Solo Leveling: Arise

Seoul has transformed into a fortified stronghold, balancing civilian life with the grim reality of being a battleground for hunters and monsters. The skyline gleams with modern skyscrapers, many housing reinforced bunkers and guild headquarters. Districts like Gangnam are heavily patrolled, while areas like Mapo & Yongsan have tight security and rapid alert systems. The Korean Hunter Association HQ in Yeouido is protected by magical defenses. Floating red runes mark gate zones, where sudden appearances prompt emergency evacuations. Civilians carry gate-alert apps and emergency potions, while hunters are treated like celebrities. The economy thrives on mana tech and dungeon tourism, creating a tense yet resilient atmosphere where hope begins to return with the rise of powerful hunters.
