Entering Apocalypse in Easy-Mode

Luccio, the man wearing the white suit just finished his phone call.

Of course, those World Masters also had a communication mode like smartphones.

Although the smartphones they have are certainly not the same as smartphones that are sold in stores in the human world.

"Hhhhh..." A long sigh escaped from Luccio's mouth.

He just got an annoying request and shout of anger from one of the Demon Kings.

The Demon King is asking for something out of the ordinary from him, that is access to see the selection process by himself.

Which of course Luccio refused. But considering his position as a Demon King, no matter how annoying he was, Luccio couldn't possibly refuse him so harshly.

All Luccio could do was plead politely, give understanding to him as best as he could, and come up with plausible reasons for the Demon King to stop bothering him.

Luccio still remembered the words the Demon King had said before he hung up.

Those words are more accurately described as swear words directed toward him.

"You useless piece of shit! Can't you make a deal with me or something?! I've been in trouble so many times because I didn't find a good candidate!"

Another sigh escaped from Luccio's mouth. If he wasn't a Demon King, Luccio would have cursed him back with even more vicious words.

But he couldn't do that. So Luccio could only exhale. And slumped back in his soft chair.

It was then that Agatha suddenly entered the white room and surprised Luccio.

"Senior! I have good news!" Agatha shouted as she drew closer.

She walked by skipping. Making her pair of breasts bounce quite clearly.

But Luccio was not interested in the sight. To him, Agatha was just a stupid woman who happened to be paired with him in this world.

"What?" Luccio asked in a lazy tone.

Whatever news Agatha brings, and what she conveys with such excitement is usually quite different from reality. So Luccio had given up hope.

"I found someone who is confirmed to pass the selection with Grade A, Senior!" said Agatha with a happy face.

Luccio just stared at her with a lazy pair of eyes like before.

"What are you talking about? How did you find him only in the second chapter?" Luccio replied.

Agatha sat in her chair. "Yes! I know it's unlikely. But, I actually found him!"

Luccio already knew who Agatha meant. Because earlier he told her to meet someone.

The young man did look quite strong. But getting Grade A at the end of the selection isn't something that can only be done with sheer strength.

After all, this is only the second chapter.

That young men are strong but there's still a lot that can go wrong in the next four days.

This wasn't the first time a strong person had appeared in the Selection Stage.

And many of them eventually fail or go down to the lower Grade when the Selection is over.

But, maybe he could hear what Agatha wanted to say. She had already met the man so she must have brought something with her about how could that young man can be that strong.

"Okay," Lucio said. "What did you find?"

"That man's name is Clyde Cross. He's 18 years old-"

"Hey!" Lucio snapped. "I don't need that kind of information. Say something important enough for me to hear."

"O-Oh, sorry," Agatha let out a regretful smile and then continued.

"He already has the Title: Limit Breaker (Lv.2). It was an amazing achievement in the second chapter!"

Luccio began to be interested in the man. If indeed he has a Title that has reached Level 2, which is the hardest Title to get, his Level and Stats must be very high already.

"Then how did he get it?" Luccio asked.

"He is said that he gained knowledge from frequently reading novels with this kind of storyline. But I'm not sure, maybe he made an agreement with a Demon King," Agatha said.

"That's possible. We can't see whether a player has made an agreement with them or not," Luccio said. "But...he can survive by reading novels might be true."

"What?" Agatha frowned. Can't believe what her senior just said.

"That's right. You wouldn't understand because you've never read a book. Novelists these days have extraordinary imaginations. They already suspect that something like this will happen sometime in the future."

Luccio explained that with a bit of visible excitement. As if he seemed familiar with what he just talked about.

But Agatha just shook her head as if she wanted to get rid of the conversation earlier. And said the important points.

"That young man also offered us to make a deal," Agatha said.

"Hmm... I expected him to say that when you said he often read novels about something like this," Luccio said.

"Alright. Let's take a look at his progress first. After that, we can come over to him again."

Agatha let out a smirk. "Senior, you also think what I think, right?"

"What are you thinking in your dumb mind?"

"We can use it to increase our Rank!" Agatha said excitedly.

Luccio just snorted, he didn't say anything and continued to watch the screen.

This time the scene on the screen moves to another area and displays many humans who are still shrouded in fear.

Crouching helplessly at various checkpoints scattered throughout the city.

Clyde continued on his way. He encounters several zombies along the way. But that wasn't a problem for Clyde.

He had a hard time seeing the sun because of this thick green fog. But Clyde estimated that it was already noon.

Clyde just realized that he could still feel hungry even though his Stats were already at the max level.

"Should I go back?"

Clyde didn't see anything else here. So maybe he'll come back now and wait for the night.

Maybe he could take a Night Quest with a higher reward later. Or maybe he should wait for Agatha to come back.
