Ranking Match - Preliminary (1)

“It’s a ranking match… … .”

Ranking match. Simply put, it was a contest to determine who was the strongest.

In the past and in the present life, there were user rankings that were ranked based on level and combat power through unofficial analysis, but that was limited to each country.

In a situation where there is not even a comparison between the top rankers of each country right now, the game company suddenly announced that it would conduct a ranking match on its own.

[Full notice. In the next three days, the ranking match to determine the user's ranking will begin. Rankings up to the top 10,000 will be covered through this competition, and after that, you will be able to play a ranking match by agreement between individuals.]

[According to the introduction of the ranking system, you can obtain monthly ranking rewards.]

Introduction of the ranking system and compensation for each ranking.

To be honest, the rewards by ranking were meaningless.

In the case of 1st place, it was announced that they would give a random box where you can randomly acquire legend-grade items from rare, but it was difficult to see that it was a decisive factor that could nail the ranking.

If a legend grade item appears, there may be an increase in combat power, but it is not absolute.

Right now, how many users are wearing more Legendary items than Lokan?

Therefore, Lokan almost lost interest, but the additional reward specially paid to the first place in this ranking match drew attention.

[Rank 1st place privilege: Random Item Box (Rare ~ Legend), Level Up Elixir]

It was just a leap of level up.

There is only one level, but it is a level-up leap that definitively raises the user's level by one level no matter what level he is.

Lokan's eyes gleamed when he saw that.

'It's a level 1 confirmed increase... … .'

The lower the level, the lower the value, but for Lokan, it was a more precious item than a thousand gold.

In order for a Rokan who has reached level 445 to rise to level 1, he must either wage a war alone or defeat an entity that can destroy the country alone.

But he says he can raise a level for free?

Of course, it wasn't free, but it was free for Lokan. Who is it that surpasses you?

He showed confidence and confidently touched the application button.

It was also accompanied by a satisfied smile, as if reserving the victory in the ranking match.

***

“It must have been a big deal.”

Lokan, who lightly touched the button to participate in the ranking match, immediately realized his mistake.

stabilization of the body. Although it is said that the start of the ranking match is three days later, it is belatedly that he remembered that his physical condition did not return to normal within that period.

In addition, the conditions for participation in the ranking match are high for users who are level 350 or higher, so there is a high possibility that they will only be embarrassed.

would you abstain? Do I have to scrub it somehow?

Many times, sweating and worrying, thinking over and over again. Fortunately, a new notification appeared when there was one day left until the ranking match.

"Ah… … !”

[The first stabilization is over.]

[Restored normal abilities except for the power of frost and the power of hellfire.][Song of Fire and Ice cannot be used until secondary stabilization is complete.]

[Be careful. The energy in the body may run rampant when receiving powerful fire or freezing damage.]

“If this… … !”

A solution appeared. Again, the ability values ​​are restored to their original state, and the skills are also changed to be usable.

There was a vicious warning that the energy inside the body could run wild when receiving a strong blow, but it did not come to mind.

“If it doesn’t fit, it’s a joke.”

If it doesn't fit, stop.

A smile spread brightly at the thought that if it was overwhelming specs and controls, it would not fit, and that he would be able to occupy the first place without using the incarnation of the storm.

jump on it anyway I'll crush you all.

With a smile like a demon king, he waited for the next day.

"Eh?"

And finally, the day of the ranking match.

Lokan discovered something he hadn't noticed before because he was stuck in the happiness circuit.

“Isn’t it just a battle?”

The ranking match is not a simple one-on-one match.

“You are bothering me.”

Although there was a limit to the entry qualification of level 350, the target was the whole world.

It's a competition that decides the top 10,000 in the ranking, but is it only with 10,000 participants? Even if 10,000 people participated, it would be 5,000 battles to make it one-on-one.

To call it a preliminary round, it is difficult to skip and skip it as it is a place where the strongest players up to the top 10,000 out of billions of users are selected.

From the game company's point of view, it was a pity to just let it go, and on the contrary, it could not be a number that was too difficult to broadcast one by one.

‘I can understand your concerns, but… … .'

So, the ‘mission’ was chosen.

A total of three stages of missions are given, and only users who entered the ranks in each mission can advance to the next stage, and ultimately, to the arena of one-on-one battles.

As Lokan said, from the point of view of users who are solidifying the top ranks, it was quite annoying.

It would be more convenient if you just put them in a place like the Colosseum and call it a 100-man battle, but do you open up the possibility that even the top players could fall by doing annoying things like a mission?

Isn't it possible that the ranking may change due to a lack of understanding of the mission or collusion between other users?

There is no way that users around that point could not understand the true meaning of the mission, but in the latter case, it could drop a really strong candidate for the championship.

What if the contents of the mission were leaked?

Or, whatever it was, what if there was an tacit agreement to drop the most influential person first?

Even if it's a Rokan, it might suffer from being eliminated.

In the unofficial rankings, it means that there could be an accident in which Lokan, who had been the undisputed, undisputed number one, could not even occupy the top 10,000 place.

