I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

That was my boy! I evilly grinned while purchasing one of the priciest contracts in the entire market.

It was a high grade one, with the price of ten billion coins. I got tons of coins now after claiming my loot from that battle. So paying such a price wasn't anything big for me.

Once bought, I took my time filling its content and adding all the conditions that would protect me from this damn formidable figure.

[Here] I sent the contract over to him, costing me a pricey item to allow me to send things through chat messages.

[This… No way! No f*cking way I'll sign such a thing!]

[It's the finale. Sign it or leave it. I'm fed up dealing with you. So give me your answer right away]

[That damn condition about paying you all these things… What for? Didn't you say this is going to be your price? Me telling you why I need that dude for?]

[It's just an extra fee. Don't forget, I have to look for him first]

I was lying indeed. I just felt regret to leave everything he offered before behind. So I added them at one condition in that contract. And it seemed it stirred him up.

[Dammit!]

[What's your final answer then? Will you sign it or not?]

[I'm, damn hell I'll let this disgrace be gone without washing it away with your screams and blood!]

[Hey buddy, are you blind or what? There is a condition there to ensure my safety from you. Do you want to die with me?]

[Screw you! Can't I curse and threaten you? Will that count as endangering your life? Hell no!]

[I don't know, but it's your life you are toying with right here. So tread carefully when speaking or thinking about harming me, or else you won't know from where the bolt of lightning will fall over your head]

[F*ck you!]

[Just sign it, I wasted lots of time here. We still need to find that friend of yours and ask him about this world]

[No need. I'm already well aware of all the info he has about such thing]

[Really?!] I was sceptical about what he was saying. But when the contract was signed and I got the notification about it, I knew he was now going to tell me everything.

[Wait until you hear my little story, then you'll get to know everything. What happened before, from over a thousand years ago, was that…]

He started to narrate his tale to me. This time I didn't interrupt or send any mean comment.

He was telling this story while getting bound by the contract. So he wasn't lying. And to be honest… That tale was quite sad!

I already thought about the reason behind such a desire to get someone with space or time abilities. But none of my theories and guesses were right.

He… He was doing this for something that looked trivial in my eyes and worthless as well… He was doing this for love!</o>

Could anyone possibly risk everything to save someone he loved? Aside from that foolish jumper, I never expected anyone else to be as foolish as that jerk.

What happened was this… He was in love with some kind of a girl from another race, a race he refused to tell me its name.

She was his companion, risking their lives on many adventures. He was hot blooded at that time, aspiring for power and fame, aiming to get to heights and places no one else ever went to.

He was an adventurer! And that made him fond of going to places so damn dangerous like these pocket worlds.

He said that his girl had this power, the power to control space. She wasn't that efficient as her race was almost extinct, but she was doing just enough to secure them an opening to and from any pocket world.

He claimed he visited more than twenty of such worlds and gained lots of riches and had fun there. But in one pocket world, he faced a great calamity.

[The pocket worlds we visited before were all in ruins. The people who did it had to secure the treasures and inheritance of their races, not leaving behind a living soul. They were all sealed worlds with nothing there but treasures everywhere]

This was what he mentioned about the pocket worlds he kept hunting. [But the last one was different. It wasn't a simple pocket world, it was one with time powers sealing it. It had people living there, trapped in an endless loop of time. And this was my first time meeting such a thing in the universe…]

He started to describe how the people who built this time loop were vicious and angry. They held great resentment towards everyone else in the universe, seeing them as traitors to their race and their sworn enemies.

So going there ended up with the two lovers getting trapped into something they couldn't get out of. And that wasn't all!

[The ones who did it made sure to leave behind traps triggered if anyone dared to trespass into their world. They wanted their race to live, and didn't want it to live again in our universe. So, they created this loop, making their people there living a life of dream, without really living a single moment]

I got what he meant, and something resonated with the way and words that soul said on the tongue of Hilary. This resentment and hatred… It seemed quite common then between those extinct races.

[The only way out was by burning out her entire power to open a crack for me to get out! And she didn't tell me that until the last moment, while I was already passing through the portal she opened…]

And from there, his over a thousand years of struggle began!

He was in a state of shock when that happened. At first, he tried to get back inside that pocket world.
