End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues

As Jeremy and Ritchie continued their efforts, Ritchie was getting closer and closer to reaching level 50.

The Goddess of Class Change, who had been keeping an eye on Jeremy and his companions, had already prepared to help Ritchie with his awakening. However, for the Goddess of Class Change, there were still more pressing matters that required her attention.

Inside the special space where the Goddess of Class Change resided, World was slowly recovering from his injuries. Unlike before, when he had been relaxed and composed, World now appeared more like a tiger stripped of its teeth—vulnerable and far from his usual formidable self.

"Do you really think you can heal on your own?" the Goddess of Class Change asked with concern. "I think we still need Jeremy's help. At the very least, he could get the Goddess of Life to heal you."

To the Goddess of Class Change, World's injuries could only be healed by the Goddess of Life. Of course, there were other Apocalypse Game developers who could quickly treat World, but those developers were their absolute enemies.

Despite the severity of his current condition, World believed that he had not yet reached the point where he needed to seek Jeremy's help.

"I've told you already, I can recover on my own," World replied, his voice tinged with a hint of defiance. "I just need some time. I'll be fully recovered before Ritchie reaches level 50."

At the mention of Ritchie, the Goddess of Class Change seamlessly continued the conversation.

"Ritchie is about to reach level 50. During our recent missions, he's already shown some solid strength. After he completes his awakening, he should be able to help us. But I'm not sure what kind of awakening talent to give him. Do you think I should give him a talent that enhances his existing skill damage? Or perhaps something that expands the range of his abilities?"

Although the Goddess of Class Change was responsible for everything related to class changes and awakenings, she still had to operate within the framework of the rules. She couldn't control exactly what talents a person would receive during their awakening.

The Goddess of Class Change could only make slight adjustments.

When the Goddess of Class Change asked for her opinion on Ritchie's awakening talent, World did not immediately respond. After thinking for a moment, he gave an answer that greatly surprised the Goddess of Class Change.

"I think this matter should be left to them to decide. Once Ritchie reaches level 50, Jeremy will likely bring him to you. Then, you can discuss it carefully."

The Goddess of Class Change had originally thought that World would make every decision himself. She never expected that World would respect the decisions of others.

World noticed the surprised look on the Goddess of Class Change's face.

"What's the matter? You seem very surprised. Don't you think their own choices should be respected?" he asked.

"I'm not saying that their choices shouldn't be respected. I just didn't expect you to say something like that," the Goddess of Class Change replied. "Aren't you someone who likes to be in control of everything?"

World's expression became a little awkward.

"I am indeed someone with a strong desire for control. But that control is focused only on the plans I need to carry out. My goal is to make the Apocalypse Game developers pay a price! I absolutely will not allow my plans to fail!"

World made his stance clear.

The Goddess of Class Change decided not to press further.

As World continued to focus on healing his injuries, the Goddess of Class Change began to consider how to structure Ritchie's awakening instance.

Though the specifics of an awakening instance were determined by the individual player completing it, the Goddess of Class Change could still influence certain aspects. Of course, she hoped Ritchie's awakening instance would be relatively simple.

Meanwhile, Jeremy and Ritchie, after clearing four instances, had finally brought Ritchie's level up to 50.

Both Jeremy and Ritchie were in high spirits.

"I've finally reached level 50! I can start my awakening right away! Aren't you supposed to take me to the space where the Goddess of Class Change is now?" Ritchie asked with a smile on his face.

After all, Jeremy had previously mentioned that before Ritchie could begin his awakening, he would first need to take Ritchie to meet the Goddess of Class Change, Janna.

"I will, of course, take you to the space where the Goddess of Class Change is," Jeremy said. "But before that, I need to contact her and get her approval."

With that, Ritchie followed Jeremy back to his home. Once inside, Jeremy immediately began preparing a ritual.

The Goddess of Class Change, Janna, had no objections and agreed to Jeremy and Ritchie's visit.

When Jeremy and Ritchie appeared in Janna's space, World had already healed his wounds and left.

"Your leveling speed is definitely faster than I expected," Janna said with a smile as she addressed Ritchie. "I thought it would take you at least half a month to reach level 50."

Ritchie smiled in response.

"This is all thanks to Jeremy's help," Ritchie said. "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to level up this quickly."

Ritchie certainly needed to express his gratitude to Jeremy.

However, Jeremy wasn't particularly interested in the conversation between Ritchie and Janna. In fact, he thought it was a bit of a waste of time.

"I don't think we need to waste any more time," Jeremy said directly. "The most important thing now is to help Ritchie complete his awakening as soon as possible. While I understand the general pattern of awakening, I don't know all the details. So, I hope you can help us. You should be able to help Ritchie come up with the best approach for clearing the awakening instance."

Janna, understanding Jeremy's urgency, also agreed not to waste any more time.

In truth, she had already prepared a plan for Ritchie's awakening.

"You're right," she said. "We should focus on Ritchie's awakening instance. I've already come up with a method for him to clear the awakening instance. Of course, the actual clearing will be up to him. We can only offer him assistance while he's going through it."

As soon as Janna finished speaking, an ethereal map appeared in Ritchie's hands.

This map was the map of Ritchie's awakening instance.

Although Ritchie had not yet found the Awakening gemstone, the Goddess of Class Change, Janna, had already determined Ritchie's awakening instance in advance.

"What you need to do next is follow the practice as shown on the map I've given you," Janna said. "Your awakening instance will be very difficult, because I want you to gain a very powerful awakening talent."

Janna sincerely hoped that Ritchie's strength would grow far greater than before. She had a growing sense that things were rapidly deteriorating. The Apocalypse game planners were likely to target her and World again, and she needed stronger allies to ensure her survival.

Upon hearing this, Ritchie's expression grew somewhat worried.

"I really don't need such a powerful awakening talent," Ritchie said directly to Janna. "Can you lower the difficulty of my awakening instance?"

Ritchie's request left both Janna and Jeremy feeling a bit taken aback.

"You should be more confident," Janna said gently. "Your strength is more than enough to handle the higher difficulty awakening instances. Don't you want your power to increase significantly?"

Ritchie hesitated for a moment before responding.

"Of course, I want my strength to improve drastically," he said. "But I'm worried that going through a higher difficulty awakening instance will take up a lot of time. I have a feeling that Jeremy and I might soon face a huge crisis."

Ritchie's words caused Jeremy to freeze, a bit shocked.

He hadn't expected Ritchie to think so far ahead.

Suddenly, Jeremy became more composed. He began to seriously consider the situation they were facing.

He had to admit that Ritchie's concerns were very reasonable.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Jeremy had already more or less severed ties with both the military headquarters and the federal government. This meant that the military and the higher-ups in the federation would likely begin targeting him soon.

Moreover, Kean had not been weakened during their previous encounter—if anything, Jeremy suspected that Kean's strength had increased.

Given this, it was very possible that Kean would attack him soon.

Jeremy's expression changed rapidly, his mind working through the various implications of Ritchie's words.

The Goddess of Class Change, Janna, also noticed that something was off. However, she didn't speak. She simply waited for Jeremy to make the final decision.

All eyes were on Jeremy, and after several long minutes of silence, he slowly spoke.

"Your concerns are indeed very valid," Jeremy said, his voice steady but serious. "However, I believe I can face the upcoming crisis on my own. You can focus on completing your awakening instance with peace of mind."

Having heard Jeremy's words, Ritchie nodded, understanding that the decision had been made. Since Jeremy had said so, Ritchie wouldn't continue to resist.

"Alright then! Let's proceed with the original plan."
