Chapter 65: The Occupation

"Where am I?"

There was a huge gate made of gold. Terzo was reluctant about what he would do.

"Do I knock?"

Knock, Knock

After knocking on the huge gate, the gate opened revealing a huge creature in front of him with gray skin.

"Hello there, hmm you are far too young What a pity.."

"Kryger, is it another soul?"

A man with huge wings on his back waved his hands at Kryger. The two were wearing all-white clothing, the two glanced at Terzo.

"So this is the new soul. Well, hello there! I am a Vlerk! For now, let's see if you are a visitor or a soul.."

Vlerk held a small orb.

"Just put your hand here so we can determine if you are a soul or merely a person who is in between aka a visitor.."

Terzo reluctantly placed his hand on the orb, the orb glowed bright yellow.

"What does it say?"

"Hmm yep, it's a soul. Follow us we will tour you around the heavenly world.."

Terzo followed Vlerk, as they entered through the gates. There were huge trees and a white marble floor.

"Welcome to the heavenly world! This is where souls like you come once you die!"

Terzo didn't completely hear what Vlerk had said, he was too mesmerized by the beauty of the place he was in.

"So how about we start the tour?"

"Tour?"

"Yep Tour! After the tour we will accompany you to the heavenly palace, that's where you will be judged as to what you can contribute here.."

"Umm ok..."

"Alright first stop! Is the sacred tree!"

The clerk pointed at the huge tree, For the first time, Terzo had never seen such a huge tree. Not only that, the tree had fruits and glowing orbs around it.

"There are only three sacred trees! The sacred trees are used for us souls for our sustenance! For now, there are only three trees, and each of the trees symbolizes a god."

The clerk pointed at the white tall tree, there were Beastman gathered in the tree. As they stretched their hands, the tree branch would lower and hand them fruits.

"This beautiful golden tree symbolizes our god, Lux, this tree is only for the Beastmen race.."

Next Vlerk pointed to another tree, the tree had a red color, with red fiery leaves.

"That tree symbolizes the god of the ogres and goblins, the god Orcus! That tree is the one who provides sustenance for the ogres and goblins!"

The third tree had black leaves, three people were forming a line as they each stretched their hands.

"That tree is for the human race, currently there are only 3 humans who have arrived here. That tree is for their god, Detruire, and is solely for the humans"

"The trees provide fruits for each race, let's go over there!"

Terzo followed Vlerk, they were walking through the village. Terzo saw many wolf Beastman and other Beastman who had different ears and tails. The white marble floor and the houses of the Beastman looked a bit different from the ones he had known.

"We have arrived!"

There was a huge forest.

"This forest is for every creation, if you want to eat meat you have to hunt. But I can tell ya, even if you are a complete newbie you will surely find scrumptious meat!"

There was also a lake, Terzo could even see some Beastman, and ogres carrying all sorts of animals.

"So, I will explain to you what I meant by your contribution here in the heavenly world, well it's sort of a job solely for a creation"

"A job?"

"Yes, once you enter the temple, you will be given a job based on your life's performance. For example, that Beastman over there, when he was still alive had great talent in hunting, as such when he came here, the gods gave him a job as a huntsman"

"Oh.."

"That one over there had a talent for skinning animals, thus the gods gave him a job as butcher"

"So you ready to go to the temple?"

"Umm okay.."

Terzo followed Vlerk, they headed inside the huge palace, and at the center was a small temple.

"The palace is only for the gods, but if you are given a mission just like the others then the gods will grant you permission inside."

The two stopped in front of the temple.

"You should go now.."

"Oh umm alright!"

Terzo entered the small temple, in the temple were three statues of the gods, and at the center was a small well.

Terzo gazed at the small well, the well's color started to change into bloody red.

"What's happening?"

The water with a blood-red color showcased a man, the man had vermillion-colored hair, and red and green eyes, suddenly The man started to float into the sky.

The man stretched both his hands as if putting on a show. The unknown man's hair suddenly dyed black, his eyes turned black, and his eyes started to bleed. The man had two huge horns on it's head holding a huge sharp sword on both hands.

On the back of the man sprouted two huge red bloody wings. The man's eyes were filled with abyss, and his tears were falling.

On the ground were numerous grotesque creatures, while on the other side were humans, ogres, goblins, Beastman, and other races.

The man fell to the ground and stretched his hands revealing a black abyssal ball. The man threw the ball with slight boredom, and in just a few seconds of the ball hitting a person, the ball exploded creating a huge crater on the ground.

The man with a scary and devilish smile yawned of boredom looking at the forces in front of him.

"How...boring"

The man raised his hand holding the right sword.

"Kill these failures.."

The huge crowd of monsters followed his words and suddenly started rampaging. The man flew into the air and landed on a huge throne. The man was smiling while watching the suffering and pain, the screams of agony had enticed the man.

"Insects.."

The man raised his right hand sluggishly and clouds started forming, it suddenly began to rain. But the color of the rain wasn't blue, it was bloody red. As if he was a god, the rain had only fallen to the others, meanwhile, on top of his head, there wasn't a single cloud.

The opposing side began to tremble in fear, the red bloody rain started to burn like an acid to their very flesh.

The screams of terror, and pain swallowed the whole battlefield. The man watched with amusement as bodies started to pile up one by one, like a god who doesn't even care about measly lives.

Terzo watched the whole scene trembling.

The man had a huge army of monsters, leading them to conquer each country and island.

"M-Monster.."

"Yes, truly that person in the well is a monster."

Terzo looked back to see his goddess Lux standing.

"G-Goddess!"

"You have seen the destruction that monster had done right? What can you describe the person in the well.."

Terzo was confused as to why the goddess would ask him about a person he didn't even know. But he still answered the question.

"Ruthless, merciless, a creature that acts like a god and finds pleasure for the damage it had caused..."

"Correct Terzo, a creature who loves destruction, a creature who pleasures of the people it had killed.."

Terzo glanced back at the well, two individuals were holding a sword and a shield.

He felt the connection between the two adults, with red long hair and red eyes. The man held a huge long scythe meanwhile the other one had orange hair and green eyes. The man was wearing full golden armor and holding a huge hammer.

The two were creating a path for the others and had killed many of the monsters.

The one with red hair was jumping from enemy to enemy, enveloping his whole body with a red aura, he would swing his scythe to every enemy. The other one was covered in a golden radiant aura, the man was holding a huge shield and hammer, and he created a path for the others.

"The well would showcase your occupation.."

"Occupation?"

The man with the red scythe got closer to the monster sitting on the throne. He swung his scythe, his scythe had a long chain, he would throw the scythe and use the chain to get it back.

The other man holding the shield also swung his hammer at the nonchalant man not moving an inch on his throne.

"Hah, this is getting boring.."

"Hah! Take this!"

Whoosh

Clang

Bang!

The man sitting on the throne was still sitting with both his hands holding each of the weapons that had swung onto him.

"Weak.."

"Truly how weak.."

The two individuals backed off and created a distance between the person on the throne.

"Amuse me will ya?"

The man stood up holding his two huge swords and swiftly moved, he disappeared and reappeared behind the man holding the shield.

"I'll fucking slit your throat tehehe"

With a huge beaming smile, the monster rested both his swords on the man's neck.

"The well not only shows the occupation you would be given, but it will also show a fragment of the future"

"Huh?"

Terzo glanced at the blue screen, it was the same screen he saw at the dungeon.
