I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

And yet he didn’t get a single crystal yet to try out levelling up his or his forces and people’s power. So he didn’t know exactly how much he needed.

He planned to instantly consume crystals once he got them, adding points to his stagnant stats for years and see how much he’d need to reach the top. He didn’t even know what the top meant, what level was considered top.

“If you give me a day, I’ll bring ten times this amount. If you give me more, I’ll bring more,” the merchant was about to jump and hold Hye’s knees to make him agree. And the latter was already eager to wait.

He came here running from his enemies, and he didn’t intend to hurriedly leave this safe spot anytime soon.

In fact he planned to mud the water, searching for any hole to instigate trouble between this world’s owners and the Hescos.

Doing this would keep the Hescos forces in the region busy handling the unexpected enemy, while he’d slip away without getting noticed.

Hye finally got the U. stat crystals he tried to get for the past twenty years. To him, this was a grand victory, an achievement he was proud of. And he wanted to hurry and try them out.

But the merchant was already flying at sky seven. He didn’t give Hye any chance at all as he hurriedly walked him towards the inner sectors.

“You will reach the next sector, and that’s where my privilege can reach. I can’t take you any deeper, but I’ll introduce you to one of my friends. He will take you deeper, and perhaps you can make a deal with him but don’t forget about me. I plan…”

The merchant kept speaking about his plans to use the bones, his fears and worries from others making a deal with Hye, his realisation that there wasn’t anything in his power to stop such a thing.

His talk didn’t stop until they arrived at the next sector. And thanks to that, Hye didn’t get a chance to use his crystals and analyse what was going to happen after using them.

Hye expected to see a grand wall lining and separating the two sectors from each other. But when he arrived there, all he could find was just lakes that stretched out for a few miles, few paths walking in between these lakes.

“We are here,” the merchant took them through one path, which was around a few hundred metres in width. It got two small towers at its beginning, where Hye found a group of guards waiting there, protecting the path.

“Oh, you can pass,” one of the guards identified the merchant leading the two. And without saying anything, the guards moved aside, freeing a space for them to walk over the path.

Unlike the bustling sector they came from, starting from the path things were much calmer. Hye didn’t see lots of people on the path, or found as many of them inside the sector they arrived at after walking for a few minutes.

“This is where my friend works,” the merchant was acting like their guide, and he was still speaking about various things that didn’t interest Hye at all.

“I’ll go inside and bring him out, wait for me here,” the merchant finally moved away, and Hye didn’t argue with him. In fact he was eager to kick this merchant away to use his crystals.

“He is a bit funny,” the lady nymph chuckled, seemingly amused by Hye’s obvious struggle.

“A lot more annoying,” he said before taking ten crystal outs. And under the watchful gazes of the nymph lady, he used them at the spot.

“You are eager to level up your stats,” she smiled and watched as a white air appeared and surrounded him.

This was the first time he used crystals to level up. And from this point onward, he was officially part of the universe’s current power scale.

Hye was indeed feeling a bit weird. When he used the crystals, he felt like every single cell of his body was transforming, changing and getting injected with lots of power.

It was an amazing feeling, one that told him a lot about how greatly he and his kingdom forces and people were lacking. This was just the initial entry stage to the universe’s current scale of power. And after he was done, he knew he was like an ant before he went into a fight with anyone from the universe.

Even the weakest person in the universe was strong enough to crush him without any struggle, even if he used his artefacts and techniques.

“That’s why most of the forces in the universe won’t give any uprising power these crystals easily,” the lady nymph said something that he could truly agree with, “and don’t celebrate yet. There is a system of ten levels in the entire universe’s power scale. You just opened the first level, and with each level open, you’ll get more power.”

“For real?” this was the first time for him to know something like this, “how many crystals should I use to rise up from one level to another?”

“Hmm… Consider each level as an entire apocalyptic one hundred levels,” she paused, before adding, “and with each higher level, the number of crystals needed is increased by folds. Buying these crystals will work at your current low level. But after level one, you’ll need to secure crystal mines if you want to rise further.”

“Damn!” Hye couldn’t help but curse out loud, “yet all the mines are controlled by the great forces.”

“The universe is insanely vast, almost limitless,” she shrugged, “even a low-grade impact like ours has few mines under our control. You just need to look at places without any forces controlling them, at uninhabited places in the universe. There you can find lots of gems and unimaginable treasures.”
