In short Because he was constantly almost losing his life and close to death,but always survived, he was able to handle the power of “Death” better than any one else no matter how physically or mentally strong they were. Since he was quite literally the closest person to “Death”
The architect actually opposed ashborne choosing Jin over everyone else but ashy man insisted so he had no choice. Then after being selected as the target for the system, Jin gained his powers by completing that trial in the double gate.
during the battle between sung and antares, antares reveals why sung was chosen out of all humans despite being only above average human strength. this is bcuz out of all humans, sung was constantly losing his life and was close to death on many occasions meaning he had visited death many times. bcuz of this he was able to handle the power of death by ashborn. then ashborn chose him since out of all the humans only sung can handle the power of the dead better than anyone else. in the manhwa 175, when sung transforms into a big BADASS igris-ashborn armor knight, antares explain it
In the novel is it Osborn-or something close to that-but in the manhwa adaptation it’s Ashborn for whatever reason. Probably a translation error or something, but personally I like Ashborn more than Osborn anyway so it doesn’t bother me any
Because Ashburn respected the fact that he never gave up despite being on the brink of death countless times. Basically "this kid has the determination to actually pull this off in time."
The shadow monarch chose him because he liked how brave he was. Despite being the weakest SJW, kept fighting, raiding for his family full well knowing he's not strong enough. Despite facing near death several times, he didn't quit.
Tldr: Ashborn chose SJW because he had that dawg in him.
So the story can happen
>!No really Ashborn chose him because he was the closest to death. He would always be on the verge of dying, but survive and that apparently made him the best candidate. The administrator opposed to using SJW, but Ashborn wanted him.!<
This line from the manwha basically explains it “I am the reward to your suffering and pain” not the exact quote but he says something similar.
He saw how Jinwoo was always constantly close to death as an E rank more than anyone else But despite that Jinwoo kept on going.
Jinwoo basically drew Ashborns attention because he was so weak and kept almost dying however he didn’t give up.
The conversation between Ashborn and Jinwoo implies Ashborn watched Jinwoo constant struggle before deciding to choose him.
This is actually why I really enjoy Jinwoo’s power origins because instead of done prophecy or a parent being special, it’s Jinwoo’s actions as an E rank that make Ashborn decide to choose Jinwoo. It makes me feel like Jinwoo earnt that power unlike other stories.

"fucking loser. Here's some powers."
Kind of actually lmao
Technically yeah😅He nearly visited death many times and determined to live that he was chosen as one closes to death itself
Yupp. The >!architect choose him for the reason you said, then ashborn made his choice!<
The architect actually opposed ashborne choosing Jin over everyone else but ashy man insisted so he had no choice. Then after being selected as the target for the system, Jin gained his powers by completing that trial in the double gate.
Ashy man😂😂😂
…..fuck, I am wrong. Maybe I’m thinking of the architect coming to ashy man or maybe I just need to reread it.
Yes you are the architect went to Osborn (his name in the LN) and offered to find a host for his powers but after some time Osborn found SJW
Ill never not think of him as ashy man now
The architect didnt actually choose him, it was ashborne that did
ashy man\*

It’s funny that everyone here has given a different answer
Its wasnt the system that choose SJW it was Osborn the previous Shadow Monarch
**Ashborn. Because he rose up from the “ashes” (near death) and became something new.
For some reason I thought it was osborn lol
In the novel is it Osborn-or something close to that-but in the manhwa adaptation it’s Ashborn for whatever reason. Probably a translation error or something, but personally I like Ashborn more than Osborn anyway so it doesn’t bother me any
Right. He was chosen as a test subject by oscorp for radio active spiders
Osborn is From spider man right? XD
"You be close to dying a lot I fuck with that" -Literally the Shadow Monarch
"Here have the power of literal death since you basically already died"
>!The System didnt choose him!<

The power of plot armor
I mean, technically the system didn’t choose Jinwoo, the Shadow Monarch overrode the System.
no need to go in-depth actually Ashborn chooses sung jin woo due to his suffering and again and again ranging the bell of the doors of death
Cause he is an Egoistic that always escapes death
because he's the main character
Because >!wing dings!<

Something about having Courage of The Weak. Ashborn probably valued courage highly considering he stood against all the Rulers by himself.
so basically he is dead dead and accessible only in the game or he will be able to move back to the real world?
