"WHO ARE YOU TWO AND WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING IN THIS SACRED GROUND?!"
Lina who just took a step into the shrine backtracked and pull out her Morning Star Weapon behind her back. As for me, I felt the heavy pressure trying to make me kneel as I enter the place. But to be honest, this is pretty much a petty attempt. I am not even affected by it.
"Master, get back, there might be an enemy."
"Sheathe your weapon, Lina, we are not dealing with an enemy here. It's rude to the entity of the Shrine of Ascension."
"Huh? The entity of the Shrine of Ascension?" Lina was taken aback.
"Y-YOU...HOW DID YOU KNOW?!" the voice of the entity shook when I immediately revealed who it was.
"Duh... no one else lives here in the Shrine of Ascension besides you and the beasts around here and the statues are incapable of talking so why would I suspect anyone else but you? You are the only one that can impose themselves as the master of this place anyway and no one else."
"..."
The entity of the shrine stopped talking and the shrine's heavy atmosphere disappeared.
"You lot are the first people to trespass this place without the help of the Headquarters. How the hell did you guys manage to bypass the fog?!"
A slender figure of a woman appeared inside the shrine and slowly floated towards us. If not for her stylish clothes, anyone would mistake her for a ghost due to her pale complexion plus the fact that she is floating in the air.
"The fog is easy to deal with and if you are able to study the topography of the area and how the place is designed, this is pretty easy to navigate. The fog is just there to fail your eyes and blurry your senses in your surroundings. It's not a major hurdle."
"Ugh..." the entity of the Shrine of Ascension frowned.
"Anyways, we are here to get a quest for our class upgrade. You are the one who is in charge of that right?"
"Ha... yes, I am the one. But you guys arrived here so suddenly I don't have enough time for preparation. Come inside. I will have to prepare all of the quests. What are you guys going to class up anyways?"
"I am going to class up the Versatile Class while she is going to rank up as the Versatile Battle Maid."
"Versatile and Versatile Battle Maid huh... wait what? Versatile classes?! Both of you?! What kind of masochists are you guys?!"
I didn't expect the reaction of the Shrine of Ascension, she is generally shocked and called us masochists?! Ah, she might be talking about the exp gain a versatile suffer. But Lina wouldn't suffer on that, why did she call us both Masochists?
She scratches her head and she entered the shrine. Although Lina is a bit hesitant, she decided to come along inside the shrine. From the look on her face, this must be the first time she has seen the entity inside the Shrine of Ascension. As for me, I can no longer count how many times I have seen her in the past timeline ever since I discovered her.
Usually, the entity of the Shrine of Ascension only uses her voice to communicate just like how she did earlier. However, since we came in unannounced, she appeared before us which is already a big achievement. I am the first to see her face in the past timeline so I am also the first one who receive the achievement and the title. I will receive them after clearing the trial quest.
As for now, we will have to wait for the trial quest to be made as she is the one who makes and prepares for the ascension process of our classes.
"I don't know why you guys are able to handle being a Versatile class. It's one of the horrendous class ever been given for me to handle and the just by reading what this class does will make me crazy for a bit. And I can't even believe that you managed to reach level 100 first out of all adventurers. You must be totally hardcore mode in this one to complete it huh?"
"Is that how you see the Versatile Class? Aren't you the one who gave the classes system to people in this world?"
"No, I didn't give the people the classes. In fact, I am just helping Titania manage the classes and class ups. I am not the one who designed it and whoever did is some kind of whack."
"Are you seriously insulting the author just now?" I raised my eyebrow.
"What? So you think the author is the absolute law of this? No way in hell! I can say what I want and you should shut up for once. Anyways, I don't want to keep arguing with you so keep quiet and I have to focus on creating the quests and trials you two needed to undergo."
She closed her eyes and she float higher than her original levitation height. The surroundings started to glow and I can feel the heavy mana swirling around the place.
"She is indeed the real deal!" Lina couldn't believe what she saw.
"Is this your first time witnessing this kind of phenomenon?" I asked.
"Yes, Master. Just seeing the entity of the Shrine of Ascension is already a big shock to me so knowing her to be the one who is giving us quest is a big shock for me too."
"Then be sure to look at her since this will not be the only time she will make something that you will have to think twice fighting against her."
The Entity then waved her hands and the surrounding area started to bend on her will and the surrounding matter is like getting sucked in her hands.
