Solo Leveling, Vol. 7 by Chugong

Synopsis:

““THIS WILL EITHER BE THE END OF HUMAN HISTORY OR A NEW BEGINNING.”

The murders of several distinguished S-rank hunters rock the world, and Jinwoo knows it’s only a matter of time before the perpetrators strike again. The declaration of war comes earlier than expected, however, in the form of a colossal gate looming in the skies above Seoul. With the Hunter’s Association of Korea struggling to adjust to its new normal and the Monarchs picking off the top hunters one by one, will Jinwoo be able to keep everyone safe from the biggest disaster mankind has ever faced?” -Audible

Chapter 2: Korea in Crisis

• He used the association gym to test out his new daggers, which were extremely powerful 
• Jinwoo took Hae-In out on a date because she was his only friend. She said they were friends when fighting the angel statue
• Only with Jinwoo could she relax and not worry about looking out for others

Chapter 6: The King’s Fury

Chapter 8: Individual Preparation

• Jinwoo asked the Hunter’s Association to call all of the counties together to tell them about the gates
• Also, Chairman Yoo confronted him about curing his sickness, and Jinwoo only asked for the chairman to take care of his family in case anything happened to him

Chapter 9: Pride and Delusion

• He warned the world to stay away from the large gates as the war between the Rulers and Monarchs would begin, and millions of magic beasts would come out of those 8 gates
• Jinwoo decided to help China first since their gate was closest to Korea

Chapter 10: The Advent of the Dragon King

Closing thoughts:

Another fantastic volume, and I’m always on the edge of my seat. Each book always leaves me wanting more, and it’s always depressing when I finish each book. I think this sentiment explains how much I love this series. Only one book left!

---

Nutshell:

Jinwoo fully becomes the new Shadow Monarch and prepares for the war against the Monarchs.
