#SAVAGESKIRMISH
In the endeavor to triumph throughout #SavageSkirmish, Jin-woo garnered more prominent capabilities and procured both Mo-Ri Jin’s renewal taekwondo and Han Dae-Wi’s Kyokushin karate. Though Jin-woo was not triumphant, the rapport he obtained more than made up for it.
#FORAGERSGAME
Alongside Jin Mo-Ri, Jin-woo assembled the multiversal congregation of Heroes denominated #UNIVERSE after the infamous decimation of Tokyo Japan during #FORAGERSGAME. Over time, the congregation migrated into his Fortress, located in one of the Bamboo Forests of Tokyo, Japan.
#HYSTERIKA
Though he’d been incarcerated for most of the incident that happened in Kyoto, Japan, Jin-woo returned with retribution, battling through many vicious characters to find himself (alongside six others ) confronting the Goddess Eris.
During #UNIVERSE’s venture to Okinawa Beach, Jin-woo, was influenced by Satoru Gojo to purchase a resort. (Unintentionally, Sung Jin-woo acquired possession over the Marriott Hotels.)Upon venturing to the Garden of Eden, #UNIVERSE found themselves clashing with #RUINATION in a race to obtain Athena’s Dagger. In the adventure, Jinwoo battled and killed Toji Fushigoro, later transforming him into his shadow Greed.With the amplification abilities of Eve, Jinwoo gained a boost in all of his physical and magical attributes which he later utilized to battle Sauron, garnering Athena’s Dagger despite having lost the fight.In his battle with Sauron, Jinwoo procured many buffs, but none greater than Athena’s Dagger which amplified his attack potency tenfold.
#HYSTERIKA II
#SEIZETHEKING
After learning of King Minos, the forgotten sovereign trapped within a shell of his own body, Jin-woo gathered the forces of #Universe to invade the Lust Layer of Hell in an endeavor to liberate the fallen king and recruit him. However, their plans turn sideways when #OBSIDIAN makes their debut. Jin-woo failed to liberate Minos as Sephiroth captured the king.
#CULLINGGAME
Jin-woo awoke in Egypt forced to fight and kill allies and enemies to survive. However, the sovereign neglected his duties as a hero to pursue an act of revenge against Sephiroth. He learned to accept failure and move on from his wrath. Thus, electing to battle against Sekhmet and defeat her once and for all.
#ESCHATON
The end of the world commenced, forcing heroes across the Multiverse to act against the destruction caused by #OBSIDIAN. However, the heroes failed to stop eschaton, leading to the deaths of billions. Jin-woo fell among the deceased, or so he thought.BIRTHPLACE Storyline: Aftermath of #ESCHATON.After failing to defeat Maitreya and nearly dying, Sung Jin-woo awoke inside the realm between worlds. There he came across Gautama Buddha who thought him how to use his 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗜𝗥𝗩𝗢𝗬𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘. ( He learned this during the events of #SEIZETHEKING )
When trying to master clairvoyance, Jin-woo was summoned to the Void to be met with the SHADE LORD! There Sung Jin-woo was offered the power of primordial darkness and he accepted becoming the vessel for the Darkness that shall not be named. Along with the Shade Lord’s power, Jin-woo was sent on a mission to Unify the Shade Lord with his brothers, becoming a vessel to each concept of darkness: Void, Forest, Ocean, Cosmic, and Caves.
#GENESlS
Upon becoming one with the Shade Lord, Jin-woo joined the battlefield to finally put an end to Maitreya’s two-year reign. Rather than battle the source, Jin-woo opted to destroy two of the main forces: Kagutsuchi and Satan. In his battle against Kagutsuchi, Jin-woo managed to defeat the Shinto God and avenge many fallen comrades. Not only that, but Jin-woo also gained the heart of Izanagi, granting him the powers of Kagutsuchi. Right after, Sung Jin-woo obtained a new Servant: Mary, before being trapped inside Minos by Sephiroth.

