Sung Jin Woo's TRUE IDENTITY Revealed—Who is Ashborn & Why Can His Power Level Up? | Solo Leveling

after solo levelings intro you're all probably wondering what happened to Jin Vu is he a monster is he a human is he an angel even his girlfriend can't smell a stinky stench from him unlike a regular Hunter so k s Jin Vu be the allegation that he isn't the destined one unlike every other shown in carot is the answer a no he is built different B he has the Demon King inside of him C he has a monarch inside which of course is totally different from a demon king or D well it's all of it

Jin Vu is the vessel chosen by the most powerful being in existence the Angelic greatest fragment of brilliant light the king of dead the shadow Monarch himself ashborn right from the moment he died ashborn came and said arise he selected jinu a suitable host to unlock his broken Powers into until well he would take over the boy's body when he reached Lev level 100 Jin vu's fate began thousands of years before he even existed back when a deity called the absolute being ruled the world alone where light and darkness was all that existed but once

bro got bored he splited apart creating two races with eight emissaries made out of the fragments of light and eight monarchs made out of the darkness the emissaries are pretty much like Angels loyal and subservient to the Creator with the purpose to protect the world whilst the monarchs can be seen as demons made to destroy the world however this means that the two races are in a constant NeverEnding War the Angels had their army made up of silver Knights whilst the Monarch being Kings of the respective field had their who were known as denisons of

chaos basically all of the magical beasts we see in the dungeon so eons later getting tired of war the Angels pleaded to the absolute being for help only to be ignored now if any of you have been left on red or your DMs have been a then you can relate to these guys bro please bro why you they started losing this more importantly they realized that the absolute being just wanted them to fight and watch this chaos for his Amusement so the Angels staged a coup to kill him now if you're wondering how someone can

kill their maker yeah well you know how AI is going to Doom us all and kill its creators well it's the same concept ter but honestly you know what I'm thinking bleach Soul King rings a bell he copy my whole flow in fact after killing him these angels changed the title to become rulers and then used tools containing fragments of the absolute being's power to hunt down the monarchs and were even able to capture one of the giant Monarch alive tipping the tide of war in their favor giving them a solid shot towards Victory however

amongst the Angels one stood in the way ashborn he was still loyal to his creator and fought against his own kind leading to his death but since he had been so loyal the absolute being had placed the fail switch into him rewarding ashborn with a power beyond anyone's imagination the ability to rule over the Territory called Death how if you're questioning why the heck did an absolute being just do that to himself well listen he's not all powerful like most depiction of a Creator is he's like you know a human being that invented a nuke

he can't be the nuke but he can use the nuke and he can give other people to use the n in this case ashborn who had just become more powerful than any ruler or any Monarch after Reviving as an undead ashborne moured the death of his master by ripping out his wings to then cloaking himself in Shadow in Pursuit for Revenge ashon proceeded to build his shadow Shadow Army using the dead Denis of the chaos World along with some of the silver soldiers this is when he took his title as a monarch joining the other

seven in their goals to defeat the rulers however the dark side was even better at the art of betrayal yep these BOS instead of choosing victory over aon's long War decides to stab him in the back well at least two of them did this was because after seeing Ash born's ability they were like damn no man alone should have this much power this led to ashborne getting guned but that didn't do much because he ended up killing one of them weakening the monarchs heavily but with Ash borne's Shadow Army in Ruins he was put at

death doors once again by the rulers however this time around they didn't kill him rather they requested forgiveness asking ashon to stop fighting them after all they were all made from the same cloth ashborne reluctantly agreed and decided to go into hiding with the monarchs on the back foot the rulers became confident in their Victory little did they know that the monarchs were plotting their Revenge choosing to buy their time and launch Another War on a new Battlefield Earth the rulers couldn't just sit by of course and after a couple of redos using some Godly

hacks they decided to reset Time 10 years back and let humans borrow their power whilst the Monarch started to possess them completely however mind you along with ashborne the most power powerful and oldest anterus the king of dragons and the monarch of Destruction couldn't find a host on Earth to hold them and since neither of these Divine beings could exist as themselves on Earth the shadow Monarch had to find a human suitable as a vessel however this couldn't be any random person after all ashborn was the most powerful who controlled the domain of death itself

such immense strength would break someone's body and soul apart so ashborne is a approached by a mage known as the architect who had the means to do what ashborne needed find a human capable of holding his power thus they struck a deal the architect would ensure to create a game likee system to help the host gradually get stronger through their mind body and soul this concept was actually inspired by the Angels who had opened dungeons on Earth so that the humans that were chosen to be Hunters could train and be prepared for the oncoming threat

of the monarchs but the architect rather than applying it to the human species as a whole you know he applied it specifically to one individual son Jing Wu this is why the system had levels that kept on testing and improving all kinds of abilities of the chosen human giving Jin Vu access to parts of the Shadow Mon's power level by level ashon promised the architect that he would Grant him immortality for the help once he had taken over that human's body however when Jin Ru crossed level 100 that did not happen and there's a the

