I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

The first would be that having one blessing without an extra slot means you have a harder time gaining more blessings. Yes, one could have more than one blessing, and that was the top secret the angels hid from us.

The manual was written by them, so they would never reveal such important things to us.

Many people wouldn't perform well in the quests. It was, after all, depending on many variables, attributes included.

But on the other hand, we had a good number of humans who would have a chance to gain more than one god blessing. So if they listened to these lies, and most would, they would lose a valuable chance here.

The second lie was a simple knowledge about gods; they weren't just one category. Gods, in fact, was a general term describing anyone who had achieved a big success in his past life and became a legendary figure.

And it wasn't limited only to the human race. Any god from any other race could extend his/her blessing to humans. Of course there were some conditions for that, still it was something feasible.

The lowest rank of gods would be the legendary figures, then commanders, and great commanders. After that the ranks of true gods would appear.

They were the gods mentioned before in the great pantheons of humankind. Like the Greek pantheon, the Egyptian pantheon, and the Chinese pantheon.

Those were the real deal. But to get their attention, it would be impossible in just the first quest. I needed to succeed in at least five quests to gain their attention.

Plus the next chance of having another slot would be at the fifth quest.

Alright. As I didn't plan to get any blessings today, I closed the list and looked up at the sky.

It was supposed to be the start of a new day now. In other words, dawn just kicked in. but the world was still as dark as before.

'Open market,' I shifted my gaze towards the market for now. I still had little more than ten million coins.

It looked like a big sum, but compared to my next preparations they were barely enough.

"Where are we going? This isn't the direction of the museum!" that jumper complained as we walked, interrupting my line of thoughts.

"What's your name by the way?" I asked while moving my eyes around the marker interface. Yeah, I found it! Finally I had this legendary icon at last!

'Open the class market,' I thought and with a flash the new market interface appeared in front of my eyes.

Market had many layers inside. The basic one was the interface opened for everyone. But there were interfaces for classes, people with inheritances, people with blessings, and many other top secret layers.

I never got the chance to see such an interface ever in my life. I read a lot about it. Hell, I read tons of records describing this. But compared to seeing it with my own eyes, everything pales in comparison.

The items sold there were much better than the normal market. Plus the auction here was faster.

"I won't say my name to a dead boy."

"Boy, kid… How old do you think you are? You look just a couple of years older than me!" I complained while opening the search bar and started to look for two things.

I knew these things wouldn't be available at the normal market.

"I lived through fifty worlds so far," he boasted like it was a good thing to run from fifty different challenges. What was there to be proud of? "Coward," I blurted out what I felt at this moment with disgust.

"What did you say? Are you tired from living already?"

"Humph," I didn't pay him any attention anymore. The search results came and the prices I saw made my face twitch.

C'mon! A single item was sold by the price of four million at the base? And it was an auction? This wasn't fair!

"I'll bid with five then," despite feeling bitter, I placed my bid before opening another search bar and looked for another item.

"Three million… C'mon!" I shroud in anger. This time my coins were barely enough!

"Do you lack coins? Of course you do. If you follow me, I'll keep your account filled with tens of millions of coins."

As I placed four million as my bid, that jumper showed off about his own wealth.

"I've ten million here and I only lived for one life. Calling yourself a rich man with only this much? Tsk, I'm disappointed."

"You…" he shouted and pointed his spear in rage towards me. But who told you to show off using such a low wealth bud? You dug this hole yourself.

I started to check my inventory. Damn lord! That was a really big harvest I made back there.

The items there were in hundreds! Even many of them had many ten digits besides them, mostly gears.

'Time to sell them then,' I didn't hesitate to place a hundred pieces of gear in the market. I knew their value might be useful later on when I created my little army. But I knew I was about to gain more so soon.

Plus I just bid on the cheapest two items here. The third one was considered the pricest out of them. If I didn't get it with twenty million coins at least, then people attending these auctions must have something wrong in their minds.

[You placed shield tier five into auction. Base price: five hundred thousand coins]

[You placed spear tier four into the auction. Base price: Three hundred and fifty thousand coins]

Messages started to pop in front of me the more I placed items. When I reached fifty, I hesitated to put more.

"I believe this is enough," so instead of my earlier plan of selling a hundred gear, I only placed fifty.

Out of them, five were in tier seven, eight in tier six, and most of the rest fell between tier three and five.

That was a good harvest indeed. I thought these gears were at tier two and three at most. But who knew I would get such high tiers as well.

The higher the tiers, the higher the base stats they required to be used. So despite having such a big amount of advanced gears, it was early to celebrate this.

They wouldn't be useful until quest four at least.

"You don't need to sell your things dude, just accept me as your master."

"Stop your bullsh*t already. Even if you asked me to sponsor you, I would refuse."

"Spon… What the hell do you think I am? A beggar?"

"Tsk, it's good to know your true worth. It helps to know one's status in life."

"I'll kill you!"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm a dead man already, right?"

I wasn't afraid anymore from him. I knew he could easily crush me if he wanted. It wasn't his stats, but his cultivation. But he wouldn't do that.

I already got into his mind. He would hesitate to kill the one who would show him a miracle, a miracle of a weakling like me defeating what a giant like him couldn't.

'Now it's time for the big item… yeah, it's sold at twenty-five million coins already,' I found it but it went far above what I initially thought.

The auctions I placed would need ten more minutes to conclude. As for the two I bid for, I just checked. They were almost over.

