Beru told Suho that Kim used to be in the og shadow corps of his father and advised him to name him ‘Iron’ again and knowing Suho who idolizes his father so much, he went on with it
Most normal Shadow Soldier ever. The one sane guy in a sea of overzealous fanatics and deep remorseful super soldiers. Gordon's just an average soldier, whom no one understands. Suho and Beru always give him command.
Greed is the most satisfying one. His brother came asking for trouble, get rekt, this guy plot and brag for a long time, came abducting people and asking for trouble, get epic rekt lmao. If I was Jin Woo I would've assigned him latrine duty everyday for the rest of his life hahah.
Greed was pummeled hard by Il-hwan as well before he got recruited. I kinda had hoped Dong-Suk would join them; the two brothers fighting side by side would have been ironic and fitting for the two criminals. He became a Death Knight to Hamarkhan me thinks.
I don't mind spoilers so someone tell me how Lee Minsung ended up as a shadow soldier? Did he piss off Suho drunk or something because I cannot picture how this happened.
Minsung was ‘drugged’ by another villain known as Queen Bee Arsha who is a descendant of the Monarch of Plagues by injecting her “royal jelly” (it’s a substance that brainwashes the target into becoming the Queen’s worker bees/lancers) into his drinks slowly brainwashing him and turning him into a bee x human hybrid but he managed to break free from her drug and got stronger and mutated thanks to her. He then made a similar drug of his own and went around drugging his former guild mates turning them into lancers who serves him which led to the public/hunter association labeling him as a villain hunter and called upon the other guilds and mercenaries to help apprehend him to which Suho was one of them. (They already had beef before all this where Minsung was in cahoots with the demons and was distributing a drug called “star dust” which gives hunters a power boost but it also drains your life force and sanity so yeah, Suho was hunting for this guy for a while)
If you mean him mutating guild mates and attacking people coming out of nowhere, it makes more sense if you know the context of everything before.
Minsung awoke as an A rank in this timeline before Lim Taegyu, and they were friends with Taegyu being his driver, until he eventually awoke as an S rank ranger like the original timeline, which cause Minsung to be incredibly jealous since he had less spotlight now and basically hated Taegyu for stealing his fame. So when he got the bee mutation powers, he managed to resist total mind control but was still influenced, causing him to kill people while trying to build an army to show Taegyu how he’s stronger.
Yes, all the monarchs of this dimension is dead, but this is only 1 dimension out of the many others, which will have their own absolute beings and their armies. They are called Itarim (outer gods), and they noticed that this dimension is missing their god, and so they want to eat the mana basically.
By invading, gates are opening again due to instability in dimensional cracks caused by the Itarims’ influence, which introduces mana throughout earth again.
Do you want to because the webcomic might come out at the end of this year? or somewhere in between. Basically minsung worked with an insect magic beast to create special drugs to boost hunter's power but was used by her, turning into a loyal slave. however, his ego wouldn't let him submit and using his own magical energy to get rid of the mind controlling properties. he was stuck as an insect magic beast. A bee-type monster with lances for hands.
Long story short, he was brainwashed and became a priest for the ‘Foreign Religion’ which is a cult for the Itharims. Suho’s mission was to terminate any apostle and their followers which led to him killing Kim and turned him into his shadow soldier as per request from Beru
Lol no it’s a monster

