The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 60

60.

Rank 1.

The pinnacle that every Ranker dreams of.

Just like the overall rankings, the graduation quest rankings were fiercely competitive.

Extinction, Arthur, Slayer, Cheonma [a mythical Korean warrior figure], Verze…….

The city’s rankings were a constant back-and-forth battle among Rankers whose names alone commanded respect.

The competition was so intense that even those in the top 20 could suddenly lose their spot at any moment.

Even though they couldn’t tear down the towering fortresses of the established top 10 guilds, incredibly talented individuals with exceptional physical abilities were constantly rising through the ranks.

They proved their skills by dominating the city rankings, and some even reclaimed a spot in the top 10, or, rarely, even the coveted Rank 1.

“Crazy……”

However, there were a few cities where this logic didn’t apply.

Cities where the owner of the throne displayed unwavering majesty, never relinquishing their rank once achieved.

Raven was one of those thrones.

Even if it didn’t matter elsewhere, Raven’s Rank 1 held a different symbolic meaning.

Extinction, the most popular player in existence.

This was the place where he first challenged and succeeded in a solo boss kill.

“Extinction has been pushed down……?”

“No way!”

The Rank 1 position that he had never relinquished since achieving the feat of the first solo boss kill.

It was an achievement that further solidified Extinction’s position.

But now, that myth had been shattered for the first time.

“Who the hell…… Huh? Kaiser?”

“Could it be the Kaiser I know??”

“No, but why is the score like this? 1,471…… Crazy, is that even a possible score!?”

And to that name that wrote a legend in Demrooth in the past.

Whether that name was real or not didn’t matter.

Beep-.

Beeep-.

“Ah, yes! Guild Leader.”

“Manager Jin Tae-hyung, I’m on the phone.”

“Yes, I’m at the scene right now…….”

“Yes, understood. I’ll find out what happened right away.”

They were too busy answering the incessantly ringing communication devices, even after hanging up repeatedly.

They moved faster than anyone else, becoming several times more frantic than when the field boss disappeared, and that brought a new wave to the quiet God of Savior.

And that wave spread not only to those playing the game but also to those who weren’t logged in.

The news spread on the official God of Savior website, where all information gathered.

[Extinction Falls, the Rise of a New Emperor!?]

[The Throne of the First Trial, which symbolized Extinction, has been Reclaimed! Who is the New Owner of the Throne?]

[A Huge Typhoon Blows into Raven, What Changes Will it Bring to the Future…….]

[The Identity of the New Throne, Someone Everyone Knows!?]

Articles with all sorts of sensational titles were rampant, but at first, the netizens’ reactions were lukewarm.

-LyingReporterHater: The reporter is reporting again.

-DistrustLevelMax: Fall, the rise of an emperor, tsk tsk…… Who would believe that?

-IWillLickExtinction’sToesFor100Million: Kaiser my ass lol

It was because they had experienced the sensationalism of the reporters more than once or twice.

But as always, sensational titles were bound to be clicked on.

With the mindset of being fooled one more time, or with the intention of seeing what kind of obvious story they had embellished this time.

-LyingReporterHater: Crazy, it’s real!?

-DistrustLevelMax: The Rank 1 changed? Wow, Extinction got pushed down?

-YourPoopIsColorful: Holy moly is this real?

-RealFact: Real Fact

The God of Savior gallery erupted.

Every time they refreshed, new posts were uploaded, and all posts and news exploded with views.

“Upload the article quickly!”

“This is a gold mine. Upload anything and everything!”

In a situation where the number of views was like a vending machine, the reporters excitedly wrote sensational articles, and the users, swallowed up by the new change, couldn’t help but become curious.

-GodOfSaviorRanker: So who is the Rank 1?

-TheStrongestFallenWarrior: Damn it, if you’re going to spread it, at least write down who became Rank 1!

Who on earth was the person who created this situation!

Who was it that pushed out Extinction and achieved Rank 1, they couldn’t help but be interested.

