Beginning on the Yellow Rank

EP 1 – Login

Ryo lives in a poor neighborhood and spends most of his time in internet cafes and on old phones. Online shooting games are the only thing that make him forget his problems.

Ryo:

— In the game… I’m someone.

He enters the server for the first time, serious, playing ranked. Even with basic equipment, he defeats several experienced players.

Miu (chat):

— Hey, you play way too well for a beginner.

Ryo doesn’t respond. He just keeps playing.

At the end of the day, an invitation pops up on the screen: Snipers Guild.

EP 2 – The Invitation

Ryo accepts the invitation and joins a private lobby. Several players watch him in silence.

Guild Leader:

— You’re not afraid at all. I like that.

Ryo:

— Fear only gets in the way.

Miu joins the voice chat.

Miu:

— So you got invited too…

They realize they’re not alone. A third player joins the room: red and black hair, calm attitude.

Friend:

— If we’re going to climb the ranking… better together.

EP 3 – First Mission

The trio enters their first official match as a team. The level is already higher.

Miu:

— These guys don’t miss.

Ryo:

— Then we can’t either.

They win by a narrow margin. The ranking rises quickly.

After the match:

Friend:

— This isn’t just a game.

Ryo feels a strange chill in his stomach.

EP 4 – Off the Screen

In real life, Ryo heads home through dangerous streets. He hears screams near a bank.

A man with a gun tries to attack a child.

Without thinking, Ryo pulls out his airsoft gun and shoots with precision, taking down the attacker. Other accomplices try to react, but he quickly takes down four more before the police arrive.

Police Officer:

— Kid… where did you learn that?

Ryo doesn’t answer. That night, he can’t sleep.

EP 5 – Real Reflexes

In the game, Ryo is different. Faster. Colder.

Miu:

— You’re acting weird today…

Ryo:

— Just focused.

They win consecutive matches. Their ranking rises close to 200.

But Ryo begins to blur the line between the game and reality.

EP 6 – Pressure

The guild starts demanding more.

Guild Leader:

— You have potential for Top 150.

Friend:

— This isn’t normal for us.

They lose a rough match.

Miu:

— We’re not invincible.

Silence.

EP 7 – Almost Breaking

Ryo plays alone, hidden from the team, and loses several matches.

Ryo (thought):

— If I climb alone… I won’t put anyone at risk.

Miu discovers it.

Miu:

— You don’t decide that alone!

They fight for the first time.

EP 8 – Team Meeting

The trio talks outside the game.

Friend:

— If we fall, we fall together.

Ryo:

— I don’t want to lose you.

They make a pact: nobody plays ranked alone.

EP 9 – Ranking 160

The team enters a brutal sequence of matches.

Miu:

— Every mistake costs us.

They reach ranking 160. The atmosphere changes. The game becomes crueler, faster, smarter.

EP 10 – Unexpected Encounter

After playing, the three go to a shopping mall. In an electronics store, they see a girl playing alone.

She wins with cold precision. Her ranking appears: 147.

Ryo:

— You play alone?

Ayla:

— I play better this way.

Miu:

— We’re close to 160 too.

Ayla:

— Then you know. After 150, there’s no mercy.

Ryo:

— What’s your name?

Ayla:

— Ayla.

EP 11 – The Weight of 150

They play with Ayla for the first time.

Friend:

— These enemies are different…

Ayla:

— The AI learns you.

They lose narrowly.

Miu:

— Losing like this never hurt before.

Ayla:

— It always hurts.

Later:

Miu:

— Why do you keep playing?

Ayla:

— Because stopping hurts more.

EP 12 – A True Team

Ayla starts guiding the team.

Ayla:

— Trust me.

— Less hurry.

— More head.

In a decisive match:

Ryo:

— If I mess up now…

Ayla:

— Shoot. I’ve got you.

They win.

Miu:

— That… felt different.

Ryo:

— You’re staying with us?

Ayla thinks for a few seconds.

Ayla:

— As long as the ranking allows.

From 150 onwards, the game is no longer just fun—it’s survival.

