Is it Wrong to Copy Abilities in Apocalypse?

Chapter 153: CHAPTER 152 - 50+ Quests.



Gods mostly don't care about humans, not until the said human is in a contract with them.

Once a human signs a contract with them, the human becomes one of their followers, and no matter which god it is, they try to protect their followers, all because they know that the said human has potential.

They don't want to leave a follower with a considerable potential to die without even fulfilling his/her purpose.

But still, they will just try; if things get out of hand and they see themselves losing more than gaining by protecting a certain human, then they would just abandon them.

In the human world, however, some exceptions could make even the gods, who had yet to form a contract with them, to help them when needed.

These exceptions were hard to find, though; rarely ever seen.

One such exception was Alex—a guy who had many gods waiting to get a chance to get themselves unmuted.

Right now, Alex, sitting with his back against the wall of the castle's hall, was staring at the 50+ sponsor quests he had received some hours ago.

His eyes were blank as he went through each and every one of those quests, wanting to pick up the one that could help him the most.

But why did he receive so many quests? Did he do something?

The answer to that was revealed as soon as Alex's full body came into view.

His legs—one of them was missing below the knee.

Blood had stopped flowing out of it, and the skin and muscles in that area had healed up as well, but there was nothing below his knee in the right leg.

Alex, however, was sitting relaxed, even after this, because he knew that he was alone in the castle with no one capable enough to harm him.

Some humans did arrive, wanting to try their luck in this castle, but the moment they arrived, they had their heads pierced by Alex's new heroic-ranked arrow.

Right now, they were all lying dead in the pool of their own blood.

How did Alex lose his leg though?

To know the answer to that, one will have to look back at the scene when Alex was trying to rush out of the room at level 50+.

*Woosh*

The moment he had tried to dash out of the door, the beast had sensed his intentions, making it mad as it found out that it was tricked by a human.

The beast then stood up from its spot, causing the ground to tremble as its large body moved.

Sparks appeared over the body of the beast, and before the tremor from its first step could even die down, it was already standing behind Alex.

*Rumble*

It was then that Alex noticed the rumble, causing him to turn back, only to see the beast's large foot right above him, ready to turn him into a meat paste.

That view caused Alex, the one who rarely showed any emotion, to widen his eyes in panic, trying to speed up, by holding the threshold of the door, wanting to pull himself out of the room by using it.

Alex did succeed in what he was trying to do—he almost escaped the room.

For the beast, however, it was all like a video being played in slow motion, so the moment it saw what Alex was trying to do, it pressed its foot harder.

*BAAASSHHHH—Splatter!!*

Its foot slammed on the floor, and it could feel squishy and slimy human flesh below its feet, but it frowned as it knew that its prey had somehow escaped.

"Gahhhhhh!"

It was then that it heard the painful yet muffled scream of a human, causing its golden eyes to turn toward Alex, who had dragged his body out of the room but was now clutching his leg in pain, getting his teeth as he glared at the beast.

*BAAAAAAMM!*

The beast, knowing full well that it couldn't get out of the room, tried to scare the human by slamming its feet on the door, only to be blocked by a transparent barrier.

Alex, however, kept glaring at the beast, as he gritted his teeth, causing the beast to frown for a bit before it scoffed.

"Huff!"

*Boom**Boom**Boom*...

Walking away from the door, the beast didn't even spare a glance at Alex's glare, trying to taunt Alex, hoping that the human would enter the room in a rage, only to sigh as it saw the human moving away from the place.

The beast was intelligent, and although it was hungry, it didn't lose its mind.

It knew what Alex's glare meant, and it knew how strong Alex was, but that was the reason why it just scoffed.

It knew that Alex couldn't defeat it—not with the power he had.

Alex, on the other hand, while not aware of how intelligent this beast was or what the beast was thinking, could still make out its intention.

He was in pain and dissatisfied with the results, but that didn't mean he would just enter the same room where he almost died; he wasn't strong enough for now.

Alex had made up his mind that no matter when or where, if, by any chance, he were to meet any Biltzodon—it didn't need to be this one in particular—he would always give them a painful death.

There was one thing that he was thankful for though, and it was that the short sword was now in his hands, as he had picked it up at the last second.

Right now, however, he was trying to pick up a quest from the ones he had received, and although all of them provided him with a way to heal his leg or make potions to heal his leg, none of them seemed enticing enough to Alex.

Even the divine healer of mankind—one who gave him alchemical enchantment—was only able to give him a potion.

He could just demand what he wanted by saying out loud, and he was sure that many gods would happily try to do that, but he himself didn't know what he wanted.

It was then that a new notification flashed in front of Alex's eyes, causing him to squint his eyes.

[["It doesn't look like you want to pick any one of them, so how about I give you one?"]]

It was the certain god; her tone relaxed but tinged with tease, causing Alex to frown.

He wasn't going to ask for something, and Alex knew that she was perfectly aware of that, yet she was asking him about it.

So, after a glance at the notification, Alex looked away, not wanting to bother himself with her anymore, but just then, another notification arrived.

[["Well, I was hoping that you would say something, but oh well, I will just give you the quest…"]]

As soon as Alex heard those words, along with the notification appearing in front of him, a new quest appeared, shining brighter than others.

His eyes squinted and his gaze turned a bit sharp as he stared at the new quest in front of him; his expression was contemplative, but he knew that this was just what he was searching for—this was the quest that clicked with him perfectly.

His eyes read the details of the quest without wanting to miss any detail, as although it felt simple, Alex knew that it wouldn't be an easy task—not when the reward was too good.
