He was a normal boy going through his everyday normal life until one day his mother falls sick to a rare disease which even the doctors can’t cure.

He is then faced with a situation to financially and emotionally support his only family, his sister.

But unluckily, he was way too weak to be able to make any real progress within the hunters community that specialised in slaying monsters inside with dungeons.

Best Solo Leveling quotes about life:

If you don’t know how to control yourself, your courage becomes recklessness.

Before, darkness existed deep inside you… Now you are the darkness itself. –

-Norma Selner to Sung Jin Woo

The fact that she was not able to analyse his strength remained the same. However, this time she could confirm that the darkness she saw before was no longer hidden inside, but it was Sung Jin Woo himself.

If I rely too much on my summons, my skills would become rusty.

Being a necromancer means to avoid confrontation directly and keep as much distance as possible from the enemy. However, Jin Woo didn’t like the idea of not using his assassination abilities.

Because I was at the rock bottom, I longed for the highest place. I know the sadness of being weak more than anyone.

A knife with barely any magic power in it, but it was all I could afford.

If you understand his situation, you’d understand what Sung Jin Woo meant by this quote. By the end of the Manhwa, Sung Jin Woo’s daggers are among the strongest weapons in the series. But he started with a basic and powerless one.

Answer me, Sun Jinwoo, did you kill my brother and his teammates?

Sung – you can ask him when you see him again.

Gland for being the only one dying here? Stop lying to yourself! You liar. – To Himself.

A false realisation that if everyone else was saved but him. He would be glad. But in reality, he wasn’t! He convinced himself that he was not glad.

The system uses me, and I use the system.

This Sung Jin Woo quote is gonna break the system, that’s all I have to say!

Sung Jin Woo Sad quotes
Sung Jin Woo Sad quotes

At the ‘Gods’ dungeon, he was the last person thinking about his choices and regretting being weak. He let everyone go and remained inside the dungeon to be sacrificed as their saviour.

But soon realises that he was not meant to be sacrificed for someone else’s sake. He insisted on living and begged for another chance.

How much stronger do I have to get, to escape from my past as the weakest?

If it was me on his foot, I would’ve said the same thing. Because at this point, the only thing that meant anything to him was to get stronger and escape his weak self.

If you get bigger, you’ll just become an easier target.

A lesson to learn. And by the way, who do you think would win if Gojo and Sung Jin woo fought?

I’m being ignored because I’m weak.

Multiple times Sung Jin Woo was ignored, whether in missions or his daily life.

He who fights with monsters, should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss, also gazes into you!

The abyss quote, solo leveling Manhwa
The abyss quote, solo leveling Manhwa

Just amazing! This Manhwa panel was filled with thrill. And the quote goes beyond everything. Since their job is to deal with monsters, they must undergo certain agreements with themselves.

To make sure that they don’t slowly turn into monsters. Which most of them do. The longer they involve themselves with evil, the more the evil gets into them and slowly consumes them. Scary right?

It’s easy to get betrayed!

A short lesson for all of us, no matter how you play the game of life. Betrayal has no boundaries.

The job where your life’s on the line, the hunter. I’m not doing this because I like it.

Sung Jin Woo didn’t have any other option. His mother was hospitalized for the rest of her life, and he alone had to look after both his mother and his sister who went to school (later college).

Weakness isn’t something to brag about!

This quote will hurt you right where it pains. Most of us experienced people’s laugh when we failed at something just because we were weak.

There are always people to mock the weak. What’s necessary is to uplift the one who’s going through something like that.

How Could I Ever Tell Him… I Want You By My Side Until I Draw My Last Breath?”

Cha Hae In quotes

Even though it appeared as though Cha Have In had gotten somehow attracted towards Sung Jin Woo, fans weren’t aware about her desperate and true feelings about him. Ultimately, they do end up together and it’s an amazing ending!

‘STRENGTH’ a pressuring force squeezes your head, and can make you yield.

