The users who reached the City of Promise, Brion, inevitably received a quest at the temple, referred to as a divine revelation among the NPCs.

It was because the quest was given by receiving a revelation at the temple, just as the name suggested.

This job quest, which ranged from rare to legendary levels, played a crucial role as a guide for users after Brion…

This fact left Do-hyeon puzzled.

“Why is this here?”

He had reached the level required to go to Brion.

But he had not yet gone to Brion, nor had he met any god.

Besides, no matter how much he thought about it, this was not a location befitting a revelation.

He also had no idea why the strange gem that triggered this job quest was in such a hidden place to begin with.

The one who answered this mystery was Elisa.

-Elisa!

-I found them while wandering the forest for a long time. They looked pretty, so I kept them.

-Elisa…

-I was going to show them to you when you returned… Huhuhu, Elisa!!

Jihad hugged Elisa tightly, crying as he tried to interpret her words but failed to keep speaking due to his tears.

Even though he seemed too overwhelmed to explain, this was sufficient information.

Understanding the situation, Do-hyeon couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.

“So, if I hadn’t met her, I might not have been able to get the job quest?”

It seemed absurd, but given how unusual his class was, it wasn’t entirely impossible.

After all, it was a hidden god, and the brief job description suggested a hostile relationship with other gods.

“I heard revelations could only be received at the Grand Temple…”

Perhaps there was a reason this method was used, to ensure it remained hidden from the eyes of other gods.

If that were true, the difficulty level was insanely high.

If he had gone to Brion without obtaining the Legacy of Destiny through layers of coincidences, he wouldn’t have been able to receive a proper job quest.

“This is ridiculous.”

It was, quite literally, absurd.

So absurd that it left him speechless.

Although it was a situation that made him feel as if the game had gone insane, thankfully, it wasn’t entirely unreasonable.

[If the new route is declined, the existing route will proceed with the job quest.]

[Declining the new route will make it permanently unavailable, and the existing route will continue in Brion.]

[However, the new route imposes severe penalties.]

[Will you accept it?]

“Ah.”

This was undoubtedly a hidden piece.

Do-hyeon sighed in relief but still found the situation absurd.

“A hidden piece for a job quest? What kind of god is this?”

Job quests were supposed to be fair for everyone.

Even the renowned Mythical Gods weren’t exceptions.

For a god to offer choices through a hidden piece in a job quest meant this was no ordinary being.

“Or could it be? Maybe every job has hidden elements like this…”

For now, this was a hypothesis he couldn’t confirm.

In any case, he stood before what was probably the first hidden job quest in God of Savior.

Gulp.

Even the name, “Legacy of Destiny,” sounded grand.

What could it entail?

With a trembling heart, Do-hyeon opened the quest window.

[Legacy of Destiny]

-Rank: ???, Job Quest

-Description: A trial given to one deemed worthy of inheriting the will of the Final Adventurer, Kashiar.

Successfully inherit Kashiar’s will.

-Quest Success: Links to derived quest “A Step Toward Truth,” acquire Kashiar’s relic.

-Quest Failure: Job quest deleted, job revoked.

[Upon acceptance, subsequent linked quests cannot be declined.]

“Relic!”

A god’s relic.

The primary reason for undertaking job quests and one of the most coveted rewards.

While other rewards could be relatively similar, relics were always uniquely distributed.

“Because relics depend on the achievements of the god who created them.”

A representative example was the Iron Axe of the Honorable Axe God.

The axe was both the identity and symbol of that god.

For example, those who chose Hercules would receive Hercules’ club or a robe made from the Nemean Lion’s mane, while those who chose King Arthur would be granted the Sword of Victory.

Although not all godly relics were high-ranked or overpowered, they typically boasted top-tier options within the same rank.

“If it’s a relic created by a god capable of this, it’s bound to be extraordinary.”

Considering that the ultimate relics of Mythical Gods were legendary rank, it might be something even greater…

No, given the early-game stage, perhaps it would at least be a heroic rank relic.

Above all, he was most curious about what kind of relic would symbolize Kashiar, who had no known information compared to other gods of mythology.

Of course, this was all assuming things went well.

“But to have your job revoked upon failure? What kind of penalty is this?”

Failing the quest would not only delete the job quest but also revoke the job, a mind-boggling penalty.

A penalty so severe that it would make anyone curse.

Moreover, once accepted, he couldn’t decline any subsequent linked quests.

If the penalty remained the same, a single mistake could lead to losing his job.

