Ranks

It was like a wave wash as people slowly awaken, but no one else got a title like the first two people. Only two people knew about the title they got. The world slowly fell into destruction; people used their new given strength for anything they could.

Some were heroic, claiming to be a hero; some went into hiding; they even add some food stored up in case the reason they gain strength was because an apocalypse will soon purge the world.

Others became more religious and prayed to whatever gods they believed. Because the notification they received claimed the gods were watching, they tried not to do anything against their religious belief.

Finally, the last group of people, people like Ave and Greg, went into any training they could, whether endurance training or fighting training. They notice it was easier for them to learn techniques in this new world. All they had to do was read the full details of the method, and they will imagine it in their head, and it was easier to recollect.

The governments of every country saw an opportunity to create an unstoppable army; they started recruiting young men into their military, but no one wanted to be under the government, so most of the men refused. They even started different organizations ready to rebel against their country's Government.

Tyrant became even more powerful; chaos grew everywhere, the prisoner escaped prison, no one went to work. It only being a week, but everyone knew what kind of opportunity this is. They knew this was their chance, and it became a risk it all or loses it all type of game.

Like an unstoppable tsunami, some gave people the throne and wanted a leader. People who were staying conservative became active suddenly, people who were all over the city looking for something. They had a baseball bat, kitchen knife, and some had riffles. They were hunting something, but what is it they were hunting. They all started making groups, and some hunted on their own. Why?

It started two days ago with a notification.

[DING]

[Everyone has awakened; now the game can start. There are specters everywhere in this world. Hunt them down to grow powerful]

[The more you hunt, the more the gods will be interested in you, and they shall grant you enormous power to rule the world]

[The rank of the world has unlocked. The higher you are on the rankings, the higher the chance of you gaining strength from a mighty god]

[The gods have a rank too, So know your worth]

Since people love to believe in what they have seen, they immediately wanted a powerful god's power; some even started to imagine what they could do with their new skill.

Immediately after the notification, a woman who has been hiding in her room with her child said the word rank to check what her rank is in the world.

[1947289246][unknown][0]

[1947289247][Unknown][0]

[1947289248][You][0]

[1947289249][unknown][0]

[1947289250][unknown][0]

[Do you wish to see the top 10][Yes or no]

[you can make your name known if you want to][Yes or No]

She could only see two people above her, two people below her. She also thought the only reason she could see the top ten, probably because they were the top ten. She didn't even think twice before she said no to making her name known.

Even a fool could tell if her name was known, and people below her know her rank. They might even try to kill her. She also notices her number said zero, so she thought of the specter thingy; she knew she hadn't killed any, so that must be why her name was zero.

She then asked to see the top ten.....

[1][Eve][79]

[2][Adam][63]

[3][Unknown][50]

[4][Unknown][42]

[5][Jay Rafael][39]

[6][Unknown][30]

[7][Unknown][22]

[8][Unknown][21]

[9][Sakura Inoki][20]

[10][Gboyega Adebajo][17]

Like everyone else, this woman was surprised they just got this message a few minutes ago; how did the top 10 people already kill a lot of specters, especially the number 1 ranked. She thought of a time she used to play MMORPG, the most influential player is the first to get information about a new update, and the GP's have to wait a few days later. GP; General population, she didn't need anyone to explain to her about the situation.

She was a single mother who wanted to protect her seven-year-old child; She immediately gripped whatever weapon she could find. She grabbed her son and passed him a knife; she slowly runs her hand through his hair. "son, remember, whatever happens, you must remain strong," The little boy she was talking to looked confused. "we are going to hunt to survive not for power or favor of the gods."

She gripped onto a piece of paper; she immediately tore it into pieces. One could see she was holding back her tears; maybe it because she didn't want to cry in front of the little boy. She threw the stored paper into the bin in the corner of her room; she and her son slowly walked out. She didn't know how to find this specter, but she knew she had to.

Just as she walked out, a tiny part of the paper in the bin flew out from the container unto the ground by some breeze coming through the window. the word on the paper wasn't complete, but one could read the word.' Rash.'
