I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

And then something flashed from my inventory and vanished inside that swirlpool. Without the need to check, it was my golden quest ticket.

“It’s here,” I slowly said, “let’s go!”

No matter what awaited me there, I was ready to face it!

I had to admit, I always thought about the Hescos and their allied races in that golden quest.

I never expected old enemies to the angels to set their gazes on me and place much importance over my participation.

Were those old grudges that deep? I couldn’t tell. I still had the same belief that whoever did that to the old man’s race weren’t people from this universe, but people belonging to those mysterious forces.

Even if they used the people of the other universe to do such a thing, they’d still be the ones who instigated such a thing.

Losing all the races who were efficient in time and place powers wasn’t a simple coincidence. And the angels from Sith’s mouth were ones who were brilliant at both powers.

They were dangerous in the eyes of those mysterious folks, and I got to know soon enough why that was.

If they wanted to come, then be it. I wasn’t friends to begin with. Not to mention I already had a clash with them.

It seemed since that time, they started to deeply dig everything related to me. Even the Hescos couldn’t tell I got a world with time elements in it. But these people knew.

If the Hescos knew about the existence of such heaven defying abilities in my worlds, then I’d have suspected the interference of those people with them.

But they seemed to be quite cautious, not to stir any doubt inside me. If not for the timely warning of Sith, I would have never known about their presence and danger until it’d be too late.

When I gave it a little thought while waiting for that swirlpool to stop its expansion, I realised there was something fishy going on here.

Even Sith didn’t know about the content of the golden quests until it was too late. So how come such people knew about that?

From Sith’s words, they already were aware of such a possibility for a long time already. They prepared many plans, and none of them looked good to me it seemed.

I didn’t care about any of these plans. If I met a mountain, I’d blow it up, if I was stopped by a world, I’d simply control it all and become its sole lord.

​ And with such a mindset, I led my chariot into this portal.

However the next instant something blocked my path, preventing me from getting inside.

“What? Don’t tell me they even did something to the portal!” I frowned before I soon got my answer.

[Sorry! But you can’t bring more than twenty individuals with you!]

“What?!!!” I was shocked, turned around and counted my people on my chariot.

There were twenty people standing there, the same twenty chosen before.

“I got twenty in my chariot!” I said to myself, not expecting any response from the system. Yet I got a response.

[You have twenty-one individuals in your ride. Please remove one in a ten minute period and then try again!]

“Twenty-one… Don’t tell me…!!!”

All of sudden I realised what was going on here. In the middle of such chaos and stress, I totally forgot about someone; Hilary!

Since my last meeting with her and seeing her dual personality and I decided to lock her up. Since then I have lived on a hectic rollercoaster, jumping from the frying pan to the middle of the fire!

And now the system considered her as one of my fellows!

I never expected that!!!

Even when I thought about everything, I totally missed her. And now I had to make up my mind about her in less than ten minutes.

Either I should leave her behind and take the twenty I already selected, or I’d just go towards keeping her by my side and let someone leave this group.

“Sorry for that, but you can’t come with us!” Despite it being so unfair, I would never risk setting this time bomb loose in the middle of my kingdom!

Not when I was going to be away from here, not when there were many dangers lurking around my kingdom, not when the time was this critical and the future of my entire race, my kingdom, and even myself was hanged by a thread.

I couldn’t let such a volatile element free in the middle of all this. So even if it was a bit unfair, I couldn’t let her disembark my chariot and had to let someone else do it.

I selected one of the generals Lily selected randomly. She selected eleven generals, and they were considered the top of my generals.

Each and every single one of them was selected based on a strict criterion Lily placed before. She took my words into consideration in the letter, selecting all veteran generals out of my list of generals.

And when I suddenly said that, that dude seemed confused.

“I leave the safety and future of my kingdom in your hands,” to make up for him, I moved and patted on his shoulders, giving him such warm and heavy words.

“I… I…” he stuttered, and I couldn’t help but add:

“Sorry about that, but there is already one more person here. You are a good one, and so you’re going to lead my forces here as a commanding general during my absence.”

I knew that Lily selected a group of capable generals to act as a leading council to my forces here.

So on the spot, I appointed him as the leading general of that entire council, and frankly speaking, to my forces as well.

It was a great honour, and tremendous responsibility as well.

“Joshua, you can do it,” Lily didn’t know what happened, but she showed support for my decision at such a time.
