An hour later, in the cave.

"Is this what a mercenary is called?"

Looking blankly at the inexplicable badge in his hand that seemed to be made of copper with strange patterns on it, Wright, who had just received an unusually impressive education, sat half-leaning against the wall and muttered in a whisper that only he could hear.

It should be said that the words and actions of Wright's relative, the old mercenary William, just now gave this little guy who ran out to be a mercenary with a dream a rather realistic and extremely vivid example of his life as a mercenary. And Wright, who doesn't have many thoughts and is relatively simple-minded, after being "educated" by his own relatives, is obviously not able to quickly accept the reality of the mercenary life that is beyond his own ideas displayed in front of him.

There are no thrilling adventures, no romance or aristocratic maiden admiration, only the real feeling of preying on animals and monsters weaker than oneself like a jackal, and not letting go of even the oil and water on the dead

"Almost! All over for dinner!"

While Wright was stunned, one of the old mercenaries in charge of dinner in the cave looked at the roasted beast meat in front of him, and then shouted loudly to everyone in the cave.

"It's time to eat! It's time to eat!"

"Haha, I was lucky today, I actually got a bighorn antelope!"

"A piece of brown bread per person, a piece of roast meat! Wait a minute, there will be soup too! If it's not enough, you can add more! ”

"Got it"

After hearing the shouts of the old mercenary in charge of dinner, the other mercenaries who were already drooling a little from the smell of barbecue meat except for the two who were in charge of guarding, everyone else ran over and began to prepare for dinner, and after a noise, several mercenaries sat down with their own share of barbecue meat and began to chew on black bread.

"Boy! Your share!"

As Wright was about to get up, a piece of roasted brown and fragrant roast meat and a piece of cold black bread that looked as hard as a brick and could be used as a brick were handed to him in a new wooden bowl.

"Uncle William??? Hearing that familiar voice, Wright looked up and saw Uncle William carrying another wooden bowl, and couldn't help but say in surprise.

"Eat! Don't think about it so much now, think about it tomorrow when you go back to live in Tallinn!"

William looked at Wright, who was looking at him blankly, sighed slightly, then shoved the wooden bowl into his hand, finished speaking to Wright in a low but unusually serious tone, and then turned to leave.

William has seen many newcomers who have dreams of joining the mercenary industry but give up their lives because they are naïve or unaccustomed to it, and it is normal for Wright to be confused after knowing the truth about mercenary life. However, if it weren't for some kinship with Wright, William wouldn't have been so kind to remind the other party - after all, everyone is responsible for the consequences of the decisions they made in the first place, right?

Looking at Uncle William, who had stepped aside to sit down to eat, Wright thought for a moment and began to pick up the food in the bowl in silence, not chatting with the two new mercenaries as before. After realizing the true side of mercenary life, Wright felt that he needed to think carefully about whether he really wanted to stay in the mercenary business.

However, Wright seemed to forget that he had been in his hand for days, and how stiff the black bread that could now be used as a throwing weapon needed to be treated with care, and instead sent the piece of black bread directly into his mouth

"Click-"

"Ouch-"

An hour later, covering his cheeks, which still had some toothache, Wright leaned against a clean rock wall animal skin, closed his clothes, closed his eyes, and slowly fell into the dreamland of reminiscing home. Wright didn't notice that his badge, which was a souvenir, was still on his body, and it seemed to shine inexplicably in the dim waiting light.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In his sleep, Wright, who was reminiscing about his family and the delicious meals at home, seemed to faintly hear a voice asking him. And when Wright paid attention, he finally heard a loud voice that was clear and seductive.

"Do you want to prove yourself, want your life to be full of hope, and don't regret your life?

If you want, choose to join the gods play space, where you can rely on your own efforts to gain the ability and opportunity to achieve all your dreams. If you don't choose not to join the lifetime play space, you're going to miss out on a rare opportunity that you'll regret for the rest of your life!

Do you want to join the gods play space? Yes or no"

Even though he was asleep, Wright, who should not have known that he was dreaming, did not know why his mind and feelings were extremely lucid at this moment, and he clearly understood the meaning of this voice and words.

