Young Emperor? Rank in the competition

Young Emperor? Rank in the competition.

After coming out of the hospital, and stepping out of the main door under the hot gaze of the female nurses and the jealous gaze of the males, which I've learned to ignore, I met a dense crowd of reporters in front of the hospital and familiar faces like Callan, Chris and his sister, Christiana, and the other teen prodigies that I met in the forest before, answering their questions. Confused, I turned to lily for an answer.

Seeing the confusion on my face she answered. "The reporters are here for the 'Heroes' and possible young 'Emperor' in the future". "Heroes? Emperor?" I asked, more confused than before.

"Do you think you're the only one that stopped the beast tide? Remember, I said you stopped most of it, and that was mainly because you were strong enough to do so, and we were the first people to encounter the beast tide". She said and continued.

"The reason they're called 'heroes' is that they also contributed in the battle against the beast tide and did their part for humanity when our protectors, the demigod, and other powerhouse were occupied with their opponent and could not offer assistance." She stopped talking for a short second to let her work sink in and continued.

"And the term 'Young Emperor' is something you'll learn in college, but let me give you a gist of it now. You should know that while a level tells a person's power level, that doesn't define his/her powers. We have ordinary demigods, elite demigods, genius-level demigods, Monster level demigods. The same goes for other levels too. Our current level now, which is the Evolved mortal level, follows the same setting. Now let's talk about the 'Young Emperor' title. To be called a young emperor or qualify for one, you must reach the High-Human level, which is the level above 60 before 21 years of age and your power level must be above Elite. This means your level must be above level 60 by age 20 at maximum and at a genius level". She said.

After hearing what Lily said, I could not help but suck a mouthful of cold air.

What the f**k? Must be level 61 at the very least and not pass age 20 to be called a Young Emperor? That's just fucking difficult.

When I calmed my agitated emotions, lily dropped another bomb, "The best thing about being a 'Young Emperor' is that the system recognizes it and gives the High Human a title that only those who achieved Godhood can have. So, by the time you become a God, you'll have two titles. One for being a Young Emperor, and one for achieving Godhood, making that two titles. The best thing is that, depending on how powerful and compatible the titles are, they can merge and create a more powerful one. Whether it's having two titles or having a super powerful one, I only see advantages, not disadvantages". Lily said excitedly.

At first, I thought it was just a name of prestige, but who would have taught that it was recognized by the system. It's common sense that only Gods can have Titles, and now I hear that even without being a God, you can still have titles, Looks like my previous thoughts were wrong. But the difficulty to have one is as hard as ascending the heavens as a mortal, Geez. Level 61 genius level High Human at 20 years of age is really difficult that it sounds impossible. All creatures can only access their system at the age of 15, and now you're telling them to cross several levels to level 61 in 5 years? Level is not as simple as Leveling up with experience. You can only increase your level by cultivating.

A Gold-level mortal is enough to singlehandedly destroy a country on earth, and to reach Gold mortal level at age 20 means you're a real genius, not to mention the High Human level that even 20 Gold Mortals can't defeat. You probably have to be a monster to reach that level before 20.

Even if I already have a title, the idea of having one more is too tempting. 'Ah', Sighing softly, I stopped thinking about it to avoid getting depressed.

Don't know when, but a reporter suddenly point out his right hand in our direction and attracted the attention of some of the other reporters by subconsciously shouting 'Dark king' and 'Nature Goddess'.

Seeing this, I was stunned. Not because this ordinary-looking man was able to spot us from the position he was, because it was deep in the center of the crowd of reporters, or stunned that lily contributed to the fight against the beast tide and did not tell me.

I was stunned because of the nickname I was given. "Dark King", I muttered softly. Dark king was the name I initially awakened before Ancient king, so the name felt close for a reason but I did not have time to think because dozens of reporters were heading my way.

Not wanting to be a nuisance, and create problems for the hospital by bringing a crowd to their doorstep. My siblings, lily and I, made our way to the reporters, only stopping midways and waiting for the reporters to come to us.

Before I could speak, they spoke first and immediately drowned me with their questions.

"Mr. Adrea, is it true you love Miss Lily?" A reporter asked.

"Mr. Adrea, I heard information you went berserk because of seeing Miss Lily injured?" A reporter asked.

"Are you a sis-con?" A reporter asked.

"What's your full name?" A reporter asked.

"Were you a star model before?" A reporter asked.

.........

After being asked some questions that were totally worthless and definitely for gossiping, I proceeded to focus on reasonable questions, like the one concerning my name or if I was a model before. Before I could though, I saw a familiar-looking figure descending from the sky.

The demigod has arrived.

Time to know my rank in the exam then.
