Welcome Ashborn. Sung Jinwoo wins after he completes the hard job-change task in Solo Leveling Episode 12. He recruits Blood-Red Knight Commander Igris. The gears of fate begins to turn.
Sung Jinwoo is exhausted and he’s in danger. He cannot use all his abilities and he loses his teleportation stone. But he doesn’t want to give up. He gets up and he kills two knights. But he actually doesn’t have power to kill the enemies in front of him. Will Sung Jinwoo lose his life there?
He stands up and he resists. He won’t be helpless to close his eyes and pray to God again. He doesn’t want to be a weak person at the bottom. He will choose to face all hardship. Opening the path with his hands in person. He will never give up the eager climbing to the top.
His hands are bloodied and his eyes are blurry. He still remembers the mock. It’s like nightmare tangling him. The pain of the knight hits him cannot compare with the mental irritating. The title of the weakest hunter is his shadow.
He doesn’t wish anyone to mention it. The gentle comfort of someone else is exacerbation. He doesn’t need those people’s hypocritical sympathy. The last straw that breaks the camel’s back coming. The past self appears in front of Sung Jinwoo.
He questions him why he doesn’t give up. He thinks he should be satisfied with it because he’s just an E-Rank hunter. The past phantom laughs gloomy. He thinks Sung Jinwoo isn’t like him because he’s very strong. But he tells him that his inside is very weak.
The phantom disappears. Sung Jinwoo returns to reality. He’s cut down by the knight. The phantom appears again when Sung Jinwoo falls down. He mocks him and he thinks he overestimates his capabilities. Sung Jinwoo tries to refute. But he’s pressed on the ground by the knight and he gets beaten.
The voice doesn’t stop when Sung Jinwoo is in a trance. He tells him that he was the one who put himself at the death place. Sung Jinwoo’s heart is moved. He wonders if he’s never changed. But the system’s tip page wakes him up.
He has gotten stronger after the daily task restrained him. He doesn’t expect that the daily task he forgot to complete saves him. The knight tries to kill Sung Jinwoo. But the guy disappears. Sung Jinwoo is out of the job-change task. He’s in punishment area. He was saved by the punishment teleportation mechanism.
Sung Jinwoo decides to catch the chance whether the system intended to help him or not. He opens the system and he buys a potion. He reduces his fatigue instantly. He tries to drink the life potion. But the system disallows him to do that.
The magic beasts appear. Sung Jinwoo kills the enemies. He opens the shop and he finds a weapon “Knight Killer”. He buys the weapon and he uses the reward after he killed Igris. Ruler’s Hand, the ability doesn’t spend Sung Jinwoo’s MP.
It helps Sung Jinwoo take a stuff in distance. Sung Jinwoo remembers Igris used it when he fought with him. He thinks the skill is good. He tries to lift a magic beast’s dead body in distance. But he fails because his level is too low.
Sung Jinwoo returns to the job-change task. He finds out that the knights are waiting for him. He thinks the knights cannot defeat him because he owns the sword “Knight Killer”. Sung Jinwoo has time to look around because he doesn’t have the pressure of survival.
He thinks it won’t help at all to kill the little magic breasts. He finds out that the mages act weird in the knight group. They used magic but Sung Jinwoo wasn’t hurt. He realizes that the mages have summoned the knights. He will pass the game if he kills the mages.
Sung Jinwoo realizes who’s the real enemy. He casts his knife to the mage. The mage falls down. Her knights pass away as well. The huge eye in the air represents the peeping of mage. Sung Jinwoo kills two mages. The other three mages come to their senses.
They change their tactics and they summon a golem. But the golem is clumsy even if he’s huge. Sung Jinwoo cuts off the chandelier and he restricts the golem’s movements. More importantly, the mages hid in the group and Sung Jinwoo could find them. But they become lively targets now.
Sung Jinwoo kills the mages. But the golem doesn’t stop attacking Sung Jinwoo. Sung Jinwoo blocks the golem’s attack and he smashes him. The system informs Sung Jinwoo that he completed the job-change task perfectly. Sung Jinwoo is given a new job “necromancer”. He will get an army that only follows his orders.
He doesn’t want to get the job. Because he wants to be a fighter. The system gives him a choice to reject. But he persuades him that necromancer is a hidden job. He asks him if he really wants to give it up. Sung Jinwoo wonders if he will miss something if he gives up the job.
He realizes that he can let his army level up with him. He thinks he will be invincible. So he chooses to change his job. The black power gets into Sung Jinwoo’s body. He becomes Shadow Monarch. He wonders if the job-change task ends.
He looks around and he sees the black power from the armors of the knights. He hears the knights’ lament. The knights try to tell their sadness to him. The system informs Sung Jinwoo that he can use the skill “Shadow extraction” on the knights.
Sung Jinwoo is asked to set up the extraction order. He says arise. The shadow army approaches him. He’s surprised that the skill is so powerful. He realizes that he can use the skill on the knight commander. He walks to Igris and he tries to turn him into a shadow general.
But Igris resists it. Sung Jinwoo wonders if he has to give up Igris. He asks the knight commander if he’s waiting for the king who doesn’t know when he will be back. He thinks the eager in his heart is to kill enemies. He asks him if he actually wishes his swords to decay at the throne.
