Return Of The Strongest Player

Read Before The First Chapter

Chapter -2: Read Before The First Chapter

Hello, readers!

I'm glad to introduce my second book, Return of the Strongest Player. This book served as my WPC entry in July 2023, and because of your support, I was able to be one of the selected winners.

Before you begin reading, let me explain a few things about the novel.

—

Arthur Solace, the protagonist, and the Lord of Sins, is not a stagnant character. As the story progresses, his character will grow accordingly. He is not a blank canvas, but his ideologies aren't hard as stone, either.

In his new life, he's striving to rectify his mistakes, not commit them again. He is aware his goal cannot be achieved through simply walking in his own footsteps.

The novel focuses on the theory and explanation of mana a lot during the latter half of the first volume, along with the former half of the second volume. This is done simply to expand the reader's view and describe the workings of the entire world.

My goal is to make sure readers are immersed.

This is not a long chapter, so it'll be over soon. I don't plan to take a lot of time.

Here are the explanations of rankers within the Heavenly Spire.

Player: A climber. A player is someone who has entered Heavenly Spire and resides within the tower.

Elite Ranker: This is a player who has conquered the 25th Floor.

Ranker: This is a player who has conquered the 50th Floor.

High Ranker: This is a player who has conquered the 75th Floor.

Divine Ranker: This is a player who has conquered the 98th Floor.

And lastly, here are the ranks of beasts in accordance to the number of beast marks they possess. Remember, this terminology only exists within Heaven's Spire itself, and not other planets.

1 - 100 Beast Marks (Infant Beasts)

101 - 500 Beast Marks (Novice Beasts)

501 - 5000 Beast Marks (Beast Subordinate)

5001 - 20,000 Beast Marks (Myriad Beast King)

20,001 - 250,000 Beast Marks (Spiritual Beast Emperor)

250,000 - 1,000,000 Beast Marks (Beast God)