Rather than risking everything and losing it all, it was a hundred times wiser to choose the safer path.

That would be the most rational decision.

“…”

But Do-hyeon seriously contemplated.

He already possessed traits, a job, and accomplishments that no one else could match.

Objectively, there was no need to take unnecessary risks.

“I know, I know, but…”

Yet he couldn’t help but feel drawn to it.

If he chose the safe route, could he avoid regretting it later?

If he faced even a minor inconvenience or inadequacy, wouldn’t he think, “Ah, I should’ve chosen that route back then”?

“Haah.”

When Do-hyeon questioned himself, he had no confidence in his answer.

High risk, high return.

He knew better than anyone that the greater the risk, the sweeter the reward.

This was true when he encountered a legendary raid boss in DemRock, when he tackled hidden pieces, and even when he faced the Ironblooded Dragon during the God of Savior tutorial.

“Wouldn’t this be the same?”

The larger the penalty, the greater his expectations grew for that relic.

He didn’t need to take the risk; he was already strong and capable of becoming stronger.

But if he chose that path?

Could he achieve results incomparable to his current state? Could he reach his goals faster?

And what would that relic turn out to be? A hidden job quest, no less?

“Damn it…”

The voice echoing in his mind wouldn’t let him go.

“Sigh…”

This was the problem.

A man with terrible luck and insatiable greed.

A fool who, instead of walking an easy tree-lined path, chose a thorny road.

A stubborn idiot who couldn’t let go and would forever feel regret if he didn’t take the chance.

“What can I do.”

He cursed at himself, but what could he really do?

That’s just the way he was made.

Do-hyeon had stood at countless crossroads of decisions, agonizing over them countless times.

And the choice was always the same.

[Do you wish to accept?]

“Damn it… Fine. I’ll do it.”

Rather than regretting not trying, he would prefer to try and regret it later—that was just who he was.

With his teeth clenched, Do-hyeon’s muttered words seemed to be exactly what the system had been waiting for.

The system responded with a livelier notification than ever.

[You have chosen a new route, diverging from the existing path.]

[The Legacy of Destiny reacts.]

Then, just as it said, the Legacy of Destiny reacted.

[The Legacy of Destiny is drawn to the traces of the Final Adventurer, Kashiar.]

[Connect the thread of fate.]

There was an old box beside the fragment.

Between the red-glowing box and the Legacy of Destiny, a red thread stretched out.

Do-hyeon’s gaze was drawn to it, albeit briefly.

Click.

When he placed the Legacy of Destiny into the small slot, a blinding light erupted.

“-Ugh…!?”

“-Li… za…!”

Jihad and Elisa couldn’t open their eyes properly against the light that enveloped the entire space.

The same went for Do-hyeon.

The light was so intense that it was unbearable to look at directly.

However, Do-hyeon shielded his eyes with his hands and tried to see through it.

As a result, he could make out a silhouette beyond the light.

[Have you finally arrived…?]

A voice echoed at that moment.

The tone was soft, almost murmuring, but the deep, resonant voice carried immense power.

Do-hyeon instinctively raised his head at the voice that seemed to reverberate throughout the entire space.

The light gradually dimmed, and a figure became more distinct.

[It has truly been a long wait.]

It was a man.

Standing at what seemed to be around 190 cm tall, his towering frame was lean yet powerfully built.

With snow-white skin and hair that starkly contrasted his black martial attire, he looked otherworldly.

His face, so pale it seemed carved from white jade, was strikingly beautiful, almost like a sculpture.

His long hair, flowing down to his waist, added an air of mystique.

What stood out even more were the numerous weapons strapped to his waist, back, and even the pockets of his attire.

[Let me ask. Are you my successor?]

The man, with an arrogant face that seemed to look down upon the world, regarded Do-hyeon indifferently.

In the past, people called him by this title.

Ding-.

[The strongest man in Abtartel’s history, a man of misfortune,

The Only Martial God, the God of War,

A living testament to humanity’s history…]

A master of martial prowess, unmatched by any rival, feared even by the gods.

[You have encountered the will of the Final Adventurer and God of War, Kashiar.]

[The class quest, “Legacy of Destiny,” begins.]

[Failure will result in the loss of both the class quest and your class. Please proceed with caution.]

And thus appeared the hidden god Do-hyeon had drawn in the divine lottery—the one who would make him an All-Master.

The Final Adventurer and God of War, Kashiar.

It was the moment his will descended.

* * *

In God of Savior, all players are generally apostles of the gods.

