Ranking System

[Target Of Misfortune: Rank SSS (Level: 1)]: This allows the skill to cause misfortune upon the desired user. Since no target has been chosen, it would have defaulted on you. It could only be used if the target is within 10 meters of you.

I immediately deactivated my skill, which was targeted at me. Fuck! Because of this skill, my life has been a living hell.

I nearly had a heart attack because of this. Why the fuck does this skill have to default on me. There were times when I wished it upon someone else.

My mind was frazzled. Not only was my life influenced by my supposed parents. But because of these powers.

I took deep breaths. Calm down. I kept on muttering that word in my head. After a while, I relaxed a bit.

Let's look at the bright side. The hell hole that I live in will now be over. There was a quote, "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

It was a good thing that my bad luck was only minimal. I shuddered to think what would happen if my power was activated at a higher power.

Since I now have this power, I will use it to my fullest potential. I will only live this life for myself, and that's final.

I still had a skill enhancer. My skill, which was already strong, would become even more outrageous.

Taking the capsule, I downed it. Unlike the body enhancer, I had felt nothing happening.

[Target Of Misfortune Upgraded]

[Target Of Misfortune: Rank EX (Level: 1)]: This allows the skill to cause misfortune upon the desired user. It can't be removed unless the caster allows it to do so. It could only be used if the target is within 50 meters of you.

My rank went higher with the upgrade, from 4342 to 1569. Holy shit, I never thought such an upgrade was possible.

I had heard skill's highest rank of skill was EX. They were top-grade powers that were one of a kind. Just because I'm ranked at 1569 doesn't mean 1569 users have an EX rank ability.

Wealth, Physique, Charm, Intellect, Skill, Combat Power, and Mana would be added to the Overall Rankings.

I must improve in seven of these categories. Intellect alone would be the hardest, so I will remove that.

Charm was also pretty hard. Unless I did some surgery or constantly cared for my body, my results would be the same. I could also buy items that could improve my charm, but I needed money.

My skill is already high. That was the only reason I was ranked very high on the list. The only way to improve this was to get an item for me to improve it. Which also needed money.

And as for my physique, I could only work out hard. There was a quick way of buying potions that would improve one's physique, which also needed money.

For my combat power, I would need to learn how to fight. It was a shame I had no time to learn. Money was tight, so I couldn't learn from anywhere.

Mana, I had no idea how to gain mana. I was never taught how to do so. I hate how much of a disadvantage that I'm at. I don't want to sound like a bitch, but I have the worst start.

Finally, for wealth, knowing how much money I had in my bank, I was poor as fuck. Money was something I needed desperately.

If I had money, everything on the boards would quickly go up. Now that I was ranked higher than most, making money should be more accessible.

I'm going to quit my job as an amusement park mascot. I fucking hated my job. The mental and physical torture was unreal.

It was the only place where I could work. The job was demanding on both terms. I had to deal with annoying kids that would attack me, and the costume of these things was hot.

Not to mention every time I arrived home. I would be dead tired. I was lucky that today was a day off. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to overthink this tomorrow.

Getting my old model phone, I called my boss.

"Charles, you better not ask for a sick day. I will fire you the instant you do."

My eyes couldn't help but twitch in anger. George, my boss, is an asshole. He may seem like a saint for giving me this job, but it was far from it.

"I'm quitting, and fuck you!"

I canceled the call and immediately blocked him. I had always wanted to say that to his face. For the first time, I was thrilled.

All those berating and long overtime had me mentally exhausted. Today could genuinely be the best day ever.

But I'm scared. What if this was a dream? What if today was just a dream? I couldn't think anymore, and it was already late at night.

Suppose this wasn't a dream. I have decided. I'm going to celebrate my birthday for the first time. I hugged my blanket and drifted to sleep.

For the first time, I felt well-rested.

Opening my eyes, I got off of my bed in an instant. Checking my system, I was relieved to see that I was still at the 1569 rank.

Looking at my ability ranking, I was in third place. It was a shame that my ranking wasn't hidden. With my name, I wouldn't be surprised if someone came knocking on my door.

Then I checked my rank for my charm. Out of twenty billion, I was placed somewhere in ten million. Honestly, that wasn't bad. I was better looking than more than 99% of the world.

I have decided what I want, let's celebrate with a cake. I never ate a cake before, with how tight my budget was. It was almost impossible for me to afford one without overspending my limit.

With that in mind, I went out.
