Eighty years after the spiritual qi revival, demon realms descended, and everyone gained the chance to awaken a profession at eighteen.
Some awakened swordsmanship talent, some became elemental mages, but Jiang Zhao awakened the only F-rank civilian profession in the city: Divine Recruitment Officer.
Everyone said the profession couldn't even beat the lowest-ranked demon beast.
Until the day a beast tide broke through the defenses of Nanlan Old Town.
Jiang Zhao entered a shrine that had been abandoned for years, placed the last stick of incense in the burner, and signed the first contract on the faded image of the Door Gods.
[Position: Gatekeeper]
[Payment: One stick of incense]
The next moment, an armored divine general strode through the doorway and smashed the demon beast leader into the ground with a mace.
From then on, the Earth God guarded the streets and alleys, the Kitchen God managed logistics, the City God protected the city, and the Thunder General guarded Heaven's Gate. The gods long forgotten by the world began returning to the mortal realm, one after another.
Others trained desperately just to gain a trace of a god's power.
Jiang Zhao, however, was busy recruiting, paying salaries, and settling disputes among the gods.
When the armies of the myriad races reached the city walls, Jiang Zhao opened his employee roster.
"Nobody slacks off. Everyone's working overtime today."
This time, he wasn't just protecting an old street. He was protecting the entire human realm.
