...The world had so much classic back then, people in the park feeding birds, couples being sweet and families having fun together, beautiful days and memories that last, then all ruined after the "Disaster" came, well , it all started dating way back to 7 years in the past, on the exact day of christmas in the year 20XX, our family which only consists of me, my younger sister and my mom were happily celebrating christmas when suddenly...

...----------------...

...time stopped......

..., although I can't make movements, I still got my consciousness, then minutes later I heard a angelic voice, it introduced itself as Viva, its purpose for being here stated that humanity was on its verge of a cliff. I didn't believed it at first with such resources and manpower on earth what could possibly push us to that extent? It explained all disasters that will come starting from the frequent earthquakes because of the rifts opening to the fantasy like dungeons and things that are new to the book! It lastly called that there will be people that will gain superhuman and unnatural capabilities, protectors that will defend the planet against the Wave will be called Rankers, but it feels-- different, why do I feel like I'm the only person hearing it? It stated that it knows the whereabouts of my father who even I his own son had not seen his face as he had left us long after I got born, the voice said that he is stalling backTheBigOne in this so called Tower shaped--pentagon and so father asked it to convey a message that said that I must took care of the family as the eldest while he is gone, then lastly before the message end, he left me a treasure he obtained to be practice ahead of all and to someday I may be of help to him with enough power to protect my loved ones!....

...So now signing in on this world of Dungeon Mania as your Ascended Ranker!...

"Hello I am Lee Jeong Yoo, I am currently turning 20 this Year of 20XX. I am currently still a student in the University near my hometown."

"Well, since First Grade I really don't have much achievments that I can be proud of, but I think of ways of making my Mom and Sister proud of me!"

"I usually start my day waking up minutes after the sun rose, I am the one doing the labor works in the house, mom does the groceries, and my little sister is the one cleaning the dishes. I am self aware of my health, and so I always eat healthy foods like fresh fruits, green vegetables, and take Vitamins! But I rarely exercise, because I don't have much time to spare, lastly I go directly to the University."

"With only mom around that has a permanent job, I normally don't ask money and suggest to let her use it by herself, I always find a way to support myself, and generally most of the money I gain is from selling premium accounts from games or from trading online"

"Oh by the way this is my stubborn, idiot sister, Lee Jeong Soo, she is always active in her studies, and is a extreme hardworking girl. She is currently at the age of 16? I think, well that doesn't matter for now, what matter is how I, as the eldest, will be productive to earn, and raise the family when mom can't do no more as she ages"

"Nowadays people tend to have a high chance to find a job overseas, but the problem is who will take care of those who was left behind? At the time we ate lunch, I propose that after I graduate I'll go overseas to find a job. As expected mom will always disagree no matter how hard I persuade her, well I understand mom worrying about me, but the question is still there. What if mom could do no more? I prefered not to argue with her, but before we end the conversation I asked"

"Mom, do you know my dad and where he i--"

"Before I even finish the question, time stopped... A soft voice reached me as if it knows me"

"Dear child are you by chance Lee Jeong Yoo?"

"Yes, but how do you know me, and what happened to my family?"

"So finally I found you, and your family"

"What do you want with us?!"

"I dare not harm you, and your family, but let me first introduce myself. I am Viva, I am a friend of your dear dad"

"What?! You know where dad is!?"

"I shall tell you that later, but let me first serve my purpose of being here. Actually I am only a projection of someone living millenias of years ago in the higher realm, but now is only a messenger of those warriors fighting the Wave, my purpose of being here is to relay you a message of your dear dad, because your planet is on the verge of its own death door, so listen carefully, and follow every detail that I will say"

"It then proceed to read the message, it mentioned firstly is how father is deeply sorry for the time of not being with us, secondly he then mentioned the Wave, I don't know what it is, it explained that the Wave is a type of catastrophe that will fall upon here in the near future, thirdly it then speaked that there will be rifts opening which contains creatures that will also be included in the Final Wave, and so to reduce the capacity of them early as by the next month he said that I must reach a certain amount of strength, and ability to prevent the disaster wreaking havoc to this planet."

"A minute before he left, he lastly said that there will be competitors of mine that will be named in the near future as Rankers that I must be wary of, the purpose of them is like the name suggests, means that they will be opponents of mine that is determined to rank up to next order. He said that my father is worried sick that it will harm the family, and so he then entrusted me a box which contains something he put his life on the line within his ability, the soft voice of dad's friend said that my dad is actually a well mannered guy, and is extremely powerful, the gift is precious, and so I must carefully support it with full effort"

"Sir one last question, do you possibly know what place my dad resides"

"He is currently at the moment we speak is at a tower, in the higher realm, and is stalling time to delay the arrival of the Final Wave, that is all I am permitted to tell you"

"Thank god that dad's still alive... Thank god"

"If you wish to meet him you must train hard, and be productive at the hardest times, so when the time comes you may share some of the burden he is carrying. Well it seems that is all, so I will now bid farewell, and goodluck carving your own path in this world"

"The voice left, and everything is back to normal. Oh I forgot that I have to deal with my family for now hehe"

To be Continued---

"Hello I am Lee Jeong Yoo, and this is how I became the World's Greatest!"

