When Suho opened his eyes, the familiar glow of the Safe Room greeted him again.
But this one… was different.
The floor was smoother, carved from pale blue crystal.
The air pulsed faintly with mana, and the faint hum of restoration filled the silence.
His health bar, hovering at the edge of his vision, ticked upward rapidly—much faster than before.
It was still "normal," but compared to Stage-1, this recovery speed felt almost luxurious.
> *Stage-2 Safe Zone established.*
Suho exhaled, stretching his stiff shoulders.
He had survived. Again.
---
A sudden notification rippled across his vision.
> [Leaderboard: Active]
> [To appear on the leaderboard, please enter a Player Name.]
Suho blinked.
> "A name…?"
He thought for a moment, rubbing his chin.
Using his real name didn't feel safe.
If others could see it, he'd instantly become a target.
> *A different name would be wiser.*
He typed **"Hero."**
> [Name already taken.]
He frowned.
"…Then 'Villain.'"
> [Name already taken.]
"...Huh."
After a dozen failed attempts, Suho sighed and stared at the empty text box. Then, a thought flickered.
> *Authority — Ignored by Universal…*
He smiled faintly. "Fine then."
His fingers moved.
**(Ignored by Everyone)**
The moment he pressed confirm, the leaderboard shimmered—
and the world reacted.
---
Every Safe Room across the entire Tutorial vibrated with a sudden update.
Players glanced at their windows in confusion.
At the top of the global board glowed a single name:
> **[1st Place: Ignored by Everyone]**
---
Gasps and curses erupted in countless rooms.
> "What the—who's that?!"
> "No way, that's not even a proper nickname!"
> "The top score is… seven hundred and eighty-nine thousand times higher than second place?!"
The constellations watching through their celestial channels froze.
None of them recognized this player. None of them had chosen him.
> "Is it a system glitch?"
> "Impossible. No player can hide from divine observation."
> "Then how is the top slot… blank to us?"
Their omniscient eyes saw nothing.
The Authority shielding Suho—*Ignored by the Universal G??*—made his existence invisible to every higher being.
To them, **"Ignored by Everyone"** was simply a bug.
An error name.
A ghost in the system.
---
Meanwhile, inside his Safe Room, Suho's own screen lit up.
> [You have achieved 1st Place on the Leaderboard.]
> [Your achievements from Stage-1 have been calculated.]
> [Level + 5]
> [Extra Stat Points granted.]
> [Error — Unable to Report to Higher Being.]
> [First-Place Reward Granted.]
Three shimmering icons appeared in front of him.
1. **Bracelet of Agrasil** — *Effect: Stabilizes and harmonizes unstable energies.*
2. **Skill Book (S-Rank)** — *Grants one S-Rank Skill.*
3. **Sacred Shield** — *Blocks any attack five times.*
---
Suho stared at them, lost in thought.
> "An S-Rank skill… that's definitely the best one for me. I've never had a proper skill until now."
In the background, the **first Goblin** he'd ever tamed was chasing **Miho** in circles, the two skeletons flailing and clattering in a ridiculous mock battle.
> "Stop running, you idiot!"
> "Kik! You started it!"
Suho rubbed his temples. "I swear, you two—"
He reached toward the floating window to select the **Skill Book**—
*BANG.*
Both of them slammed into his back at the exact same moment.
> "?!"
> *Tap.*
A notification chimed.
> [You have chosen — Bracelet of Agrasil.]
"...Huh?"
A faint green glow appeared on his left wrist.
A slender bracelet formed, carved with leaf-like runes.
Mana flowed through it like living light.
Suho's face darkened.
> "...Miho. Goblin."
> "...Uh-oh."
> "...Run."
He began to lecture them furiously as they scrambled for cover, the Safe Room filling with comedic chaos.
---
Far away—in another Safe Room—
a different player watched his own leaderboard in silence.
He was older, his eyes calm but heavy with experience.
He was a **Regressor**—one who had returned from a failed future.
> "Rank 2…?"
His brow furrowed. "How can that be? I was first in my previous life."
He scrolled up.
There it was again.
**[1st Place — Ignored by Everyone]**
"What kind of stupid name is that? Some bugged player?"
He clenched his fist.
> "Whoever it is, they're an idiot. The reward choices are obvious. No sane person would choose that bracelet over an S-Rank Skill Book."
The regressor turned back to his own reward window and selected the second option, Also he was given only two option Because suho has chosen One.
> [You have chosen — Skill Book (S-Rank)]
> [Skill acquired: "Become One with the Sword" — Progress-Type Skill.]
A smile crept across his lips.
> "Yes… the same skill that made me one of the strongest in my previous life. I know every hidden route now. I'll become even stronger… because the real threat is coming. And this time, only I can stop it."
---
Back in Suho's Safe Room—
He was still chasing the goblin in circles, green bracelet glowing faintly on his wrist.
Miho was trying to apologize while laughing uncontrollably.
> "You two are *dead* when we leave this room!"
The goblin tripped over a staff; Miho fell on top of him.
Suho sighed deeply, rubbing his temples again.
> *"Bracelet of Agrasil, huh…? Let's hope you're worth the trouble."*
The faint light of the bracelet pulsed once, in perfect harmony with his mixed aura.
He didn't know it yet—but this "trash item" would give a him fateful encounter and one day decide the fate of earth.
