In the Mondia building...
EEEEOOOOO-EEEEOOOO—
The alarm sounded again, but this time with greater intensity.
The room's colours turned red and the employees panicked—looking at the huge screen in front.
"「 A player has awakened the Apostle Class [Thunder Disciple] 」"
"What? There's no way!"
Every single one of the employees spoke in a hurry and raised the office's volume larger from amazement.
"Apostle class?? The first player to unlock it.."
"What?"
The same brown haired man—the manager, entered the office with an astounded face.
'An apostle class..?'
It couldn't be.
'There were six different classes all created by three different people: three created by one developer, another two created by another and lastly..'
The manager remembered another developer.
"There's also 'that' person who created this class, but his whereabouts are unknown."
And unfortunately,
'I can't even ask the developer himself about the class as he made everything and never revealed a single detail to anyone. Including, the CEO himself.'
The manager was cut off by Holly as he ran towards him,
"Manager!"
The red-haired woman appeared to the side.
To which she acted not so different from last time,
"There is no information on this class at all."
"Yes, and we cannot let any other department know about this, because if we do, I'll miss my chance at recognition from the CEO."
"And a promotion for the entirety of our department!"
He spoke louder to make everyone in the department hear.
"Everyone.."
He navigated to another employee.
The main big screen turned black which,
—Attempted to display me.
"Manager, w-we can't get access to the player 'Xela' for his gameplay. Something's blocking us."
"What?"
The manager, for the third time, looked in surprise at the message on the computer preventing them from getting access to looking at my player account.
'Access Denied: Player is in a restricted area not allowed to be viewed by anyone but 'DeveloperID011'.'
'Please ask for permission from 'DeveloperID011' for access to view this player.'
"Dammit, where could he possibly be on the map for there to be no access?!"
* * *
"??????"
I laid down, extremely confused once again.
"Uh, who are you?"
"Who am I?"
The dark-elf looked at me with a completely oblivious face while turning her head to the side.
"Yes, who are you?"
"Didn't the Almighty tell you that, himself?"
"The.. Almighty?"
My eyes trembled at the nonsense she was spouting.
First of all, 'she acted just like a chunibyo'.
Second.
'She acts like she already knows who I am, and expects me to think the same.'
And lastly,
"Is the Almighty supposed to be the guy called.. uh, 'The One Who Controls The Clouds'?"
"Stop!"
She raises her hand towards my face and leaves it there, an inch away. Making a stop sign.
Looks to the side in disbelief.
"Never. Call our Almighty that. Only regard him as 'The Almighty'."
Huh?
What the fuck?
The Almighty?
I couldn't tell whether I was in an illusion or if this was reality.
But even if this was an illusion created by the developers for stealing the stone, it was way too stupid to believe.
