Ranks

**Class Ranks** refers to the international S-F ranking system for individuals who possess magical abilities .

## Overview

Ranks are divided into seven levels corresponding to a certain letter in the alphabet, F being the weakest and S being the strongest.

As noted multiple times throughout the story, a Mage's rank pretty much determines everything about them: their income, their guild, their reputations, etc. The disparities between ranks are also not easily overcome even after years of bodily training and the gap in power between ranks can be very wide, as E Ranks easily overpower F Ranks and A Ranks are exponentially more powerful compared to B Ranks.

## Magic Factor

The magic factor also referred to the maximum amount of mana in his body.

If the magic level measures the power level, the magic factor would determine how much magic power could be released.

The awakener could never ignore neither the magic factor nor the magic level.

If the level was low, the overall power that could be released would be weak no matter how high the factor is; and if the factor was low, no matter how high the magic level is, only a small amount of magic power could be used.

## Level

S rank’s standard? = The Magic Level and Magic Factor had to be over 7 and 70, respectively.

A rank’s standard? = Level 6 and above, factor 55 and above

B rank’s standard? = Level 4, Factor 44.

C rank’s standard? = Level 3, Factor 29.

## Power

It was nature… The ‘magical energy’ was the power of nature. That power would accumulate in a person’s body. Later on, that person would emit that power. This was the essence of magical energy.

The magical energy of all regular awakeners was split into two categories—the count and the rank.

The rank denoted the magical energy’s density and quality. The higher the rank, the thicker the concentration was, and magical energy boasting greater density could exhibit far better effectiveness and firepower compared to a similar amount of energy reserve.

As for the “count,” it denoted the magical energy reserve’s size. The higher your count was, the more magical energy you possessed, which allowed you to pour out as much as you want for a longer period of time.

## Godhood

‘Is the three-digit mark some kind of a wall?’ Su-hyeun wondered.

When the Strength stat remained within double digits, he didn’t experience such a massive transformation with each improvement.

Even if there was a noticeable difference in every improvement, it would only be around the level of him needing about a day or two to adapt.

But the three-digit stat was another story. He even had to question if this was real. This power was simply beyond Su-hyeun’s comprehension.

The Sage Arts was a discipline that enabled a mere human to acquire the qualification to become a god and to possess a body and strength that rivaled an actual god.

## Trivia

* The S-rank: The Awakener combat force was rumored to be quite close to the movers and shakers in the political scene, consisting of only five known individuals in all of South Korea.
* The wall existing between the A- and S-ranks was simply too vast and thick to cross.
