Chapter 114 Leaderboard Privilege

"Hi, so what's your name?"

"Um, I'm William."

"Ah, I remember hearing about you, you're the ninth-ranked right?"

I checked the Global Rankings.

Ah, I was actually ranked six now.

"Um, I'm sixth-ranked now."

"Sixth-ranked?!"

"Yeah, I must have passed some people in the last couple of days..."

"Wow, alright, let me sort this out!"

The bank teller began rummaging through some sheets of paper. I guess being a leaderboard human really meant a lot here. I was receiving a lot of jealous glares from the other people in the bank who seemed to have been waiting for a long time. The influx of humans here must have caused a lot of people to seek currency.

To be fair, in such a wealthy-looking society, I assumed that the currency wouldn't be too hard to get. I had come here mainly because I didn't really know where else to ask for money, but maybe there was some sort of system where the city distributed funds to all of the humans. Whatever the case, there was a lot I didn't know.

A few minutes later, the bank teller seemed to have finished organising the files he was going to show me.

In front of me, he laid out three pieces of paper.

"I can give you these two offers, you don't need to make a decision as you get both. You can have a look at some of the other ones if you like although I doubt you'd want them"

-

[Offer 004]

(For any human who is ranked above 100.)

The applicable human will be generously offered 400 Krena for their time in the city.

They are given immediate access to join either the guard or the main army and do not require an assessment.

2. The applicable human must be ranked 100th or above on the Global Human leaderboard at the time of application (proof required). Otherwise, the applicable human can also show their [Shadow Realiser] as proof of being in the top 100 at some point.

3. For the 20 Krena per day, the human must either join a force at the time of application or show evidence of prior involvement.

They all appeared to be just free sums of money.

-

Well, this was just a step up from the previous. I guess there were a lot of free things for me to get. These were the two that I was given just for being a top leaderboard human. I looked over at some of the other sheets which included different conditions. It seemed that the other offers were more for some of the less privileged humans.

They were just worse than my offers in every way.

-

[Offer 001]

(For any human who recently entered the city as a refugee.)

The applicable human will be generously offered 20 Krena as an initial loan. This will allow them to sustain themselves for the first few days until they are able to find a job. The loan will work at a 5% interest rate per month with a 5 Krena repayment fee. They will also be given a Refugee Card.

[Conditions]

1. The applicable human is only allowed to take this offer once.

2. The applicable human must have entered the city within the last 5 days.

3. For details on the Refugee Card, please refer to section 2.

The Refugee card will offer various employment opportunities as outlined by the Emergency Refugee Act.

There a few other offers but they were all for various different types of refugees, none of which really benefitted me. All I needed were the two offers that I were given anyways, they provided more than enough depending on the value of a Krena.

I signed my name on both Offer 004 and Offer 019. After that, I handed them back over to the bank teller as he stamped them and started getting some money. It seemed that they had paper money, similar to the currency we used to have before we were all transported here.

"Oh yeah, so are you interested in joining a military organisation?"

"Um, what exactly does that entail?"

"Usually it means participating in defensive operations and fighting when called for."

"Uh... I guess that doesn't sound too bad..."

"Oh, don't worry, you will always get a choice, they'll never force you to fight if you don't want to for whatever reason. However, you will get paid if you do choose to participate in combat."

"Well, in that case it's all fine then."

"I'll put you down then."

After finalising the paperwork, the bank teller handed me a large lump of money before printing out my various other benefits.

I felt a lot of glares on me as I held the large sum of money in my hand.
