I Became a Raid Boss

[Information: Let’s Find Out Silia’s Mercenary Rank]

You’ve just started playing Silia Online, the legendary MMORPG. You find yourself in a quiet village and receive the title of Wood rank mercenary. Naturally, one might wonder, just how high is the Wood rank?

First, mercenaries in Silia Online are divided into six ranks:

1. Wood
2. Bronze
3. Silver
4. Gold
5. Platinum
6. Lord

If you’ve read any fantasy novels or played competitive games, these ranks should feel familiar. The Wood rank, which you receive at the start of the game, is the lowest rank in the mercenary guild. It’s essentially the rank you get just for registering with the guild. Unlike other ranks, it doesn’t even come with an official mercenary badge to prove your status.

In the game, most Wood rank NPCs you encounter are on par with small-town thugs, hardly a force to be reckoned with.

Now, here’s an interesting tidbit. If you’re quick to notice details, you might wonder, why is there one rank that isn’t based on a mineral? The Lord rank is distinct because it stands apart from the other ranks—something we’ll explain later.

Currently, the player with the highest level is Level 59 and holds a Gold rank badge. So, how strong is a Gold rank mercenary in the world of Silia?

At this point, another set of ranks comes into play:

1. Novice
2. Beginner
3. Expert
4. Master
5. Demigod

It’s starting to get a bit complicated, so let me simplify things:
