Epic of Summoner: Supreme Summoner System in the Apocalypse

.

When I checked the System Windows, a lot of news happened.

It seems that everyone got something like a basic (very) system knockoff named Soul Records, and only Players such as me and a few others were given these quirky supreme systems with super broken abilities.

And… there's even more, Existence Ranks are a thing, and they seem to be the best way to determine your current level of power compared to other beings.

My System shows that I am… D-Rank.

D-Rank Existence.

Huh… I guess I am not an F-Rank, better than nothing. I suppose all of that week of training brought me to D-Rank, not bad at all, to be honest.

The System quickly shows up more windows, and it reads my mind because it shows up just what I was wondering, how many god damn ranks are there…

[Existence Ranks: These are the Ranks that determine your current level of power, which is the combination of all your attributes, and even the power and proficiency of Skills or Soul-bound weapons]

[The Existence Ranks are as follows…]

[F-Rank: Almost an Average Mortal who had recently awakened some Mana]

[E-Rank: Someone who has become quite good in the use of Mana, and can do at least a few spells or use Skills]

[D-Rank: An individual that has managed to sharpen their skills, mana, and more. Can be considered to be "strong" to an extent]

[C-Rank: Those that surpass someone above the average and begin to step into the superhuman level]

[B-Rank: A superhuman with great capabilities, powerful magic, and more, it can be qualified as a threat]

[A-Rank: A superhuman developing his super abilities to even greater heights while comprehending the depth within everything]

[S-Rank: The first step to reaching the pinnacle of the mortal hood, strong enough to fight against giant beings and possessing great amounts of mana]

[SS-Rank: The second step to reach the pinnacle of the mortal hood, stronger than S-Rank, capable of doing many super extraordinary things]

[SSS-Rank: The third step to reach the pinnacle of the mortal hood, you are midway through it, and some power above a normal mortal has begun to leak within your body, you must develop this supernatural essence to surpass your limits and reach the fourth step…]

[After reaching SSS-Rank, the next road to surpass your limits shall be revealed]

I see, well this clears things up a bit more, and it is nice that they show some examples… So I have to reach SSS-Rank and see what's next after that? Huh…

This Rank System is pretty cliché, let me tell you that… But alright, I can kind of understand the depth of this a bit more.

There was no more time to think about these things, as more explosions began to resonate around us, most of the mines I had already previously settled up were being triggered by the Flesh Spiders.

I saw as Kireina and Anna were fighting down below, the two were using their weapons to slash through the tender bodies of these strange spiders, they were doing spectacular work. Kireina's spear was able to pierce through the flesh of the spiders and slice them into pieces, often ending them at two piercing attacks.

Meanwhile, Anna was slower, as she charged her ax with electricity and then gave single sweeps to anything around her, each sweep of her axe unleashed a wave of electricity, grilling alive any of the spider-like creatures that approached her.

Ervas was shooting Telekinesis Bullets at the beasts from afar, taking them down with two or three bullets, while also controlling the trees to shape themselves into obstacles, stopping the spiders from reaching the house too fast.

Vudia controlled her two Gold Golems, which carried great strength and endurance, while also having a lot of flexibility. They expanded their arms like noodles and shaped their hands as hammers, crushing the spiders that came near them into pulps.

I literally could simply sit here and enjoy the constant gain of EXP and Skill Points, but I decided to enter the battle as well and practice my magic as much as possible.

Simply relying on the strength of everyone won't do, I might be a summoner, but now I have changed classes to a Magic Knight, and before that, a Sorcerer.

If I want to reach higher Ranks of Existence, I can't simply sit here and wait for the EXP to come, I have to practice my powers, crush my enemy on my own and also grow through experiences!

However, I decided to practice my long-ranged attacks, the ones that charge into my weapon, in specific!

I summoned three spheres of transparent mana out of thin air, firing them at a nearby Spider that surged from the bushes, trying to jump through the window of the house!

Flash! Flash! Flash!

The three spheres of transparent mana reached the spider-shaped beast, crushing it with three powerful explosions!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

CRASH!

Ah, the windows broke…

Well, who cares? The beast was killed, and I gained more EXP out of it.

I also saw that it dropped a strange spherical jewel, which I flew down below to grab and inspect, while I conjured Fireball and Gust to the three other purple-colored flesh spiders that ran towards me, grilling them alive as they screeched in agony.

"Grryyyyhhh…!"

"Grrysha…"

As I saw them die, I glanced at the item…

…

[Soul Sphere of Dexterity (E)]

A Soul Sphere formed by the crystallization of the soul of a being you have slain, it contains its dexterous soul.

If consumed, you can gain between 10-50 Dexterity.

…

Oh? These ones! So the monsters drop this crap as well.

Additionally, I found that the ones I called dropped gold coins, which I simply glanced at and were immediately added into my Status.

They didn't drop these Spheres, so I suppose they are not too common, but I simply have to kill more, and this army seems near endless!

"GGRRYARR!"

As I was grabbing the items, five more spiders rushed towards me, and two of them suddenly fire some kind of acid from their monstrous maws!

SPLASH!

I am suddenly showed by the acid, but my clothes and my skin resist it thanks to the enhancement of the Magic Armor that the Magic Knight has given to me.

However, I still saw some of my HP run low, and the spiders run towards me!

I try to conjure magic, but then I realize I got something way better to stop their track.

If I am D-Rank and these things E-Rank… Then it should work.

Vampiric Eye of Paralysis!

FLASH!

A spark of lightning suddenly flashes from my eyes, as the spiders were all within my vision, and suddenly are impacted by this electrifying shock!

All of them fall as if they had become completely stiff, they couldn't even move!

However, this curse doesn't last long, so I quickly conjure three Mana Bullet Blasts, Fireball, and Gust, and demolish them into the ground, splattering their purple and oozy blood all over, alongside their flesh!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

[You gained EXP]

[You gained EXP]

[You gained EXP]

[Your Level has increased to Level 25!]

[You gained Skill Points]

Ah, Level 25 already!

And the moment I level up, I see as the corpses drop once more some Gold, and another Sphere, this time, it is red-colored, a Sphere of Strength!
