"Alright," Dan began, his voice reverberating through the silent room. He embarked on a tale from ten thousand years ago, a story of the Deity Buzhao and the Guardian Mohe.
As he narrated the exploits of Guardian Mohe, Xu Kai felt an immediate connection, as if invisible threads were being woven together.
He realized that the person who had brought him into this world was none other than Guardian Mohe himself.
Dan's narrative then shifted to Emperor Zhou Yuan and the demon clan. He painted vivid pictures of epic battles, immersing Xu Kai in a world of ancient power struggles. The revelations left Xu Kai in a state of shock.
The stories, filled with mythical beings and legendary heroes, felt like chapters from a fantastical novel. The tales were so captivating and surreal that Xu Kai could hardly believe them.
After that, Dan began to unfold the details of the current situation. "You are in a realm where mythical creatures such as mermaids and beasts coexist harmoniously with humans. However, the Human sects hold a position of superiority above all other sects."
"You are Wu Xie, a member of the Human sect, which is led by the Holy Empress. I, Dan, belong to the Beast clan, under the leadership of Emperor Dhufo and Empress Moyu. They have a son, the Crown Prince of Beast Clan, who is renowned for his exceptional intelligence and, of course, his striking good looks."
"In addition to us, there is the Water clan, led by Emperor Baidu. He has a son named Min Jun, who is known for his frankness and lively spirit."
"Currently, we are in the GuangZhou Continent. This continent is home to four prestigious academies:
1.Abyssal Academy,
2.Oculus Academy,
3.Lorehaven Academy, and
4.Lushan Academy. "
"Among these, Abyssal Academy holds the highest reputation. It is the most powerful and also the most challenging to gain admission into. This academy holds a special place in the heart of the Holy Empress, as her son is a student there."
"Abyssal Academy also shoulders the responsibility of protecting the energy barrier of the GuangZhou Continent. This barrier was created by Emperor Zhou Yuan to shield the continent from the Demon Clan."
"Despite the protective measures, the demons always find a way to infiltrate secretly, intending to disrupt the peace of the continent."
"However, the academies, along with the high-ranked elites, are always vigilant and ready to protect the Continent."
"This realm is a complex tapestry of power dynamics, alliances, and rivalries, Every clan and sect has its own strengths and weaknesses, its own allies and enemies."
He then turned his gaze towards Xu Kai, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "As for you, I don't know you personally. However, you are quite famous because you hold the lowest rank in the GuangZhou continent."
"There is only one person on this continent with a rank of 'G', and that's you," he said, a chuckle escaping his lips.
At this, Xu Kai was left puzzled. He remembered Guardian Mohe mentioning something about ranks, but he didn't quite understand what it meant. He asked Dan to elaborate more on the ranking system.
Dan nodded and proceeded to explain. "The ranking system is a way to measure the power and status of individuals in our realm. It ranges from 'SSR' for the powerful individuals, down to 'G' for the least powerful."
"Your rank, 'G', means that you are currently at the bottom of this hierarchy. But don't worry, ranks can change. With hard work, determination, and a bit of luck, you can improve your rank and rise in the power hierarchy of the GuangZhou continent."
"Wait, ranks? Oh my God, really?" Wu Xie's eyes widened with a mix of surprise and amusement. "Interesting... I mean, it seems fun, right? So, you mean I'm like a very noob player right now, and I need to push my rank up to become powerful?"
He chuckled to himself, finding the comparison to a game quite amusing. "Okay, I swear I'm starting to like all this now," he continued, his tone turning more enthusiastic.
"It's getting more and more interesting! So, when's the next boss battle, and do I get to level up after defeating it?"
The concept of 'ranking' was not foreign to him, but its application in this realm gave it a whole new dimension.
"Haha, this isn't as straightforward as you might think," Dan chuckled, a knowing glint in his eyes. "Attaining a higher rank is no laughing matter. It demands a significant amount of hard work and struggle. It's a path filled with trials and tribulations, where every step forward is earned through sweat and perseverance."
He paused for a moment, letting the weight of his words sink in before continuing. "If it were so easy, I wouldn't be stuck at the 'SSR' rank. Despite my efforts, I've yet to break through to the next level"
"Huh, what? SSR rank?" Wu Xie exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise. "So you're on SSR? Wait, what rank should I go for after G? Tell me more about the ranking system."
He was eager to understand the intricacies of the system that governed this realm, to chart out his path in this new world.
His question was not just about the next rank, but also about the journey that lay ahead, the challenges he would face, and the growth he would experience.
"Well, the ranking system is quite comprehensive," Dan began, his tone reflecting the seriousness of the topic. "It starts from 'F', that is divided into three minor ranks first 'F-', 'F', and lastly 'F+'. Following this, it ascends to 'E', then 'D', 'C', 'B', and finally 'A'."
He paused for a moment, letting the information sink in before continuing. "Beyond 'A', we enter the realm of the higher ranks, which are 'S', 'SS', and 'SSS'. These ranks are reserved for those who have demonstrated exceptional strength and skill."
Dan then moved on to the pinnacle of the ranking system. "Above 'SSS', we have 'SSR'."
He concluded his explanation with a note of reverence. "Beyond 'SSR', there are stages that have only been reached by the most powerful beings in our realm."
"Their power and status are a testament to their incredible abilities and the respect they command in our realm."
As Dan finished his explanation, Xu Kai was left with a deeper understanding of the ranking system. It was a ladder of power and prestige, a reflection of one's abilities and status in the realm.
