I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse-Chapter 38 - Alice In The Wonderland Statue

I came here just to get a class. So when I realized for sure about being sent back in time, the first thing I calculated was how to get a class as soon as possible.

Getting a class was something complicated. Either I would accept the blessing of the gods and wait for a class quest, or I should look for the opportunities around.

One of them would be to become a traitor. Just like what Angelica, her friend, other aces and traitors had. This path was unnegotiable for me.

I didn't know about it from the beginning and even if I knew, I wouldn't have considered it at all.

So my only option was to search my memories and look for the hidden places where one could obtain classes from. Classes had an endless list with different grades there. But the good thing was that anyone could change his/her class once he/she got a new one.

But I had a different opportunity here. According to what the old man said, there was a strong, really strong class hidden inside the central park. It was so strong that even the human who got it for himself in the old man's words was hunted mercilessly and killed a few hours after getting it.

It was so strong to even terrify the angels. I wasn't sure about its details to be honest. After all that man acted as lone wolf, and only someone who accidentally met him and watched the fight eavesdropped over the conversation between him and the angels.

If not for that, that info would be lost. I started to feel like walking in the middle of a treasure trove blinded, with no way to tell if I missed something great on the way to here or not.

But this class would be mine. According to the old man, that human was hunted down in the middle of the second quest. So he must have obtained it either at the break between quests or right after the start of the second quest.

That was one of the reasons why I wanted to go there before the end of the first quest. I had less than six hours now, enough for me to go there and have it.

As for the location of it, the old man told me exactly where it was; the conservatory water at the south part of the park.

When I thought about how someone who accidentally overheard a discussion between the previous owner of the class and angels could pinpoint the location of the class, I knew something was fishy.

According to what I recently learnt, he must have been a traitor before. Or else how could he get his hands over all this information? It didn't make any sense to hear all of this in a fight to death talk.

"Does that mean some traitors would betray the angels later on?" I couldn't help but ask myself that while walking firmly towards the south.

The path was clear from any monster. In less than an hour, I finally reached the conservatory water.

It was a big pond which filled my sight. I stood over the front where hills covered with green surrounded it's both sides.

But my aim wasn't the pond itself, but the statue lying at its front.

I took a small detour until I stopped in front of a bronze and very detailed statue; Alice in the wonderland statue.

"Finally I'm here," I looked at the statue with excitement. According to the news from the old man, the class was hidden inside this statue.

The statue represented Alice, who was sitting on top of a big mushroom and having a tea party with the March Hare, the White Rabbit, the Dormouse, the Cheshire Cat, the Caterpillar, and Dinah. It was a marvelous statue that I would appreciate looking at at different times.

The statue had few big and small mushrooms. If I was the one to hide the class, then it would be under the circular top of these mushrooms.

"Let's check the one Alice is standing on," I moved my feet towards the statue while extending my hand to search underneath the mushroom.

[Congratulations! You found the hidden dungeon key to the hidden class]

Yet even before my hands would reach the mushroom, I saw this message popping up in front of me. It was bizarre. "A dungeon gate? Wait…"

It just hit me out of the blue, yet I was too late to act. The classes scattered all around the world seemed to be obtained in the same way like the normal classes; through class quests!

Before I could move a muscle, a white ray of light extended from Alice's eyes. The next second the world all around blurred.

I was getting teleported towards the dungeon. But this wasn't the end of the messages that I got.

I only blinked thrice before the world regained its clarity again. I was inside a big arena with three paths branching out of it. The world was clear and lit with warm and bright sun-like stars. But this star had double suns, not just one.

[Welcome to the Labyrinth dungeon]

[You are the first to discover the hidden class quest in Nala]

[Number of slots available: Five]

[You have half an hour to adjust and prepare while other slots will be filled by representatives from the other races]

"What the hell…?!!" I was taken aback when I read these messages. "Since when was it a race competition?" I didn't know what to say or do.

After all the words of the system were the absolute law of the apocalypse.

I now realized how dangerous my situation was! It wasn't until quest ten when humans would face the other races coming from other worlds.

I didn't need to say, they were strong. I was just starting to strengthen my body and them… They had absolute bodies and innate strength born and honed over years.

"I need to raise my stats," a sense of urgency rose up inside my heart before I stopped just when I saw three familiar faces appearing midair.

"You…" I furrowed my brows while looking at the three angels who were supervising over the quests of mine till now.

The look over their faces was priceless. They looked shocked and I could sense they never saw this coming.

Just that look gave me a sense of satisfaction, to some extent.

"You…" the central angel pointed at me with a shaky hand, "how did you find this place? Who exactly are you?"

