She was destined for greatness, grasping the star spoon and ascending to become the No.1 Ranker. As Korea’s first S-rank awakened being, and holding the third position in global rankings, Gyeon Zio was undeniably at the pinnacle of power in Korea. Yet, amidst the whispers of her legendary status – “Where is Korea’s true No.1?” and “They remain shrouded in mystery” – Zio harbored a secret desire: an ordinary life.
However, the universe seemed to conspire against her mundane aspirations. Towers, cracks, dungeons – the hallmarks of extraordinary existence – relentlessly intruded upon her daily life. Even a simple inconvenience like her mother cutting off her cell phone service became an adventure in itself, forcing her to scavenge for Wi-Fi passwords in the most unlikely places.
Just when Zio thought she might catch a break, the rankings updated, revealing an unwelcome change: “[The rankings have been updated] [Gyeon Zio’s current domestic ranking is 2nd place]”. The dreaded “kongline” status loomed, a stark contrast to the “flowery paths” promised by her covenant unni. Her covenant’s reaction was less than supportive: “[Your covenant admires your shameless personality]”.
Reality bites harder with her acquaintance’s blunt assessment, “Jo. You’re still living like garbage in the corner of the room,” followed by a painful jab, “Woah. What’s the point of hitting me by the bone?”. It seemed everyone around her was determined to drag her back into the chaotic world she desperately wanted to escape.
Among those who disrupt her ordinary dreams are a villain with world destruction fantasies – “Help me” – and a regressed super rookie resembling a modern fantasy protagonist – “Salvation is achieved by oneself. Salvation is achieved by oneself.” Even the desperate plea of the villain, “Please! I know who you are, the king of magicians,” couldn’t sway Zio from her goal.
