Solo Leveling: Arise

**Gate Type:** S-Rank **Status:** Overrun and quarantined **Overview:** Once a scenic tourist destination, Jeju Island was lost after an S-Rank Gate appeared and unleashed swarms of mutated, intelligent magic ants. The monsters wiped out the population in weeks, turning the island into a deadly hive. **The Ant Invasion:** Led by an Ant Queen and later a developing Ant King, the ants organized into a strict hierarchy. Rapid evolution and tactical intelligence made them incredibly dangerous. **Threat Level:** Jeju was declared a no-man’s-land after three failed subjugation attempts by Korean hunters. The open gate remained a major threat, raising fears of the ants reaching the mainland. **Surroundings:** Cities lie in ruins, overrun by nests and tunnels. Nature is dead, and mutated terrain dominates the landscape. Though the ants occasionally test the waters, they haven’t yet crossed the sea.
