I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 130
Ranker Announcement Ceremony (2)
World Rankers.
Players who are called bigshots among Players, existing in the most supreme positions.
The world’s strongest selected by a credible and reliable system.
Just by entering that circle, you receive VIP treatment no matter which country you visit.
Nations and corporations alike.
They lobby to establish even the slightest connection.
– We had a dream. Just one! We desperately hoped that even just one Player would break through that wall called the world ranking. And now, that dream has finally come true!
World Ranking 91st place, Hwang Ju-won!
That was the beginning.
[World Ranking 90th place, Maimoenah (Indonesia)]
[World Ranking 89th place, Yatsuka Rie (Japan)]
[World Ranking 88th place, Donovan Tatum (United States)]
The rankings kept going down, creating another South Korean star.
[World Ranking 87th place, An Gi-jeong (South Korea)]
“Waaaaah!”
“Uwaaaah!”
An Gi-jeong, who was originally 4th place domestically, had also entered the world rankings.
“As expected of the Poison King!”
“Of course, if Hwang Ju-won got in! An Gi-jeong should naturally get in too!”
“They’re the former Ilwol brothers!”
The citizens raised their glasses in celebration once again.
“Ahem.”
An Gi-jeong stroked his chin and smirked.
“I’m a bigshot now too, right?”
He spoke as if it was nothing, but inside he was tremendously relieved.
He was also excited.
‘I was worried I might fall behind Ju-won hyung, but thankfully that didn’t happen.’
They had sparred with each other hundreds… no, thousands of times.
They knew each other’s skills well.
‘That’s why.’
Glance.
He looked at the guild members watching the TV broadcast.
Each of them was tense.
Except for Song Yeon-hee and Hwang Ji-woo who were beyond reach anyway, they all probably thought they’d get in, right?
And then.
[World Ranking 47th place, Oh Sun-young (South Korea)]
Orang!
Oh Sun-young took 47th place.
“Huh!”
At that announcement, she took a long breath and exhaled while trembling.
“…I, I really…”
Her expression was one of deep emotion.
She who had originally been cut from the national team, participated in the World League thanks to Baek Jin-woo…
And now she had even made it into the world rankings.
“Sister, congratulations.”
“Congratulations! Big sister!”
“Uhahahaha! Congratulations to Sun-young’s family too!”
“Let’s have a drink!”
Yubaek City was truly a festival.
Every time an announcement was made, fireworks prepared by Yu Ji-a burst into the sky, and families raised their beer glasses.
Swoosh.
Oh Sun-young stood up from her seat.
Then she went in front of the seated Baek Jin-woo and bowed her head.
“Thank you, Master.”
She bowed almost at a right angle and continued speaking.
“I’ll continue to trust only Master and follow you well. Please take care of me.”
“Yeah.”
Baek Jin-woo smiled broadly.
For some reason, he found himself speaking casually to her even though she was two years older.
Was it because she was his first disciple?
“Sun-young followed along well. Congratulations.”
“Thank you, Master!”
And again.
[World Ranking 46th place, Benyapa Chinprasom (Thailand)]
[World Ranking 45th place, Chen Chao-en (Taiwan)]
[World Ranking 44th place, Iosif Zasullich (Russia)]
[World Ranking 43rd place, Guillermo Montiel (Argentina)]
[World Ranking 42nd place, Ian Hayes (France)]
[World Ranking 41st place, Ryan Cooke (England)]
Down, down~
It goes down.
The lower it went, the more spectacular the real-time chat reactions became.
└ Wow
└ What is this
└ Really?
└ The fact that it’s still not out lol
└ Are there really more? They’re even further ahead than this? That would be truly amazing
Currently, five candidates haven’t appeared yet.
Hong Ari, Gi Jae-hyeok, Kang Ji-ho, Kang Geon-ho.
And Baek Jin-woo.
└ But even beating Ryan Cooke is too much, isn’t it?
