Chapter 51 - The Weakness

The jumper looked at me in a weird way. Without the need to see his full face, I could simply tell he felt disgust towards my request.

"Are you asking me for that trash? What? Are you going to be a clown for those gods? Entertain them in the middle of their sex?"

His words were harsh, but I didn't care about that tone filled with ridicule. Instead I noticed something else. "So you have one?" I eagerly asked.

"Sure, it's not a big deal," he shrugged, "you can have it from going to the special quests after quest five. Why do you make a big fuss over such nonsense?"

Was it common? I didn't know that. According to the old man's words from before, this reel was something important, far more important than anything else.

"I want one," I hurriedly said, "I can exchange it with anything you want. Coins, gears, even stat beads and orbs… anything you say I'll give in exchange."

"Humph, I want nothing I have a tone of," his words extinguished my excitement but I didn't show it on my face.

"Then what do you want in return?"

"Let me see… How about following me and calling me boss?"

This bastard! "Don't go overboard!" I roared in warning but he was so shameless to shrug and say:

"I'm not the one wanting this reel this badly, right? Either you follow me or you forget about this thing. Why rush things though? You'll get many of these useless reels later on."

I wanted to punch him in the face at this moment but hardly restrained myself. This shameless jumper was taking advantage of me.

Ok, don't regret it then. You started this and brought this upon yourself.

"I can exchange for anything else, anything you want," I tried to reason with him. At this moment he held my neck with icy fingers.

"I said what I wanted plus… You don't have anything that I really want. The thing I want most isn't possibly in your possession."

The thing he wanted most? These words kept ranging in my head for a long minute while I frowned. Something deep down my mind started to resonate with his words.

What was the thing he wanted the most? Do I really know it?

I had this feeling, like I knew what he was looking for. The more I thought about it, the more I felt confident about it. Yeah, I knew what this arrogant jumper wanted, but I couldn't recall it at the moment.

I didn't give up. I started to recall the long time discussion with the old man about him. He once narrated his story and from that story I got the inspiration to come here.

I recalled the way he got the class, how he ended up dead in the end. But through all this I didn't find what I was looking for.

"Something isn't right," I muttered and the jumper acted as if he didn't hear me. I was speaking to myself here. There was definitely something wrong in this story.

Wait… Just as I thought about it, I recalled another thing. This wasn't the only time the old man spoke about him to me. In another time he narrated the strongest existences in the apocalypse, those who defied heaven and even gods.

Reincarnation was one of them, time travelers were also there. And jumpers! I squeezed my brain and tried my best to recall what he said about them until my eyes suddenly popped wide open.

I recalled! I knew what this dude here wanted the most!

According to the old man, reincarnation was born like this. Time travelers got a blessing from one of the supreme gods of time to be able to travel for a few minutes, days, and even months backwards. As for jumpers…

They got their heaven defying ability from someone else. The old man took the jumper in front of me as an example back then. He spoke lightly about that, and it happened way after he told me about this lad's adventure here.

"I know what you are looking for," I said in a firm tone. The look I had from the jumper was filled with ridicule. But I wasn't bluffing. This time I was sure of having him in my grasp.

You tried to screw with me before bud, and I was going to f*ck you now!

"Stop spouting nonsense…"

I didn't even wait for him to continue his words as I instantly said, interrupting him:

"You are looking for someone, someone who doesn't belong to this world. He came from another world, gave you your power and died in your arms…"

I could see his eyes widened but I didn't stop speaking.

"You lied to me. The highest quest you experienced was fifteen, right? There you accidentally stumbled upon him. Despite dying, he gave you this unique power of jumping through dimensions. You are traveling not to avenge him, but save him. Yet all your efforts went in vain."

"You…" this time his voice came a bit softer than usual and more shaky, "how can you know all this? Who the hell are you?!!"

I could even see his body trembling faintly. This jumper, the mighty person with such high cultivation was shaken by my words. And he had to feel like that.

"I know because I simply came from the future," I shrugged, "and as I came from there I can firmly tell you this… You'll fail!"

It was a small lie, a white lie to make him fall into my trap. There was no way for him to tell the difference or make an ascertain of my words.

"Impudence!" he roared like a wounded beast and even went fast towards me. His hand rose high in the air and wanted to slap my face.

Yet I calmly stood there unflinched with his demeanor. He was strong, but anyone had a weakness. Even the mightiest gods had their weaknesses.

And bud, I got your weakness under my fingertips. I would enjoy pressing hard on it until you yield.

"I'm telling the truth," I slowly said in my normal calm tone, "you couldn't rescue him, ended up traveling across a thousand worlds before you finally broke out. Tell me, isn't a thousand times your limit?"

His hand froze already even before I spoke. From one aspect of things, he was still shocked about me knowing all this. And from another aspect this was the first time for him to hear something about his future.

"You are lying," he retracted his hand but his eyes still showed his anger, "I even consulted a great oracle before. I would definitely rescue him in between a hundred and two hundred attempts."

"No, you won't," I calmly shook my head before adding, "you don't have the power to resist the collapse of a dying world yourself. But with me, you can."

"A dying world?" his face twitched under his scarf, "do you know the world he came from?"

I slowly nodded but said no more.

At this moment things became clear to him. I had something he wanted. Not to help him rescue that man, but the info about the origin of that man himself.

He tried, I knew he tried his best according to the old man's words, to save that man. But his only shortcoming came from one simple info that he didn't know.

What was the origin of that man? That made him crazy. The more he tried to search for the world that man came from, the more loss he felt.

Even the great oracle he spoke about couldn't help. After all, I knew many things and a lot of secrets about oracles. They had limited powers and they were confined to the world they lived in.

No matter how strong and unique that oracle was, she couldn't see beyond the veils of our world.

I calmly waited while he finally sighed. He took out a golden reel and extended it to me. "This is the thing you want. In return I want to know the answer to my question."

"No thanks, I don't want it now."

"What the hell are you talking about?" he burst out in anger as he screamed in a very domineering way. I had to admit, standing this close to him made my heart quiver out of fear.

He was so strong, much stronger than me at this point. But I would never sell such valuable info for such a cheap price.

"As you said earlier," I shrugged and said in a casual tone as if I didn't really want this reel anymore, "I can get it from later quests. So why rush things now?"

"Don't play games with me… Do you want to die?"

"Kill me then," I calmly spread out my arms as if I was really readying myself to die, "but with it my answer would be gone forever."

"..."

I watched his face twitching more violently alongside his body. He was now feeling more enraged and much helpless than ever.

Even seeing you in such a sad state wouldn't make me change my mind. Bud, you were the first to try and take advantage of me. Don't blame me for this, blame yourself first.

"I know you want something extra for this, fine. Tell me what you want and I'll comply."

He finally yielded. Great! Now it was time for me to reap my rewards.

"You'll follow me from now on, and call me boss," I returned his words back to him. I could see his face getting redder for a second there before he controlled himself in an envying manner.

"Good, I agree," he simply threw his weapon down this easily, "let's sign a contract for this."

Something seems fishy here. I couldn't help but feel bad omen rising inside my heart. This jumper was so arrogant and his freedom was everything he had.

How could he agree to my condition in such a simple way? No way! Don't tell me he had something up his sleeve, like that Selvator kid!

"Ok, hold on a second," just as he agreed I hurriedly opened my market interface. The auctions of my items were about to finish in less than five minutes. As for the auction of my desired item, it still was raging on wildly with a price exceeding forty-five million coins.

C'mon, don't raise the price any higher than this! It was already double the price I had in mind initially.

However I wasn't there for these auctions. Instead I opened the search bar and looked for something unique.

[Earth grade contract: can bind anyone even with the power to negate any limitations and chains on the soul. Can be used only on beings living inside your world. Initial price: ten million coins. Current auction price: fifteen million coins. Buyout price: twenty-two million coins]

"Buyout price now!" I said without hesitation and my words slightly startled the jumper next to me.

It was a real pricey contract, but it had its own uses and benefits. This was worth each penny paid in it. After all this contract would last forever between the two of us.

Once I took the contract out, it exuded a faint green golden color. The moment the jumper saw it in my hands, it looked like a cat got its tail stomped upon by someone.

