Javier and his group couldn't really reject my offer, especially because they didn't have anywhere to go. It was us or the outside world, only to be eaten by the monsters they can't defeat.
I had also saved their lives, so they were pretty grateful. And even more, people obviously will stick with the strong, they saw how we decimated the wolves like nothing, so they will obviously want to stick with us because it has the highest chances of survival compared to going out into the wild by themselves.
I could actually ask Kireina any time for her to easily brainwash them with her Illusion Magic and Charm, but I wanted to do things like a civilian for once. Although if they reject me then we'll brainwash them, I have no time to throw some idiots into the wild to get killed.
I am sure that Gaia doesn't care about the means, as long as the mission is carried accordingly to what she wanted, it doesn't matter if we brainwash them, blackmail them, or whatever.magic
But let's think from a more decent point of view, let's try to be the nice heroes for once.
After some minutes, Javier came back.
"We accept… Sorry for talking it out so much, they were merely babbling about other nonsense… The thing is, can we wait a bit before going out again? Everyone really feels way too exhausted and… we want to rest and assess things out," said Javier.
Perfect, I guess we won't be brainwashing them. These guys are smart I guess.
"Sure thing, the time in here passes differently than outside. One day outside is five days in here, so feel free to relax, the night time in this place will come in a few hours though, but for now, you can still sleep and relax, my home should have enough extra rooms, I'll get you some beds," I said.
I quickly put some extra beds into the empty rooms, these beds… I got them from Walmart, of course!
Anyways, after they were left there, I quickly walked out of the house and left Wisp watching over them, for reassurance, of course.
It seems that after they're done fighting they revert back to human appearances, but the Beast Orbs in their chests are still there.
Now, there's a lot of loot we gotta assess, so I will go slowly with this stuff one by one… But for now, let's check my status.

Ah, they increased rather decently, but they should increase even more after I absorb enough materials and Soul Spheres. I believe that I can also get a bunch of new Skills as there were some Ability Spheres from all the monsters we slaughtered.
Seriously this really feels like we're playing an MMORPG sometimes, just loot after loot… An endless grind until we save the planet, I guess.
But after that, what's next? I guess we'll go battle the universe? Or the dimensions? Maybe I will invade another planet or something, like an Uno Reverse Card on these motherfuckers.Well, for now, I had gathered a lot of consumable materials, mostly Soul Spheres that granted nice stats, so time to eat them up.
The pile of Soul Spheres of today seems rather tasty, so I quickly absorbed it all into my own body and consumed it all.
FLASH!
The ethereal flows of energy rushed through my body, and I was able to quickly absorb it all into my body, as I felt my muscles enhancing and my blood pumping, oh yes, that's the stuff.
Ding!
[You gained +10.000 Vitality, +12.000 Mana, +8.000 Strength, +6.000 Magic, and +8.000 Dexterity!]
Checking my stats again, they had increased accordingly. The thing that helped the most was… well, everything! The number of Soul Spheres dropped was insane, so it helped nicely.
…
[Level: [60/60]
[Vitality: [55.000/55.000] [Growth Per Level: 1.500]

Yeah, this was a great increase, for now, I decided to change Jobs and see what I can get out of it, and afterward, I think I've completed some tasks, so I will grab their loot, and then assess the other loot I got, from equipment to items and more, this also includes the ability spheres. And then I will inspect the monster corpses and see what I can do with their Beast Orbs.
[Available Job Options]
[Infernal and Spectral Flare Sorcerer]
[Shadowmancer]
[Phantasmal Death Knight]
…
Three options… The first one is like an upgrade from the Infernal Flare Sorcerer, and the Shadowmancer is still Shadowmancer… Will it evolve into Shadow Monarch or something if I ignore it for now?
And there's also the Phantasmal Death Knight, most likely a fusion of Black Knight and Necrotic Sorcerer…
What should I pick?
