Solo Leveling, Vol. 4 by Chugong
Synopsis:
““IT’S SHOWTIME.” The news has made headlines-“Korea and Japan join hands to exterminate the terrifying magic beasts on Jeju Island once and for all!” It’s a monumental moment for the people of the country…and it has absolutely nothing to do with Jinwoo. Instead, the newest S-rank hunter’s number one priority is bringing his recently recovered mother back home where she belongs at last. When the situation on Jeju Island takes a devastating turn for the worse, though, will the country’s top hunters be strong enough to save the day without him?” -Audible

Opening thoughts:
The last book I’m reading for the month, then I have to wait an entire month to continue the series.
Key notes:
Chapter 1: The True Reward
Jinwoo claims the cursed mystery box reward, gaining the Crafting skill and the elixir recipe. He’s now equipped to brew an elixir capable of curing his mother’s coma using the Demon Monarch’s blood
Chapter 2: The Korea-Japan Alliance
South Korean and Japanese Hunter Associations form a joint alliance to clear the Jeju Island ant gate. The mission gains massive attention, though Jinwoo remains focused on helping his mother—not eager for the spotlight
Chapter 3: Ryuji Goto
During the Jeju operation, Japanese S-Rank hunter Ryuji Goto shows doubts about the mission. China and Japan’s strategies raise tensions. Jinwoo stays in the background while monitoring escalating gate activity
Chapter 4: An Ominous Presence
Jinwoo senses a malevolent aura surrounding the Jeju gate. A more powerful and unusual ant-type magic beast appears—signaling that this operation is far more dangerous than anticipated
Chapter 5: King of the Ants
A colossal Ant King emerges, overwhelming the allied S-Ranks. Amid chaos and heavy casualties, Jinwoo steps in discreetly to help neutralize the threat, showcasing his tremendous power
Chapter 6: A Fruitful Harvest
After the battle, Jinwoo collects rare ant beast organs and materials—prime ingredients for elixirs. He expands his shadow army and gains strategic insights into ant physiology
Chapter 7: ALl Eyes on Jinwoo
With the news swirling about his unseen hand in the Jeju operation, political pressure mounts. All eyes are now on Jinwoo—guilds, associations, even foreign agencies are watching closely
Chapter 8: AN Unexpected Proposal
Major guilds and the Korean Hunters Association approach Jinwoo with enticing offers: leadership positions, guild founding rights, sponsorships—all with strings attached, and resources he both needs and fears
Chapter 9: The Applicant
A mysterious applicant submits a proposal to join Jinwoo’s entourage. It becomes clear they’re more than just a hunter—they carry political backing and unique skills that could shift power dynamics
Chapter 10: How About SoloPlay Guild?
In response to overtures from others, Jinwoo contemplates creating his own guild—SoloPlay. This entity would grant him autonomy and serve as a platform for controlled growth and alliances
Closing thoughts:
It feels like every book ending is such a huge cliffhanger. But regardless, the story is progressing nicely.
Nutshell:
Jinwoo helps with the Jenu Island ant-gate operation. Then the volume ends with Jinwoo and Jinho forming their own guild.
