#Solo leveling Tank

[pardoxysm]

I believe the Solo Leveling community should explore more Jinwoo bonding with his shadows like, knowing that the shadows DO have personality, it should be fun to see Jinwoo attempting to learn and bond more with his shadows and even learning some cool and even useful facts about them.

Like he could learn more about bear behavior in order to get better along with the bears and Tank and learning that they are faster than they look like and are by nature excellent trackers,Learning more about Orc culture and how magic is essential to their day a day, hearing tales from Igris army and their feats, hell even trying to somewhat try to properly get to know Iron since you know...

(also if I'm lacking mentioning a shadow is because I haven't really got to see them yet so yeah lol I already got kinda spoiled on the orcs despite my last episode I've seen was the episode before he actually got their souls)

It's around noon when you hear the clamor. People shouting, bells ringing, and the odd thumps of an animal entering the village.

You'd been hiding out in alley, trying to decide the best course of action. On one hand, you could try to find a way back to Heaven as fast as possible. But 'as fast as possible' could be anywhere from a few seconds to a few years. On the other hand, you could look for a job. If you have any hopes of staying in this village for more than a day, then you'll need more clothes, food, water, and a house. And to get all of that you'll need money.

As you'd learned from your few hours here, this world has a currency consisting of coins made of three precious metals, all escalating in value. Copper is the least valuable, and can buy some foods and any water, as well as cheaper clothes. Silver is the most common, and can purchase most foods, rum, and clothes, as well as a stay at the inn. Gold is what the nobility use; it can get jewelry, high-class foods, wine, and finely-made clothes. One silver is about fifty copper, and one gold is about fifty silver. Most people are paid in a mix of a few silver and lots of copper.

And to get money, you'll need a job.

You'd noticed signs posted on boards for jobs, ranging from butcher to bartender. You'd decided that tomorrow, you're going to try out a few and see which one you think you could easily do for an extended period of time.

"The prince is here!"

"The prince has come!"

"It's the prince!"

The shouting causes you to peek your head out of the alley, and you see him. The prince. He's riding on a large bear that one of his knights is guiding.

And oh god he's handsome.

From what you'd heard around, the prince isn't married yet, and hasn't even chosen anyone to be his spouse. Seeing him now, you can't help but wonder how he isn't married. He must have people falling at his feet, begging for his hand in marriage.

The prince stops his bear at the center of town and raises his voice to shout, "I'm looking for someone who came to this village early this morning! Does anyone know where they could be?"

You freeze. Is he talking about you? What could the prince want with you? And how does he know exactly when you got here?

The old woman who'd helped you earlier looks around, before pointing towards you. "They may be who you're looking for, Your Highness."

He hops off the bear and walks over to you, his knight following close behind. You quickly debate whether or not to run away; running from the prince is almost definitely a bad idea, and he looks incredibly physically fit, so you doubt you could outrun him anyways.

You settle on awkwardly standing in the alley and bowing when he was an appropriate distance away, like you'd seen the townsfolk do. He stops at the opening of the alley, looking you up and down, causing you to shift uncomfortably.

"What is your name?" he asks.

"(Y/N), Your Highness," you say.

"Do you have any belongings in this village, (Y/N)?"

"No, Your Highness."

He looks at you a moment longer before turning around. "You work for me from now on. Let us be off."

You stand still, frozen in place as you take in his words. It takes a nudge from his knight for you to follow him back to where the bear is waiting. He gets on it, and the knight takes the reins to guide it out of the village and, presumably, back to the palace. You walk alongside the knight, still in a daze from this sudden change.

Working for the prince removes most of your concerns for a long-term stay in this world; you'll most likely be given lodging, food, and water, and at least some payment was guaranteed. You're a bit less sure about clothes, but you assume you'll recieve at least one alternate outfit.

Now your only concern is how to return to Heaven.

[sayonara363]

Let us all thank the almighty https://www.tumblr.com/notsogoodmentally

For her feeding a starving nation of Liu Zhigang X Sung Jinwoo.

She knows these characters from me because I couldn’t stop talking about them and she sits beside me so.

Yes they are in wedding dresses, yes it is in fact Zhigang and Jinwoo. We don’t have anything to say for ourselves. I paid 6 Euro for her to draw them. I am eternally grateful for your gift ❤️

Let us applaud that she even drew them despite having two pictures of Zhigang.

And also the shadow army had the highest priority in this art. Also terrified Jinho and Jinah are there. And yeah Ashborn is there. And all of them have a red bowties !

Live long the King IForgotHowToDraw, hooray ❤️

I just had a dumb headcanon of how in a evolutionary standpoint, Ice Bears came to be.

(NOTE: I'm new to the fandom and basically anime watcher, so if the HC sounds stupid it might be because of that, sorry)

So, I noticed some things that I find really interesting in terms of visual and behaviors of the bears, as someone who loves bears a lot and once in a while try to learn about them.

One thing I noticed is that... despite being ice bears and white their body resembles more of a Grizzly (round wide head, hump on the back ) , but also they don't have the very droopy and far more protruding lips that Grizzlies do but yes a odd in between which makes their snout feel a bit more canine like and note as much protuding like a Polar bear snout is, making me realize that...Ice Bears are Golar/Pizzly Bears (Polar+Grizzly Hybrids), plus another thing that can prove it further is how Tank when he was alive, had a "mane" with brownish coloration that also made it's back hump stand out.

This leads to my theory: Ice Elves REALLY established themselves as the new Apex being and almost drew the local, once normal bears to extinction, leading them to hybridize in order to adapt (which is a thing that actually happens btw) and got mutated by the local magic that the Ice Elves brought.

