Trending Topic: Leaderboards!

[CallmeBrother]: Hey, have you guys checked out the Leaderboards yet? The people at the top of the list must be cracked. I wanna know how they did it

[ApostleofToast]: Yeah! Wtf are these guys. How are they level 9 already when I am struggling to reach Level 3? Are they some kind of combat geniuses or something?! I struggle to kill a single goblin!

[HolyTaco]: That’s right. Each level requires double the previous amount of Experience. You mean to tell me 6 people have gathered around 25k EXP EACH?! That’s total BS. They must have found a glitch that they are exploiting. Filthy Hackers!

[HeroSimple]: Don’t accuse others of cheating just because they dont have your level of game sense: Utter Trash. I actually saw some of these guys fighting in the wild. It was just crazy in every meaning of the word.

[Bird Heart Love]: well what are you waiting for. Tell us already!

[HeroSimple]: Well I will give y’all a brief rundown of what I know.

Level Rank #1 Player: Leo.

A beastfolk male(?) Who uses a shield with a blade like gauntlet. Very strong martial artist. Was able to battle Kobolds and wolves like he was handling children.

He also holds Rank #1 in the Player Weapons, Fighter Class and Male Beauty Categories.

[PressAtoDoubt]: What kind of nonsense is this Simp spouting! Also what the hell is male(?) supposed to even mean?!

The following post was a candid photo of Leo which showcased his facial features, delicate yet wild. If not for the frown on his face, he would have many a man falling in love with him within a heartbeat.

[PressAtoDoubt]: I see your point, My apologies fiend How can a guy be that damn adorable. But it doesn’t change the fact that they might have found a bug to exploit or something.

[GameNerd10]: That is impossible. This game is far too polished to have a glitch like that. The difficulty is also sky high. I did a bit of digging and Dungeons before their first clear will have their difficulty increased by like 10X or something.

[PressAtoDoubt]: Really? That’s crazy! 6 People cleared a dungeon that had a 10X difficulty modifier on it? No way that is not some exploit at play.

[Empress]: Instead of whining and bitching that someone else is doing better than you, why not go out there and try to do better to match and maybe even surpass them! Don’t make excuses.

[HeroSimple]: Empress?! Aren’t you the 7th ranked Level Wise and 1st on the female Beauty list, 1st on the Wealth list and the 2nd Rank Warrior?! Falling short only to Luna who has a hidden class in the Warrior Department.

[Empress]: I am not going to settle for being 2nd. If you are not first, what is the point of anything? You are simply the best of all the losers.

-You have Logged out.

See you again soon Player [Empress]

A girl with long brown hair pushed herself away from her desk as she let out a sigh.

"Why did I jump in and say that? I was only trying to find out if that party released a clear strategy for the dungeon..."

She was undoubtedly beautiful with perfect skin, eyes like gemstones and a flawless complexion. The main issue was that she did not smile, giving her the distinct impression that she was some form of Ice Queen.

She hated the name she gave herself but it was supposed to be a way to project confidence, something she truly didn’t have despite everything.

Letting out another sigh, she perused the rankings, hoping that one day, she would be able to have friends while she dominated the top of the list.

Meanwhile....

Back at Samael Pharmaceuticals, Melanie Samael had a different reaction after checking the Rankings.

"Of course my darling Adam is in the rankings! My Adam is just So good~!"

Gone was the strict, no nonsense expression that she floated. Her annoyance was merely an act to hide her true feelings.

"Please don’t hate your sister! Once I run this company, I will make sure to take care of you. I will love you, dote on you, praise you, ravish you. You’ll be mine and mine alone!"

She huffed as she stroked a photo of Horo that was taped to her wall.

"Soon...Soon..I will have you~!"

She glanced around her room, staring at the dozens if not hundreds of similar candid photos of her brother that plastered her walls and even the ceiling. Melanie clearly had an unhealthy obsession with her brother but she managed to hide it.

However, she was also incredibly possessive. Any girl that had even shown the remotest interest in Adam, she dealt with via extreme measures. If you batted an eyelash at her Adam, She would crush the insolent whelp’s entire family.

"I should deal with those vixens who are hanging around my brother. He needs to remain pure for me! Soon....I’ll fix everything. I swear~!"

Her quiet promise to the photo she was slowly stroking was heard by none.