I need money for mom’s treatment. And to send my sister to college.

And that’s the reason he chose to become a hunter even though he had no strength to fight even the meager monsters.

I barely got my life back! You think I will cower in fear?

An opportunity that people in the real world strive for! To be awakened and have an opportunity to grow as strong as possible by completing tasks and Leveling up.

I’ve stood on the precipice of death plenty of time before. I’ve been attacked by E- rank beasts and spent weeks in the hospital afterward. I almost starved to death in a labyrinth before, too. No matter how low-ranked the dungeon was, I was always fighting for my life.

A person with zero combat experience and weak even for the lowest rank monsters. Sung Jin Woo had to go through a lot. Looking after his family without a real job and endangering his own life on every mission.

He always had to be protected, but no one ever attempted to, as a result, he faced several consequences and was severely injured in almost all of his missions.

Since I have a weapon, I’m not afraid anymore! There’s nothing to fear.

Just imagine, Sung didn’t even have enough to buy better equipment to ease his missions. The only dagger he could afford was broken.

But now that he had fine dager, he was unstoppable.

Even false hypocrisy won’t protect me.

The society was tr@sh and he just accepted it. He’s not benefitting anything by being polite and kind to everyone. It was time for him to unleash his true self and face the situation head-on.

Pure strength will overwhelm you. And fear will make your knees collapse and toes dig into the ground.

I can’t explain the Fear Sung is talking about. Because in our world, this kind of fear is almost non-existent.

But to them, it was something that made you forget everything and beg for mercy. It shattered all of their egos and got them to their knees.

In the end, a weapon will inevitably lose durability.

A weapon, though it may be powerful at its peak, there comes a moment when it ceases to perform its duty.

I’m always leveling up ceaselessly.

He’s speaking the truth! What would happen to those who level up with their every fight? That’s right, they’re unstoppable. And Solo Leveling is all about him going all the way to the top.

I’ve already died once before. If I die, I can’t protect those who I wish to protect. I will lose everything. I Can’t just keep my head down like a weakling.

He got the chance to be reborn. And it was no mere incident. Being able to get stronger with every fight was a dream come true for Sung Jin Woo. And the reason behind his clinging to life is that there are people who need him.

To his sister and mother, he was the only family. It was not just about money, but family.

And to protect those he loved, Sung needed to face challenge no matter how difficult, and get stronger.

I can’t see who’s the monster and who’s the human – c rank hunter.

In Solo Leveling Manhwa, Hunters not only defend their world from those alien monsters. There were some monsters in their world as well. The monster in this quote refers to Kang Taeshik.

Whatever happened here was an indication that in Solo Leveling or the story of our main character ‘Sung Jin Woo’ there are monsters not only from the outside but inside as well!

If I give up because I’m scared, I can’t become stronger.

A perfect Solo Leveling quote to use for your Instagram captions or bio.

Jin Woo Sung sure was a weakling, but he refused to remain weak forever.

“The commandments of the Cartenon Temple; 1. First revere God, 2. Second, praise God. 3. Third, prove your faith to God.” “Those who don’t follow these rules, will not leave alive.”

I enjoyed the way these commandments were drafted. The ‘Gods’ were a force to be reckoned with.

Let’s say I’m a hunter that grows stronger from each fight. How strong you think I can get?
Answer – Your shadow is connected to the darkness. You’ll become as strong as your shadow’s depth in the dark.

He didn’t realise the depth of his shadow, and that he was constantly gazing into the abyss.

I’ve endured being mocked, and put up with a life-threatening job, where the risks outweigh the result, but even then, in order to survive, I’ve learnt kept my eyes opened and look for opportunities.

He couldn’t do anything but get mocked. As a countermeasure, his only option was to get stronger.

He didn’t want to be a hunter whose life was at risk all the time. And faced several life-threatening situations. But Sung never gave up, instead he sought opportunities to improve and continue living.

I have to get stronger.

