I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

What was scary about this contract wasn't the fact it could create many versions of contracts and create endless numbers of these, but its level of authority.

This contract didn't need any help from the system. It worked by using the universal energy around and forcing the content of the signed contracts on the soul level.

That meant even if I went to another universe where the system didn't exist, I could still make use of these contracts and bind anyone with these.

It was scary! And I realised the endless potential of getting such artefacts. And it deserved its name; the God of Contracts!

[Where are you now? It's happening!]

And just when I was reading through the content of that artefact, played a little with it and created different versions of contracts and signed them, I got such a message from Lily.

The first line of defence was here, and the one month honeymoon period was over!

[I'm coming! Where are they coming from?] I moved my chariot through a portal path and appeared at the first place I arrived at.

[They are coming from the outer regions… They are surrounding us!] she sent me such news, and it wasn't that much different from what I expected.

I thought about where the Silence race armies would come from. And I have two options. Either they'd come from the outside, like they did just now. Or they'd sprout anywhere inside the zones, or even everywhere.

I was lucky that they came from outside. Like this, the defences we painstakingly built would show up their worth.

[Coming!] I never explored the entire zone here or in other regions. I let others do such a task. And I had to travel now using my chariot's top speed.

[Keep me posted about the updates of the initial clashes] I paused before adding, [Tell me reports about all the regions]

[Got it!]

I knew the initial clashes were the most important to determine the effectiveness of our entire plan.

If the defences we built and the star arrays we learnt failed to contain and stop the invasion of the Silence race, then I had to interfere personally in all the regions.

Of course trying to take over all the regions solo would be impossible. So I'd lose at least half of the regions, if not more.

But the reports I sought took quite some time before arriving. As I travelled fast using my chariot, and during my wait for Lily's next messages, I thought about something quite weird.

"The notification mentioned that anyone in this quest can message other contestants… But to do so we need the final list showing the ones taking part in all the twenty trials to be released first…"

Up till now, such a list hasn't appeared yet. And that made all of us unable to get in touch with each other. I thought the system higher up would release this list faster and much earlier than the arrival of the first wave of Silence.

Like this, we could have shared our knowledge together, worked with each other to form a strong front against the Silence invasion.

After all, the Silence race wasn't going to just solely focus on my region. If I had a way, I'd teach others about the right way to fight against these enemies.

This way they'd buy lots of my bones, and in return they'd put up a much fiercer struggle against the Silence race.

And that would result in lowering the pressure over my forces. But that didn't happen. And when thinking back about how the system higher ups agreed to my plan, such an action didn't add up.

"Don't tell me they aren't the ones taking control over the entire thing…" This was the sole explanation that could make this weird thing logical.

According to the demonesse, the Holy Ones were the ones to establish the golden quests. I thought they established the place and competition, and the system would take control over everything.

Even if the system was limited in actions by a set of rules, it was still possible for exploiting the gaps in these rules to make few things happen.

Especially if we were talking about such trivial matters as the earlier release of the final participants list.

The only ones who would find it quite harmful to prerelease such a list would be those angelic fiends.

And that meant they were the ones taking control over the entire rules and competition.

"If so… Then can they do anything more?" I never thought about such a possibility before. If I did, I'd just have used that moment of weakness from that demonesse and asked such a question.

But now, I have to think about much worse things. For example, could they control which regions would be targeted first by the Silence race? Could they even delay other regions and focus mainly on a few?

If such a thing was true, then the end result would be quite disastrous. That meant my forces would be forced to face swarms of endless enemies.

Even with the help of arrays, that wouldn't help in stopping these enemies.

"If that happens then I have to drop the idea of saving up my warriors…" During the entire month, I got an endless supply of warriors coming from my warrior den.

Endless tokens were added during this period, and many of them were different forces I got from my kingdom. I only scattered out the old warriors I gained from Silverlining, and left the newly gained ones in reserve.

I also gained lots of warriors from Silverlining, but they weren't as important as the ones I gained from my kingdom.

In addition to the zombie race members Loran sent before, I gained tons of the newly acquired seven stars race members.

And those were the ones I desired to store up till the moment of facing up the deadly fourth wave, those fiends.

"I can't risk exposing them to the enemy…" I knew these fiends were closely watching my actions.