"What the hell is that?" he pointed at the contract in my hand while I started filling out the conditions.

"Time of contract… Hmm… forever… Conditions… hmm… Serving me with utmost loyalty and absolute obedience…"

I neglected his scream and even spoke loudly about the conditions I was writing there.

"Stop it! This isn't fair! We didn't agree on this!!" he screamed in panic yet I never stopped my hand or my lips.

"Benefits for me… Hmm… He will work for my orders, all his inventory items are mine, whatever he gains in the future will also be mine…"

"F*ck you! This isn't a contract! This literally selling myself to you!!" he roared but I finally completed the contract while checking on the remaining items. I raised it in the air with a satisfying smile over my face.

"It's ready, here is my signature," I hurt my hand with the tip of my sword and let a drop of blood fall over the contract. "Now it's your turn."

"No way! I won't do it!" he blurted it out but I simply shrugged.

"If you don't want it then fine, but don't expect to save that friend of yours ever in your life. You'll lose him, no, you'll fail his trust and let him die out there without even helping him.. Tsk, what a cold hearted man you are, what a loser you are. Letting your benefactor die like this, just for a simple contract… I'm really disappointed in you!"

Chapter 52 - [Bonus Chapter] A New Celebrity Is Born In The Apocalypse

"Don't be this shameless!" he roared but I could already tell, he wouldn't say no. or he couldn't.

"Either this or you go on your own way now," I shrugged.

"Humph, as if you can hold a jumper like me with that contract of yours."

His tone looked slightly arrogant but that wasn't the point. I hurriedly took out the contract again and added a condition while speaking out loud:

"The jumper can't jump except after quest hundred."

"What the f*ck… the quests will go on for a hundred?!!"

I could see the corner of his eyes twitching and that looked, strangely, funny.

"It goes way beyond that," I extended my contract to him, "sign or not?"

"This isn't a game!"

"Sign or not?"

Under my watchful gazes, he held the contract and reread it. I knew he was just buying time to find a loophole here or there. But according to my vast knowledge, he wouldn't find anything.

"Taking all my inventory and items… That's not right," he returned the contract again while adding in defiance, "I can give you five percent as maximum."

"All or none," I shrugged, "your inventory is useless to you anyway. Why care about the items you carry around? I bet you only care about those useless high grade weapons of yours. Rest assured, I won't covet them."

For now! I added this sentence in my mind. Of course to crush the incoming challenge I didn't need to use his precious gears. But who knew? Time might come when I'd want to use his things.

Why risk things then and I held him by the throat?

After a few minutes of arguing, we finally settled on fifty-fifty of any upcoming loot. As for the inventory, I didn't budge an inch towards it. And I kept myself the right to select my percent of the loot first.

Who knew what this jumper was able to do. He was, after all, one of those heaven defying existences in the entire apocalypse.

"Here," after we signed the contract, he gave me the reel that started everything. At this moment the visible part of his face told me how regretful he was.

I came asking for this in peace, and now I took it for free and on top of it I got him as a bonus.

"Now tell me what I wanted to hear," he said in a roaring noise while keeping the reel off my hands like he was playing with me. "I'll give it to you once the contract affirms the truth of your words."

"Tsk, no trust between us at all, tsk."

"Who can trust a treacherous person like you? Huh?"

I could only smile in slight embarrassment. I slightly went overboard this time but the gains were really worth it.

"Your friend isn't from this world," I slowly said before adding, "he is from the angel world."

"Angel?" I could see his shock obviously even with his scarf, "those angels?"

He pointed at the sky as a referral to the angels supervising over us.

"No, those are fallen angels, not the real ones," I shook my head before adding, "I don't know all the specifics. However I know this: their world is in turmoil right now. They are going to lose it and your friend might have died on his way to run from that fate."

"If so…" he went into silence, "then it's best to wait for him at the place we met before."

"I'm afraid that won't do," I shook my head before adding in seriousness, "you took away his ability to jump. He can't escape from the present calamity. If my thoughts are right, he would die before he could reach here."

"This…"

"Don't be this unsettled," I moved up and took the reel from his hands, "I was planning to go and rescue them myself. And with you by my side, the odds are higher for sure."

"You… save them?" He said it like he didn't believe me.

"Just believe me on this one," I patted him on the shoulder and felt his immense strength at once, "if you don't, then ask yourself this… How come I know about them and you don't?"

I left my words back to meddle with him. After all, I said them with sincerity and honesty. I didn't lie, and now I had to totally focus on the mission on hand.

[Celebrity endorsement agreement reel: dark gold grade item. Only for one use. Allows the owner to establish himself as a celebrity. A brand with the name you select will be initiated. All the rights will be maintained for your benefit]

Well, the description surely fell short at the true power of this reel. It was like a small horn made entirely out of pure gold. "Dark gold grade… That should be one of the highest reels of this caliber," I muttered while realizing that this jumper really gave me something good this time.

"Let's use it then," without any hesitation I placed a drop of blood over it. The next moment the reel shone brighter in gold light, like it was turning into a little star.

"Tsk," I could hear the displeased reaction from the jumper next to me. That fool, he was like most of us when humans got this reel.

It really had a weird usage plus a short description. Even when some asked the angels about this, the angels didn't give any further explanation.

However, according to the old man… If I did things right… Then this would turn into a heaven blessing instead.

The shining reel didn't last more than ten seconds before it broke free from my hands. It flew around me for thrice before it went directly inside my body and vanished.

A faint layer of golden color appeared over my skin for one moment before it vanished and things returned all normal again.

[Congratulations! You created your own brand! You are now a celebrity]

[You have to select a name for your brand]

[Celebrity exclusive market is now opened for you]

I didn't think much about a name. After all, why select another name than mine? "Hye," I said out loud.

[Brand named 'Hye' is now initiated]

[You can start operating your brand from the brand special administrative interface]

I hurriedly opened the interface. Back when the old man said all those things inside his left message in the beads, he described the interface and the market.

If he was wrong… well, at least I got that arrogant jumper to stick by my side. But if he was right, then I was at a life changing moment here, even far more important than having the jumper!

[Brand interface:

Name: Hye

Grade: Dark gold

Level: zero

Subsidiary channel: None

Brand privilege: None

Brand store: Empty

Special achievement: Zero]

Well, the old man was right! I hurriedly closed this interface for now and hurriedly opened the market brand interface.

There I found fewer items being sold, mostly lying in white and copper grades. I moved my eyes around and found what I was looking for. Without hesitation I bought them for ten million coins.

[Brand subsidiary channel right: copper grade item. Allows a celebrity to create a channel attached under his name. Cost: one million coins]

[Universal broadcast: copper grade. Allows a celebrity to make a universal announcement. Number of announcements available to use: three times. Cost: two million coins]

[Channel expansion reel: silver grade item. Allows the celebrity with a channel to expand the number of his subscribers to over five thousand participants. Price: five million coins]

These were three of the most basic items I needed, plus another one.

[Channel privacy rights: white grade. Allows the celebrity to make his channel private over the eyes of anyone else who isn't subscribed to the channel. Cost: two million coins]

Without the last item, everything would be useless. I held the items in my hand while feeling my heart trembling a little.

This… this wasn't a step of making me a clown like that simple minded jumper thought. This was the real step for me to become a hegemon in this new world!

Watch me motherf*ckers! I would rise, rise all the way up, even higher than those who established kingdoms and become a mighty being even gods themselves fear!

"Are you done, clown?" the slightly annoyed voice of the jumper came but I didn't answer him. I still lacked something but couldn't find it yet.

The market didn't have it. When I searched for it, only one message came to my sight.

[Only limited to those with channels]

That was expected. Alright, time to create my own channel.

[Congratulations! You created your first subsidiary channel]

[Please select a name for the channel]

I paused at this time. Selecting a name for the channel was far more important than the name of my brand. Of course the name should be alluring, attracting attention to my channel. But which name should I choose?

Heaven defying? Anti-gods? I thought and the more I thought, the more helpless I became!

"What are you muddling about?" The jumper seemed to even notice my puzzlement. He came in front of me and could clearly see my face.

"I want a big name, a name that would attract many," I slowly said and I could see him rolling up his eyes.