“Well, it will be okay.”

But Lokan didn't care.

It was just a little annoying because I was confident that I would be able to easily cross the cut-offs like missions and so on.

In addition, no information about the three missions has been officially released.

There seems to be a lot of speculation online, but it is said that even if there is a collusion, there is no choice but to make it on the spot.

I don't even know if collusion works in the first place.

Everything would be known only when the ranking match started.

“Wow!

All those who expressed their intention to participate in the ranking match gathered at the designated points.

Around the stage, which looked like the Colosseum, a larger number of spectators had already lined up.

"Huh?"

“… … Is this the only one?”

“Has the team been split already? OMG! It's Lokan!"

“Aww, Kongseung!”

“You bastard, what would you do if these people were fighting each other? Just pray that it isn't."

"Ugh."

Looking around, it was a fairly large number, but 10,000 was not even a chin. Maybe only 1,000 or 2,000 people?

So people immediately understood the situation.

Whether it's a team match or a qualifier.

Therefore, I earnestly hoped that it would be just like this, to eat side by side and fight the other crowd.

Basically, because he was confident in battle, he even participated in the ranking battles, but it is not an idea that applies to Lokan. No one wanted a dog to die.

[After a while, the first mission in the ranking match will start.]

It was the same with the spectators side of the riot. Those who were checking the faces of the participants found Lokan and were terrified.

I was nervous and started placing bets.

Winner Prediction and Winner Prediction.

Although the exact list of participants has not been revealed yet, it is not complete, but it is betting on whether to win or not from those who are likely to participate.

Of course, it seems that the bet itself would not hold because Lokan was overwhelming, but that was not necessarily the case.

Those who aim for a single shot with a high dividend, and those who aim for a chance of being eliminated before entering a one-on-one battle as an initial concentration check, bet on Lokan's elimination.

‘Have a good time.’

How dare you bet on yourself.

The naval force was a Lokan who understood the situation through the horses, but there was no arrogant nature.

He doesn't like being a shogi mate of this board, but in fact, isn't it impossible to bet on a tournament like this?

So he also had someone else participate in that bet.

Of course, there is only one pick.

[Winner: Lokan]

To be honest, I didn't know about the rest of the ranking match. I don't even know who these guys are.

Since I had already given Folten a large sum of money and placed a bet, even if the dividend was low, a certain profit would be returned.‘Certainly, the Necromancer is at a disadvantage.’

It was also the reason that Polten, who is called the Infinite Necromancer in her present life following her previous life, announced that she would not participate before this ranking.

Due to the nature of necromancers that use their power only with a corpse, they will inevitably be weakened on a stage equipped like a ranking battle.

Rather, after the ranking match was over, he showed his intention to visit and defeat the rankers one by one and raise the ranking.

'That's a clever way.'

Is there no reason to jump into an unfavorable fight and lose face? Lokan greeted his first mission, nodding his head that he had made a smart choice.

Paat.

And in the next moment, all the people in the Colosseum disappeared in an instant.

massive teleport.

After moving them to a new stage, a total of four screens appeared, one in each direction, in the place of the Colosseum where they stood.

It was a pity that I couldn't see them with my own eyes even here, where I even bought a ticket, but it's unavoidable.

What's happening from now on isn't just about driving and hitting.

Moreover, no matter how wealthy you are, you will not be able to find a TV of this size, so it was a clear advantage to be able to watch it with a much larger, clearer picture quality and detailed sound.

"what?"

“Where are you?”

The reaction of users that appeared on the screen was bewildering itself.

We fell into a town we had never seen before, so we had no choice but to be vigilant and nervous until the mission contents came out.

What the hell is the intention of dropping it in the middle of the town out of nowhere?

The eyes of those who secretly opened the distance from Lokan, in case there might be a battle, all turned to the sky.

To be precise, he checked the mission notice board that appeared in the sky.

[Mission 1. Be the first to reach the destination marked with the arrow by any means. Only 500 people on a first-come, first-served basis can pass this mission. From 501st onwards, the ranking is determined by determining the distance to the destination. However, while performing mission 1, the use of potions, wings, and vehicles that you already have is prohibited.]

A golden dot was stamped in the distance with him. The destination is marked with an arrow.

"Ugh?"

"crazy! run!"

At the notification, the users started running reflexively.

At first glance, it seems quite a long way. It was clear that it was advantageous to take even one step first in order to arrive there first, on a first-come, first-served basis.

sluggishly.

But not everyone runs. There were people who were nervous about the story of ‘by any means’ and looked at Lokan.

Because if Rokhan was determined and vicious, not even 500 people could pass through it, but fifty people.

Even though the other users started moving, Lokan silently looked at the notice board and the direction indicated by the arrow.

Did you relax or did you give up?

At first, those who hesitated looking at Rokan, who did not move, started running, wondering if there would be any more.

‘Stupid bastards.’

Lokan, who was watching them, suddenly turned around. He started heading somewhere.
