I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

I knew such a method would be great, and would solve everything. But there was a catch. The castle had a huge role to play out there in the pocket world. And taking it back would ruin everything.

I was fighting here, but my forces were also fighting back on Earth. If I did such a thing, god only knew what the implications of such a thing would be.

So I had to keep myself from taking back my castle and hope that Silverlining would find me a good way to solve this problem.

I started to move around, using my technique to take all the Exomachines. As for my warriors, I took them out and asked them to kill these worms.

Killing these worms wouldn't just accelerate the speed of controlling this entire region, but it'd also help in another way.

"If I merge these worm bloodlines with my other warriors, then a good thing will come out of this, right?"

This was what I had in mind, and that simple thought made me pretty much excited about doing such a thing.

I worked for five hours straight while receiving constant feedback from Isac.

The first message she sent after five minutes was expressing how excited and shocked she was.

She wasn't the only one feeling like that. Per her words, all the other generals also felt the same.

The result of releasing their warriors over the worms came to shock them pretty much. Such scary and formidable creatures like the worms ended up in such a sorrowful state. That was quite an unbelievable twist in events for all of them.

I could understand what they were thinking about and feeling. These worms were just quite scary to be honest. And it was lucky for me and them to have the enemy plans backfiring at them like this.

If not for that, then a bloody fight would have erupted, one that we would lose too much in and get few in return.

[I got what you want] And just while I was absorbed in my task, Silverlining sent this message over.

[What did you get me this time?] I was genuinely curious to know what he prepared to solve this problem.

[It's a cube]

[Cube? Are you sure it can help?!!] I asked in doubt, while feeling more confusion about what he said.

[It's a storage artefact, one that can act like an inventory of its own. However…]

I knew there must be a catch for such a thing. [What? Don't tell me it consumes tons of energy!]

[Well, anything in the universe needs energy to properly operate, right?]

Well, I had to admit that he got a point there. And frankly speaking, such a thing didn't matter.

Even if I didn't get a single scrap of gear or bone from all the dead races thanks to the brutal nature of my last attack, I still got tons of bones left.

This attack wasn't like any other attack I released before. It was on a whole new level, not only killing the races, but turning their bodies into nothing.

So I couldn't find a single dead body, nor a gear that I could use. The gears vanished, as if they never existed in the first place.

[Ok, how much will it cost me?] I got over this point and focused more on closing up this deal.

[Well, the price isn't an issue here] he sent such weird words before explaining later on, [The sovereign who owns this artefact wants part of your loot]

Again! Damn! These Toranks are really greedy! Were they merchants in their past lives or what?

[How much did he ask for?]

[Fifty percent]

[No deal!] I didn't even take a single second to drop such an offer. It was too much to begin with. And if he sought out such a high opening price to bargain, he got to know I wasn't that desperate or clueless to begin with!

Starting with fifty percent? What? Did he want to get thirty or forty percent of my Exomachines like this? With just paying me a single artefact?

Even if such an artefact would solve this problem here for me, it wasn't enough at all to accept such a staggering offer from him. If such artefact would be used later on, then I'd consider giving him a good piece of the cake.

But this was like a one time usage artefact! I would never accept such an offer.

[He says you are out of options here] it seemed that dude was next to my dude.

[Tell him this, I got a perfect solution for my problem. Even if I had to suck these into somewhere else, where they might get scrapped in the end, then I'll do it instead of just giving others more than they deserve!]

It was my hard work, pal! And he just wanted to get such a high amount without even breaking a single bead of sweat!

[This…]

[I'm not bluffing!] I put a serious expression on my face, [Tell him this, either he'll accept my bones, or this deal is off]

[Give me a minute] I didn't want to call back my castle, not when there was a solution for such a problem already.

However if that solution would cost me too much, then screw it! I kept controlling the Ecomachines before finally that dude compiled.

[He agreed]

[Fine] I sent the agreed payment of my dark realm bones and in return got that artefact.

Silverlining wasn't lying, it was indeed a small cube. Its method to use was simple, as I should pour energy into it and it'd either suck in things in a certain radius that was related to my energy input, or release stored things from inside.

It'd take energy to keep it running and holding things inside. The good point here was that such an artefact didn't have any limit to the number of things stored inside.

It was like a portable inventory, and it worked on my energy instead of the energy of the world.
