I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Anyway, I had to wait for that higher up’s response first. If he didn’t answer, then I’d return to the contract and try to find a solution with the system’s help.

Thinking about using the system to force a system higher up to do something seemed a bit weird and funny. However contracts were obligatory, even for those higher ups.

[I’m working on it, human kid. Don’t think such a thing is done with a flip of switch]

The answer came in the form of this simple message. I didn’t know but I felt like he was trying to get away from this deal or just buying himself more time.

“Just don’t take that long, or else our contract won’t be valid anymore.”

[I’m doing my part, don’t think I’m slacking here!]

“I hope you aren’t,” I didn’t buy any of his words. I was sure now more than ever he was slacking.

I opened the contract and made sure the conditions there were limiting the payment by the fulfilment of that dude’s promise.

And there was also a time limit of one week after doing my part. Almost one and half day was gone so he had less than five and half left. So he wasn’t in the wrong yet. But his actions made me a little impatient.

If he stuck to the deal and waited till the end of the week, then I had one week void of anything major.

Should I lead my boys into dungeons? Or should I focus first over opening cultivation?

In fact opening the cultivation held much more importance than going into the dungeons. Besides, I also needed to take time and focus on raising my spiritual energy.

Besides, I got lots of things into my shadow world. I didn’t pay it a visit since sending these there.

Anyway, I had more time for me to do all these. Also I had to consider what I should do with my kingdom.

I read a lot of records before about how the three kingdoms appeared in this world and how they survived and thrived till my last day there.

They did lots of work indeed. Building an empire was much different than building an army. Both needed talented people to lead them.

Armies need soldiers, kingdoms need people. The two might look similar but I knew how much harder it was to gather enough people to build an empire.

Just looking at my current situation proved that. The lands here were already under my control but the world looked desolate.

Without having enough population to fill up and live in these lands, they would end up being controlled lands and not a true kingdom.

That was where the communication system kicked in. without it, I lacked any good meaning in increasing the number of my people.

Even using the deals with Fang and Wryly wouldn’t be enough. I needed to attract more people from all the eastern coast, and the central zone as well.

Hopefully humans would survive in large numbers until that system became a reality. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

I looked up from my chariot at the city here. Things were calm, like the calmness of a cemetery.

It looked desolate. I knew even if my forces arrived, the place wouldn’t look any much better.

How much would I leave here? Few thousand? Tens of thousands? I didn’t think even ten thousand would be stationed here. Only a few thousands, at most five, would be here.

Should I let them start mating and give birth to new human offspring? Well, it was one of the most stable actions and solutions to such a problem.

But were times really that stable to push my people to take such a major step? It wasn’t a simple thing, and if many brutal wars erupted, then losses wouldn’t be just in numbers but in family members.

This might deal a great blow to their spirits, as it might ignite more.

It was… A tough choice indeed. Even I, the strongest one here, wasn’t that sure about taking such a step myself.

Having fun was cool, but establishing a family? That was something big.

Ok, it was better to leave this for later then.

“Where is everyone?”

Just at this moment, I heard Hilary’s weak voice coming from my back.

I turned and saw her. This chick… She was wearing her armour loose, exposing two gems in her chest again.

“Can’t you properly get dressed before coming up,” I sighed, and she gave me a blaming look as if this was my fault.

“I always wake up and see you away not by my side. That makes me rush up here to check on you.”

“What? Are you afraid something bad will happen to me or something?” I walked to her, and like we had tacit understanding, she leant her body over mine, letting her head rest over my chest.

“I just… Don’t like the idea of losing you,” she said in such weird words, letting me feel a little warmth in the depth of my heart.

“Don’t worry,” I gave her a deep hug before starting to properly dress her.

“Where is… Everyone?” after painting a soft kiss over her sweet lips, she asked, looking around to see none but my Gollams, Bulltors, and shield bearers.

“They are out there,” I motioned my head towards the city.

“Is there a fight going on here or something?” she moved to the edge of the chariot, and I simply hugged her back while looking at the devastated and ruined city.

“They are just strolling.”

“In this desolate place?” she turned to face me, leant over the edge of the chariot with one leg, showing such an irresistible posture in front of me.

I couldn’t hold myself but to carry her from the thighs, push her up and let her sit over the edge. Her head was on the same level as mine, while her long hair extended down over the chariot.

“What?” she asked as if she didn’t know what she was inviting me to do.

“You know we just had fun twice in a row,” I said while slowly moving my hands over her exposed thighs.
