Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Chapter 117: Greek prize

"We could use a guy like you in our Metropolis. You'll give our geniuses a run for their money."

Atlan was speechless at the offer. He didn't think that he would get recruited by one of the best Metropolises in the entire world!

Their Territory consisted of multiple mountains, each bigger than Genesis City itself. And the bigger the territory was, the more prosperous it was for their citizens.

This was a tremendous honor for someone like Atlan. He was only from the Unclaimed Lands, but he was already getting offers from a Metropolis even though he had only been in Genesis City for less than a month!

"If you join Olympus, then you will be under the tutelage of a sub-god under Zeus called Ares, the God of War."

Sola's eyes widened. "Wait! He's getting recruited by Ares?"

She knew that Atlan was getting recruited by an Olympian god, but she didn't think it would be one of the major Olympian Gods, Ares! She thought it would only be a minor god without much power and territory.

For him to get recruited by Ares meant that even Gods recognized his courage and valor on the battlefield. After all, he had already shown two great acts of heroism in his career as a porter, all in less than a month!

Razer ignored Sola's surprise and continued to explain.

"He will bestow upon you a 7-star Genus upon your acceptance and an equivalent 7-star mutation that will help you shore up your weakness of having no damage-dealing LifeSkill.

And as a drafting bonus, he will be giving you 500 years of SoulTime immediately.

That's not all. Since Ares is one of the major Olympian Gods, he is willing to let you have the opportunity to choose a treasure in Hephaesteus' armory!"

Sola's heart almost stopped from her shock. Even she didn't wasn't allowed to choose her weapon from the divine armory. Yet, Atlan was given that honor just for accepting the offer to join Olympus. Getting drafted by such a prestigious Metropolis should have been enough of a reward by itself!

"And if you don't want to join his faction, you can also join Athena's side. She'll also offer you 7-star Genuses and mutations and bonus Soul Time.

And you will have access to her library of wisdom. You can learn everything there is to know about warfare and how to defeat Canzers."

This time, Sola's knees went weak and she fell on the floor. Even though she was happy with Apollo as her god, she once wished that she was under the Goddess of wisdom and warfare. She couldn't believe that the Goddess offered her hand to Atlan.

Two of the major Olympian Gods wanted to recruit Atlan to their camps! This was an unbelievable situation reserved only for those truly talented individuals who came once in a thousand years.

"I don't know what to say…" Atlan never prepared for such a situation.

"Easy. Accept it."

But Atlan wasn't sure if he wanted to leave Genesis City so fast. He hadn't even explored the whole Territory yet. It hadn't even been a month since he moved here and he was just starting to get settled down. He would have to start all over again if he moved to Olympus.

"I'm not sure."

"What's there to think about? You'll be getting a lot of benefits if you move out of Genesis City. You'll be trained in Olympus and be given more responsibilities rather than be stuck as a porter." Discover hidden content at m,v l'e-NovelBin.net

The benefits posed by the Gods truly tempted Atlan to say yes. After all, by publicly obtaining a 7-star bloodline and mutation, he wouldn't have to hide his powers anymore. He could join missions and kill Canzers in a team rather than be a porter.

"What's there to think about? If you join Olympus, I'll finally have a sparring partner with me!"

Atlan kept silent as he thought about his decision. There was just one thing he was concerned about if he were to join Olympus.

"Can you tell me exactly what would happen if I joined?"

Razer crossed his arms on his chest and answered. "You'll join us on our journey back to Olympus. It'll take a while since it's a long distance from here.

Once we're there, you'll be assessed by Athena's camp and be sorted into depending on your strength. Don't worry, the test is very accurate. It's overseen by the Gods to make sure to account for other factors other than physical strength.

Sometimes, people like you are weak on the outside, but strong on other aspects like your speed, your intellect, and your bravery. The assessment makes sure to not discount those factors."

That was a deal breaker for Atlan. He didn't want others to find out about his Grim Reaper powers.

He knew that he would get assessed for his strength because that was what happened when he got drafted by Genesis City. That assessment was very informal, but it turned out great for Atlan because they didn't find any anomaly with his powers.

But if the Olympian Gods personally searched his whole body, they would undoubtedly find something wrong with him. That would be the worst-case scenario.

I'm not going to join them, he decided.

Even though those rewards were tempting, it wasn't anything he couldn't get by himself. He could continue reaping deaths and slowly work his way up to getting a 7-star Genus and mutation and more.

It wasn't worth risking his secret to get those benefits.

"I'm sorry, but I don't have any intention of leaving Genesis City for now."

Sola's jaws dropped when she heard that. It was one thing to get drafted by the Goddess of Wisdom, but it was another thing to reject Her! She couldn't believe anyone would let go of such a lucrative opportunity.

"Are you sure?" Razer asked him.

Atlan took a deep breath and nodded his head. "I'm sure."

Razer nodded his head in understanding. "I had a feeling you'd refuse."

"Tell the Gods that I appreciate the offer, but I'm content with where I am now."

"I'll pray to them," Razer said. "Oh, and I forgot something. This is your prize for winning the competition. You have beaten me fair and square."
