I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

“Hahaha, let’s go human king, let’s go to the place where you will never return from,” and just as that light engulfed me, all the voices vanished except for that despicable king.

I looked around while the world started to grow hazy. I stood there alone, without my chariot.

“So he will leave behind his castle,” I muttered to myself. If my ride was forced to be left behind then he would face the same fate.

Of course bringing up such a vast and well defended castle to such an arena would be cheating! Even if I got my warriors and chariot, I’d not stand a chance alone against it.

The world vanished and only the bronze world remained. I didn’t know how long I’d been here, but at some point the bronze light vanished all of sudden.

What appeared in front of my eyes was a big bronze platform rising high in the middle of what I could consider as space.

Dark blue world with sparkling stars here and there, it looked amazing especially for someone like me who never got to the real starry sky I read about in old records.

The platform I was standing on top was floating peacefully in the middle of a stardust stream, made out of silver fine specks of dust.

[Welcome the preparatory stage of the Bronzed Coin Legendary battling arena]

Just as I was lost watching the world around, I got this sudden message before more began to appear.

[This stage will last for two hours. During which you can do anything before the start of the battling stage]

[In this arena, you won’t be able to use any of your warriors or summon any living thing]

[To know more details about this stage, you can always check it through the battle arena interface at your profile]

[Good luck champion, and may the luck be on your side]

I looked up at these messages before I hurriedly opened my profile page. I selected the arena option, and there I found lots of info.

[Welcome to the all about the battling arena manual]

[The arena is a special world sealed inside the Bronzed Coin. You can access it under certain conditions known for the owner of the coin]

[The general rules of this arena is as follows:

-Each king will take charge of a limited area surrounded with walls and three defensive towers.

-There is a central castle where it will emit four armies per minute passing. Three will go towards the three routes connecting the castles together, and the fourth will be stationed inside the castle and only answer to the king’s orders.

-During the preparatory stage, each king can let himself scanned and the Bronzed coin will determine the highest value energy currency in each king’s possession. Once determined, the king can accept using it or issue an appeal to use another energy currency.

-The energy currency determined won’t change.

-Each king will have the choice to use his currency and buy things out of the arena’s market. Things like upgrading the defensive walls, adding more towers to the castle region, or adding towers at the three paths can be done. Also boosts can be bought for the spawned soldiers, and even upgrading them to much higher levels.

-Everything can be done during the preparatory phase using the currency of the king until either the king is satisfied or the currency runs out.

-The preparatory stage will last for two hours, then the battling stage will start.

-In the battling stage, each king will receive his castle and will start to do one task; kill the other king’s forces and dominate the king’s castle.

-Killing the opposite king won’t lead to any win. Only the forces following the king will get reduced to half. The level and stats of the spawned forces from now on will lose one tenth of their initial value.

-Each king has the freedom to move out, use any weapon or gear he has to help his forces to win the battles.

-The fight will be over by one king ruling over the castle of his opponent.

-The loser will die, and the winner will get half of the dead king’s inventory, plus the seal of kingship the king had]

I read these instructions more than once, and the more I read the more I knew this was going to be a very hard fight indeed.

As I guessed before, the currency used here would be the energy currency.

I had to let the coin assess my belongings and determine the highest value currency I had.

Should I depend on my bones? Or should I use my soul?

Of course I’d go for my bones. The problem was in that part related to the exchange rate.

If the price tag was high, then using just the highest bones I had wouldn’t be enough.

I closed the interface and went into silence for a few minutes.

This battle arena depended entirely over the preparatory phase. According to the description I read, I would get a castle and three paths connecting the castle to the other one.

So I got three paths to defend, and three paths to lead my forces to reach the other castle.

On paper, things seemed to be equal and fair. But I knew that wasn’t true.

Using the currency would make all the difference. And that was where the importance of this stage came.

I shouldn’t think like that. Thinking simply about buying out things wouldn’t work.

I should consider the overall map of that arena. Three paths, so the perfect and shortest one would be the middle path.

I didn’t know what kind of terrain the arena would have. Unlike that king, this was my first time here.

He would have an easier time knowing what to do. So instead of just filling out my part of the map with defences, it was better to think about laying traps here and there.

Also the idea of him going through any route without me knowing it was a nuisance. I shouldn’t stay back at the castle as well. Or else my forces would get smashed to pieces by that king.