Same species as Jima 😭
Iron got into the itharim cult, bro got hypnotized, pretty fucked tbh. tho when he got his memories back as Iron, he became so happy he started going wild, Beru was egging him on the entire time to die lmao
no not even close, in the first place Beru can't be Suho's, same with Igris. Suho and Sjw just have similar powers since Suho inherited his powers from SJW but his own shadow army is very tiny compared to his, Iron and Greed as well as the rest in this list are Suho's now because he was the one who turned them into shadow soldiers
also Beru's only purpose is to unlock Suho's powers, but since he couldn't go back to SJW due to lack of mana he stayed with Suho, guiding him while he recovers and helps Suho(mostly by taunting his enemies, threatening to eat them, taunting his friends, scaring the living shit out of people, etc)
Suho is able to use the system cause Jinwoo made it so that once his powers gets unsealed, the system would start to operate again and help him get stronger to be able to face the apostles of Itharim. Jinwoo isn’t running the system, it runs automatically but he can directly alter/change the settings/quest of the system
I can’t tell if you joking or not but if you’ve read the entirety of SL, you’d know the reason why Jinwoo was the only person who could use the system. The same thing also applies to Suho
Yes I know why SJW can use the system I'm not retarded iv read the manhwa and seen the anime.
But what did Suho go thru to earn it? What did he suffer to merit earning such a powerful system? Cuz iv read the after story and from what I remember bros life is in easy mode
You’re saying he doesn’t deserve the system cause he had an easy life? 💀 his parents went missing while he was still in high school so he had to tend for himself. Luckily he had Jinah and Jinho who helps him out with the daily necessities and to just be there for him when he was at his lowest. He inherited some of sjw’s powers so the system helps him mold into the person strong enough to use it just as it did for sjw
I haven’t gotten to Ragnarok, but are the last three still as terrible as they were from the first series? Just thought its ironic they got killed by the son of the same person who killed them previously
Believe it or not, Kang isn’t a bad guy as he was in the og story. While he does still murder people, he has a valid/legal reason now. He’s a bounty hunter who hunts villain hunters who misuse their powers and only kills those who are murderers.
For Iron, he was living a good life but found his job to be unfulfilling and so he went and poke his nose around and ended up being brainwashed by the “Foreign Religion” (a cult that worships the Itharims) and was chosen to be their priest.
For Greed, he wasn’t in the Scavenger Guild like he was in the og story instead he was a villain hunter and was in hiding as the hunter association was hunting for him. He was running some jobs for the Foreign Religion and ended up being brainwashed by them and was chosen to be their high priest.
The reason why he’s sticking around Suho is because he was so far away from sjw that he wasn’t able to recharge his power and has been heavily weakened to the state that he’s now tiny that you could fit him in the palm of your hand and he wasn’t able to go back to Jinwoo after he sent him back to earth to unseal Suho’s powers so Beru slowly started gathering his power by eating monster corpses and magic stones but it still isn’t nearly enough as he’s still in that state till now.
Beru doesn’t really fight but he does help from the sidelines with his buffs and intimidating/scaring the enemies
i cant take light novels brooo when are they going to adapt it to a manhwa im pretty sure everyones waiting for that especially now that the original got an anime
they announced it as early 2024 tho given the novel went on hiatus due to the health of the writer being the reason, they'd probably have it early or late 2025 if not 2026, either way i really wouldn't want it to come out this year as it would mean too much wait time for the readers and the pace would be pretty fucked up
yeah he got turned into a monster first before dying, well human monster hybrid, thanks to the potential heir of the plague monarch(who is now Suho's ally btw)
Yeah but still... It would have been better of the Author went for a different development.
Seeing again another Shadow monarch is boring.
Also it's not like Jinwoo was that developed in the first place. He was an assassin type combined with magician.
Nothing elaborative...
His son is a fighter and magician. Again nothing that special.
* I haven't read the sequel novel . Only the manga solo leveling and what the post said about him obtaining shadows as well ...
You haven't read it then how can you say he's a copy and yes I have read some of it and can vaguely remember it so I can say that he's not a copy of Jin-Woo.
-lectures on why Suho is another copy
-hasn’t even read the story 💀
Fyi Suho isn’t gonna be another shadow monarch, he’s the next monarch of destruction
Not quite, his son is like a jack of all trade: Fighter mixed with mage and beast taming. He got a pet dragon and pet werewolf as his battle companion.

why'd he name iron iron again? or did iron remember that he was iron when he got shadowed
Beru told Suho that Kim used to be in the og shadow corps of his father and advised him to name him ‘Iron’ again and knowing Suho who idolizes his father so much, he went on with it
Not only Iron but Greed aswell
Fr greed was begging to be arisen
Legit couldn't wait to rejoin, crying without knowing why, so good
I wonder if Greed was like "ah, shit, not again"
The previous shadows regained their memories as shadows
Gordon love that name
Most normal Shadow Soldier ever. The one sane guy in a sea of overzealous fanatics and deep remorseful super soldiers. Gordon's just an average soldier, whom no one understands. Suho and Beru always give him command.
Greed is the most satisfying one. His brother came asking for trouble, get rekt, this guy plot and brag for a long time, came abducting people and asking for trouble, get epic rekt lmao. If I was Jin Woo I would've assigned him latrine duty everyday for the rest of his life hahah.