"Alright, didn't know this thing was this meaningful to you. What about breaking fate? Or perhaps fate breaker is better."

"Fate breaker… nice name," I didn't find it bad so I said it out loud: "Fate Breaker"

[Fate Breaker channel has been created. Please add a description to your channel for others to see]

I didn't think much this time. I knew I could change the description later on but not the name of the channel itself.

"A human is leading a group of highly talented people, including a jumper and a succubus to defy fate. Come and watch us break the fate of our world."

I casually said what I had in mind, but the eyes of the jumper in front of me slightly changed. "What?" I couldn't help but ask while using the other items I bought.

"You have a succube following you? Where is she?" he turned around like he was doubting his eyes.

"She isn't here yet," I simply said, "she will be here later when the worlds merge."

"How come…" he wanted to ask but saw me working with my items so he stopped. Finally little peace here.

[Your 'Fate Breaker' channel is now private. Only your subscribers will be able to view it]

[You channel is expanded. Now the channel can hold up to five thousand subscribers]

I kept the universal broadcast for now and opened the market again. This time the amount of items being sold increased by visible rate.

At first there were only three lists of items. Now there were over ten!

"Oh, this one is useful," I found a nice item there and instantly bought it. "Give me twenty million coins now, no… make them fifty."

I extended my hand without moving my eyes away from the interface.

"Who do you think I am? Your bank or something?" the jumper complained yet he extended his hand and touched mine. The coins were transferred and now I could purchase what I needed.

[Channel promo reel: silver grade. You can record up to five videos of your performance, including yourself advertising for the channel. The promos will be spread all over the universe for anyone interested to see. Cost: five million coins]

[Channel special commenting feature: white grade. It allows your subscribers to comment on your current performance. The messages can be displayed for you to read and interact with your viewers. Cost: one million coins]

[Channel special liking feature: white grade. It allows your subscribers to like your current performance. The like messages can be displayed for you to read and interact with your viewers. Cost: one million coins]

[Channel special share feature: white grade. It allows your subscribers to share your current channel. The sharing messages can be displayed for you to read and interact with your viewers. Cost: one million coins]

[Channel special segmenting feature: white grade. Allows you to separate your past performances into separate videos for anyone wanting to come later and check them. Cost: One million coins]

[Channel special donation feature: white grade. Allows your subscribers to give you coins and even items in exchange for their support for your channel and your current and past performances. Cost: five million coins]

[Channel special sponsorship feature: White grade. Allows your subscribers to become your channel sponsors. Sponsor names will be available at your channel feed when anyone sees them. Also it allows them to write a few words to advertise for their own benefits. Cost: Ten million coins]

I looked up at all these features and felt more confident. I determined the current value of the sponsorship to become ten million coins per week. That might seem a lot, but in fact that was quite cheap.

Later on I'd rather raise it and make its duration per day!

"Now only one thing remained," I searched finally for my most important item before finding it.

Chapter 53 - Starting The Channel

This item was by far the most important one in my entire channel! It was the one that allowed me to add people under the umbrella of my channel.

Without it, I would be only one man playing around. My channel wouldn't deserve watching, not to mention subscribing.

Well, that was my main aim from the start. Collecting talented humans and forming a cohesive group with them. This way when this moment came, I had a clear advantage over others.

After all I wouldn't be the only one treading on this path, the path of hegemony.

[Chanel specific recruitment reel: silver grade. Allows the owner of a channel to recruit up to ten people. The invitations sent can't be repaid once rejected. Price: five million coins]

I read the simple description as I bought two of them. I already had my team, including the succubus.

But having recruits in the channel didn't stop at just making the channel more eye-catchy and alluring to the audience.

By becoming part of the channel, the channel would instantly create separate videos allocated to the members if they were apart.

What did that mean? I could easily monitor their achievements and performances, and interfere if things went south without the need to speak with them.

As I had a contract already with Angelica. So I opened my profile and found a small icon of contact there. Her name, plus the name of jumper, were situated alongside Rachel.

[I'll send an invitation for your side. Make sure everyone accepts it] I sent it to Angelica before sending another message to notify Rachel.

Although she wasn't practically in my world yet, she was fighting in a world merging with us under the same circumstances. As we cleared quest one and were waiting for quest two, she also must have been in the same situation.

To use this reel was very simple. I recalled the names of the people in my team and wrote them inside the reels. Also I specified their current location; New York-Central park.

[Send me the names of your team members] I realized that I knew no one in Angelica's team. In the next minute I received the list of names. This girl was so meticulous to send me the full names of them.

[Congratulations! Angelica human race has accepted your invitation]

[Congratulations! Rachel succubus race has accepted your invitation]

[Congratulations!...]

Long rows of messages kept coming and that meant I finished establishing everything for now. Of course I wouldn't be able to log in and watch their performances until I started the channel.

But it wasn't time yet.

[Ding! The items in the auction have been sold. The coins are in your balance]

I got another message and hurriedly checked. I now had slightly over seventy million coins.

"Time to get that item then," I opened the auction interface and found the item had less than five minutes to be sold. The current price was fifty-five million coins. What an extravagant price.

"A bunch of rich kids playing with the auction like it was a game! Humph! Let's see how they'll feel bitter now."

Without any hesitation I chose to pay the buyout price of the item. Sixty-five million coins were deducted and instantly I felt poor again.

Incredible, the TV Box Everyone Is Talking About: Access All Channels?Smart TV

"This…" the jumper couldn't ignore the item I took out from my inventory. This was something amazing indeed.

"By the way," I turned to him before adding, "what's your name?"

I tried to check his name on the contract we had before; only jumpers! How could someone have the name of his ability? Something looked fishy here.

"It's a jumper," he shrugged, "you can call me that."

"I know, that's the name you used in the contract. But how come you have such a name?"

"Do you think you are the only one who established his brand? Jumper is the name of my brand, equivalent to my real name and acknowledged by the system."

"What the hell…?!!" I was taken aback when I heard this. "Weren't you the one who said I was a clown for doing this? Are you a clown as well?"

"Do you want to die?" he shouted in rage and gave me his typical answer before scoffing and adding in arrogance, "I just created a brand name for myself. It's way different than being a clown like in your case! I still can't believe you! Why would someone like yourself do such a thing?"

I was already holding the item I paid so much for in my hand while walking towards the big statue. Carefully I placed the item just below the big belly of the horse, directly in the center of everything I created so far.

*Woosh!* *Woosh!* *Woosh!*

Just before I even turned or said anything, three angels appeared with sinister smiles on their faces.

It was time for them to show up! They took their time and got delayed for almost ten minutes. I couldn't complain, after all I needed that little extra time for my preparations.

As for their delay, I knew the core reason for this. It was all on my shoulders. I made them pay a hefty price for blessing points, not only once but twice actually.

The second time might have come from other angels, not just them. So they were low at the blessing points. Not only them, almost every angel in the perimeter of New York city was having the same issue.

So they must have gone overboard in an attempt to stop me.

"Well well well… I can't believe you actually threw yourself like a pig in a frying pan like this," the central angel said in a cheerful tone before he lightly laughed. "I can't wait to see the look on your face before dying."

"You…" the jumper instantly got riled up and he even took out a large halberd and a long spear. I looked at him and couldn't help but smile.

An enemy of my enemy was my friend after all.

"I won't give you that satisfaction, I can promise you that," I said in a light tone in response while leisurely walking towards the jumper. I stood by his side and issued a look towards him; it wasn't time for battle yet.

"Yeah, I can see that," the central angel burst out in a loud laughter this time, "what will you fight us with? Few sticks? A white grade item? Or wait… You are going to fight with that channel of yours? Hahaha, a human, a pathetic human turning himself into a clown, hahaha."

"Told you it was a bad idea," the jumper gritted his teeth. Unlike what he showed to me earlier, the moment the three angels appeared he couldn't control himself.

He wasn't that cool headed after all. He needed to learn to be calm in front of disaster. He should learn from me, learn from the master.

"Are you sure of your win this time?" I showed a faint smile over my face while folding my arms in front of my chest. I acted arrogant and confident, and I wasn't bluffing.

