Den of Freedom

Jean Darke was born at the Age of Unity, an era where anything and everything could be obtained through the World Net. Money, power, and even authority, it was all possible through the World Net. With that in mind, by the time he turned 17 years old, it was a given that he accepted his father’s offer to become a User, in other words, a citizen of the World Net. Since he was brought up with the idea that the World Net would allow their family to live better lives, he would do his best to try and make that happen. Unfortunately for him, it was only after he entered the World Net did he realize that his dreams seemed to be near impossible to achieve, due to the World Net actually being a world filled to the brim with corruption. It was then and there that his great dreams dissipated in a matter of moments, changing his great dreams to a dream where he wanted his family’s burden to be alleviated just by a bit. Thankfully, the world was not all that bad, allowing Jean to obtain an item within the World Net that could possibly change the whole landscape of the World Net itself. It was also thanks to this item that his great dreams were rekindled and soared to a height that went even further, a dream where he wished to establish a place in the World Net free from corruption. And so, let us witness his journey in becoming a great entity in the landscape of the World Net, as well as his establishment of the Den of Freedom.

Power Hierarchy of the World Net

The World Net is a place where having more power meant more money and authority. Now, you might be wondering. Why is that the case? The reason why that is the case is because having more power meant that one could remove more stray bits from the World Net, allowing them to obtain more money. Not only that, by having more power, one would be able to have a better life on Earth, as well as ignore a portion of the Earth's laws the stronger a person got.

Since there are a great amount of people using the World Net on a daily basis, it would take a long time for the World Net to make a list of users that have great strength amongst the massive amount of users it has. To reduce the amount of time needed for the World Net to make this list, it was decided that users would be categorized through power ranks, where the higher ranks could be achieved through certain methods.

The World Net's power ranks are as follows:

Cleaner rank - the lowest rank possible in the World Net's power hierarchy. It is also the rank given to every user in the World Net when they start out. At the highest level achievable for the rank, one could exert abilities that go beyond the limits of the average human body.

Devourer rank - the second lowest rank in the World Net's power hierarchy. Obtaining this rank meant that the user has now established a foothold in the landscape of the World Net, exerting strength that would not lose out to 10 users at the Cleaner rank at once. Even at the first level of this rank, one could exert abilities far beyond what a peak level Cleaner rank could show, bordering on the line of superhuman.
