Summary of Solo Leveling Manhwa Chapter 162
Chapter 162 begins with Beru and Igris reporting from the moon—what they found is a dormant consciousness buried under the surface. Jin-Woo joins them and discovers a crystallized being referred to as “The Witness,” a relic from the time before the rulers and monarchs. It speaks in broken thoughts, warning of “The First Cycle,” a version of existence older than known history. Back on Earth, hunters begin exhibiting unstable powers, and some even awaken unprompted. Jin-Woo realizes remnants of the broken System are leaking into reality. The chapter’s cosmic mystery and tension foreshadow an ancient force reawakening. As Earth drifts into a new age of evolution, Jin-Woo realizes his next role may be not protector—but regulator of new gods.
