Yeah, I figure. There are guys who amass power for all kinds of reason.

[ some did it just to increase their rank, or show off their stength. others did it to poison the tower and extend their influence all throughout. some even had connections with the outer gods themselves and acted as no more than their vessels, but yuwon doesn't want to think about that now.

he can't say one way is better than another. though, as someone who regressed and felt entirely alone in his venture, he could probably say with some level of conviction that he wouldn't envy jinwoo being the only one could level up. regardless, he shakes his head. ]

Being the only one... [ well, jinwoo should be powerful. yuwon can't help but have the same question on the tip of his tongue, but jinwoo beats him to the punch.

yuwon pauses, before he says matter-of-factly: ] I don't even rank. I'm just a player. [ as opposed to a "ranker." it's not a lie, but it probably didn't encompass the full truth, either. which is why he follows it up with: ] But, I can hold my own when I need to.

What about you?
