I looked at the first one:
WORLD TYPE: BIG
DANGER : DEMONIC INVASION
ENERGY LEVELS: VERY HIGH
REWARD: 1 POINT OF DIVINITY
Beyond those, there was a bunch of lore about the world and who was activating the summoning and what was expected to save this world and so on.
All the other were similar and the reward was the same.
It was a single point of divinity.
How much was it? I did not know.
I had absolutely no idea about what divinity was.
She askes me: “Anything catching your interest, Sir Lark?”
I looked straight at her and asked her: “Why would you give me only A-rank missions?”
She stated matter-of-factly: “You only asked for jobs who would reward you with Divinity, Sir Lark”
I nodded.
It was true that I only asked for such jobs.
Wait.
Am I already acting like one of them? Am I really asking for jobs?
Mhm. I guess I don't have much of a choice anyways.
Let's try to make the most of it at least.
I asked her: “How about F rank jobs rewarding Divinity then?”
She answered right away: “There is no such thing, Sir Lark”
I frowned.
I tried again: “How about E rank ones?”
And the answers remained the same for a while. Only A rank missions rewarded Divinity and they only ever rewarded a single point of it.
I asked her: “How much is one point of Divinity?”
She answered me: “An angel like me owns 10, M owns 100 and, if you wanted to become a 'God', you would need at least a million of it?”

A 'God'.
A very abstract word.
At least, I could understand more easily thanks to her example with M. If the guy that knocked me out owned 100 then it meant that I could become stronger than him if I earned more than 100.
Or so my simple thoughts were considering the limited information I had at the moment.
I would still need to earn even just 1 point of it to be able to understand it.
Still, if I died, I would never even be able to get to this point.
Taking on an A rank danger job seemed like a bad idea for a first timer. At least, I needed to understand the danger of an F rank mission first before even thinking of the A rank. I needed to know how hard it was to 'save a world'.
I only have one life even if it would be very hard for me to lose it. I did not want to lose it. I do not want to lose it.
Thus, I set my sights on understanding what was an immediate risk to my survival first: the danger of the jobs themselves.
Since I had no choice but to be 'employed' and 'work', I needed to smartly considered those jobs.
She seemed a little disappointed when I asked for some F rank missions but why would I ever care about her anyways?
I looked at the dozen files she gave me and asked for others. And it went on like this for hours as I read through hundreds of files.
It is quite interesting to see the number of human worlds that are actively in need of help to not be destroyed.
How was it even possible for so many worlds to be in a state of being nearly destroyed at the same time?
Were we even in the same time?
What was time anyways?
…
Back on track, I kept skimming through the detaield files.
In the end, I selected one.
DANGER RANK: F
WORLD TYPE: BIG
DANGER: DEMONIC INVASION
ENERGY LEVELS: VERY HIGH
REWARD: Essence of the Eternal Dragon (immense energy boost, greatly enhances energy absorption rates)
----------------------------------------
MISSION OVERVIEW:
The world of Zhaotian is a sprawling realm dominated by ancient martial clans, sects, and powerful cultivators. Known for its intricate balance of qi (spiritual energy) and the brutal art of martial cultivation, it has long stood as a haven for warriors honing their bodies and souls in pursuit of immortality. However, recent events have thrown the realm into chaos.
A tear in the fabric of the world's spiritual boundary has allowed an influx of low-tier demonic forces to invade. While this may sound daunting to outsiders, the local inhabitants are formidable martial artists in their own right. However, even the most powerful sects are struggling to contain the invasion due to its sudden spread.
The demonic entities are corrupting the natural flow of qi, destabilizing the cultivation process and tainting once-pure training grounds. If left unchecked, the delicate balance of this world will crumble, and the demons will continue to strengthen, resulting in catastrophic events. Fortunately, the demons here are of a lower order, and with strategic intervention, their spread can be contained before they become a more serious threat.
MISSION OBJECTIVE:
1. Assist local sects in purging demonic entities from key spiritual sites.
2. Seal the rift in the spiritual boundary to prevent further incursions.
3. Strengthen the local energy flow by cleansing corrupted qi sources.
4. Optional: Uncover the source of the rift and investigate whether more powerful forces are at play behind the scenes.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
* Local Population: Generally peaceful, but fiercely protective of their own territories. Respect for martial customs and cultivation hierarchy is advised.
* Allies: Numerous martial sects, including the famed Azure Sky Clan and Iron Blood Pavilion, are open to cooperating with external aid, though they may view outsiders with suspicion until trust is earned.
* Opposition: Demonic entities vary from weak foot soldiers to mid-level commanders. They are highly vulnerable to both magical and martial attacks that target their spiritual cores.
* Energy Availability: The world's high energy levels provide an excellent opportunity for personal growth and enhancement.
SUGGESTED GEAR:
* Qi Absorption Amulet (recommended for balancing excess energy intake)
* Celestial Blade or any weapon enhanced with spiritual energy for demonic cleansing
* Advanced Seal Scrolls for rift closure
