"It's good to see you again, Mr . Lee!"
"Yes, it's good to see you, too . " It was difficult to ignore Akashwi as he drew closer .
-Why did we have to run into each other here, of all places?-
I should have known something like this would have happened when I overheard the villagers talk about the Ravi Guild .
"What brings you all the way here to India?"
"I had some errands to run . I just finished and was on my way back," I replied simply . I didn't want to get tied up with them, especially when they were in the middle of a conflict .
"I see . " Akashwi noticed the distance I was putting between us and made a slightly dejected expression .
At that moment, I heard someone walking towards us . It was Lagus Aman . In the past, he was the leader of the Liberation Army and was known as the Demon Lord . He was a powerful deva who would attempt to free controlled dungeons from the clutches of large guilds through battle, and he almost always came out the victor .
I was always happy to hear whenever Lagus would crush all those rich and powerful bastards under his foot . I always thought they had it coming when they laughed and ridiculed the weak for crawling in the dirt, struggling to find a reason to live .
"Hello . I've heard quite a bit about you . I'm Lagus Aman . "
"It's a nice to meet you . I'm Lee Jiwon . I've heard many things about you as well . " I shook his hand .
"It's rare for us to meet like this . Could you spare a bit of your time for some tea?"
"Umm…" It was hard to reject his humble offer . Hell, he was one of my biggest heroes in the past; I couldn't just pass up this opportunity .
"Very well . " I followed Lagus and Akashwi to a hastily-pitched tent . Inside the tent, I met the Ravi Guild master, Sandip, and Lagus's younger sister, Sonura .
"And this is…"
"I am Muskan Ip," a woman introduced herself . She was of darker skin than the Amans and didn't seem to be a part of their family .
"Yes… hello . My name is Lee Jiwon . " I found it strange that a woman who was not of the Aman family was here as well, but I brushed it off . It wasn't my business .
The six of us took our seats .
"The news of your battle against the Blood Prince made quite the waves here in India . "
"Thank you . "
"I didn't expect you to declare war against the San Tuan Guild, as well . "
"Things just happened like that…" We made some more small talk after that, and talked a little about what happened in the King-Emperor's Tomb . I knew for a fact that things weren't looking well for the Ravi Guild, but purposely didn't bring it up .
About five minutes later, however, Lagus put on a serious expression and called out to me . "Mr . Lee . "
"Yes?"
"I don't know if you have heard, but the Ravi Guild is in dire straits . We are currently being pushed back heavily by the number one and two guilds of India . It's shameless of us to ask this of you, and I'm terribly sorry about this . It's just that we have nowhere else to turn…would you lend us your strength?"
" . . . " I remained silent .
"This war isn't over territory or resources . It's a struggle to break us free of an unjust custom of our lands . There isn't much time left until that struggle is over . " Lagus explained about why they were fighting, but his words fell on deaf ears . I already knew how the war ended . No, that wasn't right . I could guess what the outcome was based on the past and current situations .
If the Ravi Guild were to win the war, then Lagus would not have a reason to form the Liberation Army and travel around the world . In other words, Lagus and the Ravi Guild would have to lose the war .
-Why is it always the losing team that sticks it hands out to me?-
I was slightly annoyed at how the losers of the past all came to me for help . It happened in Egypt, and it was happening here .
-Then again, I guess it's obvious they would . The victors wouldn't need help . -
"If you help us, we'll properly compensate you for your efforts . I know it's a difficult decision, but we won't ever forget it if you do decide to help us," Sandip added .
That seemed fair . It would be nice to have someone as powerful as Lagus Aman owe me a favor .
"Please, help us . The Descendant of the God of Destruction is 92% complete . It won't be long until it is ready," the woman, Muskan, said after being silent the whole time .
"Descendant of what?" I asked Muskan . Whatever it was, it sounded formidable . . .
"Yes, it's a random skill called the Descendant of the God of Destruction…"
"That's enough . " Sandip stopped Muskan from speaking more . That just made me more curious .
"You ask for my help, but you're keeping secrets . That doesn't sit well…"
"There are no secrets . Descendant of the God of Destruction: Reveal," Muskan quickly said .
==[Descendant of the God of Destruction (1/1), (Passive) – Activating (92%)

:

