Chapter 38: Method for Rank Upgrade

"Alright," the healer responded, starting a healing spell. The injured E-rank player gradually recovered from his light and severe injuries, a look of relief washing over his face as he relaxed.

"I can't do more," the healer lamented helplessly.

Approaching the healer, Divya expressed her gratitude, "Thanks. If you ever need anything, please contact me."

"No, it's my duty," the healer demurred, making a hand gesture.

However, Divya gently grasped her hand, offering her father's card.

"For you, it may seem trivial, but it means a lot to me."

Amar approached her, offering soothing words. "Divya, calm down. He's fine."

"Yeah, he's fine," she responded, and a hush settled over the dungeon area.

A young man sensed something amiss, saying cautiously, "Something is happening," while another young man anxiously voiced his hope that nothing worse would happen. Before the leader could speak, the dungeon disintegrated, causing them all to collapse.

A voice called out, "Divya."

She turned and saw her father, rushing toward her.

Embracing his daughter, Alok felt her trembling body and a surge of emotions as he heard her tearful plea, blaming herself for everything that had happened.

"Dad. Sorry!"

"Everything happened due to my stubbornness."

"Calm down. Nothing happened due to you," Alok gently patted her head and instructed the healer, "Save him."

"Yes, sir," they replied, moving swiftly to save the injured.

Witnessing the scene, the leader stood with his wide eyes, "She is the Ice Guild leader's daughter," prompting one young man to envy the lucky healer.

Another young man asked, "Amar, how do you know her?" As Amar engaged in conversation with the others, the focus shifted back to Alok, and everything related to him returned to the house.

...

In a remote area near Region Xth, there was a huge building hidden beneath the surface, surrounded by numerous players—except for one man.

A middle-aged man sitting on the throne, asked calmly, "How's it going?"

The man shuddered, answering with trembling lips, "Master, they... all perished."

Upon hearing the news of failure, the middle-aged man shook his head, "Were you the leader of this mission?"

"Yes, master," he replied fearfully.

The middle-aged man gestured, and a screech echoed in the hall, reducing the man to a dry corpse as his blood and cultivation were absorbed into the middle-aged man.

"If you were the leader, then you must bear responsibility for the failure," the middle-aged man muttered, calmly asking, "Who will lead the next mission?"

Even though they witnessed this scene, eager candidates still raised their hands excitedly.

Seeing this, the leader smiled and said, "Good."

...

Back in his room, Rahul instructed the skeletons to take on human form, thinking about that Indrajit recognized Amar, which had stopped their sacrifice for the dungeon upgrade, or the situation would've become more worse.

Despite the chaos, he felt confident about his decision to let random players die, ensuring the dungeon's upgrade and earning heavenly artifacts with a grin.

Chatting with each skeleton, he made sure they felt included and valued. "Indrajit, from now on, take them all to the E-rank dungeon to help them upgrade their rank," he said, hoping their ranks would improve.

"Also, try to rest whenever you can," he suggested, remembering that even though they were still skeletons, they were also like humans.

"Got it, master," they all replied, turning back into undead skeletons as Neo transported them to the E-rank dungeons.

"Haha! What a cool setup," he laughed, impressed by his own cleverness as he noticed the skeletons' worth, with stat crystals already stored in the inventory.

He checked his wristwatch, which showed 4 p.m.

"Let's see how much they've achieved in these hours of hunting," he thought and summoned the inventory panel.

[Accepted]

Inventory: [[F-grade stat crystals: 565 Physique, 500 Strength, 595 Intelligence, 340 Spirit], [E-grade stat crystals: 750-Physique, 750-Strength, 750-Intelligence, 750-Spirit], [Gold coins: 9780], [600 monster carcasses], [D-grade Dungeon Core]]

He was taken aback by the absurd amount of loot, but it was still within an acceptable range since the skeletons had been farming the dungeon since morning.

However, his attention quickly shifted to the dungeon core, which had a description in the inventory column.

[Dungeon Core]

A material made up of otherworldly substances, containing otherworldly energy.

"Neo, can you add your suggestion to the inventory description?" he asked, finding the current explanation not very useful.

[Ok, give me a moment.]

A few seconds later...

[Completed]

Upon receiving the completion prompt, he opened the description panel of the dungeon core again.

[Dungeon Core]

A material made up of otherworldly substances, containing otherworldly energy.

[Des:] You can use the 'Predatory Absorption Technique' to absorb the otherworldly energy, but it is suggested to absorb two ranks lower than yourself, as even in the worst-case scenario, you will only experience a tiny bit of fatigue.

You can sell the dungeon core (50,000 E.P.).

He felt satisfied with Neo's recommendation and muttered, "To absorb the D-rank dungeon core, I need to be at least C-rank, but to be on the safe side, let's proceed with B-rank."

After making these decisions, a serious expression washed over him.

He decided to reflect on himself since it had been three days since he gained the memories of his previous life, and many events had unfolded in that time.

He had simply gone with the flow for these three days.

He took a trip down memory lane, and all the recent events played out before his eyes.

Thirty minutes later, he let out a sigh, and a determined look filled his eyes.

"I still have three years," he said, inhaling a deep breath. "Let's seize everything, even if it causes chaos in the world. What I need to protect is my family's business and my relatives."

In his thoughts, a memory surfaced, and he ordered, "Indrajit, kill them," then commanded Neo, "Neo, help them transport using the link function."

After maxing out all his stat attributes, two options appeared on his status panel for a rank upgrade.

[World System]

- Player Status:

Name: Rahul Singhania [Rank Upgrade: Two Methods]

The first option was to use the God's rank upgrade method, which would send him to an unknown location to complete a mission for the rank upgrade.

[Mission Tiers: Normal, Nightmare, Abyss]

The second option was to use a higher-grade dungeon than his current rank. Correspondingly, higher-grade dungeons meant higher rewards.

[Mission Tiers: Normal, Nightmare, Abyss]
