nWarriors was a term I was kind of familiar with. They were races who lost their worlds before the apocalypse, and failed to establish even a single kingdom or empire.

nSo they were doomed to be a failure, gathered and were presented as goods to be sold at the market.

nAccording to the old man's words he left behind in the beads, the true goal of that time rewinding of the angels was to make us fail in establishing any kingdom.

nThat was scary! Just failing to establish a single kingdom meant we would be doomed. This was the cruel and real face of the apocalypse. It wasn't about personal survival, but the entire human race.

nBut that was an issue for tomorrow to be concerned about. For now I had to check over the market and see what good warriors I could get from there.

n

"Wow!

" I waited for a few minutes before all the monster drops I had were sold.

"Seven million coins! That's real wealth, hahaha.

"

nI knew by this amount I could get as many stat points as I wanted to purchase the warriors. I also had the auction of the hybrid loot as well. This might bring me up to over ten millions coins.

nWith my current wealth, I could easily have three thousand and five hundred stat points. That looked like a big number, and it was. However compared to what I saw for the prices of warriors; they weren't enough.

n

"Damn! The cheapest warrior is sold by one hundred stat points! That's a steal!

"

nWarriors weren't of a single race. I once read a giant record about the classifications known to man about warrior origins. Each race varied in their stats and abilities, and even in their classes.

nThat was the good point about warriors, they got classes. And that wasn't all. Warriors wouldn't just vanish after this quest. They would turn into tokens in my inventory, allowing me to trade, sell, and summon them at any time I wished.

nIn addition to that, warriors were able to grow in power and levels. Unlike me, they would be able to get points from killing monsters and foes. That would allow them to level up in time, gaining points in their stats and becoming stronger.

nI looked at the long list of warriors in front of me while feeling at loss. There were a lot of bad choices, but there were also good ones.

n

"Damn! They even allow this to be on the list!

" I was shocked the moment I saw a familiar name. A Bulltor, one of those heaven defying races. Each one of them held great physical strength, fitting for them to be giants.

nAnd on top of that, they had great mana and could unleash deadly skills like wizards and magicians. They were considered an ace race, one that proved this apocalypse wasn't fair.

nIf it was, then such a mighty race wouldn't just lose the fight and be sold like slaves in the market.

n

"Five hundred stat points… That's a cheap price indeed,

" I muttered to myself but I couldn't decide if I should buy him or not.

nAfter all that would take almost one seventh of my current wealth. I still didn't know if the enemies of mine would prefer quantity over quality or what.

nSo I refrained from pressing that purchase point for now and decided to wait. Just as I did, I roughly took a rapid tour again at the long list of five hundred races listed in here.

n

"Bulltors are the best without doubt, and the highest in price as well,

" I knew I needed at least one of them to be able to better survive the upcoming quests. But this quest here held the priority.

nI needed to win here. I clicked over the Bulltor icon and read a short description of it.

nBulltor: a losing Bulltor race member with level 1 basic level up system and basic 1 stats. No weapons. No skills

n

"That…

" I felt my back soaked in cold sweat when I read this message. This Buttlor here was like a leftover from a brutal war, a broken sword with no blade to kill.

nWithout stats, weapons, and even skills, this giant buddy here would be useless.

n

"Wait… I can do something about that,

" as I didn't transfer my coins yet, so I decided to take another tour at the market.

nThe market features were opened for me now. So I could take a stroll inside without any limitations like before.

n

"Hmm… If I recall it correctly, then a sledgehammer or a big spear was the perfect weapon for a Bulltor,

" I started the search and all I could find were slightly costly gears.

n

"Sledgehammer costs two million coins, and a big spear one million… That's not a good thing indeed.

"

nI knew if I decided to go for that guy, then I would lose my chance to summon other races. Just the cost of buying him and a big spear would cost me two million coins at least. Should I do it?

n

"The skills can't be purchased,

" I knew that warriors got their skills imprinted inside their souls and genes just like the system. The only way to make them unlock more skills was by either raising their levels or stats.

nAnd coincidentally I had a way to do one of them.

n

"Ok, it's not a waste to have someone like him beside me,

" I finally decided to go for the best. I bought the sledgehammer with a pained heart. Yet a Bulltor using a sledgehammer was ten times stronger than one holding a spear.

n

"Staying with those stingy guys must have affected me,

" I hardened my heart and then turned the rest of the coins into stat points.

nBefore doing anything, I started adding points to all my stats. Now they all reached the highest level, hitting forty points each.

nI felt a gush of power running inside my body accompanied with a marvelous feeling. It was like I was getting liberated from the bonds that kept me human.

n

"This feeling… It's close to what I got before coming here,

" I thought to myself before taking out a piece of meat. This was one of the many meats I got from cooking the hybrid monster at the museum.

