writer:Adui      update:2022-07-29 13:37
  In a Grand mansion within City 8 that an important Silver Rank personage used to live in.

  Currently, it was being occupied by the GOLD Blessed that has dropped from the skies and overwhelmingly won the battle for Academy City!

  He was currently talking with multiple Subordinates as they reported the progress of their projects within the city.

  "The flow of resources has swiftly begun as we already have thousands of Iron Cores, hundreds of Bronze, and tens of Silver Cores ready to be transported."

  A Silver Blessed spoke while looking at some papers, another one raising their voice after.

  "The rate of Equipment collection is as abysmal as slow ever, but it is beginning to stockpile up!"

  The GOLD Blessed's eyes shone with light as he listened, the City he was given the mission of overseeing already heading on the right track!

  When he thought of all the young Blessed in his homeland that would freely get these resources, his heart warmed as the mission he had only became firmer.

  "Get ready to begin the transportation process!"

  His resonant voice rang out as he thought of his home.

  For the happiness of the young and upcoming Blessed back home, he would do all that was required of him!

  Taking over Cities and taking the lives of a few enemies was not an issue.

  For his motherland, he would do anything!

  RUMBLE!

  His body crackled with the terrifying power at the GOLD Rank as a shocking reality played out not just in City 8, but in all the Subjugated Cities on the border of the Light Continent.

  It was the restrictions placed on Rifts- on the fact that all those stepping out of them would have to give half of all the loot they gained away!

  It was the cold truth of the Ethereal Realm and the beautiful Universe this Realm was located in- the truth of the alluring Dimensional Rifts and the resources they provided.

  Whoever controlled such Rifts controlled the flow of power!

  The forces of the Dark Continent utilized such a truth seamlessly as they had already begun using the Blessed from the Cities they had taken over to procure a large amount of resources en masse as it was all sent back to strengthen their people and produce even more fearsome warriors!——

  The significance of the events occurring in the dark had not entered Noah's mind yet, his blue eyes vibrantly shining with light as he raised his hands to see the shimmering Silver color floating around it.

  It was the affirmation of him stepping into SILVER Rank!

  He released a turbid breath as he felt the explosive strength within his body, looking towards the enormous Flesh Giant that was looking towards him subserviently just like all his other units as he sent to it a shocking command.

  "Hit me."

  THRUM!

  The unit obeyed without a second delay as a deadly fist shimmering with silver light crossed the air to fly towards him!

  His own body glimmered with an intense silver light as he threw his own fist to meet the terrifying blow of the Flesh Giant Rift Boss.

  BZZT……CRACK!

  The impact was terrifying as Noah felt like a mountain was slamming into him, but he was actually able to hold on against it for a few seconds!

  This was the strength of a terrifying Rift Boss mind you, which meant after holding on for a few seconds, his small body was still flung back multiple meters as he felt the bones within his right hand break in multiple spots.

  "……"

  The pain barely registered in his mind as he tested his strength, calling for the Illusory Willow as a [Grand Heal] was cast on him multiple times until his hand was as good as new.

  He nodded swiftly as when he thought of the time, he knew that the night had passed as dawn should have already broken.

  He thought of the two girls he left behind in the room as he looked at the Tower with 1000 floors and thought about how the first 25 alone had given him strength up to the Silver Rank.

  It held shocking implications for the future as for now, he had to leave it once more.

  SHAA!

  He put away the summoned Units as a spatial light began to warp around him, his body returned into the small room he had been teleported away from as within this room……the eyes of two girls looked towards his appearing figure with shock!

  Rose couldn't utter any words as it was Annalise who spoke slowly.

  "Brother……just what Inherent ability did you awaken?"

  Noah's weary eyes landed on the girls as he had planned to make something up for his disappearances sooner or later, this chance giving him the opportunity to do as he sat on the couch exhaustingly while beginning to talk.

  "It's not just a Summoning ability. I unlocked something that allows me to be transported to luxurious Dimensional Rifts……Rifts that give out rewards hundreds of times better than the ones you can find in the Ethereal Realm!"

  He thought of the Tower of Champions and his Idle Gaming System as he weaved something together, his hands waving as he brought out colorfully silver equipment from his Inventory that were the rewards of previous floors.

  "Cores, Equipment, Skill Books……these Rifts can grant me a great deal of treasures as long as I alone risk my life to clear them."

  …!

  The two girls looked at the ground where they shockingly found Silver Ranked Equipment- powerful Armors and Weapons that even the average SILVER Blessed would have a hard time getting their hands on!

  This was because the higher one's Rank was, the harder and rarer the Cores and Equipment of those ranks became.

  Yet Noah had just waved his hands to make these amazing treasures appear before them!

  "This is why I said it is possible to get revenge……why I am confident in being able to pay back everything they did in time! It's also why I regret……not getting this serious sooner!"

  His strong voice woke the girls out of their stupor as Annalise came towards him and hugged his head, her small voice ringing out.

  "You could have never known how things would have happened. You do not have to blame yourself!"

  The brother and sister comforted each other on their loss as Rose came by to give her own emotional support, Noah's voice continuing to ring out.

  "My ability becomes more powerful the more different types of Rifts I clear, not how frequently I cleared them. It's why my goal is to delve into the Silver Dimensional Rift in the city next!"

  …!

  The two girls glanced towards him in shock as Rose spoke out.

  "Already? It might be dangerous with just us. Even though I'm in the Silver Rank, I haven't been honing my skills or fighting in the past. For a Silver Rift, you need a team of Silver Bless-"

  OOOM!

  Rose's words were cut short as Noah's body now pulled with a silver light, showing his Rank grandly in front of them!

  "It is possible. I wouldn't risk my life otherwise!"

  The two girls had agape expressions as they stared at the man that used to be in the Iron Rank not too many days ago.

  Now, he somehow stood at the rank of SILVER!
