Rankless but Powerful: Horizon's New Reality  

From this moment on, Cloud would be known as Horizon. His once dark hair had turned to a striking white, and his warm brown skin had become a pale, almost ethereal shade.

As he caught his reflection in the water-like surface beneath him, he realized that nothing about him resembled his former self — except for his purple eyes.

Was this supposed to happen?

Horizon wasn't sure.

There were still countless mysteries surrounding Eternia, but from everything he'd read and studied all this time, a change in appearance like this was unheard of.

Even his Tamer class had vanished, replaced by a Wyrm Overlord class. He had also recalled the notification before about a Draconic Bloodline.

Horizon's mind was a whirlwind of questions with no answers in sight.

Finally, he let out a resigned sigh. What he didn't know, he didn't know. Maybe Eternia held the key to uncovering these mysteries.

With a swipe of his hand through the air, his stats materialized before him, offering a glimpse into his new reality.

Cloud stared at the stats on the screen, his eyes widening in disbelief. For a newbie avatar like his, these stats were insane — more fitting for a seasoned character than a fresh creation.

His consciousness had just arrived and he had just crafted his avatar, yet this was already his stat? Was it some sort of glitch?

But then again, Eternia wasn't some artificial construct run by machines. This was a living, breathing world.

"What the hell is going on here?" Horizon muttered, baffled by the numbers before him.

They were thought that they would be starting from scratch with a weak stat. They would grind relentlessly, pushing themselves as they honed their skills and boosted their stats.

"Could this be . . . an evolved class?" he wondered aloud.

But he was a Rank-D, with a glim path to evolution. Or so he thought.

As he drifted through this mysterious expanse, and checked his stat, he noticed something peculiar.

Dragonborn? Not human? And no rank at all? Was he truly rankless?

It seemed he had become something entirely different — an original entity in this world, perhaps? The rules that governed others didn't apply to him it seemed.

Evolved classes were legendary — a rare phenomenon where a player could evolve to something more while retaining previous stats, gaining new abilities, and easily increasing stats as they progressed.

In Eternia, Rankings typically meant achieving evolution through relentless stat increases.

For the unevolved and the so-called original citizens of this world, the probability of evolution wasn't entirely zero, but it demanded grueling quests and unparalleled effort.

The path to achieving an evolve class was shrouded in mystery and fraught with peril, requiring Rank-D players to complete a series of nearly impossible quests. One failure meant game over.

Citizens of the ARKs who arrived in Eternia were now known as Players, as the world felt more like an immersive game from Earth.

Meanwhile, the original inhabitants were referred to as Eternians by the ARKs. In this new realm, the lines between game and reality blurred, setting the stage for epic quests and battles.

If this was indeed an evolved class, then . . . Horizon's smile widened.

Horizon wasn't sure, but one thing was clear: this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With this class, he had a genuine chance not only to survive his first days but to completely transform his fate in this realm.

[Processing player, Horizon's location . . . processing complete.]

[Initiating transportation to . . . Drakha, the Land of Dragons.]

Drakha? Horizon's heart skipped a beat. He'd heard of it before — the lair of dragons that only opened during the Red Moon!
