I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Were these higher ups this useless? Were the enemies this strong and authoritative? For a moment there, I felt like all I did was childish play in the eyes of the enemy.

They knew even if I managed to claim many gains in the past clashes, all this would vanish the moment they activated such a procedure!

They didn't only control the merge, they didn't just scatter my forces around, breaking apart my strong and formidable armies into shreds to hunt and kill them down, but they also aimed to get and kill all the races!

The twenty races I paid a hefty price for free, painstakingly suffered all this time to save all of these, and that ended up in a naught!

What a troublesome lacking in capabilities and abilities these higher ups were!

[We just did what we could. Accept it or not isn't our problem]

"Yes it is! You promised me a reward, and now you are asking me to start all over again to claim what I deserve? I'm asking for a refund and compensation!"

[Compensation for what?!]

"For all this! I'm going to risk it all again, go into the deep enemy lands, risk everything to rescue them again!"

[You already planned to go there in the first place. Why ask for compensation then? It's just little extra work]

"Little extra work? I swear if you are in front of me right now then the cold taste of my glaive will be the only thing you'll get as an answer! If you see it's a little work, then move your fat as* from your high throne and come down here to do it yourself!"

[Stop being rude and arrogant! Just do your job!]

pàпdá-ňᴏνêι.сóМ "I won't! I'm not obliged to save anyone anymore. Did you forget? The entire goal of this golden quest changed. I don't need to save anyone, I just need to kill everyone to win!"

[You…]

"Sorry dude, but the rules changed. And you were the ones who changed them! Don't blame me, after all you are the one who placed me in such a tight spot in the first place."

[What do you want?] After a long ten minutes of silence, which I was sure that dude spent cursing and smashing things over his side, he finally said the question I wanted to hear, finally succumbing to my desire.

"Any race accepting to follow me has to stick to me forever."

[No! That's not possible nor acceptable!]

"It's the least compensation I'll accept!"

[But that's unfair for others! What shall we give for the others thanks to their contribution in the golden quest? Stop being self concentrated and selfish and try to give others parts of your cake!]

"I won't! Come on! You are throwing me out to the wolves again, in the open world, without any means or advantage at all!"

[That doesn't give you the right to ask for everything! Let others also gain little as well! I can't accept or agree with such insanity!]

"It's not up to you, dude. You're Not the one fighting here for the sake of the universe."

[But I'm the one giving out the rules!]

"No! You don't even control anything here! Just look around you, look around and see what kind of mess you caused thanks to your inability to do anything at all! If you can, then change this damn situation for the better, move the races back to their lands and worlds, let them fight properly for their lives and future."

[This…]

"Of course you can't! You have zero control here. And so you have to force people like myself to go through hell over and over again to make up for your failures!"

[I didn't fail! I didn't do anything wrong! It's your job and responsibility to compete and fight, to get the rightful rewards!]

"And I already did! And I swear to god, if you didn't give me what I deserve, then forget about saving any race. It won't be the enemies who are going to kill them, but me!"

[You can't do any of this. You are just bluffing! You need every ounce of strength and help to survive this]

"I can use them for now, trick them to follow me, bind them with contracts, then kill them all later on. What's the difference? Even if I killed them right on the spot after meeting them, it won't make any difference in the general course of this damn war! I'm still going to end up the winner, even if I had to kill every single one other than my forces and people!"

[I dare you to try it!]

"Or what? What can you do, incompetent bastard?"

[I'll remove all the privileges you already have, leave your world open and available for any race out there in the grand universe to invade and kill. Can you fight the universe? Can you fight everyone?]

"Surely not alone, but I will respond by changing sides! I'll do everything in my power to let the fiends win, and you'll lose the entire place here forever! Tell me, damn arrogant bastard, what can you do about it? What will you do about it"

This time, his silence lasted for one hour. I knew he was going crazy about what I just said. Our last conversation was least described as an explosive argument, one that was closer to be a fight and quarrel, not a civilised talk at all.

But I would never let that son of b*tch get away from this without paying full price double! I was going to risk everything again thanks to his and other higher ups' failure and incompetence.

These damn bastards! They were sitting far away from all this, feeling nothing but amusement to watch all of us suffer for them.

They didn't even study the enemy well, not even studied the rules of this damn quest. They let the enemy do everything they wanted, and always were the second people to move.
