"Welcome to i-Meta broadcasting. After all the anticipation Into The Metaverse has finally been released and it's been almost 24 hours since its release. Soon there will be the first i-Meta event after it marks its 24 hours release time!"
"The event will have double experience and drop rate bonus. Completing quests will also give some points that can be used to get bonus rewards when the event ends."
"Currently we have with us the rank 1 player in the game Iwan Angevin! So let's ask him about his opinion about this."
"Mr. Iwan, what do you think about this event?"
"The double drop rate is pretty nice but double experience will have a big impact."
"Why do you think so Mr. Iwan?" The female host asked Iwan.
Iwan sighed and replied, "Every time you level up the experience needed to level up again increases exponentially. So it will get harder and harder to level up in the future. As a result those who are participating in the grand opening event will have a great lead. If you want to be in the top rankings you must participate in this event!"
The female host exclaimed, "Wow, so you are saying this event is very important for you rankers?"
"It might be one of the crucial parts of your path to rankers." Iwan responded casually.
"You are currently level 8, right?"
"Yes," Iwan commented.
"So how difficult do you think it is to level up compared to when you just started?" asked the female host.
Iwan wore a serious look and said, "It's already quite difficult for me. I have to kill several monsters or enemies higher level than me before I can level up. And I think it will get more difficult in the future."
The female host nodded, "I see. It seems it will be harder in the future. Thank you for coming to our show. We have taken sir's too much time. It's almost about time for the event to start in a few seconds. After knowing the importance of this event I dare not delay Mr. Iwan anymore. I hope sir will have a fun time playing i-Meta."
Iwan Angevin nodded and was about to leave as he was also in a hurry to leave and connect to i-Meta. But before he could leave a reporter suddenly came to the stage and whispered something to the female host. She was shocked hearing something from the reporter and a surprised look appeared on her face as she inquired the reporter if it's actually true or not. As an answer the reporter nodded solemnly.
The female host immediately looked toward the camera and shouted, "There is a shocking news that just came out." She then pointed toward the screen behind her and the ranking list of Into The Metaverse popped up on the screen.
There were all the names of peoples whose level was higher than the average player and they were in the top 100. At this moment at the very top of ranking list on rank 1 where there should be the name of Iwan Angevin, There was instead a unknown name, Mr. Necromancer!
[Ranking list]
1st. Mr. Necromancer (Level: 9, Exp: 17%)
2nd. Iwan Angevin (Level: 8, Exp: 83%)
....…
...
…
Broadcast was suddenly on uproar. There were hundreds of thousands of people commenting continuously at the broadcast site making the server somewhat slow. Everyone was questioning how is this possible? Who was this new person and how he directly reached level 9 immediately. Was he cheating? Everyone had doubts.
Just now the reporter had informed the female host that the grand opening event had already started. He also told her that the ranking list suddenly changed and someone suddenly replaced Iwan Angevin and took his first spot!
Iwan Angevin was also dumbfounded and speechless. How did someone unknown suddenly take his first spot?
