After successfully escaping the attacks of other players, Ryu hid behind an old hut on the edge of Eldoria Village, catching his breath, which was still a little short.
The PvP experience was really an adrenaline rush. This wasn't just a fight against predictable AI monsters,This is a battle against human intelligence, and the thrill of victory in outsmarting them is all the more satisfying.
He opened his status panel again, briefly checking his HP and Stamina. Everything was fine. However, his gaze stopped on one option he hadn't paid much attention to before: "Ranking."
As someone who gets bored easily and is always looking for something new, the thought of rankings suddenly lit a fire within him.If this was a game that was so realistic, how far could it go? How high could it reach? That curiosity was now mixed with a newfound ambition.
With a virtual tap, the "Rankings" panel opens.

Ryu read the data with a mixed expression. "Brutus... Level 6?" he muttered, his eyes narrowing. No wonder the man was so arrogant and strong.He was even in the Local Rankings. And what was more surprising, Brutus was first in "Most Kills (PvP)". This confirmed his suspicion that Brutus was a true PK.
He also saw that he himself was not listed in any ranking. His level was still too low. However, that did not discourage him. On the contrary.
Seeing these numbers, Ryu felt a strong urge to prove himself. He no longer just wanted to ward off boredom. He wanted to move up. He wanted to see his name up there, among the greatest adventurers.
His curiosity now has a greater purpose: to explore every inch of this world, master every Thief skill, and prove that a "common man" can become a legend.
Closing the ranking panel, a wide, determined smile spread across Ryu's face. The Wandering Merchant mission, and all the other missions that awaited him, now felt like a ladder to the top.
