential of a shadow sovereign and to grant him his first Shadows, including Igris.

Ahjin Guild’s 1st A-Rank Gate
| ANIME | Solo Leveling |
| RANK | A-Rank |
| FINAL BOSS | Nagas |
This is the first A-rank gate that the Ahjin Guild steps into. The dungeon is home to some seriously powerful humanoid monsters. Most of them are A-rank, tough enough to challenge A-rank hunters. These half-human, half-serpent beings are called Nagas. They usually have bodies that are about 2 to 3 times the size of an average human. With their shiny blue skin, sharp fangs, red eyes, and fins, they look pretty intimidating. In the end, they were taken down by Sung Jinwoo and turned into his shadow soldier.

Red-Gate Dungeon
| ANIME | Solo Leveling |
| RANK | A-Rank |
| FINAL BOSS | Baruka |
The Red Gate Incident was a major disaster, and a C-Rank Gate purchased by the White Tiger Guild turned out to be a Red Gate instead. Red Gate Dungeons are classified as Rank A, and this one was no exception, resembling a frigid Arctic landscape. It was snowing heavily, and anyone could easily suffer from frostbite or become a meal for a polar bear. Interestingly, time worked differently in this dungeon; a single day inside felt like just an hour outside. Despite the harsh conditions, it was also inhabited by snow elves, who were on the lookout to take down any hunters. However, Jin-Woo managed to navigate through the chaos and took down the boss monster. In the end, out of the fourteen hunters who entered, only five made it back alive, thanks to Sung Jinwoo’s efforts. Unfortunately, Chul wasn’t as fortunate and lost his life during the battle inside the dungeon.

The Busan Gate was a tough A-Rank dungeon that popped up in Busan, Korea, a few weeks after the Jeju Island Raid. Typically, A-rank dungeons attracted guilds with a couple of S-rank hunters, but the Busan Dungeon was known to be particularly challenging. Because of this, the Knights Guild wasn’t allowed to take a crack at it, especially since they were short an S-rank hunter, which could lead to a major disaster. The association was pretty hesitant to let them in. But then Jin-Woo stepped in to lend a hand. Just minutes after they entered the dungeon, he got a bad feeling that his sister Jinah was in trouble. Realizing he couldn’t bail on the Knights Guild without backup, he called on Beru, his top shadow soldier, to hold the fort while he rushed off to find his sister. So, he left Beru behind to keep the guild safe and tackle the boss.

| RANK | A-Rank |
| FINAL BOSS | Kargalgan |
The Hunters Guild Gate was an elite A-Rank Gate managed by the Hunters Guild and marked the first A-Rank Gate that Jinwoo successfully tackled solo. Inside the dungeon, orcs roaming that were even tougher than A-rank hunters. The A-rank Hunters struggled to keep their ground. When the raid leader decided to retreat and alert the others, they were shocked to find the portal had shut. Alongside Jinwoo, they stumbled upon the boss, Kargalgan. Initially, he toyed with the hunters, but soon enough, Jinwoo caught his eye. After an intense showdown between the two, Jinwoo managed to turn Kargalgan into one of his shadows.

Demon Castle
| ANIME | Solo Leveling |
| RANK | S-Rank |
| FINAL BOSS | Cerberus (Gatekeeper) Vulcan (50th Floor) Metus (75th Floor) Baran (100th Floor) |
The Demon Castle was an S-Rank instant Dungeon designed by the Architect and filled with Demons. It looked a lot like a ruined version of Seoul, with buildings ablaze. This dungeon had 100 floors and featured four bosses. Later, the Shadow Monarch Ashborn revealed that the castle’s design was inspired by an alternate timeline of Seoul, where a war between the Rulers and the Monarchs had ravaged the human world, leading to humanity’s extinction. Sung Jin-Woo tackled this dungeon solo, taking down all four bosses. He first encountered Cerberus on the 50th floor, then faced Vulcan on the 75th, followed by Metus, and finally Baran on the 100th floor. Remarkably, Jin-Woo defeated each of them, gaining experience and unlocking new skills along the way.

| FINAL BOSS | Kandiaru |
The Cartenon Temple, often referred to as the Double Dungeon, was this enigmatic hidden spot that popped up within two different D-Rank dungeons throughout the story. It acted as the headquarters for Kandiaru, aka the Architect, and was where Ashborn searched for a human worthy enough to be his host and inherit his powers as the Shadow Monarch. Inside this dungeon, they came across massive sculptures, some of which stood guard at the gates, and the lord himself, known as the Statue of God. After facing numerous challenges and losses, Jin-Woo finally managed to solve the puzzles, and the system picked him as a player.

Jeju Island S- Rank Dungeon
| ANIME | Solo Leveling |
| RANK | S-Rank |
| FINAL BOSS | Ant King |
The S-Rank Gate on Jeju Island was a notorious dungeon that popped up in Korea. It came into existence after some S-Rank Hunters ventured into another S-Rank gate on the island. Unfortunately, this same dungeon had a major dungeon break four years back, leading to a tragic loss of many lives. Later on, the top Japanese guild, the Draw Sword Guild, reached out to the Korean Hunter Association, and they decided to team up to tackle the escalating threat. The raid started off smoothly, with the Japanese guild easily taking down the ants while the Koreans handled the queen and her guards without much hassle. But things took a dark turn when a super-powerful ant known as the Ant King showed up as the real boss of the dungeon. He ambushed both teams and took out eight of the 16 S-Rank Hunters, including Goto Ryuji and Min Byung-Gyu. The raid was on the brink of disaster until Sung Jinwoo arrived just in time to rescue his comrades and single-handedly defeated the Ant King after an intense battle.

Tokyo S-Rank Gate
| ANIME | Solo Leveling |
| RANK | S-Rank |
| FINAL BOSS | Legia |
The Tokyo S-Rank Gate popped up in Tokyo, Japan, and it was a big deal. After the fourth raid on Jeju Island, Japan lost seven of its top S-rank fighters, including Goto Ryuji, leaving the country pretty vulnerable. Just when things seemed bleak, an S-rank portal appeared in Tokyo a few months later. Japan struggled to gather enough strength to deal with this new threat, so it reached out for help from other countries. Yuri Orloff, a hunter from Russia, stepped in to assist but accidentally triggered a dungeon break. This led to monsters escaping and attacking him. A few days later, Jin-Woo showed up and took down 28 out of 29 giants all by himself, including the one that had killed Orloff. With the giants gone, Jin-Woo jumped through the gate and found Legia, the King of Giants and one of the nine Monarchs, chained up in the boss room. Even though Legia claimed he would join Jin-Woo in the upcoming war against the Rulers, Jin-Woo saw through his deception and quickly beheaded him, sealing the gate and putting an end to the crisis.

The First-ever S-Rank Gate opened, leading to one of the most devastating dungeon breaks in history. When this S-Rank Gate popped up in America, a super powerful monster named Kamish showed up too. This event marked the rise of national-level hunters. Right after Kamish emerged from the gate, he brutally took down five S-rank hunters. Among those who faced Kamish was Thomas Andre, and after he managed to defeat the beast, he got to keep one of Kamish’s sharp fangs, famously known as Kamish’s Wrath.
