"Damn, who is Wings of the Sky? How did they manage to get an S-rank evaluation? They're probably the only one, right?"
"Big boss, please take me under your wing! I've got a sweet voice, good looks, and I'm not clingy—be it as a maid or a queen, I'm cool!"
"Holy crap, S-rank, the only one? That's insane! I thought A-rank was the highest, but there's actually an S-rank!"
"How big of an advantage does that give them? Boss, share some insight!"
"Too strong!"
Everyone was shocked by the S-rank evaluation.
Those who managed to get an A-rank evaluation were already in a rare class, and the IDs that appeared in the game so far were all from powerful factions—without exception.
They had always believed that A-rank was the highest evaluation, so they never expected an S-rank would appear after so much time.
For players who received F-rank evaluations, this was like living in two completely different worlds.
"I suspect they're using hacks, and I have the proof!"
"Damn, I suspect that too! They just entered the game and knew nothing. How the hell did they get an S-rank evaluation? That must be incredibly difficult!"
"What are you all whining about? That's Wings of the Sky, the leader of the Divine Wings Guild. He's one of the strongest, with extremely rich gaming experience and an IQ of 139 as a Go prodigy."
"Don't be scared, but this guy has won so many gaming championships, and he's in a whole different league from you!"
"Bowing down to the boss!"
After hearing the name Divine Wings and being schooled by some veteran players, everyone quickly accepted the situation.
His credentials were incredible. If someone like him couldn't reach S-rank, then who could?
He was the highest of the high—at the top of the pyramid.
In a villa somewhere
The game pod opened, and a cold yet handsome figure climbed out, letting out a long sigh of relief.
He opened his computer, logged into the forum, and saw that his name was indeed all over the screen.
He grabbed a can of energy drink, took a sip, and began posting on the forum.
"The character test in this game is too difficult. Every step is interconnected, full of risks and traps. I think S-rank is the limit. Even if I were to start over and save time, I couldn't achieve a higher evaluation. As for clearing the trial, that's impossible!"
"Or maybe, at my level, I can't even imagine what kind of genius would be able to clear it. If someone clears it, I won't even be able to touch their toes."
He recalled the moment when he was surrounded by five archangels and shook his head.
At that point, he was just running for his life, each step like dancing on the edge of a knife. It was pure luck that he managed to survive until the end.
If clearing the trial was possible, it would require defeating five archangels, over a hundred paladins, countless royal griffins, and thousands of spearmen and archers.
That was nothing but a fantasy!
No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't come up with any solution.
After posting, another wave of responses followed.
"First row, waiting for the big boss! If the boss says S-rank is the limit, then I guess it really is!"
"Yeah, the boss has an IQ of 138 and extensive game experience, so S-rank is the best he can do. Who else could do it?"
"Damn, I'm a D-rank player and I'm bowing down!"
"The boss is being too modest. Let me say this for him: If someone can clear the trial, I'll livestream eating a ton of crap!"
"The guy above is way too conservative. I'll livestream eating an industrial-grade turbocharged engine!"
"Heh, if there's a higher rank, I'll stick my finger in my nose until I bleed to death, and I'm not joking!"
"Wings of the Sky is being humble. By the time you came out, the character evaluation was already over."
"The boss is being too humble!"
Wings of the Sky's post was clearly a reverse flex—at first, everyone thought S-rank was impossible. Now that he was the only one to get it, how could anyone believe there could be a rank higher?
With such an impressive resume and his high IQ, Wings of the Sky was practically unbeatable.
According to him, even if he were to start over, he would probably only get an S-rank, so who could possibly surpass that?
Wings of the Sky looked at the post with a slight smile on his face.
"I'm already at the limit. How could anyone possibly clear the trial?"
He finished his energy drink, then reclined back into the game pod, returning to the Ashan world.
As soon as he entered the game, many players contacted him, most of them from the Divine Wings Guild, congratulating him.
"Boss, you're still so strong!"
When Wings of the Sky logged in, the vice president of the Divine Wings Guild immediately sent him a message.
"Haha, it's nothing special, just don't know if anyone can actually clear the trial. I'm curious too!" Wings of the Sky smiled slightly and replied.
"Boss, you're being too humble! We can't even touch your toes. If anyone clears the trial, what are we? Insects? Dung beetles?" the vice president responded with a laugh.
Just then, the system notification sounded.
Ding! Congratulations to player "Eternal Night King" for clearing the character trial and receiving an SSS-rank evaluation! This is a public announcement!
Ding! Congratulations to player "Eternal Night King" for clearing the character trial and receiving an SSS-rank evaluation! This is a public announcement!
Ding! Congratulations to player "Eternal Night King" for clearing the character trial and receiving an SSS-rank evaluation! This is a public announcement!
For a moment, the world went silent.
Upon hearing the system announcement, all players froze for a moment.
It was as if the video they were watching had just frozen.
After hearing the news, all players simultaneously paused.
"Clear the trial?"
Wings of the Sky was stunned, his calm smile slowly disappearing from his face.
Yes, he had just said it casually, just to show off.
Expecting someone to clear it? What was he expecting?
He never thought anyone could clear the trial!
He looked up at the sky, feeling as though some figure had risen so high that he could never catch up.
SSS-rank evaluation!
How big of an advantage would that give?
Thinking about the reward he received for his S-rank, Wings of the Sky felt a deep sense of gloom.
The game had just started, and yet he already felt three parts wary and fearful.
"Eternal Night King? Who the hell is this?"
