This article contains spoilers from the Solo Leveling manhwa.

In Solo Leveling, Sung Jin-Woo is known to fight his battles alone. Fans are aware that Jin-Woo prefers to do everything by himself, refusing another hunter to fight by his side. At this point, he is already a one-man army, capable of raiding dungeons and completing boss fights with his formidable shadow army instead of relying on a strike team, after all.

However, Solo Leveling Season 3 will shake things up, humbling Sung Jin-Woo by giving him an unexpected ally who’s two or three times stronger than him. For the first time, Jin-Woo will face a character so powerful that instead of fighting against them, he must accept them as an ally.

Hunter guilds are competing just to recruit Sung Jin-Woo, who is now known as the strongest hunter in Korea after his phenomenal display of power in the fourth Jeju Island raid. Everyone wants Jin-Woo, with guild masters going above and beyond to lure him into their ranks, offering him unimaginable compensation and even leadership positions. However, it won’t be easy to sway Jin-Woo, as he values his independence above all else.

Jin-Woo has proven how convenient it is to rely solely on himself and his shadow army in Solo Leveling Season 2. Instead of teaming up with a strike team during a dungeon crawl, he can clear gates entirely on his own, summoning his shadows when necessary. His shadows act according to his will with absolute obedience, carrying out his commands without fear and hesitation.

While Jin-Woo found a trusted ally in Yoo Jin-Ho, he knows there are limits to how much Jin-Ho can contribute to combat. Instead of risking the life of his only friend, he takes it upon himself to face the deadliest battles alone. Besides, fighting alone gives Jin-Woo more experience points, which he needs to reach higher levels. The stronger he becomes, the more difficult it is to farm levels, especially if another hunter is fighting with him.

Solo Leveling Season 3 is shaping up to be an exciting chapter in Sung Jin-Woo's rise to power, as the story begins to unveil the identity of the Shadow Monarch, Ashborn. Manhwa fans know how Ashborn has chosen Jin-Woo from the very beginning, manipulating events behind the scenes so that Jin-Woo could grow strong enough to inherit his full power. Long story short, without Ashborn, Jin-Woo wouldn’t stand where he is now.

For context, Ashborn is one of the Monarchs, but unlike the others who sought destruction, he wants to stop the never-ending war between the Monarchs and the Rulers. Instead of taking over Jin-Woo's body and helping the Monarchs, he decides to entrust his power and title to Jin-Woo, betraying his comrades, including the creator of the System. By doing this, Jin-Woo realizes that Ashborn saw something in him that no one else did.

I am saying, you should be ready to get hunted.—Sung Jin-Woo

Before Jin-Woo even became a powerful hunter, Ashborn had already set his sights on him. He recognized Jin-Woo's potential hidden underneath his weak E-rank status, even if the creator of the System refuses to acknowledge him. From day one, Ashborn has been with Jin-Woo, making him the ultimate ally who never wavered in his belief that Jin-Woo was destined for greatness.

Inheriting the full power of the Shadow Monarch, Ashborn, won’t be an easy responsibility, since it ties Jin-Woo directly to the long conflict between the Rulers and the Monarchs. It forces him to embrace his role as the new Shadow Monarch, whose power comes with sacrifices that go beyond the battlefield. Yes, Jin-Woo becomes more powerful, but the burden on his shoulders grows heavier.

But before Jin-Woo can inherit Ashborn’s full power, he will face difficult challenges that come with his role as the Shadow Monarch’s successor. Not only will Jin-Woo fight the rest of the Monarchs, but he will also face the Rulers, who also want him dead. All of these events are likely to occur in Solo Leveling Season 3, but for now, nothing has been confirmed, so fans will have to stay tuned for more updates.
