Capítulo 72: Situation out of Hand? (3)

There is an old saying that goes like this: "Don't ever get your hopes up because not everything in the world goes as planned." I was feeling the weight of those words intensely at this very moment. It was early morning, and I had just woken up from a restful night's sleep. As I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, a message hovered in front of me, shattering the tranquility of the morning.

{Your rank in the freshmen ranking has dropped by 1.}

{Your rank in the freshmen ranking has dropped by 1.}

{Updates Ranking, rank - 101.}

1..0…1

The repetition of the message intensified the blow, and my heart ached with an intensity that made me fear a heart attack. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Desperately, I opened the ranking list, scanning it for my name, hoping it was all just a cruel illusion. But the truth stared back at me, taunting my efforts.

Rank 101, Eren Pendragon.