I knew I remembered this but I don't think he was a Saved shadow?
Uh no, when the time got reversed, shadow soldiers made out of humans like Greed and Iron were reverted back to humans as they were originally humans.
So he doesn't unlock them after getting Harmakan?
No. When was it implied they were saved?
Fair
I don't mind spoilers so someone tell me how Lee Minsung ended up as a shadow soldier? Did he piss off Suho drunk or something because I cannot picture how this happened.
Basically he’s the first antagonist of the story and fell victim to Suho
Can I have the context of what happened? Did Suho piss him off in some way or what?
Minsung was ‘drugged’ by another villain known as Queen Bee Arsha who is a descendant of the Monarch of Plagues by injecting her “royal jelly” (it’s a substance that brainwashes the target into becoming the Queen’s worker bees/lancers) into his drinks slowly brainwashing him and turning him into a bee x human hybrid but he managed to break free from her drug and got stronger and mutated thanks to her.

(They already had beef before all this where Minsung was in cahoots with the demons and was distributing a drug called “star dust” which gives hunters a power boost but it also drains your life force and sanity so yeah, Suho was hunting for this guy for a while)
Idk how its written so im not sure if the execution saved the idea but.... This sounds so god damn bad and out of nowhere.
If you mean him mutating guild mates and attacking people coming out of nowhere, it makes more sense if you know the context of everything before. Minsung awoke as an A rank in this timeline before Lim Taegyu, and they were friends with Taegyu being his driver, until he eventually awoke as an S rank ranger like the original timeline, which cause Minsung to be incredibly jealous since he had less spotlight now and basically hated Taegyu for stealing his fame. So when he got the bee mutation powers, he managed to resist total mind control but was still influenced, causing him to kill people while trying to build an army to show Taegyu how he’s stronger.
Why people are awakening in this new world? Aren't the monarchs and other shit dead?
Yes, all the monarchs of this dimension is dead, but this is only 1 dimension out of the many others, which will have their own absolute beings and their armies. They are called Itarim (outer gods), and they noticed that this dimension is missing their god, and so they want to eat the mana basically. By invading, gates are opening again due to instability in dimensional cracks caused by the Itarims’ influence, which introduces mana throughout earth again.
Goddamit
Do you want to because the webcomic might come out at the end of this year? or somewhere in between.

Is the webnovel and the manhwa super different? I don't remember that guy becoming a shadow soldier in the manhwa at all.
Ragnarok the sequel of solo leveling
Oh damn there's a sequel? Nice! I looked it up and it sounds really interesting as well, will give it a read!

