<strong>Chapter 1: Game Summary</strong>
<em>Solo Leveling: Arise</em> is a free-to-play action RPG where players control Sung Jinwoo, leveling up as a hunter. The game loop involves clearing story chapters, farming Gates for resources, upgrading Hunters and Shadows via gacha, and battling in PvE/PvP. Players join events, summon Shadows with “Arise!”, and tackle raids like Jeju Island for rewards.

<strong>Chapter 2: My First 5 Hours</strong>
In your first 5 hours of <em>Solo Leveling: Arise</em>, you’ll dive into Sung Jinwoo’s journey from the weakest hunter to a powerhouse. The tutorial introduces fast-paced combat, guiding you through early story chapters in Seoul, wielding Jinwoo’s dagger skills. You’ll clear Gates to farm Traces of Shadow, unlocking Igris as your first Shadow. Spend time upgrading Jinwoo’s skills and pulling Hunters like Cha Hae-In via Custom Draw Tickets. Experiment with Shadow synergies, pairing Igris with a fire Hunter for buffs. Redeem code SLA1ST for Draw Tickets to boost pulls. Try the 1st Anniversary pre-registration event (ongoing Apr. 2025) for a free costume. Key experiences include summoning your first Shadow with “Arise!” and defeating a Gate boss, setting the stage for epic raids and team-building.
