Allforone was seriously the worst player I’ve ever seen. 

*   *   * 

Allforone was an unchallenged top ranker who took first place in the rankings both as a player and as a clan. However, little was known about his identity. For hundreds or maybe even thousands of years, he had stopped climbing up the Tower, and remained on the seventy-seventh floor. Since he rarely ventured outside, it was difficult to find a player who had met him in person. Only the nine top rankers, the Nine Kings, had ever seen him—and that was from a distance. That was how much Allforone disliked the company of others. 

He thought on his own, made decisions on his own, and moved on his own. However, each time he made a move, tectonic changes swept through the Tower. Although he was just an individual, he wielded more than enough power to overwhelm the giant clans. As a result, players started referring to him as “the Strongest, “the Highest”, or “the Ultimate”.   

No matter who entered or left the Tower, he stayed in the highest position of the rankings. Many players had challenged him for his position, but none had succeeded in dislodging him. However, the challengers’ efforts were not entirely in vain. They studied Allforone and collected information about him, and they eventually managed to analyze some of his skills. One of them was Shukuchi.