"Let me tell you this, we all paid for your death!" the central angel ruthlessly said before adding, "not only the three of us, not only those angels in the city… everyone in this continent paid a hefty price to see your head rolling. Two waves of our interstellar cannon attack plus three gigantic monster herds. Tell me, are you terrified now? Do you want to go and cry to your mammy, little human?"

His tone was full of ridicule and even the jumper next to me had his body tremble as he couldn't tolerate hearing more.

"Alright, let me show you what power a clown can have," I said these words while opening my profile interface. I wasn't looking at the angels at all, but at the jumper next to me as if the angels weren't even there.

"Activate the channel…" I even shouted out loud what I was doing, "make it all free."

"F… Free?" The jumper was shocked when he heard my words. "I heard even the lousiest channels had a subscription fee of a hundred coins! Are you going for a loss already?"

Loss? C'mon, don't be this simple minded and short sighted person. That wasn't a loss, it was called a far sighted investment.

"Accept the invitation," I calmly sent an invitation for the jumper and his face showed a tinge of hesitation before he accepted it.

"What a pathetic channel without a single subscriber can do?" the central angel snorted while his tone was still filled with confidence and ridicule.

"You'll see," I simply said before finally taking something out of my inventory.

"This…" the moment I took it out, the face of all the smiles of the three angels changed at once. They recognized this the moment I took it.

"Activate the universal broadcast!" Without any speck of hesitation I initiated this item.

[You are the owner of a channel promo reel. Do you want to record a video and publicize it all over the universe? Or do you want to go with a verbal message only?]

"Recording a video," indeed that was the best course of action here. The next instant the small horn in my hand broke free and shone in bright golden light.

It kept itself in midair while floating around like a portable camera.

[You can start the video now]

"Welcome to my Fate Breaker channel. Today is the first day of the channel. I'm Hye, the owner and the leader of a group of highly talented humans from Earth. In celebration of our start, I'm pleased to say that the subscription fee is free. You can join and watch the amazing fight that's going to be initiated in a few minutes."

I turned around and the horn in the air followed me around. It stood in an angle that showed the three angels before.

"As you can see, I have the angels challenging me here for having a class. They promised to use the interstellar mighty cannon twice, can you believe that? Two times that brutal and deadly cannon will be unleashed over me shortly. But don't fret, I promise to shatter the attacks and emerge with my life intact. As for the other attacks they promised…"

I turned again and made them vanish from the video while showing the face of the jumper. I could feel his displeasure but he had no time to run away now.

"I and my friend here, a jumper, are going to face another deadly three waves of gigantic hers of monsters alone! Can you believe that? Two humans against two deadly interstellar cannons and three waves of mighty monsters… But we will prevail."

I took a deep breath, returned to my initial spot as I raised my fist in the air, "Join my channel now for free and enjoy this amazing fight. I promise you, you won't find any interesting battles anywhere else, and you will be greatly satisfied."

I closed my eyes and thought about ending the recording. The horn shone brighter as it shook before it shot like a rocket towards the sky then vanished.

"What was that for? Huh?" The jumper was still annoyed by what I did. I could see why he was acting like that. After all, he believed what I did was nothing but being a clown.

But he was gravely mistaken! That tool… That channel… Being a celebrity was never meant to be a clown! It was much more than that. And I would show him just the tip of the iceberg about these unforeseen benefits now.

[Congratulations! An anonymous god has subscribed to your channel!]

[Congratulations! An anonymous god has subscribed to your channel!]

[Congratulations! An anonymous god …]

Instantly after the vanishing of the broadcast reel, rows upon rows of messages started to rain over my head like an endless flood. I cracked a smile while looking at the angels.

"I'll show you now the real power of the channel," I pointed my raised fist towards the three angels in front of me before adding in a firm and defying tone, "can you tell me again what you prepared for me? I have a short time memory and want to hear these threats again."

The faces of the three angels became dark and unsightly. It seemed they already were notified by the rapidly increasing number of my subscribers.

"Esteemed humans, we are just mere guides dedicated to aid you in your sacred mission."

"What the hell is that?!!!" next to me, the eyes of the jumper popped out of his face as he couldn't believe what he heard.

Against their sudden and earthshattering change of attitude, I only grinned and simply explained things in little words to him.

"It's fame bud, fame can do miracles!"

Yeah, that was one of the mightiest weapons of being a celebrity with a channel.. I became famous, and now my fame would become one of my deadliest weapons and sturdiest shields.

Chapter 54 - It Works!

No matter how arrogant and mighty they acted, the angels were assigned to be the guides of the apocalypse here. I knew they came from a race that survived the apocalypse, and they weren't gods.

So no matter how they tried to act against us, if their actions were recorded and broadcasted like this, they wouldn't be able to continue.

They had to change their attitude and show humbleness and cooperation. Or else many complaints would be raised and they would get severely punished.

Were we watched by gods? Frankly I dunno. But according to the old man, the universe was really big and the number of ongoing apocalypses was really huge.

So it was hard for gods to see the general feedback from our apocalypse. Not this early at the least.

But what I did here wasn't just establishing a channel or being a celebrity. I alarmed the entire universe about the existence of the apocalypse here. I created a scenario many would crave to witness and see its results.

As for their future plan, to continue watching or not, that was something left to fate. But I believed in my ability to make them continue watching.

And that was the real power of the channel, the real power of fame, the simple move that would hit directly at the weakest point of those dirty angels here.

"Fame?" the jumper wasn't stupid. He seemed to get what I meant slowly before adding, "So you made the entrance fee for free for such a purpose?"

"People who don't hear about us won't come to watch if they had to pay," I said in a happy tone, "but who would say no to a free offer? Only a fool will do that!"

"But they didn't change until you made that video," the jumper wanted to know more, but this wasn't the time for saying everything.

Of course they wouldn't care about a channel with no subscribers! If my channel had no one to watch, then it would be meaningless. However a single subscriber watching would make all the difference here.

And now the count has already exceeded a thousand! A thousand in mere minutes! Damn! I must have done an amazing promo then.

The first thing I did was to turn all the notifications off. The upcoming battle wouldn't be just hard, but it would turn harder after what I just did.

However, who cares! I had my own cards up my sleeve, including that jumper next to me.

"Pay attention human, some evildoers have issued something terrible and it's coming your way," the central angel said in his changed attitude. Didn't know why but hearing his tone and seeing that smug smile on his face made me yearn to his true colors.

"Let them come," I simply said before waving my hand, "go away now. I've a hard battle to fight and I want to get ready."

The angels all vanished without even saying goodbye. How cold hearted they were! I turned to the jumper as I instantly said:

"Come with me, and store away those weapons of yours."

"Won't we need them?"

"Not now, and don't show off your mightiest weapons to your enemies like that."

His actions from before slightly enraged me. Now the angels would go back and make sure the monsters coming at us would be well prepared.

In fact I wasn't truly worried about the cannon. It was a disaster that I planned to turn into a blessing. I didn't plan to just defend them, but get a rare benefit back.

But the monsters… Three gigantic waves weren't just simple. I opened my contacts and sent a warning message to Angelica.

[Be ready, monster herds are going to hit this place. Make enough preparations and don't engage in a battle until necessary]

I didn't like the word the angels used; gigantic. To just make myself easier, I sent another message telling her to move south towards the east side of the Turtle Pond and notify me before coming so I could clear a way for them.

"Are you sure about facing that star weapon?" The jumper stood right now with me just beside the base of the statue. I didn't stop there and climbed the base as I added, "come, the safest spot is up here."

He gave me a look full of doubts before climbing and standing on the other side of the big horse.

"Now what?" he asked as if he lost hope about knowing my plans.

"We wait for it to hit us," I raised my head to the sky. As expected, a single star, red in color, was now shining brightly just above our heads.

"It's charging," I slowly said as I pointed high in the air. I knew the subscribers would see the feed with many cameras so I just wanted them to see the star shining brightly in the sky.

That would add more heat to the upcoming battle.

"Are you sure of this?" the jumper seemed to not trust me, "shouldn't we summon our weapons and shields? Build a fortress here or what?"

"Nothing can stand against that kind of attack," I simply shook my head, "not even a divine weapon or shield can resist it."

