Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

Chapter 78: Chapter 78: About Rankings

As the countdown on the massive screens hits zero, the message changes to:

3... 2... 1...

Ding!

[QUEST STARTED]

The quest has officially begun. You have one hour to survive.

Suddenly, green circles of light appear on the ground, spreading out rapidly. These circles are Safe Zones.

[System Notification]

SAFE ZONES ACTIVATED

Description: The green circles are Safe Zones. Inside these zones:

- Monsters cannot attack you. You are safe from harm.

- Each Safe Zone has a time limit before it disappears and reappears in a different location.

People quickly spot the Safe Zones and rush towards them, eager for safety. Once inside, they feel a momentary sense of relief, protected from the danger outside.

The Safe Zones have a timer that shows how long they will remain active. They also pop up randomly, so you need to keep an eye out for them as they can appear anywhere.

In the Safe Zones, people start discussing their strategies, using their starter points, and preparing for the next hour. Outside the zones, the danger remains, and everyone knows they have to act fast to stay safe and make it through the challenge.

"And that's how humanity survive" Alex muttered while they're eating the foods and drinks that the butler bought.

Alexa followed "After that, some survivors were blessed by the gods and received special advantages. Even those without blessings managed to make it through. The crack in the sky closed, and humanity began rebuilding. Although monster waves continued to appear, humanity was prepared and managed to hold their ground."

"Over the years, the system kept upgrading and we called it Global System that now run the world also Look at this, Status!"

Alex then displays his status on a blue screen

[Status]

Name: Alex Ford Rank A

Class: Spearmaster

Title: Heir Of Valor Spear

Strength: A

Stamina: B

Agility: B

Mana: C

Status: Skills Disabled, Cursed by the Specters grasp

Seojun studies the screen, puzzled. Why does their status look so different from mine? And What? His Curse?

Alex explains, "The ranking system is as follows: F is the lowest, then D, E, C, B, A, and the highest is S. It measures our abilities and progress."

Alexa also showed her status

[Status]

Name: Alexa Ford Rank A

Class: Rogue (Dual Wielder)

Title: Dual Blade Vixen

Strength: B

Stamina: B

Mana: B

Status: Skills disabled, Cursed by the specters grasp

"You should definitely have a status, Try it."

Seojun follows Alex's example and says, "Status."

A screen appears before Seojun, but Alex and Alexa can't see it.

Alexa mutters, "Nothing? How is that possible? You're a returnee, and all returnees have high ranks."

They can't see this? Seojun Thought and he called system in his mind.

Ding!

Synchronization Complete

[Synchronization is finished. You may now proceed with your status and any required updates.]

WARNING:

Intrusion Attempt Detected

[Something is trying to access the host space and has attempted to enter but was successfully repelled.]

'You're back' , Seojun Thought

[Yes host,] System responded then Alex stands up decisively.

"Let's go, Seojun! We need to sort this out. Besides, it's required by law."

"What law?" Seojun asks.

"There's a law here that everyone must take a classification test to get officially ranked. You also need an identity card," Alexa explains. She shows him a silver card with Rank A on it. "This card is not just a rank—it's also an identity card that you need to carry everywhere you go."

Seojun is swiftly guided by Alex and Alexa to a sleek limousine waiting. Huno follows closely, barking occasionally.

As they all climb into the limousine, Alexa glances at Huno and asks, "Is that your dog, Seojun?"

"Yeah, I just found him somewhere," Seojun explains as they settle into their seats.

Alexa nods thoughtfully. "You should get him a collar. Pets aren't as safe as they used to be. Animals have evolved—some have become monsters, and others have turned into magical beast that can serve as familiars."

Seojun acknowledges her advice with a nod as the limousine's engine roars to life. He looks out the window, observing the busy streets of Seoul, now teeming with both people and the evolved creatures Alexa mentioned.

"Where are we going?" Seojun asks, curious.

"To the Awakeners Association," Alex replies. "It's the only official Awakeners Association in Korea. It's a central hub for all things related to awakening, including ranking, training, and regulations. They handle everything from classification tests to managing issues related to curses and abilities."

The limousine weaves through the congested streets, heading toward a towering building in the heart of Seoul. The Awakeners Association Guild is a grand structure, standing out with its modern architecture and fortified design, reflecting its importance and role in the new world order.

As the limousine pulled up to the Awakeners Association Guild, Seojun looked out at the tall, impressive building. It had a modern design with lots of glass and strong, protective features. Above the entrance was a huge digital screen showing a commercial.

The limousine stopped, and Seojun, Alex, and Alexa got out and approached the revolving doors. As they stepped inside, Seojun saw the commercial on the big screen:

Commercial Voiceover:

"Welcome to the Awakeners Association! Here, we help you unlock and enhance your abilities. Whether you're new to awakening or a seasoned pro, we offer top-notch training, classification tests, and support."

Scenes flashed across the screen showing people training in advanced facilities, combat simulations, and personal coaching.

"Remember, it's the law that everyone who reaches the age of awakening must be tested at the Association. You can either receive a blessing from the gods or go through our rigorous classification tests. This ensures that everyone is properly ranked and receives the appropriate support and resources."

The screen then displayed a ranking chart:

F: Lowest Rank Gray Card

E

D Bronze Card for E,D And

C C Rank

B Silver card for B&A Rank

A

S: Highest Rank Gold Card

"Your rank will determine the level of support and opportunities available to you. The classification test assesses your abilities and assigns you a rank. The higher your rank, the more resources and support you get. Aim high and achieve greatness with the Awakeners Association!"
