A Recap for New Hunters: Clearing the Dreaded Temple

For those unfamiliar with solo leveling, here's a quick recap: 

17 Hunters, including Jin-Woo, enter a D-level dungeon for clearance. But their adventure takes a twist as they stumble upon another dungeon hidden within. Jin Woo ultimately gave his life to save the lives of the other five. As Jin Woo was about to pass away, he saw a message similar to a game notification telling him that he needed to accept him as a player. After that, he will be assigned tasks and quests to finish, which will allow him to level up and gain more power. Because Jin Woo is the only person in this universe who can level up and others are unable to do so, that’s why the name of the anime is Solo Leveling. Because in the world of solo leveling, after a person's powers are awakened, they become Hunters and are assigned a rank based on their abilities. This rank is assigned to them for the rest of their lives. Considering that he is unable to power up,. He can utilize stronger weapons and develop his talents, but he is not able to significantly boost his power.

Who are the Absolute Being and the Architect?

If you've watched the first two episodes of Solo Leveling, you might have noticed the emphasis on a specific statue: the one on the throne, sporting a creepy smile. This statue was an almost perfect replica of the Absolute Being. Absolute Being is the most powerful and supreme being in the universe of Solo Leveling. No one is more powerful than him. But it's crucial to remember that this statue doesn't possess the Absolute Being's true strength.

Who made the Cartenon Temple?

Again, if you watched the anime closely, there was Another statue with wings holding a tablet inscribed with the rules for escaping the dungeon. This is none other than the architect, the mastermind behind the Cartenon Temple. The architect was the person who made and designed the Cartenon Temple. His purpose? To find a human capable of inheriting the Shadow Monarch's ultimate powers.

The Shadow Monarch: From Herald to Powerhouse

The Shadow Monarch was once a mighty Herald, but circumstances led him to join the Monarchs. From that point on, he was called the Shadow Monarch. In the beginning, only the Absolute Being, light, and darkness existed. The Absolute Being created eight Heralds of Light and eight Monarchs of Darkness. But they always fight with each other. There was a most powerful Herald among all of them named Ashborn. However, because of some causes, people got him really injured, prompting him to join the Monarchs, and Ashborn was then called as Shadow Monarch. If there is anyone who is most powerful after the Absolute Being that is the Shadow Monarch.

Why Cartenon Temple Was Made: Finding a Worthy Successor

Cartenon Temple was constructed to find a suitable vessel for the Shadow Monarch's immense power. This is because no ordinary human could handle such enormous strength. To identify a capable human, the Architect, a formal royal sorcerer, made a deal with the Shadow Monarch: to find a perfect human vessel for him with the potential to inherit his powers.

The Architect devised a system with the help of that system, he could find a physically superior, mentally strong, and more mana-sensitive human. But Shadow Monarch wants a person who's not so strong, rather a person who faces death many times. That person was our main character and the weakest Hunter Jin Woo, constantly injured during dungeon clearing missions. Jin-Woo unknowingly became the chosen one, the inheritor of the Shadow Monarch's power.

Leveling Up: A Game-like System for Power

But why Architect made a leveling system? Because Jin Woo was so weak that he could not inherit all the power of the Shadow Monarch at once; otherwise, he would die instantly. So that’s why Architect made a system in which Jin Woo can become stronger. By completing tasks, quests, and slaying monsters, Jin Woo gradually acquires fragments of the Shadow Monarch's power, growing stronger with each level. The Architect designed this system like a gaming interface, something humans are more familiar with. Essentially, Jin-Woo becomes a player within this system, tasked with completing quests and killing monsters to gain experience points and level up, absorbing the Shadow Monarch's power and becoming increasingly powerful.

Proving Allegiance: The Rules and Jin-Woo's Transformation

Remember the rules inscribed on the Architect's tablet? "Worship the God, praise the God, and prove your allegiance." This served as a test for Jin-Woo during his time within the temple. Not only did he decode the rules, but more importantly, he demonstrated immense courage by sacrificing himself for others. This fulfilled the test, making him a player and the inheritor of the Shadow Monarch's power. As he leveled up and his strength grew, he transformed from a weak Hunter into a potential successor to a divine inheritance.

Conclusion:

Solo Leveling takes Cartenon Temple beyond the normal definition of a dungeon. It functions as a platform for storytelling, a platform for struggles for power, and a metaphorical fire for reflection. Understanding its complexity improves our admiration for the narrative's ideas and Jin-Woo's amazing transformation. Have you come across Cartenon Temple in your Solo Leveling adventures?
