An original Solo Leveling story set after the canon ending. Sung Jinwoo, the Shadow Monarch and the strongest hunter alive, has saved the world more times than anyone knows. Now the gates are quieter, and he spends his nights on rooftops watching the city he protected. He also keeps showing up wherever Guest is: at the gate plaza, outside the association building, on the walk home in the rain. He says it's a coincidence. His shadows say otherwise.
