Chapter 10 SS Rank Talent.
It was 3 years after the second apocalypse that mankind first made contact with other races. The first came the elves who were looking to invite humanity to the Fantasia alliance.
An Alliance made by Elves, Dwarves, and orcs, these three major races that had a lot of power, Banded together with some of the lesser races to save their races from the common threat of demons and other evil races of the Abyss. Although the demons had a much more powerful enemy the Alliance, which was the Celestials, The complete opposite of demons. The War the demons had started with these races was just to gather resources to fight against the Celestials.
They saw how a portal to the Abyss had formed on earth and soon deemed it to be a planet that would be conquered relatively soon, not expecting that it would last for quite a while against the invasion of the Abyss.
When they visited they were soon disappointed by the lack of power humanity had and the only reason the planet wasn't taken over was that a relatively weak layer of the abyss had attacked it, coupled with the distance between the land the demons conquered and the land where most
of the humans existed.
They were left disappointed but still left a few methods for humanity to contact them for help if they ever needed it.
The Alliance had hoped for the new race but were quickly disappointed by them, mainly by the fact that the humans had no Noteworthy quality.
For the Orcs, The frail body of humans was a liability.
For the elves, The pathetic affinity humans had to the elements was trash.
For the dwarves, They could not stand the fact that humanity prided itself on its technology when to them it was so primitive.
All these factors led to the races quickly leaving disappointed.
However, they still left some techniques and blueprints for the humans to help measure and quantify their newfound powers.
The Affinity checking and Talent measurement orb were great gifts to humans.
The talent measurement orb measured the talent ranks of individuals according to the amount of mana absorbed and showed it in terms of colors, it went as:
F Rank:Green
E Rank:Purple
D Rank:Red
C Rank:Pink
B Rank:Blue
A Rank:Brown
S Rank:Yellow
SS Rank:White
SSS Rank:Black
The ranks were then further divided into subranks. If your Stat rank showed a - Sing after it then it was in the low tier, No sign Middle tier, and + Sign High tier and you were close to breaking through the - rank of the next tier.
Affinity measurements went differently. It was mainly dependent on the environment changes when the individual put their hand on the orbs.
If the environment around the individual started to heat up then they possessed the fire affinity, The grade of the affinity was based upon the magnitude of change to the environment. If there's a great change, Take for example the surroundings caught on fire then the individual most likely possessed a higher grade affinity.
______________________________________________
I walked out of the Field, Stopping by the door that led to the outside hallway, I found a couch nearby and quickly took a seat.
Based on my calculations the offers would be coming in right aboooouuuttt.... now.
BAM!
Exactly on time, the door opened with such speed I couldn't even see and dozens of people who were all wearing nice suits entered, The moment they spotted me sitting on a couch
they flocked over to me as little birds flocked to their mother who was about to feed them.
With their thunderous voices, they began to scream.
"Will you like to join the star fall Guild? We will offer you the best training facilities and even admission into shield!!"
"Please join our Darkness Guild!!"
I was immediately bombarded with requests to join their guilds when suddenly, A frightening pressure descended upon the area. Causing me to wince in a slight amount of pain.
Immediately after the pressure bore down the crowd in front of me separated and four figures surrounded me.
They each were representatives of the Union, And the top three guilds, which were Titan, Behemoth, and Twilight.
"Pleased to meet you Alan Peccator, I am a representative from the Union and am here to invite you to the Union. "
"The government can't raise a talent like him, My name is Samuel Jitt and I would like to invite you to the Number one guild on Earth, Titan."
"Nonsense, He deserves to be in our behemoth guild!"
Out of all four figures only the one from twilight remained quiet, seemingly looking resigned to his fate as he would never be able to combat the other representatives because honestly, Twilight was the weakest one here.
But no matter if he said anything or not I was already going to choose Twilight.
Not because of the cringe name but because they had no calamity magnets within.
And what did I mean by calamity magnets?
I meant the protagonists of The Ultimate Sin. All three groups had one of the Five protagonists within them, The Union Had two even!
First of all was Elijah, The Main protagonist who would later join the Union and the daughter of the number one ranked Awakened hero and president of the Union Harrison Soubuelle, Serena Soubuelle.
Titan Had Elena Parker, Daughter of the guild master of the Titan Guild, James Parker
Behemoth had Henry Fornum, Grandson of the guild master of the Behemoth Guild Steven Fornum.
The fifth One was also a girl from a highly influential family, She was Sabrina Wellington,
The 'Princess of the Wellington's.
No way in hell was I going to be involved with any of them. No way, They were complete danger magnets, Every event in the novel was linked to them and they survived against death again and again. The Entirety of the demons and villains were after them.
So no way In Hell was I ever getting involved with them.
With my recent performance, there was a very high chance that I would meet them more than preferred if I went to any of the three organizations! My dream to live leisurely and lavishly would be destroyed. So I started with pure confidence in my voice.
"I want to join the twilight guild. "
The three people that were arguing suddenly looked at me, the twilight guilds recruiter also did as well, with confusion on their faces. The Titan Guild representative asked me.
"My apologies for asking this but why do you want to go to twilight? We can offer much better services than them!"
I nonchalantly replied.
"Just because."
All of them just stared at me, Dumbfounded.
Before anyone of them could speak I turned to the Twilight guild representative.
"Can we please discuss the terms of the contract in private?"
The Twilight guilds representative, having renewed vigor In his eyes, Joyously said to me.
"Yes! Please follow me we will discuss the details of the contract inside the guild headquarters."
I followed him and he took me outside of the Union Building and took me to a Black and Purple Car that looked gorgeous
Gesturing me to get inside I entered the car and we were soon off to Twilight Guilds Headquarters.
