Chapter 251
2024, World Ranker Announcement Ceremony (3)
At that moment.
As I arrived on the first floor of the Demir Workshop, I felt the status window update.
[Rank 10, Skeleton Emperor Ju Dong-hoon]
“Whoa.”
My jaw dropped open without me realizing.
World Rank 10?
Rank 10?
Really?
After the fight with the ‘Fighting God’ (SSS-grade) this time.
I did think I’d gotten a bit stronger after receiving treatment from ‘Ancient Magic’ (SSS-grade), but I never imagined it would be to this extent.
I had a feeling my rank would rise somewhat, but I never dreamed in my wildest dreams it would be Rank 10.
‘This is insane.’
The System judged it.
It acknowledged it.
Even excluding special things like God Slayer-grade weapons or the Old Man, etc., it says I’m Rank 10.
Now there are only nine people who can be said to be stronger than me.
“Kheu.”
The feeling was novel.
One year ago.
After receiving Rank 78, I’ve climbed a whopping 68 ranks.
How could I not feel proud?!
It was truly tremendous growth, a storm of development.
I suffered a lot during that time.
Excluding unavoidable days, I never skipped training for a single day.
Every day was a repetition of trials.
Of course, luck was on my side too.
But I believe luck is also a reward for effort.
If I hadn’t even considered fighting the Fighting God, would the luck of Ancient Magic seeking me out have happened?
“Hmm.”
But, the emotional moment ends here.
Part of me wanted to be gleefully happy all day long, but it seemed like this wasn’t the situation for that.
