I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Next time, I’d make sure to not focus over the forces inside, but those at the outside first. Even if the enemies sent their cyclope-Exomachines mix, then my forces would get enough time to deal with this.

And… I truly missed my chariot at this point! The chariot would provide a safe shelter for me while travelling around, even in the middle of such deadly and scary shockwaves.

Even with the deadly shockwave being released like this, I never stopped my fallen gods from attacking everywhere.

They were hitting everything blindly, but their contribution was needed. The Exomachines were there, and they were the ones leading such an attack and causing the most damage.

The Exomachines already proved their abilities to stop my shockwave. In the past, they were able to stop such deadly waves and also my deadly fire at the cost of getting damaged.

But right now… and with all the energy they had from the cyclopes… I couldn’t tell if they were going to be damaged in the end or not.

So it was better to hunt them down, add more damage using my fallen gods.

“Only if I could see through all this blinding light…” I paused, while my thoughts drifted towards the market.

I couldn’t see anything right now. So I couldn’t open the market here.

“Time to get a break,” I knew the light out there would last for many days at least. So staying here was going to be pointless.

I just left enough shields behind, and jumped back to ground zero.

I didn’t intend on leaving that hot zone and jumping to another. I didn’t get done by the enemies there. But I came back to see if the market got anything useful.

“Let’s see… Sunglasses… Sun goggles… Sunblock… why the hell there is so much sun related stuff when we didn’t get any sun at all back at the apocalypse?”

It was weird though, seeing all these sun related items in the market. But that wasn’t the issue. The main issue was that none provided any vision through bright blinding light, only against shiny objects like looking directly at the sun.

I kept looking, and after looking through tens of thousands of pages, I finally found something interesting.

[Owl Eyes: Natural artefact. Found in an unknown place. It can allow the person to see through anything blinding or dark. It can also strengthen one’s sight]

I could recall a time when I thought getting a skill was something heaven defying. I even used to complain about it all the time! And yet when I came here, got the chance to see the world of the apocalypse in its true colours, I finally realised how insignificant my skills were.

They might be important at the early stages of the apocalypse, might be crucial for anyone at low levels, low positions, low life state, to make sure they’d survive the future.

But for me? Skill? Pft! I’d prefer to replace tons of skills for a single artefact! For a single weapon that could truly change an entire war!

I found out that the price of this artefact was one hundred billion coins. I didn’t get many coins on me right now, and so I placed one green grade, normal bone, in the auction.

I never tried to do that before, never even thought about it, for different reasons.

For example, I didn’t have much of the bones to begin with. There was a time when I struggled to get bones, and bones like green ones were considered one of the highest grades I ever got.

I also didn’t know what value or use these bones were. And frankly put, I felt how significantly important the bones were, and didn’t want to share any of such important items with my rivals.

But now? I didn’t care about any of that! Bone grades? I got not only purple and diamond grade bones, I got dark realm bones and Holy Ones bones. I got tons of bones, and could amass tons over tons if I just took a tour around the world and battles here.

“Let’s see what’s the standard system price for this… Holy crab! It’s settled by the price of a single artefact!!!”

Just one green bone was sold at the crazy price of one hundred billion coins. I looked up, at the sky, towards the imaginary place of the system higher ups, and smiled.

“So you want more bones? You could have asked directly for more.”

I didn’t get an answer, and that was quite expected. However I was glad such trade was possible and feasible.

I took ten green bones and sold them, getting coins like never before.

I then started to look at the artefact I just bought. It was like a pair of goggles, with owl feathers around the glasses.

I wore them, and next it felt like the world got under a calming tone of light. It was pale blue and green, seemingly something soothing to the soul and calming to the mind.

I didn’t hurry to judge it. After all, I got to see if these goggles could see through my blinding attack or not.

As I was here, it was time to look for a good and capable defensive shield.

The market started to sell artefacts, so it was time for me to look for good ones. I got the coins, and now it was time to find a temporary replacement for my chariot’s shield.

And I ended up getting a feather!

I wasn’t joking with you, I got a feather as my next defensive shield!

[Crown Feather: Naturally born artefact. Can form a shield around the owner, one that can expand to cover hundreds of miles, or shrink down to cover only the owner. It needs energy to perform its functions, and it has only one function: defence!]

“A feather for defence? Interesting!” I took the feather out after paying double the price of the previous goggles. It was a long feather, one that was at the size of my entire arm, my giant arm. And it wasn’t just pure white as I thought.

It got a mix of colours like a proper rainbow, with more reds and blues than anything else.

“I got a feather… But how the hell am I supposed to use it?” I looked at the market interface, the feather interface, and then at the feather in my hand.

The only idea I got was to put the feather on the goggles and wear the two together. One would help me see through any blinding light, and the second would help in protecting me while flying.

“I need a strong artefact to help me travel fast…” This was another thing why I missed my chariot. It could travel fast, too damn fast, like being a light shot and travelling through space.

I got a portable and strong shield, as it was an artefact, regardless of whatever naturally born or natural artefact even meant, and I got goggles to let me see through the shockwave.

All I needed now was something like a rocket, something to boost my flying speed, making me cross lots of distance in no time.

This world was so big, and the enemies seemed to adapt a tactic where they’d keep attacking and forcing me to use either my fire or my shields’ shockwaves.

In either case, I’d not be able to step forward anymore. So this all got to stop.

I looked into the artefact limited search menu only and found out there were ten pages of these artefacts.

Each page contained at least one hundred items there.

That… That was lots of artefacts to be honest.

“Wait a second… I always struggled and dreamt to get artefacts for my generals… and now? One artefact for one up to five green bones? Cool!”

It suddenly hit me. I always dreamt about my capable generals to get enough artefacts to help against dangerous situations.

I was the only one able to do all these miracles not thanks to my overly oppressive strength, but thanks to my artefacts and bones.

Artefacts were like energy bottomless holes. They got to suck dry lots of bones and wouldn’t get satisfied.

I didn’t hesitate anymore, and started a wide out purchase. These artefacts weren’t just offered to me, but to anyone and everyone in this new world.

And that meant one thing… Anyone could buy any artefact if they got the money. But if I got to clear all the artefact menu clean, then no one could get anything, right?

Without thinking about anything else, I started to purchase all the artefacts I found. I already got a lot of artefacts from the killed Hulk, and other dead or surrendered paragons.

I got a few to use, but got lots that I wasn’t that interested in.