Fortunately, that question was quickly resolved.

-Hey, the information is out! It’s crazy lol

-What is it, what is it! Who is it!?

Follow-up articles were quickly uploaded, and word of mouth spread through those in the western forest of Raven.

-Rank 1 is Kaiser!

-They say it’s even S rank??

-The score difference with Extinction is more than double!

And the moment that information was revealed.

-??

-????

-???

Numerous question marks were posted.

It couldn’t be helped.

-Kaiser? Could it be the Kaiser I know?

-Why is Kaiser suddenly appearing?

-Wasn’t that guy retired from the game?

Kaiser. Who was he?

Wasn’t he the overwhelming Rank 1 user once called a god?

As God of Savior was the sequel to Demrooth, the weight that the name Kaiser carried was by no means light.

-What, who is Kaiser?

-I think I’ve heard of it somewhere…… Is he famous?

-What is that, you X-nerds. Why are you being so noisy?

But Demrooth was a failed game.

In the early days, the names of the Demrooth Rankers were known, but now there were many users who didn’t know Kaiser.

It was a natural progression.

In the long period of 1 year and 6 months without showing his face, God of Savior had become a game enjoyed by 1 billion people.

It was on a different level from Demrooth, which at best was enjoyed by tens of millions of people worldwide.

Considering the end of Demrooth, which had become a dead game with only two-digit concurrent users…….

-Wow, these days kids don’t know Kaiser.

-The world is ending, the world is ending.

-God of Savior users who don’t know Kaiser…… What is this, a red bean bread without red bean paste? [a popular Korean pastry, implying something is missing its essential element]

-Stop with the nonsense. Please refrain from deification.

-Deification? You haven’t played Demrooth, have you? Caught you, you troublemaker.

-Even if you haven’t played Demrooth, if you’re an early God of Savior user, you can’t not know him.

-Ah, at that time, the Demrooth Rankers were all re-examined. I vaguely remember there was a fuss about why Kaiser wasn’t playing.

Of course, this was an unacceptable sight for users who remembered Kaiser, and the resulting cognitive dissonance caused chaos in the posts.

Those who were immersed in memories of the name Kaiser and those who told them not to deify him were in conflict.

Normally, the troublemakers would win, but this time it was different.

-Deification or whatever, shut up and look at the score now, doesn’t the answer come out?

-?? There is no need to argue. The ranking will tell you…….

-Real Overwhelming lololol Extinction is all dead~.

-King or Emperor…… They are just human beings before God…….

-I’m the friend who bet his left ball that Extinction would get one-shot by Kaiser 1 year and 6 months ago. I protected my ball. Thank you.

-Extinction will remember this.

Rank 1 with 1,471 points, an S-rank record.

There was a clear achievement that could not be refuted.

Even if you said a hundred words, it would end with just one word, ‘Yeah~ Rank 1 Kaiser~.’

Because of this, people no longer talked about how great Kaiser was.

Instead, they focused on other items.

-So is it really Kaiser?

-Well…… I honestly don’t believe it. Suddenly after no news?

-But again, looking at the score, I can’t believe it’s not Kaiser.

-No, every time I look at the score, I’m speechless lololol How does 1,471 points even come out? Is that even a possible score?

-Real;; Raven is a graduation quest field boss hunt, right? They call it the magic 700 points there.

-Magic 700 my ass, he doubled it lololololol

-S rank was possible in Raven;; I thought it didn’t exist because even A rank is hard no matter what you do.

-Extinction’s reaction is real curious.

-Real lololol He lost Rank 1 with a score difference of 2 times, Extinction’s fans must be going crazy.

No matter how you look at it, people couldn’t help but focus on the absurd score.

-That means…… No matter how I think about it, right?

-Wow…… I thought I would never see it again, but I would witness such a moment in my life.

-Everyone take off your clothes and scream!