[The stach of the blue unicorn spears you bid for is inside your inventory]

[The sac of the giant octopus is placed in your inventory]

Good! Now with these two things I could start laying out my defense.

"This is the direction of the Great Lawn?" the jumper asked and I couldn't help but ask back:

"Do you know the park by heart or what?"

"I came here so many times already," he shrugged as if he was an old wise man.

"Yeah, you failed a lot already here," I kept teasing him. If I let the seed I planted in his subconscious dry, it might just die out.

"..."

He just twitched his jaw and could see the faint trembles from underneath his scarf. This man was still acting cautious against me, not even showing me his damn face or telling me his name.

"We are going to Turtle Pond," I said slowly, "to one particular sculpture."

"Sculpture? What for?" he said in disdain.

"Do you know what's the most powerful aspect of the weapon of the star?" I suddenly asked while pointing towards the sky.

I knew the attack coming, I knew it very well. According to the old man's words, it came in two forms. One was the herd of monsters, and that was no way to be challenging such a strong jumper.

But the second was the deadly hit from that city destroyer star. It was so deadly to not even be defended against even once. Even in the old man's heroic tales, no one ever faced such brutality and lived.

"It's crushing strength perhaps?" he said it like he was terrified from that weapon. And he should be. He faced death many times already thanks to that weapon alone.

"It's faith," I said as I recalled the words of the old man about that weapon. "It holds a great amount of faith inside that little star of it."

"Faith? How can faith be this deadly?" he didn't seem to believe me, "no, its strength is the main threat it has. Only facing it with an equal strength would anyone be able to survive its attack."

"You are wrong," I firmly shook my head, "and I'll show you in an hour how."

"Humph! A dead man talking and boasting! Of course you can say anything you want. Saying and doing aren't the same thing, kid."

"I know, just like your empty words about courage and bravery don't matter compared to your cowardly actions from before."

"You… Do you want to die?"

"Hahaha, no thanks. I prefer to live my life to the fullest," I said while shifting my gaze towards the big statue in the distance, "I paid a hefty price already to live the life I have right now."

The stute was like a giant standing in the middle of an open field. The sky lit up slightly at this moment but it was way dimmer than any day.

Sun wouldn't shine up anymore on Earth. Earth itself wouldn't stand alone like that. Soon other worlds would join and Nala would be formed slowly along the quests.

And a new star would shine brightly over the new land.

"This… Isn't this the Polish king or something?" The jumper stood in front of the big statue of a man standing on top of his horse, raising two swords above his head.

"The statue of King Jagiello, the biggest statue in the central park," I said before I moved around and started to take the spears out.

The spears I bought were special. They belonged to a creature not in our world yet, the blue unicorn. It was a monster that lived in the sky of a world that was once lost.

But that world was special as the energy in there was way thicker than what was on Earth. The horn was precious as it was the only part of that creature to deal with that energy.

In other words these spears that each reached my height and were as thick as my fist were able to conduct energy better than anything else on Earth.

Even compared to other creatures, this one was special indeed.

"Why are we here again?" The jumper didn't know my plan. Of course a dummy person like him who only thought with his muscles and not brain wouldn't understand.

"I'll explain later," but trying to explain without a demonstration was like forcing a kid to read a text book without illustrations.

I started to plant my spears in a specific shape, a pentagonal star. It was a needed step before the last part of my plan.

As I finished, I started to move towards the nearby pond.

The statue lies at the east end of that pond. While I moved, I placed the spears on the ground. 'One shouldn't be enough, right?' I placed two next to each other, with their tapering end pointing towards the pond.

"Is it a unicorn horn?" The jumper was smarter than he looked. He seemed to recognize the spears I had.

"Leave them be," he tried to grab one from the ground but I stopped him. But he didn't listen and grabbed one.

*Buzz!*

"Damn! That little horn here is so fierce already!" his body shone in a faint purple aura before it was all sucked dry by the spear he held in hand.

"In just a moment he almost sucked me dry," he let the spear fall. That stupid jumper tried to grab the horn and infuse his energy inside it.

Did he have a loose screw in his head or what? Acting this greedy and trying to snatch away my stuff. Humph, he got what he deserved anyway.

"Gosh! Where is the pond?!"

As we reached where the pond was, the pond was gone. Of course I knew who did it. After all, I was the one who instigated all this mess.

"Stand here for a second," I said in a strict tone like I was the boss, "and don't touch anything," as if I was warning a kid already.

I took out my last five spears and placed them halfway over the edge of the pond. Each stach of these spears came with a batch of twenty.

"What is this ugly sac? It stincts!" The jumper covered his nose while looking in disgust towards the black green large sac I just took out.

Of course it smelled awful. But this awful buddie here was crucial to my plan. I let it slide over the side of the pond and placed the tips of the spears inside its jelly-like flesh.

"I'm done," I moved fast away from it as the smell was really unbearable.

"What the hell is that thing?" he pointed at the sac, "are you sure of your plan?"

He knew I had a plan already as it was obvious. But his question hammered on a tough spot here.

"I never tested it to know the results, but I'm confident," I said while trying to act cool.

"Loser," but he teased me back, and he had a point. After all this plan of mine was devised only by me. No one ever managed to face that terrifying attack and lived.

So I was literally gambling with my life here. But I was so much trusting in myself and my mind.

With all the knowledge I had, what was the benefit if I didn't use them in such a way? No way I was wrong, my plan made sense and I'd just like you, idiot, how smart I was.
