I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

[Apocalypse world access ticket: one time use ticket, allowing the user to initiate a one way directional passage to one of the worlds in the apocalypse trial. Using it will allow the user to open a permanent gate. Once opened, anyone can enter, not limited to the user or his forces only. To be used, the user has to pay corresponding price of one hundred million stat points or any source of energy equal to that]

I looked at this description and felt a little happy and frustrated. The fact that these gates were permanent would save me lots of time for sure.

But at the same time, they weren't just exclusive to me and my forces. It was great that I selected the entry point to be in my capital. The capital was the heaviest place defended in my entire kingdom.

For any army to invade their way here to reach these portals was indeed impossible. The only possible scenario for this to happen was for me to die and my kingdom endless forces to get destroyed.

This was indeed impossible.

Another fact that made me a little frustrated was the high price needed for it to get activated. However when I gave it a little thought, I knew it was something expected.

The portals needed to link between two worlds were indeed costly. The amount of energy needed was astronomical. But I never knew about such conditions before.

It was lucky that I already asked Silverlining recently for a huge amount of stat points and energy crystals. Taking a fast peek at my inventory, I knew I got more than enough to activate these portals.

Seeing these stats reminded me of something. I never got the chance to level up my warriors and give them the stats they wanted.

"I got time for that," I muttered while looking at the grand armies in front of me. "Wait for me here," I didn't explain as I took flight towards a direction, selected an empty zone outside the capital, and started dropping huge amounts of stat points.

Then I summoned millions of my warriors and gave them an order to simply consume the stat points for their level up.

My warriors were strong and elite, but they lacked enough stat points to show up their real strength. I got enough to cover up the needs of a great portion of my warriors.

According to Silverlining, he was going to send me other batches of stat points and energy crystals in the upcoming few days.

I watched the tens of millions of warriors I summoned taking their share of the heaps of stat points and crystals I left on the ground.

"Once done, come and join us over there," I pointed towards the direction where I was going to start the portals to other worlds while summoning more warriors.

When I left, I took out almost one hundred million warriors to feed on stat points and crystals. Then I took my leave towards my waiting armies.

This didn't take longer than five minutes. Once I appeared again in front of everyone, I could see the shock over their faces.

The place I selected to summon my warriors wasn't that far from theirs. So it was easy for them to notice the presence of my warriors. And the numbers I called for seemed to leave a great shock in their souls.

"These are nothing," I understood why they were feeling like this, "just get ready. Once you are inside, you'll get to be part of these warriors."

I wasn't lying. And what they saw was just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, I could send one hundred million warriors to each group if I wanted to. But I just needed to make sure they got filled with stat points.

I held the ticket in my hand before taking out enough energy crystals on the ground. I chose to use the energy crystals and not stat points in activating these tickets.

After all, I needed stat points to make my warriors stronger. And I didn't want to wait for Silverlining to send what we agreed upon. I'd make use of all the stat points to level up as many warriors as I could, then I'd send them all towards the hot worlds.

I looked at the ticket in my hand. It was a dark blue crystal, one that I didn't know how to use. It was the size of my closed fist, seemingly quite heavy for such a small object.

I looked at it and could see white lines of thunder like arcs dancing in the heart of this crystal. As I held it in my hand without knowing what I should do with it, I felt it getting a little hot when I moved it over the amount of energy crystals I just took.

Taking out energy crystals enough to one hundred million stat points in value meant a small hill of different sizes and coloured crystals.

As it showed reaction to the heaps of energy crystals, I didn't hesitate to do two things. First, I dropped a single blood drop over it. And as expected, my blood got absorbed by the crystal.

Everything in this universe got bound using blood. So it wasn't hard to guess this. Then I let the crystal drop over the hill of energy crystals and watched it disappear in the middle of them.

The weight of this ticket crystal was much heavier than the energy crystals. But that wasn't the main reason behind it falling deep in the middle of these energy crystals.

I felt like the ticket absorbed the energy crystals close to it, turning them all into dust. I watched closely while the route which the ticket crystal took turned into a narrow empty tunnel, then this tunnel kept enlarging without stopping.

Without doubt the ticket was absorbing all the energy inside these energy crystals, turning them into dust. In half an hour, the entire batch of energy crystals I left here turned into dust.
