GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1863: Full Dedication.



Ragna patiently answered his questions as they toured the facility. Taylor had to stop them many times to ask questions, so the tour was slow going. If he had a note, he would be writing down these lessons.

Eventually, he let Ragna return to showing him around the track and field. Then they went to the weights workout equipment room. Then they went to the nutrition room. Next came the massage room. After that were the assortment of pills available for training.

It was the first time he had seen consumables in games in the shape of pills. These pills could replenish health, mana, stamina, and help to cultivate faster. Their use was endless.

Taylor made sure to take mental notes carefully as they went along. He felt that he had to put in all of his effort, both physical and mental, into this game after almost failing to pass the survival trial the second time.

He didn't plan to enjoy the game before, but his dedication to treat God's Domain as a job he had never had has only increased after facing the question of how far he was willing to sacrifice for his mother.

He realized that he wasn't willing to risk his life for his mother, but he became dedicated to doing anything else for her. He remembered the old woman who beheaded someone's head without hesitation and promised himself to be more like her.

His promise meant he had to put in all of his effort short of risking his life. So he paid full attention to everything Ragna had to say and asked questions many times. He didn't walk around absentmindedly like the others or take the tour as simple sightseeing.

Ragna led him from the hall on the first floor to the logdes on the second floor, the training facilities on the third floor, the nutrition and pills on the fourth floor, and finally the library of skills and spells on the fifth floor.

The spirit said to him, "This is probably the most important place for you trainees. It is where you should spend most of your training points."

Taylor looked around and didn't see anything fancy about the fourth floor. It was just a series of numbered rooms without windows. All their doors were sealed too, so he couldn't see anything about their functions.

He asked immediately, "What are they for?"

Ragna explained, "You will enter them to receive a mana skill or spell."

Taylor nodded and let Ragna lead him to the sixth floor. They could have used the stairs or elevator, but Ragnarok teleported them directly to it like he usually does. What Taylor saw there made him gawk in awe and freeze in fear.

He saw figures whose size reached beyond the room into the sky. The fifth floor had a roof of glass so he could see them. There was no way their bodies could fit in the training facility at all. They were so tall that he looked like an ant before them. It didn't help that all of them were staring down at him as if he were in an ant hill.

He couldn't see any distinct feature about them since they were all glowing too bright for his eyes to make out. They were so bright that he didn't know where they ended or where they began. So he didn't know how many of them there were, only that they were very tall.

Ragna said to him, "These are the gods of God's Domain. They are not every god in God's Domain. They are just the ones who have the power and resources to turn you into a hero." "They will watch your performance for the one year that this training will go on, and if it pleases them, they will offer you a hero class. So their opinion of you is very important to your success in God's Domain."

"They can do this even if you don't reach the first 10 on the ranking list. But you will surely become a hero if you reach the top 10. In fact, it is likely that you will get offers from numerous gods if you reach the top 10."

Taylor was trying his best to listen to Ragna, but the sight of so many gods was messing with his mind. He actually felt pain and pressure on his mind when he looked at them, but he couldn't stop looking at them because they were so awe inspiring.

Ragna continued to explain, but its voice was calm and its tone gentle. "To become a hero is your end goal for this training. It is the finish line. I have brought you here to show you where the finish line is and to also help you get started on the race."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"You need the gods for a class. Only they can grant it to you. Without a class, you will not have access to Mana, and you will not be able to grow stronger. This is your short-term and immediate goal."

Taylor swallowed and nodded in understanding. He asked, "How do I gain their help for a class?"

Ragna replied, "There are two ways to get the class from them. You can try the least difficult missions to earn training points. Then you can use the training points to buy a class of your choosing. You can also get the training points from others and use them to buy your class."

"The second option is to please the gods. Show them a talent or something. Amuse them and make them laugh. If it pleases them, they will give you a class. This option is free and without danger, but you will not have a choice in which class you get."

Taylor nodded numbly. He had a lot to think about. He wanted to turn away, but he had more questions to ask. He said, "You said I could bring this power out to the real world. Is that really true?"

A/N: Real talk. What would you be willing to do in God's Domain if you had the opportunity to participate in it and gain power in real life?