UNIFIER OF DARKNESS
When trying to master clairvoyance, Jin-woo was summoned to the Void to be met with the SHADE LORD! There Sung Jin-woo was offered the power of primordial darkness and he accepted becoming the vessel for the Darkness that shall not be named. Along with the Shade Lord’s power, Jin-woo was sent on a mission to Unify the Shade Lord with his brothers, becoming a vessel to each concept of darkness: Void, Forest, Ocean, Cosmic, and Caves.The Shade Lord is Magnum Innominandum, a Lovecraftian Outer God that lives beyond concepts and layers above many other conceptualizations of Darkness. With this entity living within Sung Jin-woo, the Shadow Sovereign has evolved to become the Sovereign of Shade; The Unifier of Darkness.
| Ability | Details |
|---|---|
| Primordial Darkness Manipulation: | The primal darkness that has existed before creation, and represents the darker aspect of primal creation alongside the Light, both being two halves of the same coin, yet stand opposite. Due to its primordial nature, it goes beyond concepts of good, evil, and even neutrality. Similar to other primordial elements, the raw potency and primeval nature of this power enable Jin-woo to easily overpower immunities & resistances to dark-based abilities. |
| Absolute Darkness: | Jin-woo can create a field of absolute impenetrable darkness that completely negates sight and also dulls or even completely negate the other senses. He can generate darkness so intense it can completely obliterate objects in its path. |
| Conceptual Darkness Manipulation: | can manipulate the abstracts (or concept) of darkness. This can have many feats, such as darkness that can prevent light from existing, darkness that makes things more visible rather than less, produce darkness/shadows that can exist without light, harm things that can absorb or are immune to darkness, produce shadows/darkness that can consume or negate other forms darkness/night/shadows, and much more. |
| Cosmic Manipulation: | Jin-woo can create, shape, absorb and manipulate cosmic forces and energies to produce nearly any effect he desires, including the manipulation of matter and energy across space and time, the manipulation of the space-time continuum, altering the fabric of reality, the creation of force fields, the creation of inter-dimensional portals and vortexes, psionics, energy projection, and cosmic awareness. Jin-woo can summon or manipulate comets, meteors, asteroids, moons, planets, stars, nebula, neutron stars, quasars, black holes, white holes, galaxies, antimatter, and dark matter. They can generate stellar winds, solar flares, cosmic storms, and invoke meteor showers. They can also empower themselves and others by harnessing the power of the cosmos. This power can also be used for combat purposes. |
| Black Hole Manipulation: | Jin-woo can create, shape, and manipulate black holes, a region of space-time where gravity prevents anything, including light, from escaping. Jin-woo can control the size of a black hole, and move it around in space to "suck up" everything in its path. Black holes can allow Time Travel to the future: their immense gravity slows time (this effect increases with proximity). A few minutes or hours may pass for the user near the event horizon, and when they leave, they may find it's hundreds of years in the future. |
| Dark Divinity: | Because of Kagutsuchi, Jin-woo possesses a dark form of Divinity, which bestows him divinity and divine powers granting them an immense amount of raw power beyond the mundane; however, the divine source is darker in nature while still being considered a "holy" being. |
| Dark Energy Manipulation: | Jin-woo can create, shape, and manipulate dark energy, drawing from the Shade Lord. It can be channeled to a variety of effects as an absence of light, a solid, gaseous, and/or liquid substance that can be shaped/manifested in various ways. Unlike Darkness Manipulation, which draws from a similar source, dark energy focuses on direct, destructive, and violently outward-directed aspects of the spectrum. |
| Darkside View: | Jin-woo can force a target to face their inner evil, either in a mental struggle or bring the victim's dark side into the world as a physical being. When darkness is faced, it's arguably more powerful than the good half of being. They're basically a physical manifestation of the being's past wrongdoing, or current doing. They know the being as they know themselves, and that's a frightening thought. Victims are either corrupted, driven insane, or outright killed by the sensation of this ability. |
| Light Absorption: | Jin-woo can absorb visible light or its partial wavelengths, while removing it from the source, into his body and using it in various ways, gaining some form of advantage, either by enhancing himself, gaining the drained power, using it as a power source, etc. (temporarily) |
| Meta Immunity Bypassing: | The ability to bypass any and all immunities of any type/level. |
| Primordial Reality Manipulation: | Jin-woo can create, shape, and manipulate the primordial reality, the reality before reality or before the concept of reality. This allows him to control the original reality and blueprint/template/drawing board for what reality would become after the creation of existence, including the principles, concepts, laws, and forces that would later come to define existence. |
