"If life was a game, then it would definitely be a terrible game that wouldn't sell. — By Roland. "
"If the world of Aichy was a game, then it would definitely be a super piece of sh * t that would make people want to kill the designer's entire family! — By Roland. "
The world wasn't balanced at all. Life was full of hardships. Hard work could change one's fate. Such a convenient life only existed in Knight's novels or Chicken Soup for the Soul.
The reason why the legendary Legends of Heroes were so widely spread was because their experiences were inconceivable and eye-catching. They were the result of countless coincidences and miraculous encounters. As for the Chicken Soup for the Soul's saying, "Only those who love to work hard will win" … Theoretically speaking, it wasn't wrong. You wouldn't win if you didn't work hard. It was probably just that objective conditions, innate conditions, personal background, the direction and method of working hard, the steps to achieve your goal, the 99% chance of failure, and so on were left out.
Alright, that basically didn't count as much. Probably all that was left was a name and the result of success. If everything could be settled just by having a good attitude, then the rules of the world that were so convenient would be unacceptable.
There was no such thing as fairness in this world. Even if a Dragon with a Golden Bloodline slept all day, it would still be able to easily crush an ordinary Gold ranked human when it matured. No matter how hard an ordinary human worked, they would still be unable to defeat a Beastman Warrior of the same rank. Yet, Beastmen Warriors had obvious physical advantages and excellent combat instincts. It was also generally easier for them to advance in rank compared to humans.
Wouldn't it be fine if they were all humans? At the very least, there wouldn't be a huge difference between humans of the same race, right? But in reality, it was the exact opposite. The difference between humans of the same race would be even greater.
The knowledge and funds needed to become a mage were definitely not something an ordinary rich merchant could afford. If you were a genius … well, there wouldn't be much of a difference. Geniuses would grow faster, but they would need more resources in a short amount of time. No matter how much of a genius you were, you would still need magical knowledge, magical materials, and magical books. Archmages didn't even have enough for themselves. Even if they had leftovers, they would give them to their family and friends. Why would they give them to an outsider like you?
Genius? As long as the population was large enough, there would be no lack of geniuses and eccentrics in this world. That was why, unless one was incredibly lucky and was accepted as a personal disciple by a master who didn't lack money, or became a prince or a major noble of some country, a young mage's path of learning would be quite pitiful. Many would risk their lives to earn school fees while they were still newbies.
Marguerite was the most obvious example. She was born as a commoner and spent a considerable amount of time adventuring. The money she earned wasn't even enough for her research, so she grew up with experiences like robbing, stealing, swindling, and so on. Back then, I … Fine, let's not talk about Amelia and Heloise.
Even a SemiGod mage like Amelia was having a headache over research funding, let alone an ordinary mage. Their ability to earn money was directly proportional to their magic level and equipment.
This was the case for Mages who needed funds. Would Warriors and other classes be better off? It was the exact opposite. Classes that required physical training would have even higher requirements for birth. A person's best growth period was only a few years (9 to 16 years old). If they missed out on this golden period and didn't have a solid foundation, then they would never be able to advance in power level in this lifetime.
The poor were scholars, while the rich were martial artists. Large amounts of physical activity would require sufficient nutrition. If one wanted to improve quickly, they would need nourishment as well. One could even use precious medicinal ingredients to break through bottlenecks. However, these weren't things that commoners could afford. Although warriors and other job classes were the most common, the success rate of these job classes was actually the lowest. Most people would never be able to advance in power level in their entire lives.
In this world where power represented status, even basic sword techniques weren't something commoners could come into contact with. It was even easier for one to reach a bottleneck when practicing sword techniques. If one wasn't careful, it would be troublesome if one took the wrong path. Famous families and nobles all had their own sword techniques to pass down. In the legends of heroes, there would also be many miraculous encounters, such as finding a white-bearded old Sword Saint in a ring, or suddenly being recognized by a certain principal. This wasn't something that only existed in this world.
If Adam hadn't met Rolo back in the day, no matter how talented he was or how hard he worked at practicing his sword, he would at most be a city guard who would take an arrow to the knee. Although it was cruel, this was the truth. This was also why Roland said that this world was definitely a terrible game.
The other job classes were about the same. The slightly better job classes were probably the Divine Job Classes. What they valued the most was dedication and loyalty, as well as whether or not one had a good understanding of the True Gods and their teachings.
Priests would typically have to serve the church from a young age. It would be impossible for them to leave the church for the rest of their lives. They would be loyal servants of the True Gods until they died. The requirements to become a Holy Knight were quite low. It was just that the requirements to become a Holy Knight were slightly higher. Their training and supplies would all be quite systematic. However, in the future … Alright, I won't repeat myself. Being a Holy Knight was already pitiful enough, so there was no need to rub salt into their wounds.
Oh, right. There was another job class that also had a very low requirement to become a Holy Knight. This job class would also include a job class. That was the job class: Druil … Yep, the Child of Ambition who wore animal skins (the Wild Bull Faction didn't even use animal skins) and wielded a wooden staff (the Druil couldn't use metal weapons) would welcome you. In the future, you wouldn't even need to use money. It was just that sometimes your work would be rather dangerous, and it would be quite easy for you to be placed on the wanted list. However, if you slept in the wilderness every day, you wouldn't need to worry about paying your mortgage. You also had animal companions and shapeshifting magic, so you wouldn't even need to worry about paying for your car.
All in all, there was a job class that would save you a lot of money. Alright, everyone should have already guessed it. With the Tark Republic as the proof, that job class would be undead mages.
