The announcement slammed into the world like a divine hammer.
A moment passed. Then two. Then five.
Silence—utter, boundless silence blanketed the system. The streets of bustling towns stilled. The guild chat windows froze. Even monster aggro broke for a breath.
And then, chaos.

Redstone Town – Western Frontier
"WHO THE FUCK IS 'Man Like Malik'?!"
A black-cloaked rogue screamed, his two daggers shaking in his grip. Around him, a whole squad of adventurers had frozen mid-raid.
"What kind of name is that?!"
"Duke of Green Leaf Town?! Wasn't that place a dump?"
"No one even knew the Lifestone Ruins had a Tier 1 Boss!"
"That's the Tier 1 Boss that prevents us from conquering the ruins. By right that ruins is supposed to be ours."
"The Redstone Towm won't agree to that."
"Wait... Martial Expert? What's that class?"
"I've never heard of such class. Or is it a hidden class?"
Dozens of players spammed their guild chats, others opened forums, live streams, and player logs. Chaos.
The leader of Obsidian Gale, the top rogue guild in Redstone, slammed his desk. "Track him. Get me every piece of data. I want to know what quests he's done, where he logged in, what party he used, everything. NOW."

Ironwall City – Central Plaza
Seeing the announcement, Players all started rushing to the Green Leaf Town while many wss contemplating who this Top tier expert is. #+someone that can solo a Tier 1 Boss at Tier 0..what an extraordinary individual..
"Haven't you heard the news?"
"This Top Tier expert has forged a new class even the system developers are frantically searching for him."
Players stopped mid-walk, eyes widening.
Kenny blinked as she gripped tightly to her greatsword. "That dude.."
"Boss is too OP, I don't think we can catch up to him."
Big Nurse, still repairing his gear from their last quest, simply let out a low whistle. "He really did it..."
Kenny shook his head in disbelief. "Boss. He has truly left us behind, his status everything has changed ... and he went and soloed a Tier 1 boss? At Tier 0?"
Taiwo couldn't stop laughing. "you still repeating Sis. That's divine madness. And he made a class? A real class?"
Kenny looked up at the announcement again.
"Team leader. Should we head back?" Slicer asked and Kenny shook her head.
" No.. Until we are all Tier 1..we can't head back to him."
She looked up at the announcement again and a slight blush flushed on her cheek. > <

Black Moon Capital – Skyfire Citadel
The Black palace atop the highest tower gleamed under a sun forged of mana. Inside the main council chamber, two cloaked figures sat in silence.
One of them sipped wine. The other had frozen mid-chess move.
Black Emperor slowly lowered his hand, eyes still locked on the glowing world prompt.
Flame Dagger leaned back and exhaled a deep breath. "So... it's done."
"Yes," White Emperor replied. "And not just done. He made his move in a way the world will never forget."
Flame Dagger cracked a smile. "He said he was going to shake the kingdom. I thought he meant economically... not spiritually."
The Emperor didn't laugh. He stared at the name pulsing in the sky.
"'Man Like Malik'... You've finally claimed a title even the Council can't ignore."
"He's one of us," Flame Dagger added softly. "He's a Feral Hunter with the command sigil, I expected more from him."
Black Emperor nodded once. "Do you think he can turn the Green Leaf Town to a Basic City before the opening of the Temple?"
"I believe he's going to turn the Green Leaf Town to an intermediate City before the opening of the Feral Temple."
"How much are you staking on?"
"My whole Adventurer team." Flame Dagger replied without battling an eye.
"I'm also staking on My whole Adventurer team."

Across the Kingdom – Forums & Guild Channels

"Did he solo a silver-tier boss?!"
"What guild is he in?!"
"No affiliation... no known allies... just Green Leaf."
"A custom class? Can players even do that?!"
"What kind of build does this guy have?! STR main??"
"Where's thr fight clip? How can we just believe the system announcement?"
"I'm going to Green Leaf Town to check things out myself."
Dozens of guilds went into immediate emergency meetings.
Top five adventurer alliances sent scouts toward the Lifestone Ruins.
The PvP forums turned into a flame war about whether this 'Malik' was a hidden NPC or dev-backed super account.
One rogue player—previously infamous—logged off permanently.
And one guild sent a single message to its assassins:
> Target: "Man Like Malik" Bounty: 100 Gold per confirmed location Kill reward: Name your price

Somewhere... on the edge of the wilds
A shadowed figure leaned against a tree, arms crossed. His glowing eyes shimmered gold.
"Martial Expert, huh?" the voice was deep, laced with faint admiration. "and why does the name seems to struck a chord?"
He turned, the shadow parting to reveal a crown-shaped tattoo on his neck.
"Let's see how far you climb, Man Like Malik."

Black Crescent City
"I need to get there.. I need to get there now." Void Reaper said as he quickly sort out his inventory.
"Wait.. Void Reaper.. Why the rush?"
"I need to head towards the Green Leaf Town as soon as possible. A friend of mine just turned Duke."
.....
Back in the Ruins
The tremors of chaos had not yet touched Malik. The Lifestone Ruins still burned with residual mana, and he stood there—arms crossed, eyes focused on the glowing treasure chest that had exploded open.
The light had not faded.
Dozens of items floated within the massive chest—some glowing red, others silver, and one at the very center... an orb pulsing with divine energy.
The real rewards had just begun.