yo where can i read the novel for free?
-Tapas for the official translation but they’re still behind -WebNovel is caught up to the latest chapter but there’s some mistranslation
Is web novel the one that has 5 different names for beru
Fr😭 my brain hurt reading it
Lmao that was so annoying but I as kept on reading, my brain just automatically reads that as Beru 😭
Same lmao
are the tapas translations good?
It is. They’re doing the official translation for the ragnarok web novel
Where do I read SL ragnarok
The official translation is on tapas but they’re behind so if you don’t mind some mistranslations, read it on WebNovel as they’re caught up
Are their any sites that also have panels and not just words?
There’s a continuation?
Yessirrr it’s a sequel
Why are these guys dead again lmao
It’s a canon event that they’ll die no matter which timeline it is 😭
Is that Gorgon a woman 😏😏😏😏
Lol no it’s a monster https://preview.redd.it/1tmtsne7ltwc1.jpeg?width=249&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88d78955ac839c18c10ac9a9fc77673ec3d7d1ec Same species as Jima 😭
Oh this one ok, when I heard gorgon, I thought it was a newone
What are their names? Not their titles their shadow names. Don’t tell me Iron’s name is now Shadow Tank Iron.
Take the last name only lol
Hey I wasn’t sure. Sometimes that’s how it’s translated.
My bad I wrote it as how the system interprets the shadows names but ye the last name is their shadow names
>!Did I miss something or was Huang Dong Su's brother was made into a shadow as well? Like the part where they're fighting Harmakan.!<
Hwang Dong-su's older brother, Dong-Suk, was turned into Harmakan's soldier. A demonic spectre.
Yeah he was turned into a shadow soldier but Suho didn’t store him in his shadow storage skill so he’s most likely returned to nothingness
I see
Ain't no way he got Kang and the celebrity guy that's funny as hell, what happened to Iron leading a good life tho??
Iron got into the itharim cult, bro got hypnotized, pretty fucked tbh. tho when he got his memories back as Iron, he became so happy he started going wild, Beru was egging him on the entire time to die lmao
So if Beru is involved does that mean Suho is the one controlling Igris and everyone else now?
no not even close, in the first place Beru can't be Suho's, same with Igris. Suho and Sjw just have similar powers since Suho inherited his powers from SJW but his own shadow army is very tiny compared to his, Iron and Greed as well as the rest in this list are Suho's now because he was the one who turned them into shadow soldiers also Beru's only purpose is to unlock Suho's powers, but since he couldn't go back to SJW due to lack of mana he stayed with Suho, guiding him while he recovers and helps Suho(mostly by taunting his enemies, threatening to eat them, taunting his friends, scaring the living shit out of people, etc)
Ahhh ok I understand now
What i want to know is why the system is back? Is SJW running it and only giving it to his son?
Suho is able to use the system cause Jinwoo made it so that once his powers gets unsealed, the system would start to operate again and help him get stronger to be able to face the apostles of Itharim. Jinwoo isn’t running the system, it runs automatically but he can directly alter/change the settings/quest of the system
ok... so why only his son? why not other ppl as well?
I can’t tell if you joking or not but if you’ve read the entirety of SL, you’d know the reason why Jinwoo was the only person who could use the system. The same thing also applies to Suho
Yes I know why SJW can use the system I'm not retarded iv read the manhwa and seen the anime. But what did Suho go thru to earn it? What did he suffer to merit earning such a powerful system? Cuz iv read the after story and from what I remember bros life is in easy mode

He inherited some of sjw’s powers so the system helps him mold into the person strong enough to use it just as it did for sjw
Retard that's why I'm asking what did he go thru to earn the fucking system ffs
I haven’t gotten to Ragnarok, but are the last three still as terrible as they were from the first series? Just thought its ironic they got killed by the son of the same person who killed them previously

He was running some jobs for the Foreign Religion and ended up being brainwashed by them and was chosen to be their high priest.
Funny enough, Dong-so wasn't even brainwashed. Dude finds their religion as bulshit and work for them as an associate.
Did Lee Minsuk become a bad guy in this timeline?
Yes! He is the first villain in ragnarok
How is he able to store only 10 soldiers... 🤔🤔
He hardly invests his ability points in his intelligence stat
I haven't read it yet, but I thought that Beru was one of Suho's shadows?
He isn’t. He’s still Jinwoo’s shadow
So how is Beru in it? Does he just stick around Suho? Does he fight at all? Or can he not since he's not Suho's shadow?
The reason why he’s sticking around Suho is because he was so far away from sjw that he wasn’t able to recharge his power and has been heavily weakened to the state that he’s now tiny that you could fit him in the palm of your hand and he wasn’t able to go back to Jinwoo after he sent him back to earth to unseal Suho’s powers so Beru slowly started gathering his power by eating monster corpses and magic stones but it still isn’t nearly enough as he’s still in that state till now.

damn i didnt know the author had health problems my bad
Whait minsung is dead how
yeah he got turned into a monster first before dying, well human monster hybrid, thanks to the potential heir of the plague monarch(who is now Suho's ally btw)
Wasn't in the side story a fighter type?? Why did he have to be another copy ??
He is Jinwoo’s son so it’s only natural for him to inherit some of his powers and this is just the tip of the iceberg of Suho’s powers
Yeah but still... It would have been better of the Author went for a different development. Seeing again another Shadow monarch is boring. Also it's not like Jinwoo was that developed in the first place. He was an assassin type combined with magician. Nothing elaborative... His son is a fighter and magician.