"What?!!" He seemed to be shocked by my bold declaration. However the next moment the lights all around us started to shine at a rapid pace while all the sounds of the world vanished.

"It's coming," I held to the body of the horse before adding, "hold tightly to this horse. Never move, and do not ever fall to the ground or you are doomed."

The world all around kept buzzing and the light intensified at a terrifying rate. I didn't know if he heard my last warning or not, but hopefully he did.

I raised my head up to the sky and looked towards the bright light brimming up there. It was always a sign of death, no one ever managed to escape being killed from it.

But this time I had a hypothesis in my mind. I lacked any trust before. Yet seeing this light, being at this moment, all the doubts in my heart vanished.

I could do it! That firm belief surfaced from god knew where and overwhelmed my body with weird excitement.

"Here it comes!" I said while watching the light become so bright that it was blinding. The next moment I felt like my entire body was crushed down by a force of god.

It was like nothing I ever experienced or even close to what I imagined. Even taking a breath right now seems to be impossible. My body was crushed down while a red light shone all around.

Heat then slashed next and all I could feel was my skin burning.

"I dare you to kill me!" The loud roaring of the jumper next to me overcame the deafening buzzing of the weapon. I saw him taking out his weapons again, as if he was determined to go on his own plans.

I wanted to scream and stop him, but my voice was sucked away by the terrifying energy. Was I going to die here? Was this my death moment?

*Hum!*

Just at this moment of crisis, a strange humming sound erupted all of sudden. The next moment I felt the tension exerted on me being lifted by a visible degree.

Incredible, the TV Box Everyone Is Talking About: Access All Channels?Smart TV

At least I could breath now, not normally but I could do it with little force.

"This…" Even the loud buzzing sound of the red beam of light was weakened to the extent I heard the shocking words of the jumper. He was looking in a certain direction in a daze and I couldn't help but look upward like him.

"Yeah… It's working at last!" I couldn't hide my excitement while seeing the two swords held by that statue shine. They were releasing a wave of mighty aura of faith that started to spread all over the place.

But thinking this aura of faith alone was enough to stop that terrifying red beam was a joke. The spears I arranged around all shone as well as if they responded to some sort of calling.

I saw them humming and buzzing before they broke free from the ground and flew a couple of meters above earth. I sneaked a peek under the belly of the horse and couldn't help but grin in satisfaction.

It was working! That item I bought at the last minute worked as the heart of this entire array!

"Look! The other spears are reacting as well!!" The jumper acted as a child at this moment. He even jumped to the back of the horse statue and pointed towards the distance.

He was right. Following the response of the spears here, the other spears I scattered carefully at regular intervals shook and got higher from the ground.

It looked like a grand arrow made entirely of red light. The red beam of light looked like being sucked dry by these spears, all headed towards one direction; the dried up pond.

"This… you are a genius!" The jumper didn't know what I did, but he was smart enough to know this all had to do with my meaningless preparations in his eyes.

That dude… he kept complaining and criticizing my decisions and now he was acting like he was supporting me all the time.

Shameless! He was really shameless!

However I didn't care much about him and started to closely observe my creation. The first part of my plan depended entirely on one concept; the city destroyer used an aura of faith to attack as its main weapon.

What did this mean? It meant even if I managed to take the toll of the physical attack, the indomitable aura of faith within the beam would kill my soul.

So this was the main failure that jumper and others did when facing this kind of attack. They shouldn't focus on strength or defense, they should focus on neutralizing this aura of faith.

According to my knowledge, the aura of faith of this weapon was slightly inferior to any god aura. A god being here would be able to destroy the entire planet, not only a mere city.

So the scale of destruction meant this weapon's aura of faith wasn't higher or even equal to a god's aura of faith. And this statue, luckily, had a god aura of faith stored in it.

Though it was a hero grade god, an inferior being to the true gods, it was still a god. The aura of faith of this statue was also special.

It was built based on the logic of defiance. This hero was facing a great enemy at his time and used his will to defy fate and change his destiny.

And that moment was captured inside this statue. Triggering it would require something similar, like the crushing aura of faith coming from that weapon.

In fact I didn't have complete trust in igniting that aura of faith inside the statue. At the first moments I feared that I failed. But it seemed that my thoughts were all right after all.

The aura of faith the statue released created a clash and neutralized the hostile one of the red beam. What remained was the pure energy pouring down upon our heads.

Even using a divine shield to stop it, we would eventually fail! That power, despite being second to the weapon's aura of faith, was still brutal. So I used my last bought item to shift this power using the aftermath of the clashing two auras of faith that helped in weakening that beam.

And then the spears came to light. They could channel energy. I placed them in a diagram similar to the shape of the item I last bought. That diagram wasn't only meant to disperse the energy away from us, but to direct it towards the pond.

After all, I didn't just aim to deflect this attack, but to use that octopus sac to turn that energy into something far more precious and a treasure I could use later on.

I looked at the spears erected a few meters off the ground, shining with bright red light while feeling nothing of danger at all.

Only little pressure remained, one that wouldn't endanger me nor the jumper for sure.

This fight… This clash… It was without doubt my win!

Chapter 55 - [Bonus Chapter] The Monster Wave

The usual time such a weapon would take would be roughly one minute. Despite that short time, it felt like a whole year to me.

I kept watching things going around, hoping that nothing would go wrong. Just as the red beam of light started to fade away slowly, I noticed a sudden surge of power coming from that weapon.

"The second attack," the jumper's astonished voice came, "be ready for it."

"We'll deal with it like the other one," I simply shrugged while watching the second attack land fiercely over the top of my head.

If they waited for the first attack to vanish, then it would actually have caused damage to the two of us. After all that statue here needed time to activate its aura of faith.

Plus I wasn't really sure if it could really be triggered twice in a row. So luckily the enemies were impatient and nervous, or they never expected me to deflect their attack like this.

The red light intensified again and the pressure returned to its annoying level. However, as my preparations were in place, nothing new happened.

After the passage of the second minute, the entire world seemed to dim all of sudden while no single voice appeared all around us.

This kind of attack was able to wipe an entire city! At least it would leave behind a deep crater here. When it was even used in a small -scale attack at the statue of liberty, the entire island there had many deep wounds.

But right now the ground looked normal, not even a single scratch was left behind. I looked around and saw the spears falling on the ground as the energy stopped flowing.

*Woosh!*

Without any hesitation, I stuffed in the last item I purchased into my inventory before jumping off. I hurriedly collected the spear all around the statute before heading fast towards the pond and collecting the spears along the way.

"Why are you in such a rush?" The jumper jumped and followed me while having his weird thoughts. "Are they that precious?"

"They are useful," I only said before we finally reached the pond. There a shocking scene appeared in front of us.

"This… What the hell is this?" The shock appears clearly in the shaky voice of the jumper. He had all the right to feel so, after all that dried up pond was now half filled with strange red liquid.

"Gimme a second," I didn't waste my time in answering him as I purchased ten liquor items first and then used them to suck dry this pond.

Couple of liquor items were usually enough to suck this entire pond dry. But this wasn't simple water. The pond was filled with shining thick red liquid that emitted a dangerous aura.

It was the purification of that red beam from before. All the energy that hailed over us was instilled and transformed into this form of liquid.

Such liquid had different characteris than water. It needed almost twelve liquor items to be collected. And After I did that, all I had on my face was a wide satisfying smile.

Yeah, I managed to get such a precious item this early on in the game.

"Let's go," I turned around and returned to the statue but the jumper seemed to be in shock as he stood in his place motionless for a long time.

When he came back, I was busy seeing something astonishing that I didn't expect.

[Class Quest 1: Survive!]

Incredible, the TV Box Everyone Is Talking About: Access All Channels?Smart TV

[Quest details: You are going to face three waves of monster attacks. You need to survive and kill at least fifty percent of the monsters]

[Quest rewards: You'll gain three more levels in your class + gaining ten class coins + one specific class skill upgraded]

[Failure: losing the qualifications to use the class for the second main system quest]

I was astonished. I didn't get a class quest when I fought against that brutal attack from before. Why was that? Did the system see me as someone not able to survive? Or was there something else?

