I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Even if my energy didn’t show any signs of improvement, it was always great to get stronger.

I instantly opened a portal to my Earth and passed back through it. Once I arrived, I moved my chariot to rise up, to be able to take a general look over the situation here.

But things looked much calmer than what I thought. During these days, the night prevailed again, as the sun clusters in the sky vanished.

Comparing this dimness here with the one back at my second Earth world made me not know which one was worse.

But if I had to select, I’d choose my second Earth for sure. At least there was no fight, no monsters, no enemies, no apocalypse, no quests there.

As things here looked calm and stable, with only signs of improvement at the building progress, I started to move outside the blockage zone.

[How are things at your end?]

I sent this message to the one hundred teams scattered all around my kingdom in the mission. I also sent it to Alex and Leo, to my jumper as well.

All returned back with good responses. Nothing major happened, even at the jumper’s end.

The enemy seemed to grow silent, in preparation for the big fight soon to come..

The calmer he became, the much stronger his next attack would be. However I already decided to strike first. And those who strike first always win.

“Everything… Looks fine,” I sighed at last. All that remained now was for me to check over the various teams working here.

But before that, I checked the messages coming from Silverlining.

And just from the long row of messages I got, I knew the time difference didn’t work over the place he was in.

For a reason, this time difference seemed to be active with my Earth. I also recalled something I missed. When I spoke with the lady nymph, she also didn’t get affected by the time difference.

What did that mean?

Two months of time… Two months without giving a single answer to him made him really insane!

At first, he sent messages telling me that the meeting concluded and he wanted to share the results with me.

Soon he started to send many messages, wondering about why I didn’t get back to him.

And soon his messages turned to please, panic messages sent from such a scared man.

Sigh! It seemed he got severely punished for losing me as a client!

[I dunno what to say, but I was lost in training during all the past months]

[Damn! Damn Hye! Do you want to see me dead or something? Did I do anything wrong or offended you?]

I knew he would say that. After all, the last messages showed how panicked he was.

[Sorry man, I didn’t mean it. I just… Started training and ended up losing track of time]

[For two months?]

[Yes bro, it felt like a couple of hours to me] I wasn’t lying, [Anyway, are you good? Can you solve your current tight situation?]

[I can as long as you can deliver what you promised. Damn Hye! Just the past couple of months… They were a hellish period for me!]

I didn’t know why, but I just imagined him falling on his knees and crying out of relief.

[Ok, let’s start doing business then. I’m going to resume cultivating again so…]

[No, please don’t! Not for a day at least!]

[Ok]

I laughed. This dude… He got really scared when he heard I was going to vanish again.

[Now I’ll tell you what the crown meeting ended up with] he sent this message before a longer one arrived almost the next moment.

I felt like he was scared for me to vanish at any given moment.

When I read the content of the second message, I got to know that what I thought about before starting cultivation happened.

The meeting agreed over the three offers of the three sovereigns. But they also included the condition of sharing bones with others, and not let the three take control of everything.

I got other offers from other sovereigns asking for my red bones and other bones as well. The offers in general weren’t that much different than the ones provided by the three sovereigns.

They gave weird treasures in addition to other stuff that would help these treasures mature and work.

I knew nothing about any of these treasures, and knew if I’d ask, I’d get enticed by these offers.

So I didn’t.

I had to make sure my red bones would be hot cake in that race, in the entire universe. And to do so, I had to keep control over how much bones I’d give for others.

It was better to put on hold their offers for now, even if I could satisfy most of their needs at the moment.

I would accept loss right now and gain much later on better than selling my redbones cheap and suffer later on.

[Sorry my friend, but I told you already I got no more of these red bones] I sent to him, tactfully rejecting the other sovereigns’ offers.

[But… I thought after all this time…]

[I told you, I was lost in training. I didn’t have time to do anything else. So you do apologise to the sovereigns on my behalf. In a few months time, I’ll have at least one more red bone ready. But…]

[But what?]

[Which sovereign will have it?] this was where my real gain would come in, [You know there is a long list of over thirty sovereigns wanting my bones! I can only give one up to two bones in few months time]

[This… Is a real problem indeed]

[Just ask the council or whatever of those controlling decisions at your race. Let them make the selection for me]

[Are you sure? Won’t you select anyone?]

Me? Humph! If I did that, I’d end up being the enemy of over thirty sovereigns! No way I’d let myself be cooked in such a way.

[No, I trust your higher ups to do the right thing. Also the richest offer will win, that’s the general rule. I hope you understand]
