First Place — Ignore By Everyone
Points — Calculation in Progress…
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The moment the leaderboard updated, countless tutorials across different dimensions fell into silence.
Some stared in disbelief.
Some gritted their teeth.
Some couldn't even understand what they were looking at.
And in one of those tutorials—
A young man quietly stared at the floating screen with cold eyes.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Player Name — Jun Jue
Status — Reincarnated
Gender — Male
Class — Fist Demon (Legendary)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Jun Jue slowly clenched his fist.
Crack.
A powerful wave of Qi spread around his body before settling down again.
"I'm only ninth place…?"
His expression darkened.
In his previous life, Jun Jue had been a martial arts master feared across countless sects.
The Demon Fist.
A monster who stood at the peak of cultivation.
But in this life—
He had been reborn as an ordinary person.
An ordinary family.
An ordinary world.
An ordinary life.
Until the tutorial began.
Stage-1 had been difficult for him because he possessed neither strength nor cultivation at first. However, after barely surviving and entering Stage-2—
His memories returned.
The moment that happened, everything changed.
Without wasting even a second, Jun Jue immediately began cultivating again using the system's power.
He gathered Qi rapidly.
Opened his meridians.
Tempered his body.
And eventually obtained the Legendary Class—
[Fist Demon]
The exact title people once used to fear him in his previous life.
It almost felt as if the system itself recognized who he truly was.
From that point onward, Jun Jue dominated Stage-2 completely.
He trained relentlessly.
Defeated countless monsters.
Cleared hidden missions.
Inside Stage-2 the Hidden Stage, City of Nikas—
He crushed nearly every enemy effortlessly.
Even the Captain Commander barely managed to slow him down.
As for the World Eater—
Jun Jue's expression darkened slightly.
"That thing was abnormal…"
Even with his experience, he instinctively understood he couldn't win against it yet.
So he retreated.
Still—
He believed his achievements were more than enough.
And yet—
"Ninth place?"
His brows twitched violently.
"Who exactly are these people above me?"
Every person ranked higher than him felt like an insult to his pride.
But the most terrifying existence—
Was the player ranked first.
[Ignore By Everyone]
Since Stage-1, that name had remained at the top with a massive gap in points.
And now—
Even the system itself couldn't calculate his score properly.
Jun Jue narrowed his eyes.
"Who are you…?"
His instincts told him something was wrong.
Was that person also reincarnated like him?
A being from another planet?
Or perhaps something even stranger?
"What exactly did he do to make the system malfunction?"
For the first time since regaining his memories—
Jun Jue felt genuine curiosity toward another player.
Then slowly—
A smile spread across his face.
"Interesting."
A dangerous pressure erupted from his body.
"But someday I'll surpass you."
His eyes burned with confidence.
"Just wait."
"I'll show all of you what a true master can do."
"Hahahahaha!"
His laughter echoed through the empty tutorial space.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Scene Change.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Inside the white waiting room—
Suho stared blankly at the floating system window.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rewards are currently being processed…
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"…What am I supposed to do now?"
Suho looked genuinely depressed.
"I can't even get my rewards properly…"
He slowly sat down in the middle of the room.
"What if another hidden stage boss suddenly appears?"
His expression became darker.
"I'm completely doomed…"
Behind him, the giant skeleton army quietly stared at him.
Suho held his head dramatically.
"And now I have to meet other players too…"
"I don't even know what kind of monsters are out there…"
The skeleton army continued staring silently.
One goblin slowly nodded in agreement.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Stage-3 — Special Stage
Party Formation Stage
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Players may send and accept party requests.
After the time limit ends, players without parties will be randomly assigned to one.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Suho stared at the message for a moment.
Then his eyes widened.
"…Wait."
He immediately stood up.
"There are parties?"
Suho quickly opened the party formation board.
And froze.
"…Why are there so many people?!"
Countless names filled the screen.
Suho panicked slightly.
"What do I even do here…?"
He thought for a moment.
Then suddenly snapped his fingers.
"Ah! Right!"
A shameless smile appeared on his face.
"I'm rank one."
"So if I send requests starting from rank two…"
"They'll obviously accept me immediately."
"Hahahaha!"
Suho proudly stretched his hand toward the screen.
But before he could send anything—
Clack.
Veno suddenly grabbed his wrist.
"…Huh?"
Suho slowly turned his head.
Veno's skeleton face was staring directly at him.
And somehow—
It looked serious.
Very serious.
The exact same expression it had before throwing Suho into the hidden stage pond.
The moment Suho remembered that incident—
His expression immediately became tense.
"…Wait."
Suho slowly looked left.
Then right.
Then up.
Then down.
His face turned pale.
"There isn't another hidden stage nearby, right?"
Veno remained silent.
That somehow made it scarier.
Suho swallowed nervously.
"What is it now…?"
Veno slowly raised his other hand.
Suho flinched instinctively.
Then—
Veno pointed at the party board.
And made a clear gesture.
"No."
Suho blinked.
"You don't want me to form a party?"
Veno nodded slightly.
"…Why?"
Veno turned its head.
Toward the massive army filling the safe room.
Skeletons.
Monsters.
Tamed beasts.
Goblin Commanders.
The entire room was overflowing with Suho's forces.
Suho also slowly looked around.
"…Even if I don't form one, the system will randomly assign me anyway."
Veno immediately pointed toward the leaderboard.
Specifically—
Toward Suho's name.
[Ignore By Everyone]
Then Veno slowly dragged its finger across its own neck.
Suho froze.
The meaning was painfully obvious.
Revealing his identity could be dangerous.
The players outside weren't normal.
They were monsters capable of clearing stages in a single attempt.
People with talents.
Constellations.
Legendary classes.
Special powers.
And right now—
Suho couldn't even properly use his own abilities.
The atmosphere around him became heavy.
Suho realized it again.
The world had changed completely.
This wasn't Earth anymore.
This wasn't a normal game either.
Out there—
There were people who would kill for power.
Kill for rankings.
Kill to become first place.
"…Veno might be right."
Suho slowly lowered his hand from the party board.
"I should stay quiet for now…"
"And think carefully."
After some time—
Notifications suddenly began appearing one after another before Suho's eyes.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Party Request Received.
Party Request Received.
Party Request Received.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Suho blinked repeatedly.
"…Huh?"
More notifications appeared nonstop.
Apparently—
Everyone wanted the first ranked player in their party.
But amidst all those notifications—
One message continued appearing over and over again.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Authority "Ignored By The Universe" has been activated.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Suho stared at it quietly.
Until now, he had never properly checked that authority.
Mostly because too many insane things kept happening around him.
But now—
He had no other choice.
"…Maybe this thing is the answer."
Suho slowly reached his hand toward the screen.
Then—
He clicked on—
[Authority — Ignored By The Universe]
