I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

“Hahaha, I’m just stating the obvious,” I shrugged while laughing. But my eyes were all focused on her face and reaction.

She smiled a sweet one that made my heart dance. I dunno why I was this happy or excited but it was a good feeling that I never felt before.

“Oh, having a party already without inviting us?” Just before we could eat a single piece of meat in peace, that annoying voice came to disturb the moment!

“Jumper… What are you doing here?” I gave this dude a warning glare but he seemed to totally ignore it.

“Guys, guys, come, Hye is having a party for our win.”

Damn! This dude shouted with all his might and the next moment I saw many silhouettes running from two different directions.

“Why are you doing this man?” I looked at him with a deep hatred, a look that he welcomed with a teasing laugh.

“It’s a party for all of us, right?”

“Oh, we have a party! Yeah!” The first to arrive was Angelica who seemed to literally teleport herself to here. I knew the moment was screwed.

That jumper… Did I kill him before in my past life or what to have such a grudge against me? And here I was holding back his secret. What? Do you want me to share it with everyone else here or what?

“Why are you giving me such a look?” without being invited, he sat first before everyone else took a place around the box.

“It’s just not a decent thing to eat man’s food without asking,” I looked at him while weighing if I should open my vault of secrets and snap him to everyone here or keep it hidden for now.

“Let them be,” but the warm hearted Karoline leant slightly over my side and added in a soft tone that melted all the annoyance in my heart, “I already got what you want to do… Thanks for all this by the way.”

“Got what?” Isabella was stuffing a big piece of meat in her mouth before adding in a muffled tone, “this food was all cooked by our chiefs.”

“And I was the one to tell them how to do it, right?” I rolled my eyes at her while she giggled in a way that looked vicious in my eyes.

“Let’s eat then,” Alex sat and looked at the meat in a droll way, “I never tasted meat after the apocalypse. How did you get it?”

“Ask your girl,” I turned to Angelica who was eating like this was the last meal in her life, “she also has a lot of meat in her inventory.”

“Oh, is that true?” Alex gave Angelica a look that made the latter look at me in a blaming way.

Girls! You crushed my little moment with Karoline without being invited! Don’t blame me then.

“It’s monster meat,” the jumper said as he was the most experienced one here to survive the apocalypse after myself, “it’s not that bad!”

He added when Alex showed a look of disgust over her face while Karoline seemed to be surprised. Yet my girl didn’t stop eating before saying:

“If we lost everything in the apocalypse, we need to adapt and learn new stuff.”

That was my girl! Yes, that was right indeed.

“But…” Alex felt a little nauseated as she covered her mouth with her palm.

“If we don’t cook them, we’ll die out of hunger even before they face us,” I spoke before adding, “plus there are many benefits regarding this meat. Take that monster for example…”

I pointed at the killed dark realm monster which was still looking as majestic as ever. Even after all this time, my warriors couldn’t even scrap one tenth of it!

“It has a high cultivation base plus enormous amounts of nutrients. Eating it will boost our strength to new heights.”

“Then we should cook it!” Angelica said in glimmering eyes.

“We can’t,” I wanted to do so indeed, but not for now, “we need to first delve into the path of cultivation before eating such a behemoth.”

“A path of cultivation? What does that even mean?” Leo asked and he seemed a bit nervous while eating this meat for no obvious reasons.

Guys! Girls! This meat wasn’t poisoned! I guarantee this as I was also eating it and letting my girl eat it as well.

“It’s a way to make our bodies stronger…” The jumper seemed to find a topic he was interested in and well experienced in. I left the stage for him to talk while I focused my attention solely over Karoline.

“What do you think?” I asked in a low tone to not disturb the ongoing chat. It felt good to let that jumper’s eyes shift away from me for a few minutes.

“It’s amazing!” She confessed, “If we can distribute the way we cook it, then many people won’t die of hunger. Can we do it? Please!”

Girl! Stop looking at me with such mesmerising eyes. I did have a way to send such info to everyone, but it would be a waste to just use it for such a purpose without doubt.

“Let me think of a way,” but under her look and petition, how could I say no directly to her?

“You are the best man, Hye,” she held my arm and hugged it as if she was hugging me instead. For a second there my heart dropped a beat before I felt more nervous.

“No problem,” I said in a slow tone but didn’t try to push her away.

“Look at these two, acting all lovey dovey even in front of us… That’s shameless!” Yet again the distasteful voice of the jumper came to kill the beauty of this moment.

As that dude spoke, Karoline jolted herself away from me and all the eyes here fell on the two of us.

