Chapter Title: Three Kinds of People
-----------------------------------------------------------------
There are three kinds of people in the world.
First.
Those who cannot see the Status Window.
They make up by far the largest portion and live perfectly ordinary lives.
They enjoy the fruits of mechanical civilization, developing all sorts of convenient gadgets for everyday life using the novel materials that ability users and hunters bring back—people who savor a truly mundane existence, never once feeling the shadow of death looming over them.
Second.
Those who can see the Status Window.
They account for less than 1% of the total population, but more than half of even them end up abandoning their abilities.
Superhumans who struggle and fight for growth, forging themselves into powerhouses.
These superhumans clash with beings from other worlds, but if the life doesn't suit their nature, it's a grind they just can't stomach—so they walk away from it more often than not.
Even after giving up their powers, the mana they've already accumulated lingers in their bodies, letting them keep their youthful looks, which means they still come out ahead in the end.
Third.
Those who can see quests.
Only a minuscule fraction of Status Window users ever receive quests.
People who can grow and get stronger far faster than those who only see a Status Window—individuals with the potential to become layer guardians or layer climbers.
That's me.
Damn it.
I was trying to seal my abilities and live as a normal person.
