I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Yes, worlds! Each page contained the name of a race who was imprisoned in one world. And our tasks were always the same; rescue that race and bring them back from their prison!

"What's going on?" seeing this made me wonder about the real goal of the system higher ups.

And before I'd read anything, the female voice came again:

[You got one day to read through everything and carefully select your missions]

[Each person will select one mission. And that selection can't be revoked or changed no matter what!]

[Please note: More than one person will select the same mission. And during the quest, it's up to those in that mission to decide if they wanted to work together or against each other]

[Please note: After making the selection, the list will be updated with the names of those selected each mission, their races, backgrounds, main traits, main achievements, and means of contact]

[Please note: Despite all of you going to different places, it's still a single competition here. The winner of this golden quest will be determined by the first one to execute his mission first]

[Please note: You can contact people working in other places if you want to]

[Please note: You have no allocated time limit to do your tasks. But the time passing in your real world will pass at a slower rate. The most time you'll stay here will be the end of your current main quests back home. So be aware of that. The rate of time passing is one to a hundred ratio]

[Good luck champs!]

I memorised all of these messages and felt more puzzled about that.

"If the higher ups wanted to save all of them, why would they use such a method then?" This was the first dilemma that popped up in my head.

If the system higher ups wanted to save these races, then instead of finishing off the competition once one did his task, it was better to use a ranking method instead.

The ones who finished earlier than others would end up in higher ranks and get more rewards.

This way, the system would end up saving all of these races in the end. And it wouldn't need any other contestants or golden quests.

Something seemed fishy here.

Either there was a high possibility for us to face great dangers, and these missions are impossible to complete from the start. Or the system had to pay a hefty price to allow all of us to take part in all of these missions at the same time.

So once one did his job, others would leave to save the energy and resources of the system and its higher ups.

If the former scenario was the right one, then it'd explain a lot of things.

For example, if we were going to compete against each other as this quest implied, why would the system's female person suggest the possibility of contacting each other?

And that wasn't just limited to one world! Which meant the dangers we would face were shared among many worlds as well.

So by contacting each other, we'd end up sharing up the pressure and helping one of us to succeed.

In brief, if that was the case here, then the system wanted us not to compete. In fact, it wanted us to cooperate and try to make someone succeed in their task.

What was the real goal of the system from all of this? The more I thought about it, the more I felt this golden quest thing was just a cover up for some grand scheme.

However I knew I lacked lots of information and secrets about such matters. And I didn't harbour much hope for learning such things easily nor fast.

I am currently weak! Even if I was a lord in my world, a hegemon in my apocalyptic trial, I couldn't compare to any of the big or even decently strong races in the entire universe.

One day I'd reach a stage where I'd learn all these secrets. One day I'd reach such a stage, I swore!

Then I shifted my attention towards the list itself.

I took a fast glance before and noticed it was talking about worlds and races entrapped into them.

However when I attentively read through it, I noticed many other things.

First next to each race was a ranking of danger, and most of the ranks were grave danger!

All of these list worlds were ranked like that except for three. And these three took my full attention the moment I ran through their content.

The first race was called the jumpers! Just reading that name made my eyes go all wide. When I read through their description, my heart became heavier.

"That's weird... Very weird! I know the jumper is a human being! And the one who gave him this ability came from the angels! But how come there is such a race in the universe?!!"

The race had the same ability as my jumper. And they were trapped inside a closed space world where they'd live for one hundred years before a great disaster would befall them and they'd die.

Then before their death they'd return back in time, relive through all this again while having their memories from before.

This was just the same as my jumper's ability! The only difference was that these folks kept jumping back for ninety-nine years each single time!

This number piqued my interest the moment I read it. It was the same as what the old man did to me back then. Yet he told me this ability was granted to him by someone, and that person was Hilary!

Was Hilary part of the jumper? Or did she get part of their ability by accident? I thought we both were considered time travellers or something.

But the similarity here was shocking and quite scary!

The much scarier thing was the fact that despite reliving through the past while holding onto their memories, they couldn't break free from their devastated fate no matter what!