“What?” I asked while moving my eyes around, “do you want to leave us alone for now or what?”

“Not a chance,” the spearhead laughed as if he found a moment to pick back at me for before.

“Keep dreaming!” and the jumper snorted while returning to eat as if he didn’t say anything just now.

“Screw you all,” I stepped up and added, “I’ll leave you to eat and then come to me up there.”

I heard their muffled laughs and even low whispers from my back. At this moment if I didn’t leave I’d have said or done something I’d regret later with all of them.

Just watch, more chances would come for me and Karoline, humph!

As I had nothing else to do, I went first to check over my warriors and that behemoth. The dark realm monster’s body was colossal. Even after all this time and gathering up four different hills of materials that came from its body, it didn’t show any signs of being cut down or anything.

“This one for the meat,” I started to examine the four hills. The first one was a huge meat pile that was made out of cube-like pieces of meat.

Each cube was in the size of half metre in length, width, and height. “Come inside then,” I took everything in that hill away in a few minutes before examining the next one.

“This is for the sharp materials of it… interesting!” The next pile was formed of more unorganised and uneven pieces of the monster. All were sharp and looked quite deadly.

I saw its teeth, parts of one claw that seemed to get smashed when it died. Yet that part alone was enough to fill half of that pile or even more.

I took it all, then moved to the third pile which was related to its organs.

This time I stopped for a longer time and examined these pieces of the organs thoroughly. I couldn’t tell which part of the organ each piece was, but each one was considered a treasure in my eyes.

Thick lining, glimmering solid interior with different lights like they were beating hearts. Each piece weighed more than it looked, and it gave me a dangerous feeling when I tried to carry a few of them.

“Get inside for now,” I didn’t care to examine everything as there were a lot! I took all in and that left the last pile behind.

It was a grand pile of bones! From the shape of it, the bones were from the torso part of that monster. There were many different shaped bones that still emitted black energy in dense amounts.

Just standing ten metres away wasn’t enough to make me feel secure. The air it emitted created a screen of pale darkness that enveloped the entire pile.

“Come inside,” but who said I’d leave them behind like that? The bones seemed to grow stronger the more bones there were in the pile. After taking everything away and gulping a healing potion just in case, I shouted at one of my warriors to come.

“These bones must be scattered around the ground,” I said while pointing at one piece of long flat bone that looked like a big scapula in my eyes, “each one must be ten metres apart, do you get it?”

“Roar!” it was a Bulltor and he roared in response to my words.

“Good lad,” I patted him on the shoulder before adding, “go and inform others.”

“Roar!” This time the roar came from a different direction than my Bulltor, and it was followed by more roars.

“What’s going on?” without thinking too much about it, I ventured directly towards that direction.

As I climbed the big body of that killed monster, I found many big holes that were formed by my boys. Only a few of them were left after the big battle that happened here.

And at the direction of that monster’s last heart, the one that was below the only neck it had, I found many of my warriors gathering up while others were roaring from deep inside its body.

“Oh… What do we have here?” As I reached there in a few minutes of running, I found an interesting thing waiting for me there.

There weren’t the three holes which were created by the three races before, but one bigger and much deeper hole that was linked directly with the heart space.

My warriors did a good job in expanding this hole and deepening it. Right now they already cut almost thrice the space of the earlier space. And as they got deeper, I could see the backbones of that monster in the form of giant vertebrae.

Yet near that giant train trail-like bones, I saw something flashing in a deep green light. It was like a bubble formed by some sort of energy to protect something.

And a mixed group of my warriors were surrounding it, roaring as if they were stirred to fight that thing.

“Wait for me,” I shouted to my Bulltors, shield bearers, illusionists, and soulers while I started to carefully descend this hole.

The warriors cut the edges in a sharp , sloppy way, letting me cut the way down and create something like stairs for me to use to climb back up again after finishing here.

“Oh… It’s you!!” As I reached that dark green ball of energy, I could see the form that lay within this bubble.

It was the Curasee, or that what got into my mind the moment I saw that body inside the bubble.

It was a slim and tall body of a building similar to girls not boys. It had a small head, few tentacles coming out from the head mixed with strange curly looking coarse dark green hair.

The eyes were long elliptical and closed with thick eyelids and long slashes. The skin was filled with spots all over, focused at some places and rare at others. Yet they took the form of a whirlpool at the two slender and long cheeks of it.

It was either sleeping in deep slumber or dead. But if that Curasee was dead, then why was that bubble still active?

“There is one way to know the answer for this,” I didn’t hurry to crush that protective bubble and instead opened my profile to look for the answer.
