I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

"I could wipe clean this layer of dust first," the covered engravings and drawings over this gate were a mystery to me. I grew curious the more I looked at it. So why wouldn't I start by doing this?

And that was the first thing I did.

*Clang!*

I held my heavy weight glaive and moved it to hit the gate. I wanted to use its heavy weight to clear the dust off the doors here. But unlike what I expected, the gate stood stable, and the dust didn't move.

"...!" I frowned while looking at such a result. The gate thing I could understand, but that dust… How come it was still there?

And then something appeared in front of my eyes, something that was worth more than a million gates.

[You have unlocked a hidden quest in the dungeon]

[You can now choose any of these skills to unlock using coins]

[The Heavy Blow skill, The Rising Might skill, and The Shocking Glaive is now ready to be unlocked]

[The Heavy Blow skill: Rare grade skill. You can use your glaive and gain extra weight equal to ten folds its weight to crush your opponent. The damage taken will be equal to ten folds the initial damage of your glaive. Cool down: one minute. Price to unlock: One hundred thousand coins]

[The Rising Might skill: Rare grade skill. You can move your glaive in a certain path, unlocking more momentum and adding an aura around it. The glaive will release a cone shaped attack that will cover the distance of one hundred metres in length. The damage taken will equal to three folds the damage of your glaive. Cool down: one minute. Price to unlock: One hundred thousand coins]

[The Shocking Glaive skill: Unique grade skill. You can take a full circle around yourself, releasing a shockwave from your glaive, hitting all opponents in a five hundred metre radius. The damage each enemy will take is equal to five folds the damage of the glaive. Cool down: Two minutes. Price to unlock: One million coins]

I blinked thrice while rereading these messages again. A new message popped up, jolting me awake from my daze.

[Which skill do you want to unlock?]

"All of them!" I didn't even think. I came here with one main target in mind. I had to unlock skills, as much as possible, as mighty as possible.

My lack of skills was something I was well aware of. If I was hindered by anything in this apocalypse then it would be my skills.

The only drawback here was that all these skills lacked the growth factor. That wasn't that bad, but it meant I had to depend entirely on my weapons and work hard to upgrade them.

After all, the final damage of each skill depended upon the initial damage of the glaive.

Speaking about glaives, I didn't feel any pressure. After all I had one hell of a glaive waiting in my inventory for me to grow stronger to use it.

I tested it before, many times already, and it never failed me. It was a deadly sort of weapon. So these skills wouldn't disappoint me at all.

But I had two issues I had to solve here first. And one of them was this:

[Sorry, your current coin balance is sealed]

[Your test coin balance is zero]

[You don't have enough to unlock any skill]

"Do I?" I grinned evilly before opening my market interface and started selecting things from my inventory.

Of course only common things were unlocked. Things like materials and stat points were sealed. I still had my gears, but selling them was a worse option for me.

The better solution here was to sell all the unneeded monster materials I gathered from here. During this fight, I killed lots of monsters, almost close to fifty thousand mark.

I made sure to collect everything while I was on the kill spree. That was, of course, out of my habit. But now such a habit has proved itself worthy.

I now had many items to sell. I only kept those cores and their structures, and placed everything else on the market.

[Do you want to auction these materials or directly sell them by the basic market price?]

I got this message and I was tempted to try the auction. But auctioning them had one drawback… It would waste lots of time.

"I'll sell half of them directly," I decided to be slightly reasonable here, "and auction the other half."

[The fur of the Rocker Bull monster is sold for two hundred coins]

[The hooves of the Rocker Bull monster are sold for fifty coins]

.

.

I started to get a long row of messages about the items sold directly. In a span of a few minutes, I gained almost ten million coins.

"I want to buy the three skills," feeling the familiar feeling of being a rich tycoon, I said in a loud and confident tone.

[The Heavy Blow skill is purchased for one hundred thousand coins]

[The Rising Might skill is purchased for one hundred thousand coins]

[The Shocking Glaive skill is purchased for one million coins]

I have spent only one million and two hundred thousand coins on the three skills. I held my heavy weight glaive, feeling the urge to test these skills now.

But I knew I had to wait. Another issue was there for me to solve.

I swapped my glaive for one of my swords.

The messages came when my glaive touched that gate. So what about my other weapons? I got two swords, two daggers, and a shield.

If I could get more skills for them then it would be perfect.

I hit the gate with my sword, and a message popped up almost instantly. I looked up at it with much anticipation, just to be slightly disappointed when I read its content.

[Sorry the hidden quest is already activated. You can't activate it again]

Damn! It didn't work!!
