I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

I saw the ticket crystal only lying on the ground. But it didn't look like the one I took out from my inventory before.

It wasn't dark blue, it was shining bright in blue light that looked like a tiny star in a dark night sky.

I was about to go down there and pick it up and see what I should do with it. However before I could move a single finger, that little blue shining star flew up into the air.

It looked as if it got shot up with a rocket or something, leaving behind a trail of faint blue shadows like a rocket trail. It rose for almost one mile above the ground, before exploding up there as if it got detonated.

The explosion released long thin blue lines that took a slightly curved course, giving me the impression I was looking at an eye at the sky.

Then all the lines stopped moving, forming a more realistic shadow of an eye in the sky.

This took less than a minute to happen. And the explosion brought by this blue star happened without a single sound.

I felt some sort of connection with it. It was like I could see through it, but couldn't control any of this portal.

It was like I just gained access to a live feed, but I couldn't control this feed at all. It was weird, but it matched what was written in its description.

I couldn't control these tickets, and anyone could use them to go to other worlds without the need of my permission.

I looked at the huge blue eye in the sky. It looked amazingly beautiful. But for the next few minutes, nothing else happened.

"What should I do now?" After ten minutes of no change, I felt like I was missing something. So I took another ticket out and started examining its description.

But there was nothing missing in that description than the one I read before. I got everything needed to activate this portal. And that made me frown.

I followed the instructions to the letter. Despite the description didn't explain much about the right way to activate this portal aside from the energy requirements, I felt there was something missing.

"Star connecting, dammit!" I took tons of energy crystals, and even stat crystals and points with no avail. The eye in the sky didn't show a single reaction, even when I went up there and threw many energy and stat crystals as if I was throwing rocks.

But the moment I shouted, the eye started to finally change.

The first thing to happen was for the lines forming the shape of this eye to start shining. At the same time, I noticed the entire structure of this eye getting shrunk as if it was getting compressed or something.

"At last!" I didn't know that activating it needed my words, or did it require me to curse it?

It seemed a bit weird to be honest.

The changes took less than a minute to get completed. When done, the grand eye that once took over the sky changed into a small shining bright blue -colored eye that didn't look much bigger than a real star in the distant sky.

Then with a soft rumble, a ray of light descended from it, forming a thick pillar of light that expanded over the ground the more it came closer to it.

When the blue light pillar touched the ground, it expanded enough to cover up a few miles. I knew it was going to be easy to send forces through it, as this pillar of light was the portal linking my world to the other one.

"Who is going to take the honour and be the first to invade a world?" I spoke in a low tone, but I was sure my voice was heard by all the generals of the first batch.

This was indeed an honour, one that would hail in the annals of history of my kingdom and all the humans when I'd win this challenge and bet.

"I want to do it!"

"Let me do it!"

"Stand back! I will be the one doing it!"

Just as many started to shout and ask for taking such honour, a single man moved without saying a single word.

Standing high in the air in my chariot let me see him clearly. He walked at a slow pace, but somehow it looked fast. His back was straightened, his face was covered with a mask, and his hand held a grand heavy sword that he raised high in the air while marching forward.

It was the jumper! That dude might be a jerk, getting all the time on my nerves. But at times like these, he wouldn't even give me or anyone face and just would take what he liked.

He was arrogant, arrogant and selfish enough to not accept letting go of such honour. He moved before anyone else would react, and when others woke up from the awe of his sudden move, he was already in front of the pillar of light.

"To all my soldiers, advance!" he shouted, and in the next moment he didn't even wait for the arrival of his forces, took the next step forward and passed through the portal and vanished.

He left behind a world ushering under utter deafness. His move was bold, decisive, and mind boggling.

When other generals woke up, they realised how daring he was. Everyone asked for permission, but he simply went ahead and took what he wanted with his own strength.

In front of everyone, a large army started to march towards the pillar of light following the steps of their general. As this jumper was punished, the size of his army wasn't as much as a leader of the entire expedition.

"You gave that grand general a good deal of headache," Lily came to me and said, while shaking her head.

"If a grand general can't deal with such offensive dudes, then he isn't suited to lead my expedition," I said without even turning over to Lily.
