Rank Up!

Evan logged off his account,and went downstairs to make himself some lunch with a pack of instant noodles.

After about a minute or two of cooking Evan poured his instant noodles from the pot into his bowl and bringed it up to his room and put it down on his table.

Evan turned on Yoogle to research if the Unspecified class can learn "Dragon From The Heavens" and it turns out.

Yes surprisingly,due to the popularity of the skill the skill became a learnable one for classes which uses spears as their primary weapon since Season 3 of the eSports championship but they only can learn it once their level 100.

Evan quickly logged on and wait for it to finish loading by eating his noodles.

After logging on Evan went straight into dungeons mostly to level up but also to get resources for upgrading his tools.

After about a hour or two of hard work and a few minutes break to finish his instant noodles and to get some water.

Evan finally reached,level 60.

Evan thought to himself.

"This is too slow and such a boring grind."

Evan yawns out of boredom before putting his hands back on his keyboard and mouse.

Evan continued his grinding until he reached level 70.

Evan went into a store and bought new armour and sell the useless items.

Evan went into the blacksmith shop and used half of his resources for his weapon then the other half for his new armour.

Evan thought to himself.

"I wonder if I earn EXP in rank matches?"

So Evan went into a rank match.

Evan was playing against a berzerker named Howling Wind.

The counter began.

3.

2.

1.

"FIGHT"

Evan and Howling Wind ran at each other.

The strategy to win as a berzerker is a simple one and everyone knows about it.

Just rush at the opponent,that being the only winning strategy makes the class very unpopular among the players.

Evan blocks the heavy sword and uses Blossoming Palm to push Howling Wind back.

Howling Wind attacks with Cross Slash but Evan blocked both hits from the Cross Slash skill.

Evan was going to use Draconic Spear but Howling Wind slammed the blunt end of his sword into Evan character arm flinging Evan away.

Evan got up to see Howling Wind rushing at him.

Evan immediately went into a defensive position.

Evan blocks the first hit.

Evan blocks the second hit.

Howling Wind uses Cross Slash again.

Evan blocks both strikes again.

Evan started dodging knowing that their is a limit to how long you can hold down the blocking position.

Evan was moving his hands like mad trying to dodge Howling Wind.

Howling Wind was a bit faster than Evan but what is making the difference is the fact that Howling Wind player is a faster hand then Evan

Evan started getting exhausted so he switched up his dodging pattern away from complicated combinations to simpler left, right and back dodges.

Howling Wind noticed the pattern change and activates the Berzerker class special skill reserve only for them.

Howling Wind yelled out "Raging Blood!"

Howling Wind stats were doubled but his defence stat was lowered and could no longer use any other skills as a way of balancing the boost.

Howling Wind began railing on Evan with sword swings.

Evan saw his health massively started dropping and thought.

"Am I gonna loose again!?"

Evan makes his character perform a back flip to escape the combo and used the Cleric skill, Moonlit Butterfly to regain half of his health back.

Evan uses Glory Blaze to cast a shockwave and boost his speed.

Evan started going on the offensive and uses the Battle Mage skill "Double Penetration"

His character pushed the spear forward two times and the skill breaks the block after the second hit and causes a flinch.

Evan puts his spear at Howling Wind stomach and uses Draconic Spear at point blank range dealing severe damage.

All of that plus the de-buff to defence made Howling Wind one final skill away from defeat.

Evan still had plenty of mana to spare as well,Evan unsheathed the sword and rushed at Howling Wind who's "Raging Blood" wore off making his stats return to normal.

Howling Wind blocks Evan Knight Barrage.

And strikes using "Fury Blade" making Evan weapon fly out of his hand.

Evan uses the Qi class skill Extensive Block to block multiple hits within the time span of 20 seconds.

Evan gets headbutted towards the direction of his spear.

Evan made his character flip while in the air and land on its feet.

Evan grabs his weapon just in time as his character got punched again.

Evan this time fell on the ground rather than his feet.

Evan thought to himself.

"Either his APM is getting faster or I'm getting exhausted."

Evan pulls out the gun mode and uses Enhanced Bolt and then used Sky Pierce in quick succession.

Evan ran at Howling Wind and using the side of the gun mode as a mace smacked it on Howling Wind face.

Howling Wind countered that with the skill Bladed Arc which had his character swing his sword in a arc from down to up,hitting Evan.

Evan is nearly down to 0% HP.

Howling Wind was at 20%

Evan uses Draconic Spear to hit Howling Wind.

Howling Wind had a thought.

"I could either use Raging Blood to get the stat buff but If I get hit one more time by a skill I'll be dead but if I don't use it I should be able to live another skill hit but it doesn't mean I'll win at the end."

Howling Wind decided to pull out his Raging Blood skill again.

Evan noticed this used the last of his mana to use the Magician skill "Vine Trap" to keep Howling Wind in place and finished him off with bunch of basic hits.

Evan just won his first fair 1v1 match and his first ever fair raink match.

Evan thought to himself.

"That was closer then it needed to be,if he hadn't used Raging Blood I think I would've lost again as their is a brief moment of lag in between a character using a powerup skill letting me set up the Vine Trap."

Evan logged off after that feeling mentally and physically exhausted from the match.

Suddenly Evan had a ping on the Victorious app on his PC and logged back on just to check it out .

It was Georgie Woods.

"Mirage Sky,I went to a meeting with the higher ups and after they saw some of your rank footage they would like for you to enter the Celestial Sphere division of the guild."

Evan thought.

"Wait they were spectating and recording me!?"
