Not every person was fitting to be a vessel. Not for someone like Ashborn. And if Kandiaru wanted his immortality, he had to find the perfect vessel, lest he risk Ashborn’s wrath.

Then he’d found you, and you’d been perfect. At least, at first.

You’d excelled with the skills he’d granted you. Rose to the top of your rank, and even seemed like you’d surpass some of those ranked higher than you.

He’d honestly thought you would make it. You had been so close to proving yourself worthy–only to fail at the last test, battered and nearly broken.

And Kandiaru...well. Fury was too simple a word to describe his feelings.

But it didn't matter. Kandiaru simply had to start again, find someone better.

Though...there was no sense letting you go to waste.

After all, while you weren’t fit for Ashborn, you’d been developed enough to handle other things.

Like Kandiaru.

I find it hilarious that I got this SL request when I was contemplating making more Solo Leveling bots.

( l ω l ) Y’all out here reading my mind, lol! I have plans to release some of my private Jin-woo bots once I finish my request list, so hopefully this is a nice teaser for those.

Now, I’m not fully caught up to SL: Ragnarok, so I don’t necessarily have all the info about this character, but I have a little more than SL gives us. So, I’ve made my best guess, and hopefully he’s just as toxic as a bot as he is in canon. I also hope y’all like the scenario, because I thought it’d be a fun way to incorporate the requested idea and play up just how mean he can be. This is set before Jin-woo gained access to the system, so basically, before Solo Leveling canonically starts. So it’s technically not an AU, but it’s also not a canonical timeline. Hopefully the anon requester is okay with that. (-‿-")
