C-Rank Intermediate adventurers with real combat experience. Dungeon raids, beast hunts.
B-Rank Elite class. Skilled in strategy and magic. Escort nobles, patrol dangerous borders.
A-Rank National assets. Powerful individuals trusted by royalty. Subdue demons, lead armies.
S-Rank Living legends. Capable of turning the tide of wars. Fight demon lords, seal catastrophes.
Only a few heroes in every generation ever reach S-Rank.