I couldn't feel any doubt towards the next attack. I thought the three waves of monsters to be much easier than the double city destroyer assault.

But it seemed I underestimated this challenge. I couldn't help but feel more tense while the jumper reached my side.

"Why are you acting like you already lost?" he seemed to notice the grave expression on my face, "things are going to be just fine. It's just monster waves, what can possibly happen?"

I knew his words made sense, but if that is so then why did this turn out to be a class quest? The class quests weren't that common to have, and each one of them was supposed to be a real life and death challenge.

When I glanced again at the quest, I couldn't help but frown. The rewards I would get were really rich. Upgrading my class level by three ranks was something hard.

I needed one thousand souls to upgrade one level, and this quest here would push me three levels at once. How could that be even considered a reward for a normal quest?

I didn't know what the quest coins meant, but it seemed like something valuable. Perhaps it was something special and limited for classes only, as I never heard about such a thing before.

As for upgrading my class skills, it was a rich reward in my eyes. Upgrading even one skill would increase my total strength.

Looking at everything here, this quest meant only one thing; the upcoming monster waves were simple.

"Don't let your guard down," I said in a low voice while keeping up my vigilance.

"Are you finally asking for my help?"

Stop boasting please! If not for the uncertainty here, I would have never asked you for help.

"I'm just preparing for the worse."

"What could possibly go wrong? It's a monster tide wave, nothing special about it," he stretched his arms before a long spear and a shield appeared, "I faced many such monster waves. They all depend on numbers and nothing much."

I looked at him without saying my worries. I just hoped he would be right. I also knew a lot about monster waves from the records. As this jumper just said, they all depended on quantity and not quality.

But would it be this easy?

"Ka ka ka ka…" just as I was lost in my thoughts, a loud laugh emerged all of sudden. It came from hundreds of meters away, while a portal suddenly wrapped open there.

It started with a tiny dark red dot before it started to enlarge fast. In a few breaths it reached the size enough for a giant to pass through it.

"So this is the kid who killed that useless cousin of mine? Ka ka ka ka… I knew that cousin was a piece of sh*t, but not to lose on such a weak human kid."

Amidst that portal, a figure suddenly darted out in slow pace. From the first look I could recognize that new enemy's identity.

"A dragon race? What the hell is going on?" The jumper's tone changed as it was slightly heavy. And he had all the right to feel that.

The youth that appeared in front of me reminded me of that dragon kid I killed inside the class quest. He had golden scales on his cheeks, and his brows were shimmering in golden light. He looked robust with a body exceeding four meters in length.

He was strong. But that wasn't the reason behind the change in the jumper's attitude or mine. Just his presence here didn't make any sense.

"Surprised to see me?" he cracked a vicious smile as if he was enjoying this. "I just received the orders from my family. Someone sold a piece of info with a small video showing you killing my cousin. Poor cousin! He was aiming to contend with me over the seat of patriarch of the clan."

"What are you doing here?" the jumper was the one to speak while I noticed he changed his gears at this moment. The shield he held changed and became oval in shape and bigger in size compared to the previous one.

He wore a helmet that bent over his cheeks and had a single feather on top of it. I recognized this helmet, alongside the silver armor, armguards, legguards, and even knuckles.

It was a set, a very strong set that depended entirely on one's cultivation and not stats.

"I'm here to play," he said as if it was fun, "after all certain people paid a hefty price to make us participate in this little game here. I thought I was going to see something interesting, but in the end this was it. A poor human youth and pathetic coward."

"Who are you calling a coward? Do you want to die?" The jumper instantly stirred up while I simply made my final preparations.

'Add stat points to all my stats,' I slowly thought of this order in my mind, 'make all stats reach max!'

[All stats have been risen to max]

I hurriedly opened the profile to see that all stats stopped at a hundred points each. Compared to the previous forty points this was an obvious upgrade. But I doubted it would be enough to deal with those dragons.

I felt power seeping rapidly inside my body. A faint layer of red light lingered around me and that attracted the attention of that arrogant dragon youth.

"Trying to raise your power? That's funny, ka ka ka ka," he laughed as he pointed at me while turning back to the portal.

"He doesn't come alone, be on guard," the jumper's tone became more dignified.

"Be ready for a hell fight," I slowly said while taking out my swords. I could have bought better ones, or replaced these swords with anything in my inventory.

But why should I? If not for the fear of having no time to do it in the middle of battle, I would rather keep my stats lowered and didn't raise them.

If he thought I was weak, then why should I prove him wrong?

"Don't panic," the dragon kid laughed, "I brought my army here to lead a magnificent beast wave. Don't die so fast, or my trip here would be boring."

The next instant he got a long sword out of nowhere and raised it high in the air. He roared in a deafening tone, and I felt my entire body shaking.

"The dragon might? Damn! He is one of those royal blood bastards!" The jumper next to me wasn't in better shape. After all this dragon might roar was an innate skill that directly assaulted the soul.

It was also a famous shout for war. I knitted my brows while watching the dimly lit world around me getting brighter.

"Sigh, they'll take long minutes to arrive here," the dragon warrior shook his head as if he was depressed, "I've come here to tell you another piece of news…"

I clenched the hilts of my swords while activating my hawkeye skill. I managed to see clearly what was coming at me from far away. Thanks to my hawkeye skill, I could see up to one mile ahead.

And what I saw made my scalp numb!

"All of them are dragon variant monsters… How come…?!!" I was shocked while watching the smug smile over that arrogant dragon youth. As if he didn't hear my words, he continued to say:

"Certain people had to interfere thanks to you. Your class is just heaven defying and you aren't allowed to survive for another second. But dealing with this class even after killing you is troublesome, so they had to change the entire quest schedule, paying a hefty price for that."

They changed the quest schedule just for me? I couldn't help but smile in satisfaction. Despite that meant the next quests wouldn't be like the order I knew, they would still be the same quests I was familiar with.

What was wrong with changing the quest order? That wouldn't differ much to me. But in return for that, it seemed the angels paid a large price to do that. And it seemed like this wasn't only limited to the angels of this city.

"So you want to say you are here as a dog on behalf of your masters?" I said in mockery while my face showed a provocative smile.

"You…" the look over the face of the dragon youth changed a little but he didn't move to attack. "You are really funny. Let's see if you can be this funny when I take out your heart and gril it on fire."

With a whoosh, he vanished and I could notice him appearing far away from here. For some reason, this dragon youth acted all talk with no intention of directly clashing with me.

Why was that? Even with my earlier provocation as a probe, he didn't attack and simply retreated.

Chapter 56 - The Orb Of Destruction

The jumper didn't feel safe until he moved away from me. Without any further words he darted towards the incoming monster army and started killing with all his might.

"Tsk, I didn't know he is this easy to handle," I shook my head in amusement before things started to change all of sudden.

Two minutes didn't pass from his participation in the battle before something started to shine behind. I turned and was surprised to see two portals flashing in bright dark red light, appearing less than a hundred meters behind me.

"Weird," I didn't feel any pressure but I turned to watch the distant dragons who stood all idle before. As expected, the moment these two portals appeared, the dragons started to move as well.

They aimed at the jumper up front. I knew that the jumper feared the dragons, but it seemed they also feared him.

Or to be more precise, they feared the two of us standing together. I didn't know why, but I doubted their ability to handle the jumper this easily.

That if the jumper stood and waited for them to attack him.

*Roar!* *Roar!* *Roar!*

Roars started to appear so close to the portals. I knew the monsters were about to come out and that would instantly put more pressure on my forces.

"You and you move to there and stop them," I pointed towards two of the shield warriors before adding, "the rest advance towards the craters up front. We will station ourselves there. And you, come with me."

I didn't plan to follow the arrangement of my enemies. If they sent these forces to pincer me like that, it wouldn't be wise to stay idle.

Like the dragons, they moved to intercept the jumper and I planned to move and support him.

My orders were executed smoothly as my forces moved as I planned. At the same time, the jumper tried to retreat but he was instantly surrounded with more enemies to handle.

"Hit the rear," I pointed towards the group of monsters blocking the path of retreat on the jumper, "be careful not to hit him."

The archers were the best option I had. Each one would kill one monster, but their attack would be precise and easily controlled.