└ I know right
└ He’s England’s 10th place
└ lol 10th place? hahaha I’m feeling the greatness of Britain all over again
└ 10th place is world ranking 41st…
Still, it’s fine.
Because domestic rankers beat that Ryan Cooke.
[World Ranking 40th place, Kang Ji-ho (South Korea)]
“Hyaaaaaaaaaah!”
Kang Ji-ho screamed so loud the space seemed to shake.
At the age of a high school senior!
The moment he became a bigshot!
“Ji-ho!”
“Ji-hoooo, sob sob sob!”
His family rushed to him and embraced him.
For them, this moment would be much more joyful than if their son got into Seoul National University or a famous overseas university.
World Ranker?
Even considering it as sports and arts, it’s beyond an Olympic gold medal.
It’s just a completely different level.
Shishishishik!
His summoned creatures, Gwangma (A-rank) and Snow Flower Berserker (B-rank), displayed spectacular swordwork in the air as if celebrating their master’s blessing.
└ Wow
└ Kang Ji-ho is 40th!
└ This is insane.
└ Then what about Gi Jae-hyeok and Kang Geon-ho? Oh, and Hong Ari too?
└ Wow, so those three are ranked even higher?
└ Right. At least according to domestic rankings!
└ Baek Jin-woo is obviously ranked even higher.
However.
There was one man who couldn’t fully enjoy this celebration alone.
“….”
It was Kang Geon-ho.
He knows.
That his talent doesn’t measure up to Gi Jae-hyeok or Kang Ji-ho.
In fact, despite countless sparring matches with them, he had never won once.
‘To be honest.’
His training time had been too limited.
Those guys received intensive care from Baek Jin-woo from the very beginning, while he didn’t.
What does that mean?
‘I’ve fallen out of the world rankings.’
Kang Geon-ho bit his lips tightly.
He had hoped against hope.
To think he’d even fall behind Hwang Ju-won and An Gi-jeong…
What exactly had gone wrong?
Clench.
With his fists clenched and jaw muscles trembling… there was nothing to feel wronged about.
He was just frustrated.
He blamed himself for not working harder, for not being part of that celebration.
[World Ranking 39th, Roberto Nesta (Italy)]
[World Ranking 38th, Didier Zokora (France)]
[World Ranking 37th, Julian Kimmich (Germany)]
[World Ranking 36th, Gabriel da Silva (Brazil)]
This time, former national ranking 1st place players from various countries appeared.
All of them are No.1 players from their respective countries, famous figures known by most of their citizens.
Certainly from 40th place onward…
Major players had appeared.
And then.
[World Ranking 35th, Gi Jae-hyeok (South Korea)]
“Jae-hyeok!”
“Jae-hyeok hyung!”
“Niiice!”
Gi Jae-hyeok at 35th place.
Not a bad result.
Everyone congratulated him through the same process as Kang Ji-ho, and Gi Jae-hyeok was so happy he even shed a few tears.
Next.
[World Ranking 34th, Casey Rabel (United States)]
[World Ranking 33rd, Ella Toon (England)]
[World Ranking 32nd, Emily Sonnet (United States)]

[World Ranking 29th, Janella Salvador (Philippines)]
Now the five major powers belonging to the Oje (Five Emperors) were gradually appearing.
England and mid-tier players from the US national team
In cases like Vietnam and Philippines, these were exceptional domestic ranking 1st place players.
And finally!
[World Ranking 28th, Hong Ari (South Korea)]
Hong Ari entered at 28th place.
The perfect kill record she showed against Venezuela in this league had definitely earned her high points.
└ Hong Ari!
└ The absolutely beautiful Hong Ari!
└ Scream!
└ I’m really so relieved ㅠㅠ
└ So now only Baek Jin-woo and Kang Geon-ho are left?
└ Kang Geon-ho seems like it’ll be difficult at this point.
└ True, just looking at performance.