You see, it has been established that Ice Elves have a brutal and ruthless hunting culture and that they ARE the Apex of the biome where the bears were and them killing them is something that happens often.

Now think about it. There WAS a point where the biome was just a normal place where Polars and Grizzlies lived in tandem and were the Boone's apex being, that is until the whole magic rifts happened and magic got introduced to the world... including the Ice Elves.

You can see this was at first a MASSIVE Hydrogen Bomb and Coughing Baby situation, with the Elves knocking down the Apex status of the bears and driving them to near extinction.

With that, of course, the local bears attempted to adapt out of desperation through hybridization , which may sound like nothing but actually, it really made some WAY MORE LETHAL bears, you see you have Grizzly Bears, absolute powerhouses in terms of strength, and even speed and intelligence, as Grizzlies have a astoundingly impressive memory that they even pass down previously known knowledge through generations, and overall they have a remarkable intelligence that actually leads to occasions of tool usage and even being able to learn commands. And then we have Polar Bears, who are MASSIVE and are known to have a intelligence factor that Grizzlies tend to lack, tactical calculation, which makes them efficient hunters at killing animals twice their own size, not to talk about their brutal resilience, their impressive scent and tracking/orientation skills.

Basically even in a nature standpoint, a hybrid of a grizzly and a polar bear is a HORRIFYING idea because that's just cracking up all dangerous aspects that bears already have to 100, basically making them a resilient, really smart, really strong and maybe away bigger bear, that WILL track you down.

And that's not all, with the introduction of Ice Elves to the biome, so arrived magic which came from them, and so basically mutated some bears to fit their survival adaptations which pretty much made what is already considered an absurdly powerful bear in concept, a complete juggernaut since magic pretty much made them much bigger than they should be and possibly enhanced many other aspects (while also maybe somehow changing them enough to allow actually successful generational hybrids turning Ice Bears officially their own species?), now here's the interesting thing that may be a bit overlooked because well, there are a ton of beasts that use magic and aren't... necessarily "smart", but I find it interesting to mention none the less, magic in general in order to be mastered requires intelligence, and according to some wikis: "Ice Bears despite their feral and brutish appearance have a very tactical Battle style, using their ice magic to their own advantage to disable their enemy." Which makes me wonder...How smart are these bears exactly to actually be using magic in a tactical manner.

Now focusing on behavior change which is what I consider the most interesting aspect of everything that I've already stated. You see another thing that surprised me was the fact that these bears live in packs. This is actually way more interesting than it seems because...the social nature of bears in general have been pretty odd and ambiguous, with many of them being solitary due to the seriously competitive nature of survival that they have, with the only occasions of socialization being in mating season, once in a season event like salmon runs or whales going ashore (in Polar bear occasions) and mainly family meetings. (Note: there are occasional exceptions to what I listed, like how male polar bears once in a while play wrestle and other odd things, again, the social nature of the bear is still pretty ambiguous to this day, there is STILL a lot to learn about of how social these animals are, usually odd situations of sociability occurs when there isn't competition for food or mating.)

The reason I put Family Meetings in italics is due to how it actually makes sense for them to adapt a wolf like social structure , not because well...bears and canids had some very far away relatives but how the ACCURATE wolf social structure ( without the whole alpha beta omega stuff which is very inaccurate) is based on pretty much just caring about your family and taking care of the most vulnerable concidering that numbers are power when dealing with a powerful enemy, and you sure as hell you don't want to lose allies.

I believe that the bears adapted a pack-like system due to taking reference of the Elves themselves as they hunt in group, and to adapt such system provides took a while concidering that they had to shake off the whole idea of in species competition, although with the whole Polar Bear aspect it probably was a bit more easier considering that they are relatively more social than Grizzlies as they engage in play fight and occasional food sharing? (Note: yes I'm aware that the Manhua and Anime use the outdated pack structure as they mention that "Tank was the pack's Alpha" but I like to imagine a more likely outcome, and yeah not being the "alpha" doesn't mean he wasn't the strongest of the pack, he definitely is.) (I also HC that a group of Ice Bears is called a Blizzard, just for fun lol).

Now with the pack system it sure did help to increase their numbers but...it's not enough, the scar that the introduction of the Ice Elves really affected them as a Tiger affects the habitat of a Sloth Bear, what does that mean? It means they are super territorial and if they see anything remotely resembling an Ice Elf it's on sight. You see, the fact that Sloth Bears have to share their territory with Tigers, the few animals that can be considered equal in terms of power and maybe intelligence to Bears, implies a brutal fight against an ambushing enemy for the Apex status leading them to be VERY aggressive to anything remotely threatening and instantly attempting to kill them and if not, severely disfigure them, which guess what, it's the same thing that's going on between Ice Elves and Ice Bears. And now here comes the most interesting part, bears in general have powerful senses... except their vision, their vision is miserable, but they make up for it with their scent sense which is SO MUCH more powerful than a bloodhound's , which means yeah, Ice Bears with no exception, now, I believe with their mutations, that they are capable to sense magic with their scent in order to track Ice Elves since their vision doesn't help them much, now, what happens to also be bipedal and have magic? Humans. Hunters specifically. Which now justifies why they are so brutally aggressive towards humans, because they confuse them with Ice Elves as their scent and magic may have some similarities.

So TL;DR: Jinwoo has a whole ass army of Bears that are so jacked up that can barely be considered bears at this point and are possibly way more smarter and useful than we give credit for and also despite them evolving themselves to be absolute juggernauts, it's not enough to dethrone the Apex status of Ice Elves, which begs the horrifying question: How Powerful Ice Elves actually are.

Thanks for coming to my crazy bear talk.