Obviously, this is an invitation, to join the so-called gods in the game space!

If Wright were one of those well-informed old mercenaries or some other old fritter, he might hesitate and think about it. After all, there is a famous saying on the earth that "there is no such thing as a free lunch", and there is a similar old proverb in this magical world, called "Strangers will not show favor to you for any reason".

These well-informed old fritters will at least think about what they may pay to join this gods game space in their own minds, and then they will consider whether they want to choose to join the gods game space.

However, Wright belongs to the kind of teenager who has dreams!

Young and vigorous and dreamy, it is completely possible to describe Wright with the term "hot-blooded youth" on the earth.

Although half a month of mercenary career and the "education" of his relative, Uncle William, have been severely hit by his beliefs, Wright himself still has infinite enthusiasm for that kind of adventure, adventure and the like.

So in less than a second, Wright, who was sure that he was in the dream realm, made a decision to enter this seemingly mysterious and unpredictable game space of the gods!

After all, Wright felt that being able to enter his dream would not deceive himself, and wouldn't he be hungry for opportunities and a future? What a great opportunity to do now

"Yes!!"

With Wright's shout, his consciousness disappeared directly, and his dream was shattered.

What Wright didn't know was that he was not the only one who had obtained the "mysterious" badge and heard the sound in his sleep, in fact, in the Far North Mountains and several other noble territories near the Barony of Ernst, there were also dozens of "lucky" mercenaries who found and picked up items such as badges, sculptures, ornaments and other items for various reasons.

Then in their sleep, they all received invitations to the game space of the gods, and except for Wright, who agreed almost without hesitation, the other mercenaries thought about it for at least a while before anyone agreed!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At the same time, the gods were in the game space.

The entire spiritual space has changed greatly, and it seems that the spiritual space of a small plane has been divided.

The hills that used to look like the wild disappeared, and the whole town was ten times larger, but now the whole town looks like a toy city in a box. Fortunately, compared to the dark toy towns, the above and walls of the town in the play space of the gods have an unpredictable light like a rainbow, which looks like it is in some heaven or the kingdom of God.

In the town, in addition to the rows of wooden houses, dozens of special buildings that can only be described by solemn, sacred and other terms stand in the whole town, and anyone can easily tell at a glance that these buildings of the gods game space with their own crazy Kuba drag and blow up the sky are definitely not ordinary places - in order to achieve the effect of increasing the contractor's sense of mystery and awe of the gods game space, Rhodes himself has copied a lot of movies on the earth, The gorgeous architectural shapes from the anime are applied to the buildings of the gods game space!

Therefore, it seems that the current space buildings look extremely dazzling, and directly in the shape of the building gives people a preemptive momentum, so that those contractors can easily distinguish the difference. And if the contractor chooses to enter, he can even feel the coercion of the various "gods" in it - in fact, it is just the spirit and momentum oppression that Rhodes has let the gods imitate in the game space, but after experiencing it for a while, Rod feels that it is very capable of bluffing people and adds this inexpensive function.

"First guy, let me see your watch"

Above the game space of the gods, Rhodes, who had divided a small command space separately, sat on the chair, observing with great interest the first human contractor who had just appeared below, and looked at the other party's table with a smile on his face.

Well, Rhodes had spent several days and a lot of effort thinking about what might happen to the first contractors. Now, of course, Rhodes should take a good look at the first batch of human contractors!

"The second and third are good, seventeen human contractors! Let me see your watch."

When Rhodes confirmed the number of contractors in the first batch of fifty candidates, instead of being angry with the guys who rejected the gods' game space, he focused his attention on the seventeen human contractors.

After all, for Rod, he didn't care about the number of the first batch of contractors, but the question was whether these human contractors could meet their own requirements? Otherwise, just like those monsters who try to become contractors, even if there are more human contractors, they are just a bunch of useless scum who can only harvest spiritual energy!

"Let me see, your cousin"

Looking at the first human contractors who appeared in the town of the gods game space one after another, looking at the surroundings in a daze, Rod thought in his heart expectantly as he watched.