└ Yeah, no matter how I think about it, what Kang Geon-ho showed is nothing compared to what Hong Ari showed
At the same time.
The citizens were also gradually sensing that Kang Geon-ho had fallen out.
From the top 20 onward.
It’s truly the realm of monsters.
[World Ranking 27th, Sijin Hang (Taiwan)]
[World Ranking 26th, Cai Yingwen (Taiwan)]
Sijin Hang and Cai Yingwen are Taiwan’s 2nd and 3rd ranked players.

[World Ranking 23rd, Bangladesh Police (Bangladesh)]
[World Ranking 22nd, Takahashi Shusuke (Japan)]
[World Ranking 21st, Keira Walsh (England)]
[World Ranking 20th, Jonathan Pacheco (Mexico)]
Police is Bangladesh’s 1st ranked player!
Our familiar Shusuke is Japan’s 3rd ranked player.
What’s scary is that England’s Walsh is England’s 7th ranked player.

From here on, it’s dominated by the Five Great Powers.
└ England and the US are seriously insane
└ Damn, how are guys even stronger than other countries’ rank 1 players all clustered together in those nations?
└ That’s why they’re great powers
└ Our country will probably be like that soon too?
└ I heard SKY is expanding their members ㅋㅋ With the famous Jinu-god’s skills, they could probably catch up to the UK
└ Right, you saw how they played this time ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ That’s a bit ㅋㅋㅋ
└ Baek Jin-woo is inhuman for real
[World Ranking 9th, Coby Pochettino (United States)]
[World Ranking 8th, Gareth Bale (England)]
– 9th place is Pochettino! He’s famous as America’s number two! 8th place is also England’s 3rd ranked player who’s been rising in value alongside Olivia!
What’s next?
[World Ranking 7th, Olivia Abernathy (England)]
[World Ranking 6th, Zhuo Longtai (Taiwan)]
Olivia and Baekcheon appeared.
– 7th place is Olivia! It was an expected result! And from 6th place, the Five Emperors appear! This means…! Baek Jin-woo can really compete for world ranking 1st or 2nd place!
└ Damn
└ Zhuo Longtai! That old man Tak Young-tae is 6th place?
└ Exactly lol
└ This is crazy, the Five Emperors are really 6th place?
└ They got pushed down one spot! Because of Baek Jin-woo!
└ Baek Jin-woo! Let’s go for 1st place!!!
For the first time in exactly 4 years.
It was the moment when the Five Emperors were pushed back one spot for the first time.
[World Ranking 5th, Alexander Beskov (Russia)]
[World Ranking 4th, William Jenos (United States)]
One, two.
As the world rankings approached the final positions, silence fell over South Korea.
The commotion disappeared and it grew quiet.
Everyone was sweating in their palms, watching the screen with tense expressions!
[World Ranking 3rd, Yoshida Hikaru (Japan)]
Sugoi hyung, Hikaru, who had always held the fixed 2nd place, was pushed down to 3rd.
└ Please
└ Pleeeease
└ shivering/trembling
└ I beg you, I beg you
└ Let’s gooooooo!
When everyone’s fervent wishes reached the screen.
Ding!
[World Ranking 2nd, Rachel Rose (England)]
The board announced it.
The complete end of England’s hegemony!
And the beginning of Baek Jin-woo’s legend!
“Waaaaaaaah!”
“Uwaaaaaaah!”
Everyone burst into cheers toward the sky, and Yubaek City became a cauldron of ecstasy.
“Guild masterrrr!”
Jin-woo sirrrrr!”
“Uhahahahahat!”
The fact that Rachel, who seemed eternally immovable, was ranked 2nd meant only one thing.
Baek Jin-woo’s 1st place!
10 more seconds passed.
Ding.
[World Ranking 1st, Baek Jin-woo (South Korea)]
Finally, the world ranking announcement was complete.
A proud 1st place!
It was the moment when Jinugod reclaimed the position of Ilcheon (One Sky).