EP 13 – Beyond the Limit

The ranking shows 149. The match starts differently. No silly mistakes. No weak players.

Miu:

— Feels like a different game…

Ayla:

— Because it is.

They are eliminated too quickly.

Friend:

— We didn’t even breathe.

Ryo closes the game silently.

EP 14 – First Real Defeat

Two consecutive losses. Ranking drops to 158.

Miu:

— We climbed too fast.

Ryo:

— Or we reached a place we weren’t ready for.

Ayla:

— Nobody climbs without paying the price.

Silence.

EP 15 – Marked Name

The same enemy team appears again.

Rival Player (chat):

— You guys again?

Miu:

— They remember us…

Ryo:

— Then let’s make it count.

They lose narrowly.

Ayla:

— Now you exist for them.

EP 16 – Training that Hurts

Ayla takes the team to extreme modes.

Miu:

— This isn’t training, it’s torture.

Ayla:

— Ranking doesn’t forgive comfort.

Ryo makes fewer mistakes. Friend covers better.

Friend:

— I’m getting faster…

EP 17 – Triggers

Ryo passes by the bank again, in real life. He freezes for a few seconds.

In the game, he stalls mid-match.

Miu:

— Ryo! React!

Ayla:

— Breathe. Focus on now.

Ryo recovers and secures the win.

EP 18 – Ranking 140

After hard days, the ranking rises.

Miu:

— We did it…

Friend:

— But barely anything left.

Ayla:

— Now you draw attention.

A private message arrives for Ryo.

EP 19 – Separation

Direct invitation in chat.

Message:

— You play better alone.

Ryo shows it to the group.

Miu:

— They want to take you from us.

Ayla:

— Every strong team tries to break others.

Ryo:

— Then they’ll have to try harder.

EP 20 – Penalty

After refusing, matches become unfair.

Friend:

— This isn’t normal…

Ayla:

— They’re testing you.

Three consecutive losses.

EP 21 – Almost Giving Up

Ranking drops to 152.

Miu:

— Maybe this is our limit…

Ryo:

— I didn’t go through all this to stop now.

Ayla:

— If you fall

EP 21 – Almost Giving Up

The ranking drops to 152.

Miu:

— Maybe this is our limit…

Ryo:

— I didn’t go through all this just to stop now.

Ayla:

— If you fall… fall together.

They keep going.

EP 22 – New Strategy

Ayla changes everything.

Ayla:

— Ryo leads.

— Miu controls the map.

— No mistakes in the rear.

Friend:

— It’s working…

Clean victory.

EP 23 – Rematch

The rival team appears again.

Rival player:

— Still alive?

Ryo:

— More than before.

They win.

Miu:

— That was perfect…

EP 24 – Top 120

The ranking stops at 120.

Ayla:

— Now you are a threat.

Ryo:

— And the top?

Ayla:

— Still far. And worse.

The friend says nothing.

EP 25 – Oath

Midnight. The four are connected in silence.

Miu:

— Whatever this game is…

Friend:

— I’ll go to the end.

Ayla:

— No one rises alone here.

Ryo:

— Then we rise together.

The ranking blinks on the screen.

The season enters its darkest phase.

EP 26 – Top 100

Victory comes after a long match. The ranking updates: 99.

Miu:

— We made it…

Friend:

— Top 100…

Ayla:

— Now everyone will want to take you down.

Ryo stares at the screen in silence.

EP 27 – Eyes On Us

In the next match, many players focus only on their team.

Miu:

— They’re ignoring everyone else…

Ayla:

— You became a target.

Ryo:

— Then we endure.

They survive, but don’t win.

EP 28 – First Win in Top 100

A tense match from start to finish.

Friend:

— Last team…

Ryo:

— Now.

Ayla:

— Together.

They win. The ranking rises slightly, but rises.

Miu:

— Every point hurts.

EP 29 – Fatigue

Ryo starts making mistakes. Miu hesitates. The friend fails to cover.

Ayla:

— You’re exhausted.

Ryo:

— We can’t stop now.

