Overgeared

The rating of someone’s class wasn’t a measure of their strength—this notion held true just a few years ago. There was no formula that someone with a hidden class was stronger than someone with a normal class. Kraugel had a normal class when he overpowered Grid in the 2nd National Competition, and he reigned with a normal class for years.Faker, who wiped out the Ice Flower Guild, also had a normal class.

Pon, Vantner, Regas, Peak Sword, and Zednos in the Overgeared Guild all had normal classes. Among the top 10 in the unified rankings, the only one with a hidden class was Agnus.

That’s right—originally, the most important concept in Satisfy was control, not class. Satisfy was the game that people confident in their control hoped for. However, the game had long since changed. Was it because Grid’s items had developed? No, this wasn’t the fundamental problem.

The reason that the gap between normal and hidden classes was difficult to overcome with control was due the diversity of abnormal statuses skills. Think of the early days of Satisfy—at most, people possessed two or three skills that caused abnormal statuses, and ‘stun’ was the most powerful one. Over time, there was the third class advancement and more hidden classes were obtained. The type and number of skills that caused abnormal statuses increased significantly. There were too many risks to be considered in battle.

In the early days, a ranker with a normal class didn’t have a problem in PvP because they just had to increase their stun resistance and fear resistance. However, now they had to pay attention to at least 10 different types of resistances. On the other hand, a ranker with a hidden class could resist some status abnormalities, while a ranker with a legendary class, the highest rated hidden class, could resist all status abnormalities and they had few factors to worry about.

A high ranker might’ve achieved their third class advancement and achieved explosive growth, narrowing the gap with those who had a hidden class in terms of stats, but their PvP performance was on the decline. A ranker with a normal class had to invest money in status resistance while a ranker with a hidden class saved their money and invested it in other things. Therefore, it was natural for the rankers with a hidden class to take the lead.

In other words, it became a fucking game of abnormal statuses.

‘Now there is a chance.’

The high rankers with a normal class had completed their third class advancement and adapted perfectly to their new strengths. In the current world of abnormal status conditions, they weren’t easily incapacitated because they made sufficient preparations.

Then what about the ones with a hidden class? They had resisted abnormal statuses for months or even years, and naturally developed a bad habit. They allowed themselves to be hit by skills that caused abnormal statuses without being vigilant. They learned it was more efficient to destroy the target by quickly attacking, rather than paying attention to pointless attacks being thrown at them.

Halle smiled as he recalled the expressions they all showed when their resistance was neutralized.

‘These guys need to know. The reason they have reigned isn’t because they are great. It is just that the privileges they received were great.’

Halle distrusted the concept of effort. He hated humans who placed the word ‘effort’ in their mouths. Business, sports, studying, etc. The best people in each field didn’t reach their current position because of their effort, but instead it was because of their talent and luck. It was proof that effort wasn’t exclusive to the best.

Were there any high rankers who put in less effort than the old Kraugel or the current Grid? Of course not. All the high rankers worked hard in the same way. All the rankers reduced their eating and sleeping time, only focusing on the game. They also researched the game in their everyday life.

However, Halle was limited to being stuck at 54th place on the unified rankings, and there were many people who were worse than Halle. It meant the value of their effort was different. The value of someone’s effort was determined by their talent and luck.

These were Halle’s thoughts.

The high rankers were just lucky to have better talent than other people, and among them, those who changed to a hidden class just had better luck. The world who treated them as heroes was just ignorant and pitiful.

‘They don’t know these people are a plague draining the life of the game.’

Halle bet everything on Satisfy. The ruin of Satisfy was nothing more than the ruin of his own life.

‘I can’t let those who believe in innate luck ruin the balance that is controlling my life.’

Morale would gradually become worse due to the people with a hidden class. All players would soon feel the deprivation that only high rankers felt and from then on, Satisty’s popularity would decline. Halle wanted to save Satisfy before that happened. He would fully target the players who had a hidden class, and spread the word to the world. He would stop the small number of people with a hidden class from reigning.

A notification window popped up in front of Halle as he strengthened his motivation.
