Chat Group 52: Unmatched Power

Sung Jin Woo, Arthur Leywin, and Kim Dok-Ja have joined the chat.

Sung Jin Woo (Solo Leveling):

Gazes into the distance with an unreadable expression

So, I take it we're all here because we're the ones others look up to... or fear. Must say, it's not often I run into people who might understand the weight of it.

Arthur Leywin (The Beginning After the End):

Nods, a confident smile crossing his face

Being strong has its perks, but it isn't all as simple as it looks. Power always comes with responsibility—and sacrifice. But I guess you both already know that.

Kim Dok-Ja (Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint):

Looking between them, slightly amused

Strength, yes. But isn't it funny? The power we have can end wars, save lives, even alter destinies... yet we rarely ever feel like the "hero" of the story.

Sung Jin Woo:

True. People see the end result but never what it took to get there. They don't know the losses, the pain, or the battles that left their mark. They see the "hunter," not the man who had to climb his way out of nothingness.

Arthur Leywin:

That's how it is, isn't it? Power doesn't grant peace. Sometimes, it just attracts more chaos. In my world, the stronger you get, the more enemies come out of the shadows. It's like a magnet for trouble.

Kim Dok-Ja:

Exactly. And it's not even the biggest monsters that are the hardest to beat. Sometimes, it's the smaller, invisible battles. Pauses thoughtfully We're all fighting in our own ways... but the real strength comes in how we choose to use that power. It's not about crushing someone weaker; it's about protecting what matters.

Sung Jin Woo:

Protecting... Yeah, that's what keeps us grounded. I know I'd do anything to keep those close to me safe. In the end, power without a purpose is meaningless. You become nothing but an empty shell.

Arthur Leywin:

Well put, Jin Woo. Glances at Kim And you're right, Dok-Ja. I've seen people turn into monsters, lose themselves in their strength. But we're not like that. We know there's something worth fighting for beyond just the fight.

Kim Dok-Ja:

Smirks I suppose that's why we're here, isn't it? We might not know each other well, but in some way, we're connected by the choices we've made with our strength. We understand the price of it.

Sung Jin Woo:

Smiles slightly True. And the journey is far from over. No matter how strong we get, there will always be another challenge.

Arthur Leywin:

With a resolute nod Then we face it like we always have—with everything we've got. That's what makes us who we are.

Kim Dok-Ja:

Leans back, a satisfied look on his face Well, I guess that's all there is to it, isn't it? We keep moving forward. For ourselves and for those who believe in us.

One by one, they leave the chat with a newfound respect for each other's journeys.
