I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

“Oh, these monsters are like those hybrids,” as I finished this battle without breaking much sweat, I started to dissect the new monsters to see what was inside them.

And there I found a similar honeycomb-like structure with a central core inside. It wasn’t close to the size of the aquatic giant hybrid monsters, but it was weirdly similar.

“So there is such a technique in the universe… Interesting,” I wasn’t polite and stored away all the cores with their structures, besides any valuable materials from these monsters.

But compared to the core structure, there was nothing good in these monsters.

After I finished claiming my loot from both kinds of monsters, I heard an earth shattering series of roars coming from one direction.

Then this one roar turned into a series of roars, and one direction turned into five. I evilly grinned while hearing this, feeling that it was really perfect doing this.

I didn’t even need to raise a single weapon to kill them. Using the two types together seemed the perfect strategy that I decided to adopt.

This time I had five directions I had to cover. I randomly selected one, took out my liquor, then started moving through the burning trees once more.

Unlike the first time, I wasn’t met with any dart or monster at all until I reached the next basin. There I found the battle raging hot, and so I decided to let them continue their business.

I headed towards the other five zones and started to set fire there.

Damn! This test turned me into a fire starter. Was this a bad thing or what? I just felt weird when I thought about it.

As I did that, the fight in this basin was already dying down. I had more areas to visit, so I didn’t wait this time till the end, held my heavy glaive, selected one big bull monster before moving it around like a wrecking ball.

In less than fifteen minutes, I killed everyone here. I then turned to collect my loot. Even if I got my two hands full, I wouldn’t leave any single scrap of loot behind.

But my speed in collecting materials was much better than before. After all this was my third time doing this.

“It’s still burning,” in less than half an hour, I ended up collecting the valuable things here. The fire at the new five areas was still burning, but not enough to scare the agile monsters away.

“Time to visit other places then,” I went back through the path I came from, then went towards another basin through another burning zone.

Like this I kept myself busy, moving fast from one place to another, setting fire to any tree zone I’d met. At some point, I took much time to cover up the basins around the burning trees, to arrive when there was not a single monster alive.

When I first saw this scene, I was instantly scared. But when I checked my class, I was relieved to see the number of my soul points was rising.

“Thirty thousand and five hundred and twenty-three soul points? Thirty-five? Fifty-two? Damn! It’s rising slowly but steadily.”

I moved my eyes around. The world was now filled with two noises only, one was the burning fire noise, and the second was the roars of the monsters.

“So the system considered this as me killing them? Fantastic!”

Currently the number of souls I had was enough to summon almost six warriors. But if I summoned them, I doubted I’d be able to use them properly here.

In fact I was doing just fine by myself right now. Adding any more forces wouldn’t help. Besides, the two monsters were strong but not that remarkable for sure.

Using my soul point here would be a total waste. What if I met up with a new type of monster? One that could, for example, fly?

If I just got a small force of flying monsters here, then I could at least scout this entire world. So clung to such a dream I decided to keep my soul.

I lost track of time, but I was sure I killed hundreds of thousands of monsters. Just as I grew tired from doing this, a new thing appeared in front of my eyes.

“A gate?” Just as I reached a new basin filled with dead corpses, I saw something new in the middle of that basin.

It was a black gate with two doors and a big bell hung over a thick arm from the highest point at it.

Its presence startled me at first, but then I recalled what the system told me before. I was going to be evaluated based on my achievements here, precisely killing monsters and claiming gates.

“So this is the gate,” just as I approached it, I realised I was wrong in estimating its size. It didn’t span for ten metres, but for over twenty, with a width of over ten metres at least.

I reached it and saw many dull looking engravings all over the two doors. There was a thick layer of dust making it impossible for me to see what these writings meant.

I didn’t hurry to touch or do anything to it. Instead I took a circle around it. The gate was almost ten inches thick, with nothing to back it up.

It looked like it was hanging there in the lowest point of this basin without any support. I took a couple of rounds around it to be sure I didn’t miss anything.

This gate wasn’t really standing here with any help. It just was there, like it was cut out from a world and was placed here with a mysterious force or something.

“What should I do?” I looked at the bell in doubt, “shall I force myself to do it or be polite and ring the bell first?”

These seemed to be the two options I had. But just as I stood there looking at this gate, a new option popped up in my mind.
