Chen Yu stared at the screens floating before him—each one representing an ancient force far beyond comprehension.
"So... I can become a Reth," he murmured, his voice low, contemplative. "But how long will it take? What's the path?"
A dark chuckle echoed from the Void's screen.
"Kid, you're thinking this is some kind of game."
"Right now, you're an S-rank human. That's nothing."
"From here, your path is this—SS, then SSS, then SR… then SRR… then R… RR… and finally RRR."
Each tier weighed on Chen like a mountain. But the Void wasn't finished.
"Only after reaching RRR can you undergo the Second Awakening. Even then, your stats will barely reach 500. That's still not enough to challenge a low-level Reth."
"To even stand a chance, you'll need to force every stat to at least 800. Only then can you battle a Reth… and take its place."
Chen Yu's eyes narrowed.
"Then that's what I'll do."
But something didn't sit right with him.
