I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse



[Not like the original ones, but there are more clones out there in the universe]

"Then… Let me ask you something…" I wanted to take this chance to ask about a certain question that kept bothering me.

[Yes, they are all annoying bastards, who only care about their lunatic dreams and goals, not listening to any logic, acting on impulse, and are quite irritating down to the bones to deal with any of them!]

"Well…" I paused, getting startled slightly by his answer, "I was going to ask about something else. But I can feel you brother, you aren't alone…"

[Brother? Hahaha! Ok, ok brother, tell me what did you want to ask about?]

"Their bad luck… Is it just my jumper or…"

[Oh, that's a common knowledge, they are cursed race, blessed with bad luck]

"Since when was bad luck a blessing?!!"

[That's their point of view, not mine]

"Then leave them confined inside this ball," I paused, "after all this is over, and I gain the overall ownership of the world…"

[That's in case you won!] He tried to interrupt me, but I didn't care about his fair looking attitude.

"When I've won this quest, can I choose to not release those motherf*ckers?"

[Sure, but you have to know that they depend on rewinding back time]

"Oh, about that… I already managed to force my own jumper to not do something like this, hehehehe!"

[Oh, how so?]

"Not telling!" I laughed, while imagining my earlier prank against the jumper and on the spot idea about how to bind him to me worked magically all this time, and was about to serve me all this time.

[Hmm… The only way to do it is by forcing them to sign a contract, preventing them from even thinking about using their ability to jump or else they'd die. But… oh wait… You don't plan to use that?!]

"Yes," I evilly smirked, "there is nothing against me using this, right?"

[Damn evil human! But I like that! Can you lend me this cube of yours?]

"No thanks, I'm going to be busy using it," I laughed, turning towards the bubble I worked all this time to secure my access towards, and yet failed, "on another thought, I can make a trade and lend it to you once I'm done."

[For real? Wait… What do you want in exchange for that? Why do I smell trouble?]

"Come on! Who even mentioned trouble right now? All I want is something simple. You'll have the cube for one year, can you believe this? For a whole year, and that's just for something trivial."

[I don't believe you]

"Just hear me out," I paused, before pointing towards the direction of that bubble, "I wasted tons of time and effort here, to end up with nothing. That's not fair!"

[I don't see anything relevant to me in all this!]

"Yes there it is," I nodded, putting a calm and honest expression over my face, "just give me directions of these bubbles of the jumpers. I won't go and waste my time and effort saving them, to end up getting rejected."

[I can't! This is your challenge, your test, not mine. And doing so is cheating!]

"But you'll get a one year allowance to use my cube, how about that?"

[Well… This is bullshit! But I can't let a prodigy like yourself waste his time and effort on a useless race. Fine! I'll send you a contract about this right away]

"Hahahaha! That's how I like it! Send the contract over."

This higher up might seem hard to deal with, but his mind was simply like anyone in the universe. Just giving him a benefit that he couldn't refuse would put him in my pocket.

He said it was cheating, and I knew it was. But who said to have something that he desperately wanted from me, and I couldn't extort this for little benefit for myself?

I could just go around and repeat what I did here. But I wasted lots of time and effort, and ended up getting nothing in the end. That was a little frustrating actually.

I didn't care that much about time or warriors that I could replace easily later on. However, what troubled me was that the time I wasted here would give the enemy more chances to think about how to stop me.

They knew I was coming to attack the bubbles and release the races inside. And that was why they secured and surrounded the bubble here with tons of force.

But they didn't know how I planned to do it. And now they knew. If I gave them time, and didn't keep pushing hard over them, then they'd end up thinking about a way to stop me.

This was inevitable, as the fiends and their friends proved to be a worthy opponent. I'd prefer to free more races when that'd happen, rather than ending up wasting all this for some f*cking jumpers who would never join me.

Those jumpers… Every Time I thought about them I felt my body tremble out of rage. Since the first time I met that jerk, I knew how annoying this race was.

And when I met the entire race, saw how peaceful those motherf*ckers lived while we were getting tortured and suffering under the hands of the system, apocalypse, and the outside enemies, my desire to burn them alive became unprecedented.

However I had another brilliant thought. They believed they got me and others by taking such an approach, refusing to leave their safe shells, waiting for one side to win and then follow him no matter what origin he was.

Hell, they might even plan to not come out at all, wait until they'd rewind back time and return to the time before my arrival. Then they'd make sure that I'd never be able to find them in the first place.

The best revenge, the best thing I could do to make them suffer most was to deprive them all of their jumping ability. And that was when my cube would come in the picture.
