Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

Ranking.

[Ace POV],

[Ranking]

[Personal Ranking], [Level Ranking], [Affiliation Ranking], [General Ranking],

...

There were four sub-options under [Ranking]. Seeing this, I chose to go from first to last and willed my thoughts to choose [Personal Ranking].

....

[Personal Ranking],

[You cannot view your personal ranking information as you aren't yet a rank 1 specie],

.....

When I read that I couldn't view my personal ranking because I wasn't a rank one specie yet, I decided to skip the [Personal Ranking] sub option and go straight to the [Level Ranking].

I didn't expect to have to be a rank 1 specie merely to read information. Since the term 'rank' appeared in this part, I assumed it had something to do with our rank or something akin to a leaderboard, but I had no idea I had to be a rank 1 specie before I could even read information.

What I didn't expect, and was only partially expecting, was for the [Level Ranking] to give me the same message.

....

[Level Ranking],

[You cannot view your leveling ranking information as you aren't yet a rank 1 specie],

.....

Seeing this, I didn't waste any time and moved on to the next sub option, [Affiliation Ranking], which displayed the same message as the previous two.

I'm not sure what Affiliation has to do with my rank.

At this time, I was already thinking that this [Ranking] part might be obsolete till I evolved into a rank 1 specie. Though I intended to leave the [Ranking] section, I opted to check the last sub option under [Ranking], [General Ranking], to see if it would provide the same information as the previous three sub options.

Though I expected the [General Ranking] to be the same as the other three sub options, it unexpectedly showed me something else.

[General Ranking],

[Planet Spe Species Ranking],

[[1] John Stone (Rank 1 Specie)],

[[2] Chloe Norman (Rank 1 Specie)],

[[3] Bruce Rock (Rank 1 Specie)],

....

...

[[6] Jessica Copper (Rank 1 Specie)],

...

[[8] Andrew Dawn (Rank 1 Specie)],

...

...

Looking at the leaderboard in front of me, which kept running down the list with names until a part that said I could flip to another 'page' to continue the list appeared on the panel in front of me.

And one thing all of these names had in common was that they were all rank 1 species, and the primordial chronicle specifically stated 'Planet Spe Species Ranking,' implying that these people were similar to me in the sense that they had only awoken eight days earlier.

To me, this period was too short for someone to become a rank 1 specie, and even if they were, there shouldn't be a lot of them, but when I looked at the list in front of me and saw a few hundred people who were already in rank 1, I realized that my assumptions were incorrect.

I knew from what I saw in this [Ranking] section that all of the names mentioned here were genuine rank 1 species, unlike me and my team.

Perhaps they had opportunities, or perhaps the difficulties of their job quest was quite easy for them, or perhaps the job they chose was common. In any case, these guys were real rank 1 species.

What puzzled me were the names in the top 1 to top 30. Some of these were well-known names to everyone on planet Spe who had received some type of education.

Before the apocalypse, these 30 names on the panel were the names of planet Spe's emperor and empress.

It's strange that even though the apocalypse brought everyone down to the same level and power was ultimately what mattered, the emperors and empresses nonetheless rose to the top of humanity.

I also noticed a familiar name in the top ten.

Andrew Dawn.

King of the Dawn Empire and the father of Adara Dawn, my classmate.

It's strange to imagine he's still on top of humanity even after the apocalypse.

Still, I'm curious what kind of power he wields and why the top persons on the list are mostly rulers.

Were they aware of the impending apocalypse? I don't think it's reasonable because Adara's father would have kept her by his side before the apocalypse, therefore it must mean that all of these rulers have something in common that has made them this powerful.

Something that convinced me that this assumption was right was the fact that even some of the top 100 here had names recognizable to me, and all of these people with familiar names had something in common.

They were also rulers, but not of empires, but of kingdoms, but because thinking about it wouldn't benefit me, I decided to put it aside and focus on something else.

There were also other modifications to my status that were not related to the Affiliation, Map, Contact, or Ranking functions. I couldn't quite call them functions because of how they seemed, albeit they are in some ways.

[Level: 25[26[72%][+2]],

They were some...additional things here.

It was not difficult to understand and was fairly simple.

Unlike before, it appears that I can now tell how many level ups I have accumulated without having to guess.

It was a valuable and appreciated feature.

And for the percentage beside my level, I'm presuming that's what will inform me how many more primordial records I need to acquire for a level up, and if that's correct, it's also a useful function.

As I considered these things, I rechecked my primordial chronicle status to see if I had missed anything, and when I saw that everything was fine, I closed my primordial status and turned to check on my teammates, and when I saw that they were still busy looking at the thin air[their primordial chronicle], I decided to take a little rest as I closed my eyes.
