A few days after the release of the new manga that caused a huge sensation, Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken, on a small island in the new world near Hunters Island, Ring Hell Island:
"Kishishish!" A black mist appeared, sending a chilling sensation across the land and then taking the form of Gecko Moria with his lascivious smile.
"Did you bring my volume, Absalom?" Moria returned to his summer seat, reclined, put on his sunglasses, and prepared to enjoy his time before diving into the challenging mission that awaited him.
Nothing is more important than Solo Leveling when it's time! That's Gecko Moria's motto.
"Of course, my lord! The Hunter's Guild doesn't forbid people from entering the art store. In their eyes, I'm just a kid, so it's easy to get everything I want from the art store there."
Absalom took out the new Solo Leveling volume titled 'Retesting Rank Arc' and respectfully placed it in front of his captain.
"Kishishishishi! Excellent! It's time to take my monthly dose of the best manga ever. Neither One Piece nor Bleach nor that Slime trash can compare!"
As soon as he got his hands on the volume, Moria opened it quickly.
He temporarily put aside his plan to infiltrate the central prison's cell to rescue Dr. Hogback.

"It's the end of the world. Hunters are a problem." Assistant Manager Jung sighed while watching the disastrous outcome of the hunters' battle in the USA.
"Assistant Manager Jung. A hunter came by," the female employee said upon seeing Jin Woo's arrival.
Hearing that, Assistant Manager Jung whispered in her ear, "Every once in a while, there are hunters who come by after not being able to accept reality and becoming deluded."
"Then that man as well?" she asked.
"It'll be a pain in the ass, so just explain that he has to cover the cost and send him to the re-evaluation room."
(His name is.... Where…) After seeing Sung Jinwoo's name, Assistant Manager Jung remembered something important. He quickly contacted the White Tiger Guild's master.
"Yes, this is Baek Yoon-Ho," Baek Yoon-Ho answered on the other side.
"Ah, Master Baek. It's about the hunter you spoke about before. He really came."
"He's over there?" exclaimed Baek Yoon-Ho.
"Yes, he just applied," replied Assistant Manager Jung. "Hunter Sung Jin-Woo came to get his rank re-evaluated," he added.
"I will guide you." The employee pointed to Jinwoo with a friendly smile on her face.
"Yes," Jinwoo nodded.

"Why did the first chapter of the volume end so quickly!" exclaimed Moria.
"Moria-sama, you read it quickly; take your time—"
"Silence! Do you dictate to me how to read!?"
"No, Moria-sama, I didn't mean to offend—"
Absalom thought he was in trouble, but quickly saw that Moria had already refocused on the manga's events and began reading again.
"I'm eager to see people's reactions to the new S-rank appearance in their country..."
"S-rank in the world of Solo Leveling is equivalent to an Admiral or a legendary hunter in our world... That's truly immense power..."
"Look, this poor man just wants a C-rank to change his life for the better; it seems he lost custody of his daughter at some point..."
"Rank will change the lives of many... That's what Jinwoo is thinking right now..."
"Yes, in the world of Solo Leveling, rank depends on the amount of magical power in the body. They can't raise their rank; this means they'll remain at the same level of strength they woke up to forever..."
"That's right. Unlike our world, hunters can level up after training their bodies to surpass their previous Doriki strength, or developing their Devil Fruit powers to perfection, or honing their physical skills or swordsmanship and raising their Haki level. This is better and more diverse than just magical power."
With each new volume released, discussions about the power issue become more intense among fans and readers. This is happening right now, with everyone having their own perspective.
Rob wanted to see this kind of discussion more than anything else because this is what can elevate the world's power level to a higher level.
"Fufufu, this is where the difference between us and them lies. I've noticed this in many other worlds; all of them have weak bodies that don't evolve, unlike us... Here, anyone can become a ranked power by training a little and breaking their human limits."
Doflamingo had broken his physical boundaries a long time ago, already reaching the peak of A-rank under Rob's supervision. The moment he could defeat the tenth-ranked S-list, he would rise directly to the level of a legendary hunter.
But crossing that threshold in a short period is not easy at all.
"What is this black crystal, I wonder? Is this what they measure magical power with?" Rosinante wondered curiously.
"Let's bet; that crystal ball will shatter when Jinwoo touches it," Enel said mockingly.
"Oh, what a spectacular reaction! Fufufu~ But it didn't shatter as expected; it couldn't even measure his magical power. Look, it showed the result as: ERROR." said Doffy.