Dying before the skill's activation will delete the skill . ]==
I was completely floored at the skill's effects . I definitely knew more about this world than anyone else . Sure, I existed at the bottom of the food chain, but I heard plenty of rumors and learned about pretty much everything that went on in the rest of the world . There was no way I couldn't have known about such an overpowered skill such as this .
No one would have kept quiet about this random skill . Anyone would have gone around, bragging that they got a skill this overpowered . Whoever owned this skill would probably join in on whatever large conflict or battle that occurred and soon, everyone would know about the skill .
-But I don't remember there being this sort of random skill . -
I racked my brain, but found no memory of anything like that . Even if the devas in India kept to themselves, there was no way they could keep quiet about this skill . Soon, the pieces fell together .
-If it got out that a low-caste deva obtained such a powerful skill, they were probably shitting themselves scared and dealt with it before it became a problem . -
"Please, help us . The end is close . "
I ignored Muskan and turned to Sandip . "I don't think I can help you," I said as respectfully as possible . I still respected Lagus for what he did or would do, and I understood why they were fighting, but I put my foot down .
" . . . "
" . . . "
"Why not?" Lagus and Sandip seemed to understand why I turned them down and didn't say anything, but Muskan didn't seem to get it .
At first, I was inclined to help Lagus, but when she showed me her skill, I changed my mind completely . That skill shouldn't exist, especially if it wasn't mine . I didn't see Muskan as my enemy, of course, but it would be stupid to let such a weapon like that exist when I didn't know when it could be fired at the back of my head .
If someone else held a weapon of such caliber, I was going to lose . It didn't matter if that person was an enemy or an ally; my own future was at stake!
I stared at the shocked Muskan . There were others who would deal with her soon, but if there weren't, I would have dealt with her myself . I would kill her, even if it meant making Lagus my enemy .
I stood up from my chair . There was nothing more to say . A good relationship with Lagus Aman? Hah! That all ended as soon as she revealed her fucking skill . "I am needed elsewhere, so I'll be taking my leave now," I said as bluntly as possible, so that no one would get any ideas . They must have gotten the clue, and didn't say anything .
As soon as I headed to the tent flap, a shocking message appeared before me .
==[You have been chosen to be a Comrade of the Slumbering Descendant of the God of Destruction (2/2) .
Protect your comrade who has yet to be awoken . Up to two comrades can be recruited .
If the Descendant of the God of Destruction successfully awakes, you will receive a huge reward .
If the Descendant of the God of Destruction fails to awaken, you will receive a huge punishment . ]==
I felt a rage bubble inside me as I read through the message . I had just clearly turned them down . I pulled my spear out of my inventory and turned around, my eyes full of disgust and anger . "What… is the meaning of this?" I asked, my voice cold with rage .
For a second, I noticed that the Amans were looking at me in confusion . They didn't know what had just transpired . However, Lagus quickly figured it out and turned to Muskan . "You didn't…?"
"I did . I chose Mr . Lee as my second comrade, just as I made Lagus my first . Mr . Lee is powerful . If we have the aid of someone as…"
"Shut your fucking mouth!" I didn't want to hear what she had to say . I walked over to Muskan who jumped at my shouting, my right hand holding my spear menacingly . "Undo what you just did! Now!"
"You must help us! At least help those trampled by the bastards of the upper caste . I can use the power of the God of Destruction to save my people! Please, lend me your strength!" Muskan begged me, but her words fell on deaf ears .
I didn't care if it would end world hunger; I wasn't going to help if it didn't profit me . I was not going to help someone who had the potential of screwing me over . I grabbed Muskan by her collar .
==[You have been chosen to be a Comrade of the Descendant of the God of Destruction .
Until the Descendant of the God of Destruction successfully awakens or fails to awaken, both the Descendant and the Comrades are unable to harm one another . ]==
"Ha… I can't undo it once I make you a comrade . "
I ground my teeth in anger at what Muskan said and at what the message just now entailed . I shifted my anger towards the Amans . Sure, I accepted their invitation; that was my own fault . But they should have told me about this first! Sandip even tried to silence Muskan about the skill . In other words, they were going to keep it hidden from me while they asked for my help . They should have stopped Muskan when I turned them down . It was because of them that I was in this shit!
"Mana Conversion – Lightning, Warrior's Brave Spirit . "

==[Warrior's Brave Spirit Level 1 has been activated . ]==
I didn't try to hide my anger and annoyance . I bared my teeth like an enraged beast . I didn't care if my opponent was the powerful and famous Lagus Aman!
The guards posted outside noticed my bloodlust and entered the tent, weapons drawn . The other twenty thousand guild members gathered around the tent, as well!
One versus twenty thousand!