"Today is the 10th of January 20XX, days had passed since the day I ran into with the voice, and now, in my room, holding the box that father left me. Before I opened the box I took precautions first, I locked the door, closed the curtains, and to calm myself mentally to what will happen. I am now ready, and will open the box!"

"Well... how do I explain this, there is only a pill, A single one at that! To be sure to not get food poisoned, I sniffed the outer layer firstly, it smells sweet like a chocolate, and fragrant as a lotus. I don't care what must happen, but I trust my father!"

"I had eaten the pill, yet nothing happened... but as night arrived, minutes before I went to the bed, my stomach ached, I knew it! A catch! It's not like my stomach ached, because of not taking a dump, but something must have been added to the pill that what makes this horrifying experience feel as hell. I felt extreme coldness, and blazing hotness at the same time. I can't take the pain at this point of time, but I am miraculously still holding on. I screamed as soft that I can go, I must not bother the others! I feel nauseous like I was going to vomit anytime, the night went with sickness, and immeasurable pain that can't even let you go to sleep."

"Several hours later, I somehow survived that endless pain of torture! The sun rose, and finally the aching stopped. As I was going to get up from the bed, I feel nauseous again."

"This was not part of the script! What witchcraft was added to that ball of sh*t! I went back to bed, but the head ache won't stop!"

"Thinking that vomiting will help easen the pain, I forced myself to vomit, but instead of expecting that gross weirdly half-digested food that comes out, a different thing that shocked me to the level that I fainted. As I woke up a ghost appeared right infront of me!"

"The ghost had the body of a kid! The ghost that looks like walking in air, I didn't bother to wake it up, and so I went downstairs to eat, then go straight to school. The homeroom teacher Ms. Hwang Jin Ha is the one that I admire the most. She has the looks of an angel, but the best is that she is a genius! She went to countless competitions to only win first place, Fahh... I wish I can end up together with someone like her. The class started, now is currently the test day which will determine the status of my future!"

"As I was getting my ballpoint pen in the bag, I grabbed a thing which supposedly be my pencil case, but then... The one in my hand is not my pencil case, but the ghost from earlier! I was shocked to death, to the extent of that I peed my pants. I requested a Bathroom break to Ms. Hwang, as she agreed, I rushed rapidly to the men's bathroom with the ghost i'm holding which seems to be that only I can see! In the bathroom we talked, the ghost made the first move"

"Hello are you thy Lord?"

"I was confused to what it say saying"

"Oh foolish of me, pardon me for the way I speak. Let me tell you what am I. I was made by a Martial Dominator who conquered thousands of realms millions of years ago to serve the purpose of finding my new master after thy creator died."

"I tried my best to understand, and follow every details starting from that he is a soul acting as a guide to the whom chosen he's talking about"

"Do you know your name?"

"I can't remember my name since I was in slumber for generations, but you can make me one though"

"I am guessing he is telling the truth, but who am I to name someone who's original owner had the power to control fate!"

"I can read your mind mortal, thou shall not fret to try to give a name for me, I'm someone not bother mentioning"

"So... are we still on the naming part?"

"It's up to you mortal to what part you're mentioning about"

"So what is the catch if I give a name for you?"

"You can own me fully mortal, and I shall grant you as thy overlord"

"Wow never in my life did I happen to gain something this massive, So how about we name you... Pyke?"

"I shall accept anything thy liege offers, from now on I will be a soul named Pyke!"

"HAHA! From now on we are side buddies! I presumed father is the one who sent you"

"Oh so you are that venerable one's son, I do know him, but it seems that we are not perfectly compatible for a pact, and so he sent me to you incase there are chances that I we maybe will have a stable pact"

"Minutes of conversation with Pyke made priceless memories, and I do not regret walking to this path of life"

"Hey can I confirm something?"

"Anything you ask my liege, but there are limitations"

"So am I the only one that can see you?"

"Seems to be a simple question, Yes, you are the only one that can view me"

"Oh that's seems refreshing, so how about we go back to my classroom?"

"We went back to the room. I started my test without actually reviewing the notes that I putted effort to! Pyke saw me struggling with my test"

"My liege let me help you, this is only child's play"

"Yeye.. this is child's play, soooo what is number 10?"

"Hmmm.. Let me see my liege, the question is... what makes electricity? Let me view through every information available. Aha! My liege electricity is produced by rapidly moving the electrons that carries electrical charge to make electricity!"

"Ooooo... that is high technology you got there!"

"With endless questions in the test, we finally managed to finished it all."

"Thanks Pyke for all that"

"It's my honor my liege to aid you"

"Awww.. Skip the formalities just call me by my name, so how about we properly introduce ourselves this time? Let me start first, I am Seong Yoo, and you are..?"

"I am Pyke my liege"

"Drop the liege thing"

"Ok my liege"