*Roar!* *Roar!* *Roar!*

As we finally reached the area of craters, the monsters appeared from the two portals. They came in large numbers and great momentum, not fearing anything in their faces.

"Burn them all," I didn't depend entirely on my two groups of shield warriors. After all, their skill would take a few seconds to ignite. "Wait for a few seconds before attacking, and if the shield warriors hit, wait until their skill is gone."

I left this job for almost one third of my magician warriors. They were able to cause enough damage to control the influx of monsters out of the portals.

The enemies didn't seem to see this weakness until now. They thought by sending the two portals towards me to put me in a hard position.

But as I moved myself away and created a buffer zone, then the monsters could be easily killed by my magicians.

The short distance wasn't just an advantage for them, but also a great weakness. I even didn't see any need for my shield warriors to be there. Even if the three portal monsters united together at this moment, I didn't care.

They would never be able to threaten me. Plus I knew this came as a diversion from the real target here; killing the jumper.

Cheap Way to Get All the TV Channels - Is It Really Working?Smart TV

As the jumper feared the dragons, it seemed like the dragons feared him as well. Or perhaps someone else was fearing him, asking the dragons to make sure the jumper would be dead.

That shone light on their true aim here. It wasn't me they were after, but my strongest asset, the jumper.

"Try to retreat," I shouted while watching the arrows killing more monsters and alleviating the pressure over the jumper.

Without the need for me to speak, he felt my help and was smart enough to start retreating. However he was moving slowly, slower than the incoming dragons.

"Get ready to start a cover up fire," as things seemed to head that way, staying here was meaningless. I slowly ordered the rest of the magicians and the archers.

They knew what they had to do without the need for me to explain, or I hoped they would.

"Make sure to heal all of us out there," finally those healers who stayed all this time doing literally nothing had part in this battle. Just as I said so, I started to run fast towards the front.

"Come with me," I ordered my Bulltors, "the target is those arrogant dragons."

The distance between the dragons and the jumper was really short. In a span of a few breaths they would reach him, so did I.

If they aimed at hitting him, then why not I aim towards them? The rich rewards I got from a single dragon youth was still lingering in my mind till now.

Seeing twenty valiant dragons coming so close to me was a temptation I couldn't resist. Anyone killed by them would be a gain, an awesome gain to me.

"Don't come here, they got the orb of destruction!"

Just as I moved, the shout of the jumper came in warning. But it was too late. Of course I read about such orb, and I knew it wasn't a game.

"Shield warriors, unleash your skill now!" without any hesitation I gave the order for a countermeasure. Also I replaced one sword with the strongest shield I could wield with my current stats.

The shield looked thin and hexagonal in shape, but it was really heavy. Its surface was covered in a thin leaves falling engraving like a gale of wind just hit the place in autumn.

It was really heavy. The moment I held it out, I felt my entire body lose balance and it went directly towards the ground. But it wasn't bad after stabilizing myself. Yet I had to take in my other sword and held the shield with both arms.

*Rumbl!*

Just as I started moving, I felt the entire world around me getting darker. It wasn't the same as when the sun died out, but it was like the entire lights were sucked away and only darkness persisted.

This was the beginning of the scary attack of that orb.

"Shield warriors… Now! Healers, release your strongest skills over us!"

I knew I couldn't get out from this kind of attack without paying some price. Yet using the healers wasn't directed at healing our wounds.

The orb of destruction was considered a killer item in this stage of the apocalypse. It was an orb festered in a world of hell, storing away all the lava and fire until all the light was eaten by its destructive force.

Once used, it would unleash hell upon us. It wasn't just about fire and lava, heat wasn't also the problem. This kind of attack was directed at the soul; the orb of destruction was a soul weapon.

And that weapon used darkness as its deadly blade. Luckily for me and that useless jumper, healers were here.

Healers could be considered strong light magicians if things are seen from the angle of the soul. Their souls were situated at the rear opposite from the darkness.

Even their healing skills would be considered the best nemesis of such an attack, only topped by the light magicians.

And I didn't have any holy or light based magicians here. So my best option was using the healers to weaken the intensity of such a brutal attack.

In addition to that, my shield warriors combined skill was enough to shake any other damage accompanying the darkness assault from that orb.

"Get ready to move at my mark," despite being surrounded by that darkness, I didn't stop thinking about dealing a deadly strike to those dragons.

They were close, so close to let them go smoothly like that. Using the orb of darkness was for sure targeted at me and my Bulltors, but not the jumper.

They wanted to isolate the jumper from my reinforcements. This was a brilliant move, but it wouldn't work against me.

*Sizzle!* *Sizzle!* *Sizzle!*

The moment the darkness intensified and I couldn't even see the shield I was leaning against, I felt roses of light shining all around, dispersing the darkness and leaving behind sizzling noises.

"Now!" without even raising my head to look around, I knew this was the attack of my healers. Also I could feel the strong pressure clashing in between the orb of destruction from the front and my shield warriors' skill from the back.

That meant the effect of the orb of destruction was now being controlled. What I lacked was the definite info about the time of the orb of destruction and also the scale of its force.

So when I sensed things were under control, I didn't hesitate to use the best method to remove this orb of destruction; killing the one controlling it.

*Roar!* *Roar!* *Roar!*

Once I gave the order, I heard the loud and angry roars coming from the Bulltors around. They were also defending using their big shields just like me. But for some reason, they seemed to struggle more than I did.

I thought as they held better gears, had their strong bodies and strong stats, facing such an assault would be nothing. But they looked more angry and threatened than myself at this moment.

So when I gave them the order, all I felt was for their giant bodies to flicker in the air while roaring in defiance.

Then sounds of loud clashes came from the front. A big battle seemed to erupt at this moment.

"Keep attacking," I shouted and didn't aim for anyone in particular by my words, "don't falter, we will win this!"

I couldn't even raise my head at this moment fearing for the incoming brutal assault of that orb of destruction. Even the shield I had couldn't be controlled except with my two hands.

So all I could do was to ignite the morale of my small force, making sure they wouldn't be shaken by such a coordinated attack.

The sound of clashes kept coming for ten seconds that seemed as long as an entire year. Before I knew it, good news started to pour at me in batches.

[You killed a dragon race. You got the dragon soul, a special form of soul. You can check it later inside the class panel]

[You killed a dragon race. You got the dragon soul, a special form of soul. You can check it later inside the class panel]

[You killed a dragon race. You got the dragon soul, a special form …]

Messages kept lining up at a faster pace while the sounds coming from the front became louder and louder. I didn't know when but all the pressure coming from the front instantly vanished, even though I was almost this close from losing my balance until the last moment.

I couldn't dare to put the shield away until examining the situation. The situation was simply described as an overwhelming victory for me. The dragons were being shattered and killed all around, and a small group of five were running back as fast as they could.

But they weren't getting far enough before the jumper moved faster and intercepted them. He finally got the courage to do something good. As for my Bulltors, half were killing the remaining dragons here, and the other half were giving a chase to those five.

"Kill them and then wait for me," as I saw this, I couldn't help but give such weird orders.

In fact, just as I was bathed in the brutal attack from the orb of destruction, a weird message appeared in front of me coming from my channel. And now I had finally the means to deal with what came in there.

[Anonymous god sent you a privileged message as the subscriber and the top donator to your channel]

[The message is paid to be received regardless of your setting to neglect any messages from the channel]

[The message is as follows: As a god who sympathizes with the Bulltors, and as someone who is showing respect towards them, I have to warn you… A third attack of that deadly star weapon is being ready to launch. Its location is predetermined and won't change. Figure things out on your own.. Survive this and I will give you a handsome reward. Make sure the Bulltors survive]

Chapter 57 - Separation Class Skill

I didn't know who that god was, but he was certainly a friend not a foe. He didn't only alarm me about that treacherous trick, but also paid a hefty price to do that.

Without any doubt he was someone mighty and authoritative. Would he be a real god then? If so then I hit a jackpot from the opening show of my channel.

That was one of the many advantages of having a channel. Being a celebrity wasn't just a thing for show. It was a display of strength actually. Like this one here, that god seemed to take a liking to me.

