I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Only exceptional generals like the Legend case would be granted such an exception. Seeing my silent arrangement made the faces of the Hector generals change slightly before they returned to their joyful and cheerful expression.

“Lord, can’t we ascend and climb ranks in the kingdom?” one of them couldn’t fight the urge to ask about this.

“In my kingdom, anyone has the chance to ascend higher,” I simply answered him, in a tone that wasn’t humble or overbearing, “but I know my friends and how good they performed. Also I saw Legend in the act. As for you… I have to listen to reports from other generals first before deciding your ranks.”

I rejected his indirect request, and also gave them all hope. I wasn’t lying. Legend did extremely great, fighting on all sides, and even gained the recognition of the jumper.

As for the rest, I was quite busy handling other fights and matters and didn’t have the chance to observe their actions.

Yet they weren’t fighting alone. They were fighting alongside many friends of mine. So I just had to ask, and if any of them performed exceptionally, he or she would be rewarded.

“We shall leave this for later,” Hilary said while leaning her head over my chest. Since coming onboard, and she didn’t leave my side, “we still have beasts to kill.”

“And a continent to conquer,” Isabella said, and I looked over their faces while nodding.

“First things first,” I paused, “the jumper is looking for that fifth beast. But so far he didn’t find a trace of it. So you should go and talk to the locals, see if they know anything about this.”

A day and half just passed already without finding that beast. I got one of two explanations for this; either it was already killed, or it was well hidden away from here.

This continent was massive! Even if it was hidden somewhere, then my forces would just break every stone and explore all valleys before finding it.

But first, we had to ask around and see if this beast was already killed or not.

“So boss, are we going to kill beasts first or control the land and people?” The spearhead seemed weary and tired, but he had such a big smile as his girl was also leaning her head on his chest like mine.

The presence of one’s lover was enough to bring joy to anyone, even if he was deadly tired like this fat dude here.

“We will clean this battlefield first and find news about the missing fifth beast,” I said to put things out in order, “then we will go to a single beast and kill it. If your forces still have not gained blessing from it, then let them first before killing.”

“Will we allow…” Sara paused, moving her eyes in silence towards the group of Hector generals standing here before adding, “other races to get such benefit?”

“Anyone serving me is serving the kingdom,” I had to clear such doubt before it would infest and expand larger and cause a mess, “in my kingdom, there is nothing like humans and other races. We are one nation, and we will rule over this entire apocalypse by this concept.”

My words were sudden to all, even to Brian and his gang, even to my friends. But none spoke to argue with me.

After all, I had to deal with such a new situation emerging from what I had achieved and gained so far. I controlled many races indeed, purchased much more from the Petal impact and the Toranks sovereigns.

So my kingdom was mutli-ethnic nation. And if I just focused over my humans and made them feel like they were the chosen and sacred race, my kingdom would never be united.

I wouldn’t go to the extent of expecting internal wars and chaos, massacres and such. But after my time, my descendants wouldn’t have a nice time controlling what I left for them.

Not to mention the number of all races combined to my humans was bigger. I recalled what happened before on the second Earth world.

There a massacre was going to happen between humans and other races, a massacre in which my humans would have been on the backfoot and suffered lots of losses.

Such a kingdom wasn’t going to thrive or enjoy prosperity. The best solution was to let everyone live in peace and under equal rules.

Whoever would perform good would be treated well. Whoever would excel would be rewarded. And whoever would bring trouble would be punished, no matter which race he belonged to.

Equality and justice… That was my answer to such a tricky situation my baby kingdom had.

“You can go down now and start looking for answers,” I sent them all away.

“Even I?” Hilary looked at me, holding herself around my neck with both arms.

“We… Aren’t done yet,” I gulped, controlling the heat that burnt down below before caressing her head and toying a little with her hair, “after we control this continent, let’s have a long vacation in another world.”

“Uhm,” she nodded, and I couldn’t let her off without a deep and long fiery kiss to quench a little of my thirst for her.

As I saw her leave, I could only sigh. I looked up at the sky while inwardly wondering: ‘Where are you, my Karoline?’

The fifth quest was drawing near, and with it the golden quests would be opened. It was the promised date for meeting that thing that controlled and brainwashed her.

The golden quests… Such a name I first heard from my old man. But during my time here, the golden quests held much more importance than just fulfilling an old man’s long wish.

The jumper had to meet and find his mate in it. And I had to find Karoline and rescue her.

Three tasks till now were held upon my shoulders and related to the upcoming golden quest. Three major and very tricky quests that I wouldn’t be able to lose one of them.
