??Now the question was what the wager was about. That would be difficult to learn as the people involved in this wager were very tight-lipped. Without the information on the rewards of the wager, this information held very little value to me as I was still a pawn in Lorenzo's scheme with little knowledge about what he had in store for me. While Lorenzo lent me his notes on array mastery, I never knew that it would cost me so much. Thinking of this I shook my head in dismay and said, "If your information is just this then I have to say I am disappointed." 

??"You are underestimating my abilities and Demigod Windsor's prestige. How can it be just this, I know what the wager is about and how it will affect you," Agatha said confidently which made me believe that she did find something worth hearing.

??"Well, what is it?" I asked Agatha curiously. 

??"I want to tell you the information but before I tell you everything you have to promise me that everything I tell will remain between the two of us, try and understand this is highly confidential information. If not for me throwing around Demigod Windsor's name I would have never gotten this information," Agatha made me promise that the information she shares with me would stay between us and not leak to a third soul. And only then did she let me in on the information that she had uncovered, "Fine, I promise, now will you tell me what is it that you are making such a big deal about?"

??"It's about a demigod nearing the end of his life span," placing a bomb Agatha paused to watch it detonate through my face. 

??"Are you for real?" I asked Agatha in disbelief. As what she said came as a great shock to me and ended up giving her the satisfaction she was waiting for. Demigod was the peak of this world they were the symbol of fear and worship alike, to hear that one of them is dying, was indeed astonishing, and couldn't help but say, "I did not know demigods could reach the end of their life span." 

??"Well, usually they don't as they die in the line of action but this case is a special circumstance. Demigod Mara sacrificed most of her lifespan in a battle, her divinity is badly hurt and beyond repair. Therefore her lifespan limit is nearing," Agatha answered. Her eyes showed pity for Demigod Mara, as someone who was trying to break through to the demigod realm Agatha knew how difficult it was to become a demigod, hence she couldn't help but sympathize with Demigod Mara's situation. 

??"Are you sure you can speak the name so casually? I heard that if we speak their name they can hear us," Seeing Agatha bring up demigod Mara's name so casually I could not help but remind her not to do so. 

??"They do hear us when we call their name, but the demigod Mara has been in slumber for the past few decades. Trying to delay her end, so I am pretty sure she cannot hear us," Agatha replied confidently but I did not feel assured hearing her reason and decided to stick with not speaking out the demigod's name. As I did not know if Agatha's reasoning was true and of the chance if she were wrong I did not want to attract the attention of a demigod on me.

??"I thought the monster war was over and the war at the way beyond had reached a compromise. So how did the demigod get injured in a battle to the point of death?" I asked because if a demigod's life was in danger then what about the rest of us, were we safe, as the government and the royal families promised? 

??"Monster War and the Way Beyond me have reached a temporary conclusion but they were never our main concern, but the SSS-rank dungeons that keep popping out of nowhere. To clear an SSS-rank dungeon one needs to have demigod realm strength, so whenever SSS-rank dungeon shows up a team of demigods enter it in hopes to clear it before a dungeon break. Most of the time the preparation made by the demigod team is enough to clear the SSS-rank dungeon and sometimes it isn't leading to a huge number of casualties. Demigod Mara is one such example," Agatha explained that the demigods too had to risk their lives every day for the sake of humanity and themselves. 

??The fear of an SSS-rank dungeon break is not the only reason the demigods enter the SSS-rank dungeon, there are only a few who care about the prosperity of humanity most enter the SSS-rank dungeon in search of power, resources, and clues to breaking into the higher realm. Whatever the reason, even demigods risk their lives in the SSS-rank dungeon, and their success directly affects humanity. 

??Not to forget the law established by the first to walk this world, stating that all demigods are obligated to enter the SSS-rank dungeons. Ages ago in fear for their life demigods disregard this law which resulted in the monster war that plagued humanity not long ago. 

??The monsters in the monster war were led by the SSS-rank boss monsters that escaped their dungeon during the dungeon break. It is said that the SSS-rank boss monsters can induce dungeon breaks in the dungeons below SSS-rank. This ability of theirs allowed them to instantly gather a monster army to launch a war on humanity. Only by killing all the escaped SSS-rank boss monsters were the demigods able to put an end to the monster war and finally understood why their predecessors created a law that made all demigods obligated to clear the SSS-rank dungeons. Now that the new generation of demigods knew the special ability of the SSS-rank boss monsters they decided to take their predecessor's laws seriously and made sure to follow them.
