The gods were making it obvious that they’d been waiting for him when he got there that night, the three of them practically staring him down by the time he’d arrived with the one he gave his faith being the first to speak.

“Ben, what job did you take.”

It wasn’t a question, they needed to know. The amount of experience it required was frankly unexplainable and word was sure to get out about it eventually when he saw Verbum or the soul mages again. It was better they knew sooner than later.

“Okay, but first I just want you to remember that I have a very good reason for why I picked it-”

“No stalling, what is it already?”

“World killer.”

“…Of course it is.”

Myriad sounded tired more than anything else when he gave the reveal, making Ben feel practically compelled to at least try to explain himself.

“When I looked at my options I wanted to pick a job that would give me the best bonuses across the board that I could get. After feeling how good those soul mage bonuses were, how could I not? From the name alone, it seemed like the most likely candidate to give me them.”

“Maybe so but the experience cost is frankly terrible,” Nare sighed. “No matter how right you were, the requirement is outrageous.”

“Yeah, so here’s the thing. It wasn’t what I expected when I took it. I wouldn’t call this a third-tier job, I’d say it’s a fourth-tier one. Everything it gave me had divine bonuses.”

That changed the feeling of the realm immediately, with Helori rushing towards him, already ready to plunge her arms into his chest.

“There’s no record of any job that powerful ever existing before,” She said in her excitement while she touched his soul, Ben just letting it happen in exchange for the more positive energy she was bringing to the realm than had been there only moments before. “What exactly did you get your bonuses to?”

“All of my attributes.”

“You won the lottery. Skills?”

“Ahem, my apocalyptic ones.”

While both Myriad and Nare looked justifiably horrified hearing that, Helori was still focused on the practical.

“Which exactly does that entail? A job that good, it had to have leveled every single one that applies.”

“Material manipulation, ill will, aim, hive mind, extraction enhancement, and bite enhancement. It also awakened my intelligence enhancement and gave me the skills destruction inclination and evil inclination.”

“Of fucking course it did,” Myriad muttered, with Helori not noticing the minor outburst while Nare gave the cube a comforting pat.

“And how easy have they been to level since?” She questioned. “I’d assume your awakening intelligence enhancement could have more to do with the attribute bonuses than the skill ones but at the same time, there’s no reason to think having a more powerful mind wouldn’t be viewed as something befitting the idea of causing an apocalypse. Personally, I find that more likely than biting things to be applicable.”