n*Munch* *Munch* *Munch*

nI started chewing and biting over this piece of rib with a thick layer of meat covering it. At first it felt ordinary in my mouth until I swallowed it. Then it was like a bomb, exploding in my stomach and releasing a gush of fire all over my abdomen.

n

"This feeling…

" I never had such a precious meal before. It wasn't because it wasn't available, but the cost for having such a meal would be considered luxurious to my eyes.

nThe heat spread from my belly to all my body. I could feel the boost this few bites gave me, the power surging within. The heat was nothing else but pure form of a high power. It worked in a magical way and I could feel my body getting strengthened.

n

"I can't eat anymore,

" after five bites I couldn't help but store away the piece of meat inside my inventory. My body was now brimming with power I never held before. I feared something wrong would happen, so I stopped.

n

"Ka ka ka… I can't believe my eyes… A human? A human is here trying to get the sacred class from me? That's hilarious, ka ka ka!

"

nJust as I did that, I heard this hostile voice coming from the other end of the arena. I narrowed my eyes while a pillar of golden light fell from the sky. The second participant was here.

nA muscular giant body that exceeded three meters in height. He had a mustache like two long and curved whisks. In addition to the faint golden scales covering his cheeks, and that big scale over each of his eyebrows, I could recognize which race he belonged to.

nA dragon! A dragon member was here for this class! What the hell was this class then to make such a mighty and greedy dragon to come here?

n

"Don't scare the kid,

" another voice came and this time it looked soft and sweet like a melody,

"he is considered good to be able to find his way here. Let me offer him a chance to be my bed slave, I won't mistreat you human boy.

"

nAnother pillar light descended. It was black in color and I saw a soft skin coming out from it. I never saw such smooth and perfect skin ever in my life. A girl in her early twenties appeared while wearing a gorgeous black dress with a long cut from her neck to the middle of her belly.

nHer long and slim legs appeared from the long cut down below. The dress was sparkling with small crystals, but it was nothing near the shining beauty of her.

nA goddess of beauty! She had a flawless face and slim and curvy body that would enchant any man no matter how strong his heart was.

nHer eyes were pitch black but I felt like I was drowning just by watching them. Her long and curved eyelashes added more to her stunning beauty.

n

"A succubus demoness… What luck!

" I muttered in a gratified tone when I recognized this stunning beauty in front of me. She wasn't a normal monster, she was one of those classified as the deadliest monsters in the apocalypse.

nEven facing a dragon would be easier than facing this sexy girl here.

n

"Oh, he knows me,

" she said in a delighted expression before tilting her body like she had no bone in her waist and winked,

"I like you boy. What do you think? Want to be my bed slave?

"

n

"Keep your hands off him,

" just before she could continue her words, a strong sound came like thunder while a pillar of silver light appeared.

n

"A Selvator…

" I didn't need to wait for the light to concede and instantly recognized this mighty and arrogant race. In fact Selvators were famous for their righteousness. They were fair, not like other treacherous races in the apocalypse.

nIf you met a Sevlator, he would offer you a fair duel with him. Either you win and kill him, or he will kill you. Of course that race had a very strong physique, giving them the nickname of the walking halpreds. Even without a weapon, a Selvator wouldn't be killed and would kill you.

nTheir pride in their strength was the root of their proclaimed fairness. I rarely heard of Selvators getting slaughtered in the hands of humans before. Even in the tales of the old man, only rare cases had this heaven defying result.

nJust as the light vanished, a glistering body of a two meter youth appeared. His eyes were like two pieces of silver gems, while his hair, eyebrows, and literally any place with hair there was made out of silver jade-like filaments.

nHe was glistering and sparkling like he was made out of crystals.

n

"Humph,

" the succubus seemed to be not happy and at this moment I saw a thin and short tail covered with fur moving upwards in displeasure.

"Thinking you are handsome, but compared to me you are not!

"

n

"Appearances don't matter here,

" the Selvator said in his thunderous tone.

n

"Yeah, strength matters,

" the dragon youth said while his eyes shone in brilliance.

n

"No, fairness and justice are the most important thing,

" the Salvator looked over at me in disgust,

"even if an ant is allowed here, we should all treat it as an equal.

"

n'Screw you!' I inwardly cursed without having the guts to actually say it in a loud tone.

nAt this moment I realized something; we were all enemies here!

nThey had to fight each other as they had to fight me. But compared to myself, each one of them would be considered a powerhouse in this apocalypse.

nA dragon, a succubus, and a Selvator...That was three out of five. One was missing. Would it be…?!!

nI felt a cold shiver deep down my heart when I thought about that race. 'No way! No f*cking way! If a member of that damned race appeared here then I'm done for!'

nAnd the next thing I did was to hurriedly open the market and search for a specific warrior race.. The moment I saw that race, my quaking heart relaxed and now all I had to do was to wait for that last contender to appear.

n
