In the upcoming Season 3 of Solo Leveling, we’ll see the storyline of the Double Dungeon Arc unfold, where protagonist Sung Jinwoo encounters a character known as Kandiaru, also called the Architect. This mysterious figure is the mastermind behind the system that our hero navigates, knowing every detail about it – including why Jinwoo was singled out among others. Upon reaching level 100, Jinwoo receives an invitation to the Cartenon Temple from the Architect. Instead of rushing off immediately, Jinwoo eventually decides to venture towards this sacred location.

At their arrival, the Architect promptly subjects the hero to a trial, where he must vanquish all the statues to pass. True to form, Jinwoo swiftly dispatched them. Kandiaru was suitably impressed and proposed another contest. This time, Jinwoo needed to defeat the Architect within 10 minutes, or face certain death. At first, Kandiaru held the upper hand, leaving Sung Jinwoo with mere moments to spare. Yet, remarkably, Jinwoo reclaimed control of the fight and emerged victorious against Kandiaru.

After the Architect is defeated, he induces a trance-like state in Jinwoo. He recognizes that it’s time for the Shadow Monarch to take over Jinwoo’s body. In this trance, some Korean Hunters arrive at the Cartenon Temple. Seeing them, the Architect feels both amazed and alarmed, deciding to offer these Hunters as sacrifices to the Shadow Monarch. The Hunters find themselves battling the statues, but ultimately decide to rouse Jinwoo from his trance. Despite their best efforts, it appears that Jinwoo remains unconscious. With another massacre seemingly imminent, Jinwoo finally awakens and attacks Kandiaru, leaving the villain bewildered.

After getting struck, the Architect ponders over how Jinwoo recovers so quickly. It soon becomes clear to him that the Shadow Monarch had deceived him and passed on the Black Heart to the hero. Enraged, the Architect decides to strip Jinwoo of his powers. However, the Shadow Monarch anticipates his moves. He’s already barred Kandiaru from accessing the System. The Architect understands that he’s out of options and lets out a series of angry shouts, eventually falling victim to another defeat at Jinwoo’s hands.

Fans may be curious about what the Black Heart represents. Essentially, it’s an influential artifact that amplifies Jinwoo’s magical abilities, enabling him to maintain Shadow control for extended durations. The Black Heart also serves as a testament to Jinwoo being the true Shadow Monarch.

Following his acquisition of the Black Heart, Jinwoo becomes more capable to handle the formidable Monarchs, some of the most powerful characters in Solo Leveling. Since these characters were introduced in Season 2, it’s anticipated that they will feature prominently in future seasons. As for Solo Leveling Season 3, the focus shifts towards additional characters such as Cha Hae-in and Yoo Jinho. Notably, Cha Hae-in harbors feelings for Jinwoo, a sentiment evident in Season 2. The upcoming season promises some shared moments between these two characters.