Even the weakest hunters are strong compared to normal humans. They are monsters themselves.

Because hunters are awakened beings in response to the dungeon gates that constantly appear at different locations.

The weaker you are, the faster you get thrown away, but if you’re strong, people will seek that strength.

One rule that heavily applies in the world of hunters is that strength determines their rank. The stronger the hunter the more attention, wealth, and charisma they get. And weak beings are constantly set aside.

If they say you’re useless or you get in the way, like a 🦎 lizard cutting it’s tail, you get cut away.

Sun Jin Woo never wanted to prove anything to anyone. He simply had a dream to live happily along with his family.

I don’t feel pressure that’s enough to bring me to my knees.

Solo Leveling is much more about strength than anything else. Dungeons and monsters were the means for Sung and the others to advance.

I became strong enough to not become intimidated in the face of a c-rank boss.

Even an e-rank monster did numbers on Sung Jin Woo. And a C-rank boss is 20 times stronger than those e-rankers. That’s what we call achievement!

False rankers are useless psychopaths who k!ll as their hobby.

Again, these false rankers are monsters themselves. Their main purpose isn’t to secure wealth and fame, instead, they seek pleasure in k!lling those monsters.

The basic of raiding is to exploit weak points.

Raiding and slaying monsters in the dungeons is not for beginners. The one at the top understands how things work.

It’s a given that I’ll be betrayed because I’m weak!

He remained weak, but only in disguise.

Why did I forget that? This place focuses on the survival of the fittest more than anywhere else.

A hunter’s job doesn’t guarantee one’s safety. It’s in the agreements that hunters are responsible for their actions. Everything that happened in the dungeon, remained in the dungeon. And several hunters took advantage of this rule to slay even their mates.

The system is forcing me to m{}rder.

The system uses him and he uses the system as an excuse to validate and justify his action.

The system used him as a weapon, and he used the system a shield.

K!ll if you don’t want to be k!lled? Wouldn’t it be awkward if I die? This isn’t a coincidence, neither goodwill. This is what the system needs.

If he fails the system, he loses his life. And just like that Sung Jin Woo continued to complete whatever tasks were assigned to him by the system. Although he agrees that it was no fair, he had not other option.

This is what the system needs. It’s not going to make me strong, I sow that it wanted me to be strong.



Sung realised that the system wasn’t helping him get stronger. It only paved the way for him to follow and realise his dream come true.

It provided him with a proper and perfect guide which included his daily life activities.

Below are some lines from Ashborn, The first Shadow Monarch:

“I Am The Record Of Your Struggles, The Evidence Of Your Resistance, And The Reward Of Your Sufferings. I Am Death, I Am Eternal Rest, I Am Terror.”

Ashborn
“I Am The Record Of Your Struggles, The Evidence Of Your Resistance" - Ashborn quotes
Ashbornquotes

If there’s anyone who knows Sung Jin Woo to his core, it would be Ashborn, the special creation of the Absolute being. He has been observing JinWoo ever since the latter was offered to be a player of the system.

Ashborn was a kind soul who was tired of countless battles that amounted to almost nothing. He decided to disobey the promise made to the Architect who designed the system, and passed all his powers down to JinWoo.


You played around with a person’s life, so are you ready to face the consequences?

Just another Sun Jin Woo quote about life.

If you guys are hunters, I’m saying you should be ready to become hunted.

As mentioned in this article earlier, hunters should be aware that their lives are always at risk.

If I don’t k!ll, I will be k!lled. I can’t run away anymore. If only the strong will survive.

The system won’t let Sung Jin Woo choose anything else. It’s do or die. We are used to seeing animes and manga where our main character fights through the Earth and heaven to save people.

But here in Solo Leveling, things work differently.

If you guys are hunters then try hunting. Hunters were made to hunt anyway.

They were made to hunt. But it was never classified what to hunt for. As it goes, inside a dungeon hunters can hunt for anything.

Three times! Are you asking for forgiveness from someone you tried to kill three times?

