Chapter 122: Random Miracles
Back then, Rhea and her future husband both had two rings and could take on some pretty profitable missions—if they weren’t afraid of dying, of course.
He was part of a big clan from his Empire. She had a really useful blessing and was from the rare Mystic class; she could’ve joined any major clan and gotten a bunch of missions.
So, the two of them focused on stacking up resources.
After saving up a lot, they used the underground market to buy an artifact from another planet—one that was banned across the entire Earth.
With some help from the underground, they found someone from the New Arcadia Empire who also wanted to escape—to the Solar Federation Empire, in his case. The guy had tons of enemies and was being hunted down. So, the plan was for both of them to swap identities, pretending to be each other.
The risks were insane. Obviously, they didn’t look alike physically; their blessings and classes were also completely different. And most importantly, each Empire had a distinct energy signature.
The only way to make it work was: they both had to live in hiding, stay away from people, and avoid any kind of fighting or missions. According to the rules of both Empires, if they started a clan and led it, they could get away with that.
If their clan got officially accepted and its members completed a set number of missions each year, the leadership wasn’t required to go on missions or enter the training universe to expose themselves. They could just focus on admin stuff and live isolated from the world.
Starting a clan wasn’t easy. First off, they needed a *ton* of money. And they had to find people willing to join a fresh new clan where the rewards and gear would be way worse than what mercenaries usually got.