They are apostles who receive revelations from the ten thousand gods that sustain and govern the world of Abtartel.

Only the immortal beings from another world could become apostles of the gods, gaining divine powers as a benefit—a foundational premise of the game’s lore.

As a result, even NPCs didn’t find such players unusual.

To them, apostles were both mysterious and natural beings.

In such a game, gods held an immensely important position, which was why players were so desperate when it came to the divine draw.

“Wow… Have you guys met your gods?”

“Yeah, the aura was insane.”

“This is why people say Brion is where the real stuff begins.”

“Man, it’s the first time I got emotional over a game.”

There were moments in the game when players had the chance to meet their gods.

This happened when they completed their class quest or during their participation in a grand temple event.

At most, they’d get one or two opportunities.

“Everyone underrates the Honorable Axe God, but when you see him in person, it’s a whole different story. It’s like seeing a real sage.”

“Nothing beats the Fox God with a Thousand-Year Fate. She’s absolutely stunning in person. It’s no wonder people fall for her. She instantly became my ideal type.”

“Yeah, right. But have you met the Northern Lion King? The sheer grandeur will leave you speechless.”

“Forget that—have you seen the Mythical Gods? Did you check the video from the Celestial Guild?”

“It was absolutely insane. Just watching it made me want to charge into battle myself.”

Even though the meetings were brief, players who received revelations were ecstatic, and some were even moved to tears.

Witnessing the majesty of a god firsthand was an extraordinary experience, one impossible in real life.

The developers understood this, which was why they went all out on these scenes.

From the Mortal Gods to the Heroic Gods, and even the Mythical Gods,

Regardless of rank, these rare moments became lifelong memories for players.

“How incredible could it be?”

Since the divine draw wasn’t part of DemRock, Do-hyeon was curious.

How amazing could it be for players to react like that?

That curiosity was about to be answered.

[Hah! That line was great. I’ve always wanted to say something like that.]

“……”

…Though it was a little different from what he’d heard.

Instead of a sacred temple radiating divinity, the surroundings were filled with insect eggs.

[I was a bit worried, but it looks like my will has settled well… The body moves properly too.

Well, I don’t make mistakes, do I? Hmmph. That old man just kept scaring people for no reason. No wonder he’s stuck living in confinement.]

The figure, clearly pleased with himself, puffed up his chest.

There wasn’t a shred of godly dignity about him.

Reverence? Mystery?

At first, Do-hyeon felt a hint of those emotions, but now it felt like he was looking at some neighborhood troublemaker.

As Do-hyeon stared at him with a strange expression, Kashiar met his gaze and let out an exclamation.

[Is it you? The one who seeks to inherit my will?]

“…Yes.”

[Hmm…]

Floating cross-legged in the air, Kashiar slowly descended onto the box.

He stroked his chin, staring intently at Do-hyeon, before nodding.

[You pass.]

“…?”

[Well, you look decent enough. If you seemed unworthy, I was planning to tell you to get lost, successor or not.]

“……”

Was that something a god should say?

Do-hyeon was dumbfounded by Kashiar’s casual, almost delinquent tone.

Ding-.

[You have cleared the class quest, “Legacy of Destiny.”]

[The “Apostle of Kashiar” class has been changed to “Successor of Kashiar.”]

[You have acquired the title, “Bearer of Kashiar’s Will.”]

[The first ability of “Bearer of Kashiar’s Will” has been unlocked.]

[The Adventurer’s Book has been opened.]

[Adventurer’s Book]

[Legacy of Destiny (1/10)]

[You have entered the “Successor” route instead of the traditional “Apostle” route.]

[A follow-up quest has been generated.]

[Follow-up quest “One Step Towards Truth” has been created. The quest will continue upon entering the City of Promise, Brion.]

“…?”

Do-hyeon’s face stiffened in shock at the sudden series of cleared notifications.

“This is it? Really?”

Did I brace myself for this?

The speed at which the quest cleared made his serious resolve feel pointless, leaving Do-hyeon bewildered.

His disappointment was short-lived.

“Wait a second.”

After thinking it over, Do-hyeon’s face turned pale.

A chill ran down his spine, and cold sweat dripped down his back.

The fact that the quest had been completed with just a simple “you pass” was significant.

“Crazy… If he hadn’t liked me, it would’ve meant failure.”

In other words, this man’s casual words could’ve immediately stripped him of his class.

All the hard-earned skills he had accumulated would’ve become utterly useless.

Do-hyeon had almost become the first unemployed player in God of Savior.
