Today was the day, all the people were gathered here! Well, all the people I intended to share EXP with.
There were all my Summons, Tamed Monsters, Javier's Family, Natasha, and I even brought a few other people I found worthy. They were all talented humans in my divine realm, the most talented ones that were both incredibly hard working and also blessed with unique skills.
These people were still weak, the strongest being around B-Rank, while Javier and his family were already at SSS-Rank… so the difference was big.
Nonetheless, they were important. I wanted them to expand my power, so I will give them this shared EXP so they can power level through the roof and see how far they can reach.
Call it just an experiment, but if they end up strong, it means I can add up more of these Elite Soldiers.
They were three people only. I choose them carefully because I didn't wanted to pick a cheeky asshole that got a good power but let power got into his head to the point, he might even betray me in the future if I help them grow stronger.
So I only choose those good-hearted and with good wills. Humble hard workers with a blessed power.
And they were only three… Camilla, an amazing user of Holy Light Magic, Healing Magic, Life Magic, and Nature Magic, who was a young and blonde girl with aquamarine eyes, of around 18. She even has the ability to turn into some sort of angel and gain even more power over her magic. She comes from a humble family background of people that lived in the lower and poorest streets of New York, due to this, she's naturally hard worker.
Dante, a young man on his 20's who used to be a humble farmer in the farms of USA, his physical power is superb, and he has the ability to transform into a 20-meter-big Titan to boot, so he got a lot of potential.
And then there's Lucy. Now her powers are the rarest but with the most potential… She has the ability to copy any power. Indeed, she can copy any ability. And she has Five Slots she can use. She stores these copied powers and can only equip up to five.
Of course, there's a limit, she wasn't able to copy my Transcendental-Grade Skills. She can only copy skills within her power level.
Meaning that if I let her become SSS-Rank, she might be able to copy SSS-Rank Skills.
See the potential? The best thing is that she's a humble young woman of around her mid-twenties, with short black hair who wear glasses and is rather timid.
She used to be an office worker at a company, a wage slave of sorts, and well, she felt impacted after the apocalypse, but has been able to pull through.
"Nice to have you guys here, you'll be part of our team from now. I carefully choose all three of you because I see a lot of potential. But the Dungeons where we are going… they're very dangerous. Due to this, you must only be present and attack with long-ranged attacks, we'll kill the monsters, and you'll gain shared EXP, this is the plan, and I want you guys to follow it. Get it?"
"Yes, I understand… I can? also support all of you with my healing magic. Sir Gustav, thanks a lot for recruiting me… You don't know how happy I was when I heard our Hero wanted my help… I will do my best." Said Camilla with a humble smile. She was a good girl, I can tell.
"Yeah, I am so hyped! But I have to calm down, I can only watch for now, right, boss? I'll do as you say because I know you know your stuff better than I do! Chucks, my family was already pretty proud of me when they heard you recruited me!" said Dante.
"Thanks a lot for recruiting me, Gustav. I wasn't someone really worth it, and I believe there are many more people that could deserve it before me… But I appreciate what you're doing for us, and due to your trust over my powers, I have nothing else than work hard to help as much as I can. You've done a lot already, the least I can do is to add my little grain of sand." Said Lucy.
Damn, these guys are pretty nice… I did pick them well.
I guess you could call these guys plus Javier and his family as this planet's official Heroes! While I am the guardian in the shadows, heh…
Anyways, time for dungeon diving!
"Oi, why did you choose me? Wouldn't it be dangerous if I grow stronger? What if I backstab you?"
Natasha asked me this while pouting.
"Because I don't think you're a bad person, Natasha. And I am not the enemy of your race either, only of those behind all of this within your world." I said.
"Eh? You…"
"I don't intend to do anything to the humble demons in your world. I just want you to help me help you guys. If we grow strong enough, we can go to your world and free your people from the tyranny of these Infernal Lords you spoke to me about." I said.
"But why? Why would you… help us like this? Why do you care? We are conquering so many planets, absorbing them and destroying them, yet you forgive us?" asked Natasha.
"Well, not really, those that did bad things will have to pay for it. But I am sure that the majority of the demon population hasn't done all of that bad stuff, right? After all, you were once a humble little girl too." I said.
"…You're strange." She said.
"Yeah, I know." I said, I couldn't help but agree.
"But… I can't see any lies within you. You're awfully honest, and its super easy to detect what you're thinking with your face expressions alone. You're not really lying… Fine. I'll work with you, Gustav." She said.
"Ahaha… Am I that easy to read? Ugh… And thanks, let's get to it."
