Jo Mina is everything a hunter dreams of being: powerful, rich, adored, and borderline insufferable. She's the queen of the spotlight-literally allergic to being ignored-and she likes it that way. She thrives in the spotlight, her image flawless and her reputation untouchable.
Enter Sung Jinwoo. Quiet. Mysterious. Disrespectfully handsome. He doesn't seek fame. He doesn't chase glory. Yet somehow, without effort he steals Mina's spotlight. And worst of all? He's completely uninterested in her.
She hates him.
How dare he save civilians faster than her? How dare he take her spotlight? How dare he look cooler than her in black? And how dare he not follow her on Instagram?
What starts as a rivalry quickly becomes something far more dangerous: feelings. Ew. As Mina tries (and fails) to stay indifferent, she may just discover that being ignored by Sung Jinwoo is far scarier than any S-Rank dungeon.

Eclipsing Fates | Sung Jin Woo x OC
A Solo Leveling Fanfiction 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐅𝐞𝐥𝐥 She was never meant to survive. The Rulers' light should have consumed her, burned her into nothingness. Yet, against fate itself, she lived-an anomaly, a being of brilliance caught between divinity and humanity. Selene Astraea has spent her life walking the fine line between power and isolation, her golden radiance both a gift and a curse. And then, there is him. Sung Jin-Woo, the man who rose from nothing, a shadow so deep that even the abyss bows before him. The Monarch of Shadows. He should be untouchable, an unstoppable force meant to walk alone. But when their paths intertwine, something shifts. She sees the weight he carries, the burden of a world resting on his shoulders. He sees the cracks beneath her light, the loneliness she hides behind stoic strength. And in the midst of gods and monsters, war and fate, a bond neither of them can deny begins to form-dangerous, consuming, inevitable. She was the only one to ever look past the darkness and see him. He was the only one to ever reach through the light and stay. But in a world where power is everything, and destiny is written in blood and war-can two forces destined to collide ever truly stand side by side? Or will they be forced to destroy each other in the end? --------- Sung Jin Woo × OC SeleneComplete

Teeth│Solo Leveling x male reader
Y/N L/N was a B rank hunter, and a B rank hunter he should've stayed. But after making a deal with something not quite human, he's roped into a game of chess stretching far beyond gods, monsters, and any feeble ranking his world could've ever created. The shadows whisper his name in long lost languages. His own skin doesn't fit right. The hunger grows daily. And in another world, a King watches him, waiting for the moment the stars align in the night sky.

Drawn to his silent strength, Yuna fights to prove her worth, even as he keeps his distance. But when Cha Hae-In returns to reclaim her place in Jinwoo's life, and Yuna's estranged father suddenly seeks to control her, she finds herself caught in a battle for recognition, love, and survival. As new threats emerge, will Yuna's strength be enough to change her fate, or is she destined to remain in the shadows of those more privileged?
