I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

The dude that appeared in front of me right now was different. He was a giant, but it made other Hescos look mediocre in comparison.

This dude was at least ten metres in length, five in width, and he looked ferocious. The suit he wore was white in colour, but it gave off a scary presence, much more than the red suits of the generals I saw before.

I knew the basic colour of the suits of the Hescos was black, and the highest I met so far was purple. But this one was white, and for a reason it looked more dangerous than the other types of suits.

“Lord,” the moment he appeared, he knelt on the back of my chariot in respect. I sized him up and down before asking:

“Tell me, what abilities do you have? And what type of Hescos do you belong to?”

“Answering my lord, I belong to the flying Hescos. And I can use nothing right now. I need to consume ten thousand stat points at least to use the basic skills of mine. If the lord is generous and gives me one hundred thousand stat points, then I can use the ten skills of mine available to me at this stage, including two ultimate attacks.”

“Interesting,” my eyes shone brightly before turning to the sacred Matte. “What does a legendary Hescos mean?”

He recognised this Hescos on the spot, making me wonder what was different and special about him.

“L… Lord… How did you… How did you get such a scary dude? Where did it come from?”

“Just answer my questions, shall you?” I gave him a smile that wasn’t one.

We weren’t friends to begin with, and he didn’t get any respect from me. Besides, this was considered one of my most secretive things. I never told anyone about my abilities before, and would never do that.

“Ahem…” he cleared his throat, looked at that grand Hescos kneeling in front of me like a small hill and then turned to look at me before saying: “Legendary Hescos are the origin of our race. They were the ones who started our legendary tale in the universe.”

“But I never saw something like that before,” I casually pointed my glaive at the dude kneeling in front of me. Such a simple move gave Matte a fright, making him jump for more steps back.

“This… We didn’t have any of the legendary Hescos anymore. Or else we won’t call them legendary, right?”

“What do you mean?” the words he said didn’t explain anything. Instead, they added more vagueness and doubt to the entire matter.

“Well… Our genes got mixed with another race a long time ago. I’m not well aware of everything, but our legendary race has a problem or production from the start. We can’t increase our numbers as fast as other big races in the universe. So…”

pAn,da-n0v e1 I got what he meant. “The ancestors of yours selected a suitable race and bred with them?” I asked, and he nodded. Seeing his short necked suit tilt slightly to the front was a bit funny to be honest.

“We had to solve that problem, or else by time, other races would end up winning us in terms of numbers alone,” he sighed, before adding, “so we mated and bred with that foreign race, and gradually our genes got polluted by theirs. As they got the upper hand in production issues, they became most of our race, and their genes dominated ours.”

“They are considered your secondary ancestors then?”

“Lord can say so,” he paused, “but that race had nothing much special about them. They only can breed much faster and better than us, and they looked like us as legends tell.”

“I see…” I got what he meant by that. After tens of thousands of years or even more, their pure genes got mixed, diluted, polluted, and eventually vanished slightly from their bodies.

That explained why there was such a clear difference in physique between this dude kneeling in front of me and that scared Matte.

The two were Hescos, but they didn’t anything like each other.

It seemed that my class dealt with the pure genes of races, purifying any mixed genes like what happened here.

“Hahahaha!” out of the blue I laughed. If the leaders of the Hescos learnt about this, what would their reaction be?

Would they try to strike a deal with me? Would they envy me? Hahahaha! Just thinking about their shock made me laugh for a minute or so.

“Here, take these stat crystals and use them,” I said to that dude, “from now on, you are going to be called the Alpha, the leader of my Hescos squad.”

“Thanks lord for your generosity,” he simply touched the small pile of stat crystals I took out, and almost half of them vanished and turned into dust.

But that didn’t attract my attention. He took more than what he asked for, but then a glaring light came out from his suit, and few changes started.

First, the size of his suit changed. The suit started to slowly grow in size, as if it was a dried up sponge that came in contact with water.

The initial ten metres height Hescos turned in less than a minute into double such size. And the previously white suit started to show changes as well.

The whiteness started to glow, as if it was some sort of a lamp connected to a source of electricity and lit up. At the same time, the suit started to show symbols and lines, growing up through it like it was a seed that got in touch with water and nutrients.

I watched different coloured symbols appear, starting up faint then gradually they became darker in colour.

These symbols didn’t look like they were drawn over the suit, but they appeared as if someone used a knife and engraved them over there.

All the lines were silver and gold in colour, while the symbols ranged between green, red, orange, purple, and black.

The most symbols out there were green in colour.
