The story follows Sung Jin-Woo, an E-rank Hunter, the weakest of the weak in a world where portals to dungeons appear, unleashing monsters on the earth. However, after a near-death experience in a dungeon, he is able to level up and become stronger. However, Sung Jin-Woo is not the only interesting character in Solo Leveling and today, we will talk about two specific groups in the series – Rulers and Monarchs. In this article you will find out who and what they are in the series.
Article details: The Rulers are angelic beings of light created when the Absolute divided light and used these fragments to create powerful entities that guarded the ideals of order. Monarchs are demonic beings created by the Absolute when He divided the darkness. These fragments become powerful entities of chaos and destruction. As representatives of opposing factions, the Rulers and Monarchs engage in a seemingly endless war of destruction that ultimately reveals the sad truth of their existence.
The history of Monarchs and Rulers is a common history
The story or history of Monarchs and Rulers starts from ancient history. In the beginning, only the Absolute Entity existed, light and darkness were natural forces under his control. At one point, the Absolute decided to split these two forces and create ten entities on each side. Entities of light are called Rulers, while entities of darkness become Kings.
Of course, as you know, the two factions were engaged in a bitter, cruel, and seemingly endless war. Neither side can gain the upper hand, and at one point, it seems like the two groups are fighting for the sake of fighting—there doesn’t seem to be any goal there, and neither side is winning against the other, which doesn’t make sense to anyone.
The Rulers, who represent good ideals, asked the Absolute for help, something that would help them defeat the forces of evil. However, they realize the sad and terrible truth of their existence: there are no winners, the war has no end – two groups fighting solely for the entertainment of the Absolute.
This was a shock to them, and the Rulers—except one—decided to rebel, and they struck down and killed the Absolute Creature. The only ruler to oppose it, Ashborn, was also defeated and left for dead, but he healed himself by transforming into the Shadow Monarch. He then went to Monarch and wanted to join them, but they did not trust him at first; However, they still accepted him in their ranks, only to later betray him.
Ashborn’s story is pivotal to the development of the plot, especially when the Rulers finally repent and ask for his forgiveness. The Rulers eventually managed to defeat the Monarchs, but it turned out that their remnants began to spread to the world of the living, sowing chaos causing the Monarchs to attempt to rebuild their armies. them and defeat the Rulers.
The Rulers then used the Cup of Rebirth to go back in time to stop it, but the result would always be the same, and that is the vicious cycle that the entities are trapped in and that we encounter each other in them when the story begins. Of course, they are also present in the real world, but only through their vessel, as they are not physical beings and cannot exist in the world of the living without a vessel. Now let’s see who they are.