It was literally an unbelievable event, and this first event in the history of God of Savior was clearly telling them.

-Kaiser is back!

-God has returned!

Overwhelming Rank 1 in Demrooth.

The true owner of the brilliant throne.

Kaiser, who had become a forgotten hero of the past, had returned.

It was the moment when the name Kaiser was clearly etched in the minds of God of Savior users.

Bang!

And that was certainly not just for ordinary users.

“Move quickly!!”

“How is it possible that no one knew until Kaiser achieved Rank 1 in Raven!? There are dozens of users near the spider web!!”

“Catch him, somehow catch him first. We’re all dead if another guild snatches him.”

“No, what were you doing in Arde that you’re suddenly running wild now?”

This news spread quickly, and it was the same for the leaders of the guilds.

From medium-sized guilds to large guilds that were known by name…… Numerous guilds stepped forward.

Now was the time to move even a little faster, when the heavy-assed top 10 guilds were sure to be watching each other.

‘What an absurd score…… Is this the true value of the previous generation’s Rank 1?’

‘S rank was possible in Raven?’

‘He’s really crazy…….’

Kaiser was a big fish worth enough.

Not just a big fish, but a super-big fish that would raise the value of the guild by at least one level!

‘But no matter how much Kaiser is, he started 1 year and 6 months late. It doesn’t make sense to break the vested interests.’

‘Kaiser knows that much too.’

‘This is a kind of declaration. A declaration that he has returned, so anyone should try to satisfy him!’

‘It’s too late if the top 10 guilds move. We have to scout him first. Even if that’s not possible, we have to plant a good image at least!’

For them, now was the only opportunity.

Of course, things in the world don’t always go as planned.

Kaiser would be the sweetest fruit for them, but if things went wrong, he would be the most threatening poison.

‘If it doesn’t work out…… It might be better to destroy it than to be taken away.’

‘The guild that takes Kaiser will be the next candidate guild. Rather than losing that much symbolism…….’

At that time, his position as a low-level would be important.

They moved quickly, anticipating what might happen if things went wrong, and gathered in one place as if they had made a promise.

The city of promise, Brion.

The second city on the main continent and the place where the stage of Abtartel unfolds in earnest.

“Okay! We’re the first in line!”

“Damn it, look at these rat-like things flocking.”

“Hey, let’s not cut in line!”

“What? Are you trying to fight me right now!? Do you know what guild we are and you’re being so cocky!”

The warp [teleportation portal] in front of the starting point was full of scouts.

The warp, which was already narrow, was crowded with hundreds of users, and the passing users couldn’t help but frown.

“What, who are those people? Why are they gathered like that?”

“Ah, uncomfortable…… If it’s a guild, it’s a guild.”

“Didn’t you hear? Kaiser came back this time. As soon as he came back, he took Rank 1 in Raven, so they’re all trying to scout him now.”

“Kaiser? Wow, could it be that Kaiser?”

“Jackpot…… I saw the ranking, but that was real.”

Naturally, the news spread among the users, and many users started talking about it.

“Damn it, tsk. Anyway, I’ve never seen the guild guys have any manners. Do I have to be subjected to noise pollution even in the game.”

“I have to avoid it because it’s dirty, tsk.”

“Let’s watch. Who’s going to take him.”

“I have to do a quest…… Honestly, I can’t stand this. Call.”

Among them, there were people who cursed and went their way, but there were also many who were curious about who would be the winner of this fierce competition.

How long had it been since it became crowded for various reasons.

“Kaiser-nim!”

“Yes? Who are you?”

“Ah, I’m sorry…… Uh, are you perhaps Kaiser-nim!? Can I see your information just once…… Ah, yes, I’m sorry.”

As time went on, the crowd not only didn’t decrease but rather increased, forming a sea of people, and they couldn’t see Kaiser even after talking to the constantly entering users.

At this point, they couldn’t help but express their doubts.

“?”

“What’s wrong? Why isn’t he showing up?”