I only smiled and shrugged without saying anything useful. "I just accidently saw it while I was wandering the park."

Of course they didn't buy my excuse. This was the apocalypse. Who would be in their right mind to take it as a sightseeing tour?

"Good, you are good," the central angel said while nodding. His face became slightly swollen and tainted with redness. He was furious, very enraged from my actions.

The more he became so, the more satisfied I was.

"Let's see how you'll handle this then," yet the corners of his mouth tilted up as if he was hiding a trump card.

[The guides requested an alteration in the class quest]

And just like that, a message popped up announcing what that angel decided to do. When I saw it, I couldn't help but frown.

The first quest didn't end and they still had some blessing points left? That didn't make any sense.

"You think that I lack blessing points, right?" The angel was now speaking to me like he was sure I knew everything about the apocalypse. "Bad for you. This quest isn't something easy. No one would let a mere human like you get his hands on the class hidden here. So this is a mere gift from other guides. No need to thank me, I'm just doing my job to help."

"Screw you," I blurted out but without any rage. I knew facing these despicable beings would lead me to many confrontations with them.

So I wasn't regretting or blaming myself at all. I just waited to see what they paid and prepared for me in this quest then.

In fact I felt more excitement in the heart. According to that angel's words, the class hidden here was really OP. I now wanted it, wanted it more than ever!

[The changes were set. The price was paid. The new quest is adjusted] 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

[Any participant here will have the chance to summon warriors from the market using blessing points]

[Detecting the first participant qualifications]

[You don't have a blessing yet. Adjustments are made]

[You can use coins to summon warriors from the market]

[All restraints from the market are removed]

'Wow! I never saw this would be your way of punishment,' I inwardly snorted while giving a light gaze up to that angel.

Using coins? C'mon, I have nothing else but coins in my inventory.

"I urge for another adjustment," yet when the system finished listing the messages in front of my eyes, the angel hurriedly shouted in some distress.

It seemed to know that I had enough coins to compete against them. After all even those coming from the other worlds had blessing points, they wouldn't have that much considering the start of the apocalypse.

So he had to interfere. And I simply watched without showing any reaction on my face.

[The guides paid for an adjustment using blessing points]

'Yeah, consume more points. The more you pay the weaker you'll all become later on.'

[The system will determine another method for the human Hye to compete]

"We want a privilege," all of sudden that central angel shouted again. His eyes were all fixed on me, glaring with golden dark light like he was enjoying what I would suffer next.

C'mon, bring it one and let me see what you could do!

"We know you acquired stat points from our agents," the central angel didn't hurry to issue the adjustment to the system. Instead he started to speak like he was waiting to see a look of despair on my face.

Stats points? Would he select this way? Really?

[Another adjustment is paid for]

[The guides will select the way you'll compete in the dungeon]

[The guides selected the stats points as the currency of exchange for warriors from the market] ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

"Humph, let's see how you'll get your dirty hands on this precious class," the central angel humphed with a look of confidence on his face. Before vanishing in thin air, his mouth tilted and showed a ridiculed smile.

He was so confident in his scheme, thinking he cornered me here.

But he least knew what I really had. Stats points? Pft, I could easily obtain these without any problems using my coins.

[Considering the new adjustments, you'll have one hour to prepare]

[Time in the dungeon will be adjusted]

[The total stay here will be equal to the end of the first quest time]

[You have six hours to end this quest]

Six hours? No problem for me. I shrugged while feeling elated by the new adjustments and the frustration I would see over those angels' faces.

If it was before then I would be slightly worried. But now? Humph, after the unlocking of the market to me, I was like a fish returning to water.

"I will sell all the monster cores and materials in the market," without any hesitation, I opened the market and instantly moved patches upon patches of monster drops there.

But that wasn't all.

"Put these into auction," I selected the hybrid monster drops and sent them to the market interface and chose to auction them.

The core itself would bring at least half a million coins in base price. With the auction, I was sure I would get two millions out of this.

I had one hour to prepare, so what was wrong about waiting for the auction to finish?

[You got two hundred coins]

[You got five hundred coins]

[You got fifty coins]

[You got two thousand coins]

An endless line of messages popped up as I kept pouring out everything I had in my inventory. I gathered a lot of monster drops, either by myself or taking these from other traitors.

And now I was going to fight back using all my power, I would certainly win.

"Time to see the list of warriors available for me to purchase," As the list of messages kept raining down like a blizzard storm, I waited impatiently for them to end so I could check that list.

What kind of warriors was allowed for me to recruit? My heart kept pouncing in excitement while I was hardly waiting for the messages to end.