He was such a disappointment. Sung could have been beneficial to him if he played his cards wisely. But even after realising the difference between their powers, he insisted on taking him down.

There’s no difference between humans and monsters. They’re both insects. – Kang Taeshik

Kang didn’t care about the lives of those hunters. In his perspective, humans in Solo Leveling meant nothing more than an insect, and it was normal for them to die an insect’s death.

There’s no need to be shackled by laws or morals. The words of the strong are the law. — Kang Taeshik

Among the hunters’ community, the one with apex strength qualifies to be at the top and influence the decisions of the normal masses.

He was strong, but his faith led him to Sung Jin Woo, and his words meant nothing.

A babble mouth may be useless, but having a lot of secrets isn’t that great either. — Kang Taeshik

Sung Jin Woo surely knew how to keep getting stringer without letting anyone catch the wind of his unique awakening.

Unfortunately, there’s always limit to one’s strength.

The main character in Solo Leveling anime and manhwa, ‘Sung Jin Woo’ keeps getting stronger with every fight.

But that doesn’t guarantee him ‘Godhood’. There has to be a point where he reaches his maximum strength.

Hunters are those who witness countless deaths as well as take lives themselves. Because it’s usually a life or a death situation, they not only fight against monsters, but amongst themselves as well.

Hunters are also responsible for their choices. Not everyone can choose between what’s right and wrong.

To be honest, you got hurt so much it became preety annoying. I thought you were stupid and vain at times. But, you always managed to survive. Those eyes, brimming with life, seemed like they were screaming for survival… For tomorrow… – Lee JooHee to Sung Jin Woo

Judging by the appearance of the series, JooHee might eventually end up with Sung. She had been very supportive and caring towards him as if Sung meant something to her.

Sung Jin Woo quotes about the system;

  • The system uses me, and I use the system.
  • This is what the system needs. It’s not going to make me strong, I sow that it wanted me to be strong.
  • K!ll if you don’t want to be k!lled? Wouldn’t it be awkward if I die? This isn’t a coincidence, neither goodwill. This is what the system needs.

Thomas Andre quotes from Solo Leveling:

  • Well, being a little frustrated is better than being dead, I’m sure! – Thomas Andre
  • Everything that makes your heart beat faster is beautiful. – Thomas Andre

Is there any life quote in Solo Leveling?

There are many life related quotes in this manga, for example, “The job where your life’s on the line, the hunter. I’m not doing this because I like it.” “You played around with a person’s life, so are you ready to face the consequences?”

Where do I get Solo leveling captions?

Here in this post, you’ll find many Solo Leveling quotes that are suitable to use for your Instagram captions. For example, “Unfortunately, there’s always limit to one’s strength.” “I don’t feel pressure that’s enough to bring me to my knees.”

Why is Solo leveling so popular?

The manga clearly describes the true potential of it’s protagonist without involving much efforts from the supporting characters.

Most of the leading Mangas included a wide range of impact from its overall set of characters, however, Solo Leveling provides a unique experience where the primary focus is Sung Jin Woo in his journey to becoming the strongest from being the weakest hunter in South Korea.

Conclusion:

In summary, “Solo Leveling” is a fascinating story that skillfully combines fantasy, adventure, and character development. The series’ world-building is out of the box.

Although it’s not like we haven’t seen anything similar to Solo Leveling before, there are still certain things which separate this Manhwa from the rest.

What I like the most is the emphasis laid on strengths and weaknesses. The early phase of the story beautifully portrays the difference which occurs in the society due to weaknesses and being at the lower level.

The main character Sung Jin Woo is like an idol to the youth. Most of us do love the way he makes decisions which were necessary for his survival by constantly Leveling up and upholding responsibilities all the same.

Self-improvement is another theme of this series where the protagonist focuses deeply on groth and development as it turned out to be the only thing necessary to keep him going.

I hope you enjoyed these Solo Leveling quotes from both the manga and anime.
