The beggining of 2026, America got a new president, one never heard of before... He decided he had enough of all the problems, and created a new system where everyone is ranked and has a status. Now we cut to Jake, he is an average man... well, not so average. Jake had been looking for a job in the past month, but couldnt find one due to his status. Since the change, he had never been too fond of the new system the president created. He criticised it and claimed it's worthless. After struggling so much trying to get a job, he finally succumed to the new system, and decided to finally raise his status.
Jake had a childhood friend, called Cole. Cole was really fond of this new system, the complete opposite of Jake. Cole always praised it, and he had a very high status. Jake hadn't even taken the time to research the new system. Knowing he would some day have to actually build his status if he wanted to survive, he got in contact with Cole.
Jake: Hello?
Cole: Hello Jake! Why are you calling?
Jake: Yeah, can you help me with this new system?
Cole: Why you finally decided to get a status? Why is that?
Jake: Well, im running out of money and really need a job, but nobody wants to hire me since my status is well, the lowest one.
Cole: Look man, meet up with me on Tuesday, at 3pm. I can help you.
Jake: Thank you so much bro, see ya.
Later that day, Jake took his time to search up the new system, see what its all about. He found an informative article about it, which he decided to read. The contents were talking about a set of tests and battles against other people, which examine your ability in different fields. Winning a battle will raise your elo, while losing it, decreases it. Jake has to train if he actually wants to have a chance at getting a better status, so since that day, he set it his goal to train.
Jake researched about every field he is tested on. They were physical, and mental. On the physical was stuff like Gymnastics, Strength, Speed and things you would expect that have to do with physical ability. On mental was iq test, mathematical duels and things you would expect in an olympiad.
So Tuesday finally arrived and he met up with Cole...
Cole: You ready?
Jake: I was born ready...
Cole: Ok you just sound corny when you say it like that but alright.
