GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

So only Black Knife was able to get a legendary weapon. But that wasn't enough for Black Knife to be appreciated as much as the guy who took second place.

It made him wonder. "Black Knife is clearly smarter, but how strong is AB for 27 gods to want him?"

He squinted in the direction of AB TFuck and actually saw more details about him. He was able to see his level, HP, focus, and stamina. Tfuck was not the only one whose data he could see. He could see the data of everyone in his sight.

He shook his head in amusement and chuckled. "This finally feels like a game. It isn't much, but I will know not to take on someone with twice my levels."

Levels don't translate to power in God's Domain. In fact, it is not in the equation for power at all. But it affects the number and quality of skills that an entity possesses.

Not only that, it indicates the total number of attributes that someone possesses. So the ability to see the level and the current health, focus, and stamina level will help him gauge a target's threat better.

He was thinking about its usefulness when he remembered one of his perks. It made him grin and said, "Not that I will need to be too cautious. With the protection system, as long as I am not captured, everything will be fine."

The difference in his attitude now and before he became a hero is stark. He was dreading leaving the training facility before. But now he is looking forward to letting loose and enjoying God's Domain.

Unfortunately, he has to wait because not everyone was as fast as him when it came to signing the contract. Some were faster. They didn't go read the contract at all. They just chose one based on the ranking of the gods that offered them.

They didn't think it was important enough to read. They still hadn't truly understood that this world shouldn't be considered just a game.

There were others who were even more serious than him. They were still going through each line over and over again. There were others who didn't like what they read. They were hesitant to sign it because they didn't like some things.

After a while, Ragna clapped to draw everyone's attention. He said, "Our meeting ends here. So does your training. It doesn't matter how you performed this past year; what matters is that you know a little about what to expect in the world out there."

"For your information, you don't have to sign the contract at all, and you don't have to sign it now. There is no one that will force you to sign a contract. So you can take your time or reject the contract outright."

"That aside. I will recommend that you sign the contract now if only for the fact that the contract will not remain available forever. Just like you can reject it, the gods can withdraw it too and offer it to someone that will be more appreciative of it."

"But don't rush into making a decision. The fact that you are hesitant is already enough reason to take your time. I hope you will make the decision that is right for you."

"As for those who are not plagued with the choice between becoming heroes or not, I have one last piece of advice for you. Get a resurrection stone as soon as possible. It will help you fix the location of your resurrection and will quicken your resurrection depending on its quality."

Then he clapped again. "We will go our separate ways now. I wish all of you good luck. Goodbye."

The far end of the hall opened. The entire wall sank into the ground to reveal a large world. Wind rushed into the hall. It brought with it a myriad of smells, many of which they had never perceived before. They could hear various sounds and see various sights.

Taylor followed the throng of people as they walked out. His eyes were opened wide in awe. Even his mouth was ajar. The world was simply beautiful. It was breathtaking.

Apparently their training facility was at the edge of a forest. Behind them was the forest in all of its glory. Most of the trees were more than 100 meters tall.

These enormous trees were not the oddities. They were the norm. Most of the birds and creatures they saw were also big. They fit into the environment nicely. It was the trainees that were small and out of place.

In front of them was a grass plain. There were squirrels the size of dogs and butterflies the size of birds frolicking on this grassy plain.

These creatures were startled when the trainees began to enter the grass plain. They ran away in fear too.

This made him shake his head and say, "You didn't need to run. We are more scared of you than you think."

The sounds in their immediate surroundings quieted down after many creatures ran away. But the difference was only a little. There were still a lot of sounds coming from the forest behind them.

Beyond the grass plain were the signs of civilization. There was even a large city in the distance. It had high walls made of rocks. There was a large castle at the center of this city. Different types of races were coming and going across the streets of the city.

Everything he saw gave Taylor a medieval fantasy impression. He has seen worlds like this before, but it has never felt so real before. He can feel the wind blowing across his skin and smell the various hints of plants and earth in it. It didn't feel any different from Earth.

He mumbled to himself, "It might even be better."

He fell onto the grass and rolled around on it. The feeling of on his skin that would have irritated him in real life only made him whoop for joy. He was just too happy to care.