Ayla:

— You can. Or the game stops you.

EP 30 – Forced Break

They spend a day without playing.

Miu:

— Feels wrong not to log in…

Friend:

— My head is heavy.

Ryo looks out the window.

Ryo:

— The game is becoming like real life.

EP 31 – Cold Return

Back in the game, the team plays more contained.

Ayla:

— Less emotion. More calculation.

They get close to victory, but lose.

Miu:

— Still… it was better.

EP 32 – New Rival

A player stands out in every match against them.

Ranking name: Specter – Rank 32

Friend:

— He always finds us.

Ayla:

— Because he studies you.

Ryo:

— Then we change.

EP 33 – Mental Game

Specter provokes through chat.

Specter:

— You rely too much on each other.

Miu:

— He’s trying to get into our heads.

Ryo:

— Don’t let him.

Still, they lose.

EP 34 – Breaking Point

After the defeat, the friend explodes.

Friend:

— We’ll never get past these guys!

Silence.

Ryo:

— If we fall… it won’t be like that.

Ayla watches, serious.

EP 35 – Final Adjustment

Ayla proposes something risky.

Ayla:

— We change roles mid-match.

Miu:

— That’s dangerous.

Ayla:

— Staying the same is worse.

They train until dawn.

EP 36 – Top 11

Perfect match. No mistakes. No rush.

Ryo:

— Now.

Miu:

— Map clear.

Friend:

— Rear secure.

Ayla:

— Finish.

Victory.

The ranking slowly updates.

11.

Total silence.

Miu:

— We… made it.

Ayla:

— No.

— Now it begins…

EP 37 – The Weight of Top 11

The victory still shows on the screen. But no one celebrates.

Miu:

— Everyone is watching us now…

Ayla:

— Top 11 doesn’t scare.

— It annoys.

Ryo:

— Then they’ll try to erase us.

EP 38 – External Pressure

Messages come non-stop. Invites. Taunts. Threats.

Friend:

— Never seen so many open chats…

Miu:

— Feels like the game got smaller.

Ayla:

— The higher you go… the less space there is.

EP 39 – First Big Drop

A long match. Minimal mistakes. Heavy defeat.

Ranking drops brutally.

Miu:

— How much…?

Ryo looks at the screen.

Ryo:

— 43 positions.

Silence.

EP 40 – Free Fall

Two more defeats. The team plays badly. Pressure sets in.

Friend:

— Everyone’s waiting for us to fail.

Ayla:

— And we’re delivering.

Ryo closes his eyes.

EP 41 – Top 80

After chaotic days, the ranking stabilizes. 80.

Miu:

— We plummeted…

Ryo:

— But we didn’t break.

Ayla:

— Those who fall and rise… scare more.

EP 42 – Reality Hits

In real life, Ryo passes the bank again. Sirens. Police cars. People watching.

Ryo (thinking):

— This all started there…

In the game, he plays colder than ever.

EP 43 – Recovery

Clean victories. Fast decisions. No unnecessary chatter.

Friend:

— We’re back.

Miu:

— Different.

Ayla:

— Better.

The ranking rises fast.

EP 44 – Top 97

After a decisive match, the number appears.

97.

Miu:

— We stop here…

Ryo:

— For now.

Ayla:

— The next step isn’t normal.

EP 45 – The 96

A screen appears after the match.

NEXT CHALLENGE:

Face the Top 96 ranked team

Special match

No repeats

No mercy

Friend:

— This is like a duel…

Miu:

— Whoever loses… falls.

Ryo:

— Then we don’t lose.

Ayla:

— Get ready.

EP 46 – THE YELLOW RANKING WAR

“YELLOW RANKING WAR”

Top 97 is no longer a safe zone.

To rise, you must take down those above.

The Top 96 team waits.

No extra rules.

No margin for error.

The real battle begins now.

Se quiser, posso fazer uma versão revisada mais “natural” em inglês, que fique ainda mais parecida com os diálogos de manhwa que se lê no Honeyfeed, pronta pra postar direto.

Quer que eu faça isso?
