Hearing the global system announcement, Ethan was briefly stunned. He hadn't expected reaching Level 50 would trigger a server-wide ranking tournament. Glancing at his Sin—still over 7,000—he frowned slightly. The tournament started at 8 PM, and he had to return to the city to register. If he didn't hurry and clear his Sin, he might miss the registration altogether.
"Looks like I need to pick up the pace. But monsters above level fifty are too scattered… If it comes to it, I'll have to grind in low-level zones," Ethan muttered to himself. There were less than six hours until 8 PM, and at his current speed, there was no way he'd clear all his Sin in time.
While Ethan was busy grinding Sin, other players were all bustling in preparation for the ranking tournament—some were registering, some were buying gear, others purchasing new skills, and many were frantically honing their techniques at the last minute.
