She was trying to hold back from the laugh. “……Ehem.” I deliberately coughed to make her come back to her senses. And as soon as she realizes that, she quickly looks at me with an evil grin on her face. “I will let you know about the practical battle ranks now~” She said. “Huh. You are up to something, aren’t you?” “Must be your imagination.” I doubt that. “For Rank C, 0-200 kills. Rank B, 201-300 kills. Rank A, 301-400 kills and Rank S, 401-1000 kills.” She said.

Your near-perfect life is too expensive a dream for Maia. Unconsciously, tears streamed down Ruby's face. Maia's anger at Ruby's poor life choices made her furious, wondering why a woman as stupid as Ruby would throw away the life Maia desired. ‘Because this is a gift from God, I can't possibly waste it. Rest easy up there, Ruby. Look at me, who will be the perfect wife in this second life,’ Maia concluded, muttering to herself. Now she smiled softly as she took Mariana's hand, "Okay," she said briefly.

My heart sank to my stomach.

Xiao Yao said mocking the user a bit, after all, achieving a perfect ranking is only possible in the tutorial. "Tutorial? I didn't have a tutorial, when I woke up in the middle of the war of some ancient empire with the sword stuck in my belly the system I was given announced the mistake of being sent there...

I'm the only SSS rank user, of course, I stole the core of that world, and I was going to destroy... Cough... Cough... well, that's it”

“The colours show their ranks. Starting from the bottom is Cadet-black, Newbie-purple, Rookie-red, Novice-blue, Experienced-green, Seasoned-yellow, Veteran-white, Champion-bronze, Ace-silver and finally Legendary-gold. Ten ranks in all. There are a few ways to earn your ranks. Usually one would start from the bottom and make their way up by doing quests. Some aced the exam and got an upper rank right off the bat. Some earn points by contributing to the community by financial or military means.” “I see. I get it now. So I either have to work my way up or ace the test somehow.” Matthew nodded a few times. “Yes, are there any more questions you want to ask?” The receptionist asked in confirmati

I had a crush on him for four years, and we got engaged in our second year of college after I nearly died saving him from drowning. In my previous life, I knew he had feelings for Yvonne, even though she did not show much interest in him.
