100X Return System: My Talent Awakening Becomes a God-Level Cheat-Chapter 13: Mystery of the Newbie

It was true, a S-rank Farmer being among them was indeed a fantasy that they could only dream off.

S-rank Farmers are monsters in a good sense. They are stronger than any other Farmers, their talents and skills are beyond what a normal person could think of.

They are able to solo parts of the Abyss and establish their own territory when suitable, they were on another level.

To see S-rank Farmers is very rare as they are at the pinnacle of Framers. Their presence can only be seen when there is a large call from their guilds, into the Abyss.

But the truth was, those who are known as S-rank Farmers are those who took part in the defense of humans three years ago, when the catastrophic storm descended, so they are treated as royalty.

The monsters that appeared that day were nothing like most farmers have seen in their time in the Abyss.

It is true that the Abyss is a vast space with different monsters of several kinds, even ones that are not normally seen in the human world.

But that’s less than one percent of the majority of monsters in the Abyss.

After the storm had been defeated and the Abyss opened, the majority of those large monsters ran inside it and had never been seen again by any regular Framer, no matter their exploration.

This just tells how vast the world of the Abyss is.

Monsters are classified into different categories, using the Framers ranking hierarchy, but somewhat different.

There are Small Monsters which are under the D-rank, Mid Monsters under C-rank, Large Monsters under B-rank and Ex-Large Monsters known as A-rank.

D-rank and C-rank monsters are known as lesser monsters, while B-rank and A-rank are known as higher monsters, there is a massive difference in strength.

Of course, these are the monsters that most farmers had encountered in their ventures into Abyss, but there was one more category.

Grand Monsters - S-rank.

These are the monsters that had descended with the storm three years ago. They are monsters that are said to be on pair with S-rank Farmers.

These are the monsters that probably rule the Abyss, but no one knows for sure. Although it is assumed, as these monsters are said to have intelligence, unlike the others.

They are large massive and scary creatures, carrying with them death and despair. They are the pinnacle of evil and its deeds.

It is said that if a farmer is inside the Abyss and encounters one of them, they should flee on sight, and pray that they are not found.

They are known for their violence actions of killing and destruction with their possession of magical powers.

The Terror that hit the world years ago was still engraved in the people’s heart, and hasn’t been forgotten.

"_-_"

"Who is he?" one of the Farmers asked, curious.

"I don’t know his name, I have never seen him before." another Farmer responded.

Meanwhile, Nyra and her team all listened carefully. Of course, they knew who he was but said nothing.

"Hold on, I know him!" A certain male farmer uttered, his body covered in blood.

He walked to the front of the group and pointed towards Aegon, saying.

"He’s that F-rank Farmer. The one who has the weakest talent in history."

"Huh?"

Confusion stirred and some farmers were doubtful.

"Are you mad? That’s the Farmer with the F-rank talent?" Someone said to the farmer who claimed that Aegon was the weakest farmer ever. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"He has surely lost his mind after fighting a lot of monsters." another Framer attacked.

"I’m telling the truth, I know what he looks like." the Farmer who claimed, tried to defend himself.

But the other Framers didn’t agree.

"If he is the person you say he is, that would mean this is his first time in the Abyss, and would be a newbie."

"If so, then how can you justify the way he fights? The amount of skills he possesses? If that’s not how a S-Rank Framer fights but a mere F-rank, then I guess I have died and been brought into the wrong world."

Hearing these words, some of the Farmers laughed, but it didn’t last as their bodies; full of pain, couldn’t take it.

"Believe what you want. I know what I know." the Farmer who claimed, said.

There was a moment of silence as everyone watched Aegon fighting, puzzled. Then a voice spoke out:

"There’s always the case he faked his talent, using a controlled method to suppress it."

All the Farmers turned to Sinon as she says this. Even Nyra looked at her, having an expression that said ’what are you doing?’

Feeling their gaze, Sinon added:

"I mean, it’s not as if it isn’t possible. There have been rumors that some Framers are capable of doing so, such as those who work for the Framer Association."

There was another silence, but this one didn’t last longer than the previous.

"That’s just a tumor." Nyra uttered, her eyes still on Sinon.

No other Farmers dared to speak as they knew where their rank stood. Out of all the Framers in this current place, it was Nyra and Sinon who were the strongest.

So there’s no way a low rank Farmer would put mouth when two farmers above their ranks were speaking.

Sinon turned to Nyra, and for the first time since she spoke, their eyes met. It almost felt as if a battle was about to begin between the two of them.

Of course, this was what the lower farmers thought since they would feel their intimidating mana surging.

After staring for a long time, Sinon took away her eyes and looked somewhere else saying;

"It was just a thought, anything can happen in this world. We never know who is who."

Sinon knew what that look Nyra gave her meant. She remembered what Nyra had told her about Aegon when they first met, before the challenge started.

’He is a F-rank farmer and needed help into the Abyss, so I took him in.’ she had said.

Sinon also knew that Nyra doesn’t work with people she didn’t know, but if she had accepted Aegon into her party, that would mean she had seen something in him.

Hearing what she has said, both their surging mana calmed down, and the Framers would breathe again as they pleased.

There wasn’t going to be a fight.

Although Sinon was two years older than Nyra, she still had respect for her.

Not just because they were friends, but because of the difference in strength, as Nyra was stronger than her with a single stage.

It is known that no matter the rank or stage between Farmers, the difference was far beyond being close.

Nyra also looked away, her gaze back at Aegon in the distance, who now was almost covered with the cold mist.

"That’s true." she uttered. "But even so, it is good that we have such a strong Framer at our side."

"If he wasn’t here, we would have already been dead by now, considering the fact we are almost out of mana."

There was another silence, this one a bit longer.

’There’s still something I don’t get...’ Nyra thought inwardly. ’...if he’s a S-rank Farmer, why would he suppress his rank and decide to enter the Abyss when he could solo it himself?’

’Hold on what if his rank is actually F-rank? Then how did he get that powerful in a short time? It’s such a mystery.’

The questions stuck in Nyra’s heart, as she couldn’t get the answer for this question; it was very difficult.

’Unless...’

At that moment, a bell rang and instantly she raised her head up, looking at the image above as if her heart had told her to do so.

(Ring! 09:59:59)

"The Challenge?"