huge reason behind it but first you might be wondering ABD why was jinu even chosen I mean he was known as the weakest hunter in the world his body wasn't strong neither did he have any impressive magical Talent yeah that's pretty sad when we think about it jinu was the most unsuitable person for this job going against all criterias even the rulers carefully selected humans with huge pool of talent and strength to make them Hunters such as chairman go guni then why jinu well the answer lies in the fact that the shadow Monarch is also

the king of death being the weakest hunter in existence Jin Ru was someone who had experienced death up close the most more than anyone else on Earth since he barely had any skills he was expected to die any time and in any dungeon despite that he had survived for an incredibly long time based on his Sher will to live and Achieve his goals even though Jin Vu saw himself as the most useless Hunter he kept going on raids risking his life day in and day out just so his sister could go to college and his

mother's hospital bill could be taken care of what a good boy therefore he had what most humans lack a strong mentality moreover Jin Vu might not had the physical skill to show for it but he possessed a massive amount of intellect just think about it during the first double dungeon not only did he remain calm instead of the strongest Hunters on the raid but he also managed to crack the code to survive if we consider the powers of ashborn most of them including his most OP Shadow can only be used effectively when the user is

smart and capable of thinking on his feet for example in the demon Castle jinu needs to scour entire City's worth of space to find monsters that drops entry permit for him to progress so he chooses to divide his army he creates six units led by his most most powerful and competent Shadows to search the area for him like boy this helped him climb the tower faster than chaan was trying to climb his in a war where you have to command units is not physical strength that matters but your big brain however was simply defying death

really enough of a reason to justify just how hard the system was working to keep Jin Vu alive no of course not during his fight with cus jinu noticed that as he is put in danger the system will activate abilities like tenac in order to ensure he can keep going in fact the system sets up quest to push him into making choices that leads him overcoming difficult situations like killing a human for the first time when he was in danger well the effort of the system starts making a lot more sense when we begin learning

about ashborne specifically we can look back at the moment where Xin Wu was chosen in the double dungeon it was Jin Wu who solved each riddle associated with the Commandments and managed to keep the others alive it was Jin Wu's Ingenuity and ability to keep calm when facing death that allowed him to finally be helpful on a raid however regardless of how useful he was the others Hunters still betrayed and abandoned him on the altar this is exactly the same as ashborne joining the monarchs and trying to help them stop the rulers only to be

betrayed by those he saved when the Beast and the White Flame Monarch turned on him further more in his fight with kasaka Jin Vu came face to face with his own weakness and began to understand understand how his powerlessness allowed those around him to betray him he started to believe that if he could become more powerful then he would never be betrayed again a mindset that ashborn definitely understood the system was going out of his way to keep jinu alive because he was the perfect candidate to ashborne someone who shared the same fears mentality and

aspirations in a way that stronger Hunters could never understand later when he's tested by the architect jinu is is shown visions of Ash borne's past and as he and the shadow Monarch began to sink with each other a black heart emerges in jinu's chest originally this was supposed to be the moment where ashborne takes over Jin ru's body however I don't believe that he actually wanted that the reason being that the black heart was the prerequisite to activating a hidden skill within the system like why would Jin Ru still keep gaining levels and skills off

to level 100 if the plan was for ashon to take over by then well because ashborne never intended to revive the system was created in a way where even after the architect died it would keep on working the only reason for this would be that the power source for it was ashborne himself and his will had taken over it ever since the betrayals ashborn had become completely aimless especially after the Angels had apologized ashborn didn't know his purpose and lost his desire to keep on living so instead he sees Jin Vu not as a vessel

but as a successor however this was not a fate that he wanted to force on Jin Vu and this is where the hidden skill comes in when jinu eventually gets killed by the frost and Beast Monarch he creates an illusionary world where he wakes up in the past right after the double dungeon this time though he keeps all 146 levels skills item and knowledge of the future it's an opportunity for him to live forever in a perfect dream but eventually he's confronted by ashborne and is given a choice he can either stay here or be

reborn into the real world continuing the fight ultimately Jin Vu chooses to resurrect himself by saying arise he then truly becomes the shadow Monarch this might sound familiar because ashborn was also killed before realizing his ability to resurrect himself as the shadow Monarch now that Jin Vu had become the true Monarch he gained access to all of Ash Bone's ability as well as his shadow Army and by making use of those he managed to finally take down anterus the monarch of Destruction leading to the rulers rewarding him with a wish where Jin Ru chooses to

turn back time and have the rulers never come to Earth with the powers he had gained now he planned to take on the monarchs by himself so that the rulers and the gates would not be necessary however after he succeeds in defeating the monarchs again he finds himself in a very interesting position being an all powerful de like Shadow mon KN in a world with no need of him and so just like ashborn before him he begins questioning his place in the world but jinu had something that ashborne never did and chooses to stick around

with the people he loves and of course ones who love him like CH Hae and his family which leads him in his own successor in his son song suu If you guys enjoyed this video and wanted to cover more solo leveling then smash the like button H the notification Bell and don't forget to watch this video next where you can learn about every time jinu leveled up