Even if he had to pay a lot of price to deliver this message, he wouldn't hesitate to do so. After all, blessing points and coins weren't something precious in the eyes of a real god.

I hoped he would turn to become a real god, someone strong and useful at least. In just this message I could see how caring he was for me. He also cared about the Bulltors, which meant he might be related to them somehow.

But the Bulltors ended up losing their planet and failing the apocalypse. Hopefully that wouldn't happen to me and the human race.

As for how to handle this matter, it came as a spontaneous reaction without much thought. In fact I didn't know where that frightening weapon would attack.

Thinking of going back and using the same method wouldn't do. At least my enemies would be more prepared this time.

"So that's why they opened two portals near that place," it was impossible for me to replicate the same results again.

The path to the pond was blocked now by these two portals. Besides, the area around the statue turned into a big battlefield.

So the only possible way I could rely upon was to be free of any restraints.

Choosing to go deeply inside the monster army was the only possible path I had.

Even if I was surrounded with herds of monsters, no one would ever threaten me there. And if I wanted to walk away at any time, they wouldn't stop me.

Before I left, I started to gather my own loot. I stretched my hands and placed them over the dead body of the first dragon youth, seeing the old message of having half of its inventory.

After all, the system considered my warriors as part of my strength. But that wasn't the only thing I had here.

[Detecting two bones ready to separate. Do you want to use the separation skill over this dead body?]

It came as a surprise, a pleasant surprise. Was that thing instantly activated when I touched some dead bodies with bones suited to be absorbed?

It was my first time to use this skill, so I was all curious about the benefits I would get. Without thinking much, I agreed and then a strange thing happened.

My palms shone in a weird black red light. It looked like a dying sun before the night fell. At the same time, two places in that dead body shone in white light.

"A shoulder and torso bone…" I moved my hands feeling like they were attracted to these two bones by a magnet. The moment I touched them, nothing much happened. I only felt a strange feeling as if I was holding something in my hands.

"So these are the bones… interesting," I raised the two bones and examined them. They were slightly bigger than the bones of a human, but not much change in their appearance.

The only weird thing might be the two shone in white light. In fact it looked as if they were both made out of pure white jade material and not bone.

"Let me store you for now," I threw the two inside my inventory while having some expectation for the other corpses.

I had fifteen dragons around me killed already. One gave me two white bones, so what about others?

As I started my hunt, I didn't neglect my other forces around. I shouted and ordered them to orderly advance towards my location, and the Bulltors still standing around me kept me safe from any monster.

Facing such monsters wasn't a hurdle for my little force. No matter how much they sent onto me, I wasn't endangered for even a second.

"Wow! I can't believe I got this much!!"

After I finished, I didn't move my eyes away from the inventory. The inventory swelled in size and at least tripled by far. However I wasn't interested in checking things I got except for my precious bones.

I got at least two bones from all of the dragons, with few giving me three and two gave me a pleasant surprise of four bones. They were mostly white in color, but there were five bones red and only one silver in color.

I didn't know their value yet, but for sure that silver bone was the highest in value. If this was something unique only to my class, then I could imagine how precious these bones were.

Yet I had no time to test them here. I knew things could wait until I finished this quest.

I moved my eyes away and could now see the brutal fighting happening up front. From the last remaining five dragons, only two were still standing. Despite their fervent effort, they couldn't escape the tight enclosure done by the jumper and my Bulltors.

However they were all in the heart of that great monster tide. So they couldn't take these two out, especially when one of them was the first arrogant arrogant youth who appeared first in front of me.

He was strong! His attacks rumbled the ground even. But what could he do against brute force? Dragons valued strength, and to crush them one needed even greater strength to bring them down.

"Follow me," I didn't delay any further, "the shield warriors will form a tight circle around. Bulltors are to move in front and clear a path while one group of shield warriors stay close to them to help if things become hard. Others stay in the middle and keep attacking. Healers make sure no one is killed."

Despite solving the earlier crisis of that orb of darkness fast, I lost five Bulltors during that short period. I didn't feel that bad about losing this few, but when I remembered I had no way to obtain more I was truly pained.

It was a big loss no matter how small the casualty was! If I get a chance again to obtain warriors, then I shall spend no effort to get thousands of them.

Having more of anything wouldn't matter, but being short and limited like this would be bad.

"Keep moving, don't stop," I kept receiving my orders while pushing everyone to their limits. We had little room to move in here. Even with the help of everyone, the monsters killed would be instantly replaced with fresh ones.

But against brute force, what numbers could do?

As if my enemies saw my line of thoughts, a red light started to suddenly flash above my head. I subconsciously looked up with much fear swerling inside my guts.

I would never know where it would hit until it started to descend. But the odds of it hitting in the middle of that big army was nearly negligible.

I acted out of any logic, and their hurry in activating that weapon now proved this. If I was heading towards the right place they previously determined, then they would rather wait for me to get closer to the center.

So they were only racing time to land that hit. I knew that weapon's main strength was terrifying, but its shockwave wasn't a joke either.

Even a strike that happened miles away created a strong gale of wind that swept me when I was inside the great lawn.

So I imagined the reason behind this hastened activation. They wanted to save these two dragons from getting killed.

If the weapon hit, then the shockwave would send all of us flying without order. I doubted it would be enough to kill everyone, but at least it would give a chance for these two dragons to escape.

How could I let them run away like that? Especially when I was looking for the loot I would gain from them? No way, that leading arrogant youth must have a very special collection of items in his inventory. Not to mention his bones must be high grade ones.

"Archers and magicians, aim for the two dragons up front," we were already close to the big fight going on between the two sides. "Make sure to aim at them, if not help in killing the waves of monsters keeping out people entangled."

The next instant attacks shifted and landed over the two dragons up front. Using my hawkeye skill I could see clearly how inefficient these attacks were.

Even if an arrow hit, it wouldn't create a lot of damage there. The bodies of these two dragons seemed sturdier than the rest. The chances of the two of them being alive so far out of pure luck we're almost nil.

They were strong. And that made me drool over them even more.

"Bulltors, break free and get to help at the front," if things reached this far then I could no longer play safe. Even if that would make our slow advance even slower, I wouldn't bother with this.

I had my own shield warriors who got the next order after the spring of my Bulltors up front.

"Shield warriors, unleash your skills now!"

The world all around rumbled while I didn't care but by that dangerous red light up above. Strangely enough, that weapon kept charging for longer than usual.

It would take a few minutes to charge before unleashing hell. But now we exceeded five minutes already, and that star seemed to not be releasing anything yet.

A thought flashed through my mind when I noticed this. Was there a relation between the charging time and the intensity of that deadly weapon attack?

If so then I was going to face a hell of an attack soon.

"Keep pushing forward," I didn't slack off anymore and even started to join the fight. My warriors could be collected easily into my inventory with a mere thought.

But I was the only one able to take away the loot and the bones from these two dragons. So even if they were killed, it wasn't enough for me.

I needed to reach there in time, and I was running short on time.

I took out two of the best swords I could wield. Each added twenty points to my strength stat besides a sharpness effect that added more penetration to their blades against any armor or thick skin.

Then I started to utilize my full stats advantage against these monsters.

Despite them being dragonoid monsters, they didn't pose a threat to me actually. My two swords danced while I raised my speed to the limit.

The distance towards the jumper and these two dragons got shortened fast. My Bulltors already arrived moments before me, and their appearance added more fear to these two dragons.

"Kill them fast," I shouted even before arriving, "we are going to be hit by that beam once again."

The jumper was totally absorbed in the battle, so he didn't seem to notice anything. When he raised his head and saw that ominous red light up there, he paused for a second before he started to use everything he got to kill the two dragons.

With my arrival, the fight was almost over.

"My mighty clan won't let this slip away," that arrogant dragon kept yelling in resentment before I finally killed him using my swords, "they'll hunt you down till the end of this forsaken land."

"I won't mind them coming," I snorted before rotating the blades in his body and cutting down his heart mercilessly, "anyone standing in my way will be killed no matter what. Go and say hi to your friend, soon I'll add more company to the two of you in hell."

"f*ck you!" his last words were just cursing me before his eyes went blank and his face and body stiffened.

I got the two dragons at last, and the last kill was luckily mine.
