CHAPTER 4: BACK TO MY WORLD

As I arrived back in my own world, I found myself in my office. I was hoping to relax, but a cascade of papers greeted me as I pulled out my chair. To my shock, they were all resignation letters from my guards, maids, and even my housekeeper, who I had known for years. Wondering why, I began reading the one from my housekeeper.

"Hello, master," it began. "This letter concerns my resignation. As you may be wondering why me and all the staff resigned, it's because of the new change the world has gone through. You may remember the founding of dungeons and Awakeneds before you went on your journey. After that, for two weeks, the world was very much changed as guilds were formed by the world's most successful companies and people. As more S-rankers were found, a lot of people thought they may get an S-rank and tested, including all of your staff. Most of your guards were either A or B rank, and a lot of guild scouts came and asked them. The guards accepted as the money they were shown was far more than you have shown them, and also there were more opportunities to get money. The guards took the maids with them as well. I also got the same offer from a big company as I was an elite A-rank, and that's why I'm sorry, but I resigned. Farewell, master. May luck be on your side in the test and in the future."

"So that's why you left," I thought to myself. "Well, I just have to wish them luck because it won't change anything now. If what he said was true, I have to make my own guild or get incorporated into a big guild, or I will be left behind in this world."

For now, since I was tired, I decided to sleep. However, I was awoken by sounds coming from the kitchen. Upon investigation, I found three people in full black rummaging through my belongings. When I confronted them, they laughed, thinking I was powerless alone.

The biggest one approached me, revealing himself as an A-rank. He threatened me with a mana drill, but when he attempted to attack, his drill stopped upon contact with my chest. Seizing the opportunity, I struck back, sending him crashing into the wall.

As his teammates marveled at my strength, I stood ready to face them.

The two left teammates panicked, and one of them said, "Hey, he may be an S-rank to take out an A-rank like that with a single punch," and the other replied, "But all S-ranks are made public after they are tested, but even if he is not an S-rank, we don't stand a chance. We should retreat." The two apologized to me and took their teammate away and left, and I wondered if it was a good idea to let them go.

"Well, for now, let's continue my sleep," and Kaito went to his bed and laid down. Kaito couldn't sleep because of some words the thieves said, "He may be an S-rank," so he wanted to check for himself and decided to do the test the next day.

[The next day]

He waited for some time, and he was called to the test site.

There the tester was waiting for him, and the tester greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Kaito, today you will be having your test, and you will get ranked by what you get. Let's see what the world's best programmer gets."

There were some kinds of orbs in the middle of the room, and he asked me to get in it and release some mana, but the thing is I didn't know what mana was.

I asked what mana was, and he looked confused and said, "I don't know how you don't know mana, but it's how awakened fight if they're magic users and materialize materials to fight with them."

I understood that, but another question came to mind, how do I release mana?

I asked the tester again, and he explained, "Mana is like what fuels your energy. If you have ever fought, you surely have experienced some power surge. Try to imagine that power into your hands. I'm sorry, Mr. Kaito, but this is general knowledge right now. It's been broadcasted live every day, morning and night on the news."

I told him I understood and that I was ready, and I went into the orb. I tried remembering the feeling when fighting and getting its strength into my hand.

It took some time, but I was feeling something going into my hand, and then--some kind of blue shining thing was in my hand and it started going into my body, and moments later I was shrouded in it. I thought' So this is mana.'

The tester nodded, and he looked at his screen--he was shocked, very shocked, and he said" Sorry, Mr. Kaito for the hurry, but your test has ended, you will be informed of your result later. Good day."

Kaito was confused and went home

, but he was thinking of hacking the ranking association. While the tester called the association and told them about what he saw in the test with Kait.

As the association heard what the tester said, they held a meeting with all the heads of the association, including the chairman to discuss it.

The chairman spoke up, "As you already know we have been hiding this from public knowledge but we cant hide it any longer as there have been another addition to them..." Meanwhile, Kaito started hacking the association looking for clues to his test result, and he found a file containing his name and another 3 people, and he touched it, the protection he saw there was unbelievable, like none he had seen before, as he continued hacking after some time he finally broke through, and he saw something... The chairman continues"...these people may protest to get their results and destroy our world so we should tell them already and the big thing is they are all from Japan that means they are right under our noses, we should tell the whole world about them, 'The zero pointers: Nation level rankers'." Kaito saw it... his name along with the other 3 in the category ' Nation level rankers'.
