Welcome to the wonderful world of "Snake's Survival Guide: From Noodle to Nightmare," where survival depends on your strength, skills, and where you stand in the power hierarchy. In this world, both monsters and adventurers are classified into ranks based on their level and abilities. Think of it as the universal way to determine how likely you are to become snake food or the next ruler of the forest.
Here's a breakdown of the power ranking system:
Power Ranking System:1. Unranked (Below Level 10):
If you're below Level 10, congratulations! You're officially unranked, meaning you're pretty much cannon fodder. Monsters and adventurers at this stage are still figuring out how to survive, and honestly, they're more likely to be lunch for a stronger beast than pose any real threat.
2. Rank F (Level 10 - 24):
Welcome to Rank F, where things start to get interesting. At Level 10, you've earned a rank, but don't get too cocky. Most beginner adventurers and low-tier monsters reside here. Strong enough to defend themselves but far from powerful. Think of this as the entry-level phase of survival.
3. Rank E (Level 25 - 49):
Breakthrough! Once you hit Level 25, you enter Rank E. Adventurers and monsters at this level are beginning to develop serious skills, and beasts often evolve as they reach this threshold. This is where the real challenges begin—E-rank monsters can rule their territories, and adventurers start gaining real recognition.
4. Rank D (Level 50 - 99):
Now we're talking. Rank D is where the truly dangerous start to emerge. At Level 50, you're no longer an easy target. Beasts here are often apex predators, capable of wiping out villages or holding territory. Adventurers are seasoned warriors, often forming key parts of guilds or armies.
5. Rank C (Level 100 - 249):
Legends start forming at Rank C. With Level 100, adventurers and monsters at this level are renowned for their power and skills. These are the elite forces—commanders, guild leaders, and beasts so strong that they're feared throughout entire regions.
6. Rank B (Level 250 - 499):
Entering Rank B means you've reached a level of power that few ever achieve. Monsters at this level could destroy towns, while adventurers are revered as heroes or generals. They wield abilities that can alter the fate of kingdoms.
7. Rank A (Level 500 - 999):
Rank A is the stuff of legends. Beasts and adventurers who hit Level 500 are virtually unstoppable forces. Kingdoms rally behind them, and they can change the course of wars with their strength alone. Monsters at this level are apex beings that most wouldn't dare to challenge.
8. Rank S (Level ???? - ????):
If you reach Rank S, you're a force of nature. These individuals and monsters are rare, with power that rivals natural disasters. At this point, they've surpassed mere strength and control world-shaking abilities. Entire nations could fall before a Rank S beast or adventurer.
9. Rank SS (Level ????):
The gods of the world. Rank SS beings are almost mythical, surpassing Level 2000. These creatures or people are so powerful they can reshape the world itself. Ancient dragons, godlike beings, and immortals live at this level. Only the chosen few ever ascend to Rank SS, and their power is the stuff of legends.
Evolution and Breakthroughs:
Reaching a new rank isn't just about hitting the required level. Both monsters and adventurers need to face a breakthrough, a key challenge that tests their strength, intelligence, and abilities. For monsters, this often involves a dramatic evolution, altering their physical form and gaining new abilities. For adventurers, this is more of a mental awakening, unlocking advanced skills or traits that push them beyond their limits.
Skills, Traits, and Levels:
Ranks are also influenced by the skills and traits adventurers and monsters acquire. Some skills are basic and can be leveled up through repeated use, while others are rare and require specific conditions to unlock. Certain monsters evolve based on the traits they acquire from their battles, while adventurers need to constantly improve their skills to remain competitive at higher ranks.
What Does It Take to Evolve?
Monsters and beasts, like our protagonist Sam, need to do more than just fight to evolve. They need to devour or encounter special circumstances, like unique items, magical environments, or overcoming challenges tied to their level. Evolution is a risk—some monsters don't survive the process if they fail to control the unstable power that comes with it.
For adventurers, they must face life-threatening battles, training, and occasionally discover powerful relics or ancient secrets to push past their limits.
Conclusion:
In the world of "Snake's Survival Guide", where you fall on the power ranking system decides whether you're a predator or prey. Every level, every skill, every breakthrough matters. Will you climb the ranks and evolve into something unstoppable, or will you get crushed by those stronger than you?
Remember, strength is everything, but wits and strategy will get you just as far—if not farther.
Hope that clears things up! Now back to Sam's journey from noodle to nightmare... one battle at a time.
