As I looked at my stats, I had discovered I was now S-Rank! Wasn\'t I A-Rank+ before? I guess I jumped some ranks by merely changing Jobs.

Job Changing Systems are always pretty broken…

Now that I am S-Rank, I do feel a bit more powerful, as if my soul were quite literally overflowing out of my body in the form of an aura, but I thought that was just natural from other Skills.

Well, this is a good thing, so there is no point in getting all confused, let\'s just accept it with open arms.

For now, we decided to continue through the dungeon, walking downstairs.

However, on the next floor, what we found was… a gigantic shiny crystal.

It was an immense crystal, it was completely white-colored and shining brightly with a rainbow aura of sorts, it was quite majestic.

It had a size of around 5 meters, and it seemed to be constantly rotating on itself.

"This crystal…. It seems to be overflowing with energy, Master! It might be a good idea to plunder it!" said Kireina.

"Oh? I had thought the same… But what exactly is it?" I wondered.

"Hm… Equipment using this crystal as materials would be great," said Anna.

However, a sudden intent came from this crystal, startling us.

"Ah… You\'re finally here…" it said, with the voice of a woman.

"Oh? It can talk!?" asked Vudia in shock, almost flying off.

"Please don\'t use me as a material… Well, for now. And my name is… Well, I am who you would technically call "Earth". Or more like… The planet\'s mind, or consciousness," said the crystal.

Wait, what?

So the planet has a consciousness… Well, somewhat, that\'s not so hard to swallow after all the insanity that has happened.

But what does it wants?

Oh let me guess…

"Let me guess, you came to contact me because you want my help in some way? You\'re being attacked by interdimensional beings and monsters after all… Let me tell you that I am too weak to even fight those guys, and don\'t even mention the giant tentacle from the sky," I sighed.

"Oh… So you guessed it? Interesting, to be expected of a Player… Your soul is also quite interesting, and your entire being is intriguing, but I am well aware that you cannot defeat those threats… yet," said the crystal.

"Wait there, do you actually intend to use my Master as your soldier or something? Let me inform you that we are an independent group!" said Kireina while crossing her arms.

"Eh? W-Well, I am the planet, that\'s where he was born, wouldn\'t it be his greatest desire to save the planet where he was born?" asked the crystal.

"Well yes, but actually no. If there is a way to go anywhere else… Well, I might go away. But okay, let\'s hear her out, shall we? It\'s not like I will leave everything behind right away," I said.

The planet\'s will seemed happy over my answer.

"Thank you for wanting to hear me. Please, Player-"

"Wait, how do you know I am a Player? Are there others?" I asked.

"…No, you\'re the only one on this planet," said the planet\'s will.

"The only one?! And I was so worried over other users… So where are the others? In other worlds?" I asked.

"I can\'t detect any other Player even after the invasion, so it seems to be the case, Player," said the planet\'s will.

"I see… So how are we doing things?" I asked.

"Glad you asked. Well, I want to make you my Hero," said the planet\'s will.

"Eh? Hero? Me?" I asked.

How could I become a hero? I am literally a nobody!

"…Yes. A hero is a title that a planet\'s core can give to a chosen one, it can enhance your capabilities even more, and it will help you even more at fending off the threats invading us," said the planet.

"So even more power in exchange for helping you out?" I asked.

"Indeed. However, you must know that everything is not as you think… But explain everything to you would take too much time, touch this crystal, which is this dungeon\'s core, and I shall transfer all the information you require to learn about this planet, what is happening, and more," said the planet\'s will.

"I don\'t know, Master, this seems fishy. What if she wants to steal your powers?" asked Kireina.

"Or what if she wants to take over you by touching that crystal?!" asked Anna.

"Err, girls, you are exaggerating… But yeah, it could be all a trap for all we know. How can I trust you and know you\'re the actual planet\'s will and not just this dungeon itself trying to somehow convince me to touch it?" I asked.

"…By all life, you are very cautious. I suppose I can give you the Hero Title right away, that should be enough," sighed the crystal, as a flash of bright white light suddenly landed into my chest!

FLASH!
