Solo Leveling: Awakening Shadows: The Bonds We Forge The untold story of Jin Tae-Hyun and Ha Yoon-Jin, childhood friends of Sung Jinwoo, and their journey through the unforgiving world of hunters. Setting the Stage The story begins in a world transformed by gates and dungeons, where humans awakened as hunters must battle monsters to protect humanity. Amidst this chaos, two childhood friends-Jin Tae-Hyun and Ha Yoon-Jin-find themselves awakened as E-rank hunters, the lowest rank in a hierarchy dominated by the powerful. Alongside their close friend Sung Jinwoo, they embark on their journeys as hunters, struggling to survive in a world that values strength above all else. Unlike Jinwoo, whose journey toward unimaginable power begins later, Tae-Hyun and Yoon-Jin focus on supporting each other and grinding their way up the ranks through sheer determination and teamwork. Protagonists' Backgrounds Jin Tae-Hyun Motivation: Tae-Hyun is deeply loyal to his friends, especially Ha Yoon-Jin and Sung Jinwoo, and views them as his family. His parents died in an early dungeon break, which ignited his resolve to never leave anyone behind. Ha Yoon-Jin Motivation: Having grown up in a poor household, Yoon-Jin sees hunting as a means to provide a better life for herself and her friends. Her bond with Tae-Hyun and Jinwoo is unshakable, and she often acts as the heart of their group.All Rights Reserved
