I had only ever looked at one of the four rank section suboptions, [General Ranking], and the other three were still a mystery to me, so I was quite curious to see what the other suboptions contained.

I mumbled as I willed my way through the primordial chronicle, "I'll start from the first to last in that order," and I chose the first sub-option, [Personal Ranking], on the panel in front of me.

...….

[Personal Ranking],

[Name: Ace Blaze],

[Level: 25[83%][Rank 1]],

[Level Ranking: 9th],

[Affiliation Ranking: Not in an affiliation],

[General ranking: 62nd],

......

I was briefly lost when I looked at the panel's content since I didn't understand why there were so many well-known terms there.

It was just this reason that puzzled me, as I had anticipated seeing something completely different and unrelated to the other suboptions. However, I think this was a mistake on my behalf, as I shouldn't have been anticipating something I had no prior knowledge of.

There was nothing perplexing about what I could see on the panel.

The subsections themselves weren't confusing; rather, it was the rationale behind their inclusion.

'I suppose I should check out the other sub-options before coming back to this,' I thought as I dismissed the [Personal Ranking] panel and moved on to the next sub-option, [Level Ranking].

There were many other people listed on the leaderboard, and after some time of observation, I was able to ascertain the function of this sub-option. I found that it served the same purpose as the [General Ranking] and wasn't all that different from it.

The [Level Ranking] sub-option differed only in that it displayed the overall powerful humans from planet Spe at the same level rather than in ranks on a leaderboard as the [General Ranking] sub-option did.

This indicated that every name I was seeing on the display in front of me at this time was that of a level 25 individual.

There was not a single human above this level, and this leaderboard displayed how powerful each person was. I was placed ninth overall.

This was once again unexpected, but I had expected it because the primordial chronicle hadn't done my ability justice if I couldn't achieve something comparable to this rank.

Regardless, depending on how one looks at it, this was a really valuable sub-option and it should be checked on occasionally.

I might at least infer from this that I was strong compared to other people of my level.

The interesting thing is that I don't even know how powerful I was, but given all the stuff I'm seeing, I should be quite powerful.

It should be noted that this number was significant and that despite that, I was still in the top place among all rank 1 level 25 humans from planet Spe. I am consequently ranked ninth in the [Level Ranking] among them all.

This was incredibly impressive, and it gave me a new perspective on my origin ability and job.

These two were unquestionably the causes of everything, but this also led me to think about the names of those who held positions of power above me.

How powerful were these eight exactly?

What exactly was their job?

What origin ability did they have?

I was quite interested in these things, but there was no way I could find out. So, after giving it some thought, I set it aside, but from everything I've been seeing, I should really go to the true world and battle some reasonably powerful monsters to determine the extent of my strength.

This was crucial because it would keep me from assessing myself too highly or too lowly. If I didn't realise the extent of my power, these two may potentially wreck me.

I dismissed the panel that displayed the [Level Ranking]'s information as I was considering these points and moved on to the next sub-option in the rank section.

I discovered that the affiliation ranking was essentially the same for the names below these ones after browsing through the others.

Similar to the other leaderboards, this one demonstrated the strength of the names, but this time, it was between affiliations and maybe kingdoms.

I discarded the [Affiliation Ranking] after learning this as I wasn't really interested in it, and I returned to the rank section.

I discovered the use of the [Personal Ranking] after learning the function of each sub-option in the rank section.

In essence, it was merely a summary of the data I had provided under the other selections in the rank section.

This was really helpful and would at the very least cut down on the amount of time needed to know my ranks in all of the rank section's sub-options.

I wasn't sure whether there was even a need to rank highly, though.

It was certainly not a bad thing to want to be powerful, but was it necessary to do so in order to maintain one's position at the top?

I had no way to inquire about this, but I suppose the future will reveal all.

Whatever the case, now that my curiosity about the suboptions in the rank section has been sated, I can focus on other things, but the question is what.

I became aware that after evolving, I once more had no true objective.

I did not have a drive that was forcing me to work towards something to achieve in the future and this was a problem.