As long as you had the most basic teaching materials, along with free experimental equipment, you could even become a self-taught genius. There would be no upper limit to how powerful you could become, and there would even be additional benefits such as transforming into an undead lich. Apart from the fact that you would be hunted down by the Holy Church and that you would become more and more inhumane if you went astray in your cultivation, there were basically no downsides to this job class.
Cough, it seemed that I'd gotten off topic. Let's get back to the main topic. At this point, everyone should understand that nothing would be easy.
Everyone loved to read legendary stories, and they all hoped to become the main character of a legendary story. They would have endless miraculous encounters, and their power level would constantly increase as they adventured. However, the problem was that there were extremely few main characters with such a life, while the vast majority of people would be mediocre for their entire lives. Only then would a story be truly attractive.
Who wouldn't want a divine weapon? Who wouldn't want outstanding sword techniques? Who wouldn't want precious magical knowledge? That was why it was called a "miraculous" encounter, which was why everyone loved it so much.
Perhaps some people would be willing to be mediocre in the end because their talent and hard work would only allow them to reach that level. However, some people would be stuck in mediocrity because they were lacking something.
Would they regret missing out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Would they be unwilling to spend the rest of their lives alone? Would they like to go one step further? That's possible, as long as you successfully sign a contract with the God of Contracts and become a hero who fights for the mortal plane!
I could already imagine what those people who were unwilling to waste their entire lives would do when the exchange list appeared on every major city's bulletin board. Those who still had great ambitions and ambitions would do.
Your talent in martial arts was poor? You missed out on the golden period of cultivation? Take a look at the Marrow Cleansing Holy Water left behind by the great demons. After drinking it, I guarantee that not even the barbarian tribe leader or beastman royalty would be able to learn martial arts faster than you. Dear, it only costs a thousand Justice Points.
You don't have a great teacher to guide you or powerful martial arts? Dear, you're so lucky. This is the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and Gandalf's Divine Staff. It only costs a hundred Justice Points! Only a hundred Justice Points! You want to learn magic? The Draconic Mad Curses also costs a hundred Justice Points!
What? You've already been stuck at the peak of the Silver rank for ten years. Why don't you try this Elven Spring? It only costs ten thousand Justice Points, and you'll be able to break through your bottleneck within three months. It's a little expensive, but think about it. You're a Gold Master, a Master! From now on, even nobles will have to lower their heads and call you a Master whenever they see you. You'll feel that your life has been worth it!
You're already a Legend? You don't have any other needs? Dear, a Legend Sword Saint with a Superior weapon, and you call that not having any needs? Here's the Sun God's Bow, the Fist of Zeus, and the Chaos Twin Blades. They're all Epic equipment. What? Never heard of them? Of course I've never heard of them. These were just custom-made. There are thirteen different models of the Sun God's Bow. The better, the more expensive, the better. Look, this is the Legendary-level Apollo XIII! It can really shoot down the sun!
What? I don't like it at all. You want a God Equipment? No problem. Find the God of Craftsmen Beni and have it custom-made. If you want a halberd, make a halberd, and if you want a short stick, make a short stick. SemiGod Equipment costs a hundred thousand Justice Points each, Legendary-level Equipment costs ten thousand each, and Superior Equipment costs a hundred! That's cheap.
You insist on a God Equipment? That's fine too. Bring me a God Equipment material. If you kill a SemiGod Undead Emperor, you should be able to obtain one or two God Equipment. Bring it over and we'll help you refine it for free. If it's not a God Equipment, we'll compensate you instead.
I can't beat you? Then there's no helping it. How about you leave the two million Justice Points with me for now? I'll see if there are any bosses willing to sell it to me.
Anyone passing by, come take a look. A SemiGod Equipment replica of the Lich King's sword only costs a hundred thousand Justice Points. It also comes with a set of ice armor and an Evil Ice Cape. I guarantee that you'll look even more like an evil boss than the Lich King.
A hundred-year companion contract with an adult dragon only costs ninety-nine thousand Justice Points. That's even cheaper than a SemiGod Equipment. What? You're asking what this is? Do you know about the Dragon Knight? Just take this and you'll know!
Even if you're a SemiGod, there's something here that you want! You've already seen God Equipment, inheritances, and so on. And if you, a SemiGod, want to become a true God, you'll need a Divine Concept and a Divine Concept. The only way to obtain these things is to slay a God. Are you certain that you'll be able to accomplish this? However, we have a Divine Concept left behind by Rose here, as well as several Divine Concepts under Aillé's system. Would you like to try?
If you don't want to become a God, there are also research notes left behind by powerful SemiGods and dimensional lords. Those are the most foundational secrets.
I'm sorry, these things won't be sold no matter how many Justice Points you have. You'll first have to prove your worth and loyalty before we'll consider it. Of course, having a sufficient number of Justice Points is also a part of the consideration. How about you maintain your position as the number one Justice Point God for a year?
Only the Gods' treasure troves would have more treasures than the dragon's nest. This time, Aillé and his companions were going all out. Looking at the dazzling list of treasures, there were all sorts of wondrous treasures that had long since gone extinct in the world of Aichy. Perhaps even SemiGods would voluntarily serve them.
Of course, the True Gods will also receive a lot of rewards for this. It will be very complicated to explain, but I am afraid that as long as this plan succeeds, at least two of our five mid-level Divine Powers will become Main Gods. This will be the biggest reward.
News spread quite quickly. Since mercenaries were quite common in Eich, most ordinary warriors felt that this was nothing more than another long-term employment contract. The only difference was that the rewards were quite high, and the employer was a God. Ordinary warriors weren't sensitive enough to notice that there was something fishy going on between the True Gods, so how could they possibly refuse such a miraculous encounter?
