The gentle warmth of the sun streaming through the massive glass dome above felt like heaven. I stretched out lazily on the plush lounge chair beside the indoor pool, the sound of faint waves lapping against the tiled edges creating a soothing rhythm. The exclusive six-star hotel was as luxurious as they came, and being here felt like stepping into a different world—a world where rankers ruled and luxury was the least of their spoils.
Clad in swim trunks that hung just right, I lounged comfortably, my toned body glistening faintly under the light. Relaxation was a rare treat, and I wasn't about to waste it. Every now and then, I'd catch a lingering glance from across the pool—a subtle yet unmistakable look from some of the most influential figures in the United States Ranker scene. Men and women alike were stealing glances, and I couldn't entirely blame them. Charm Trait or not, I knew what I brought to the table.
