GRRO Manual part 14.
Written by Samuel Jones,
GRRO chief executive London branch.
Greetings ,
In this section, we will go over the way the GRRO classifies both Rifts and Rifters in terms of their measurable strength. Take note that, although most of the world recognises the GRRO standard, it still is not universally accepted. Rifters going abroad might run into different classification systems.
Defining a Rifter’s level:
The GRRO recognises a Rifter’s level according to their displayed number within their status. Withing certain situations, an external measurement might be required, but it is usually less secure compared to a Rifter simply stating their level and attributes. The GRRO recognises and considers that there is a vast difference between a Rifter’s level and his actual combat strength. This is because of a multitude of factors that come into play, be it Skills, the distributed Attribute points, the Rifter’s natural affinity for combat and equipment, to name a few. The GRRO still holds the Rifter’s level as a benchmark for most Rifts, seeing as the attribute baseline is universal. Example: A level 100 Rifter will always have a higher Agility level than a level 20 who spends all their points on Agility.
The Rifter’s ranking:
Level
Ranking
Recommended Rift level
1-10
Survivor
Between 1-3
10-100
Veteran
Between 1-6
100-200
Expert
Between 1-9
200-400
Elite
Between 1-11
400-800
Master
Between 1-14
800+
Legendary
Unrestricted
The GRRO maintains this structure because of the similarity between a Rifter’s class system, where each higher rank coincides with a change in their class. In the past, this had been mandatory and strictly regulated, but with the increase in Rift occurrences and the abundance of higher quality gear, the GRRO has changed this demand into a mere recommendation. Privately owned Rifts by companies or guilds might prefer different standards, but those monitored and under the administration of the GRRO will all be uniform.

A Rift Level:
We measure a Rift’s level or rank either by machines capable of monitoring the output of a Rift, or by Rifters that have the required Skills or Class to measure them. An example would be a Seer class or through a high ranked Skill such as Inspection. In most cases, a standardised piece of machinery provided by the GRRO will be used to determine the level of the Rift.
A Rift’s size and growth conveys very little about its relative level or the pitfalls that lay within. A rule of thumb is that the higher a Rift’s level, the higher the quantity or quality of the number of monsters or their equipment. Because of the varying nature between the quality and quantity, a Rift’s level can be deceiving. More than one party or guild has suffered high casualties because of a Rift suddenly overwhelming them with a vast quantity of lower-ranked monsters, or simply crushing them with a single powerful monster.
Beyond the strength of a Rift, there is also the nature of the environment inside. There are numerous examples of a lower-level Rift being far more dangerous because of poisonous flora and fauna, unbreathable air, an unstable flow of time, or simply the absence of fresh water.
The official GRRO policy is that a party’s average level should always be a few ranks higher than the Rift they are about to enter, and that proper research is to be done about said Rift beforehand.

Medley of Fates Worse than Death
Rick wakes up in a world unknown to him. He doesn't know what exactly happened or why he is there, he just feels he's not from that world as if he had Dissociative amnesia. Soon after waking up, he gets attacked not once, not twice but three times in a single day. Our hero can know how strong enemies are thanks to a special ability of his, but the thing is... What good does it do to know just how weak you are compared to a deadly creature chasing you? This is a LitRPG Fantasy Adventure in which battles are won (or lost) with strategy and wits as our protagonists aren't necessarily the strongest... So if you enjoy more strategic battles I think you will love this story!About the chapters: I will post mostly 1,300 or so word chapters, I love weekly manga and feel like that pacing is similar to the one in a weekly serial chapter, hopefully, you enjoy these chunk-sized chapters :) I only do this for fun in my free time so I think I will probably post a chapter a week, but if my patreon ever gets busy I might put more time into my hobby xD If you feel like checking out some of the newest chapters, I have them over on my Patreon (Currently 5 chapters in advance): www.patreon.com/rija Extra info (Might get spoilery): As the story progresses I intend to add more strategy, politics and economics into the story, but it will still be mostly a LitRpg action-adventure. (Also if you had read my synopsis previously I changed it a bit because the elements I mentioned before in the synopsis won't come into play until much later into the story, and that's why I changed it.)

Systrem Amusments
For as long as history has been recorded, the scrolls have held power over all life on the continent. When a blight was forthcoming, the scrolls foretold it. When dangerous beasts reared their faces in civilised society, the scrolls chose the bravest and brightest to defend our way of life. It is only fair, then, that the scrolls would guide our brave adventurers through every step they should take upon \The Path/. Take heart, you intrepid four, for your scroll within your grasp connects you to the will of the world itself. Follow where it leads, and you will find your path to greatness. -Prefect Chelbun; The Initiated's Guide to Adventure Solomon always took the words of his scroll to heart. Where the scroll led, he would have his team follow. Any doubts his team may have were always dashed away by the words scrawled upon that ethereal parchment. Were that ever to fail, swift dicipline would bring his team in line. When the scroll told him to take his first retirement early, he was more than willing to return home and spend the next five years in comfort. It's such a shame, then, that Solomon's team had other plans for him. Clive was never was a fan of the rules, but he still played his part. Despite this, every moment was spent seeing how far he could strech things before he was broken back into line. Now that he was 'retired', however, he had much more room to stretch himself. Now he's got a plan, one that might just make the rules bend his way, for once. Meanwhile, some intrepid new adventurers are ready to make a name for themselves. Fresh off their initiation, they've already received their first quest, their first tale to tell around the hearth. Chances are good, however, that this story is beyond anything they were expecting. On a journey through uncharted territory, laberinthine cities, and conspiracies older than time itself, only one thing is certain. Whatever comes their way, it's sure to be an amusing tale.
