# Rewards: Eternal Realm, Eternal Valhalla #
# Eternal Realm: A realm that will nest itself inside your lungs where you are God and everything inside it will be under your total control. Your Eternal Einherjar can live and train there and will always be at your disposal if needed. #
# Note: The Realm is undetectable from the outside world, except for people who are incomprehensibly stronger than you. Nothing will be impossible for you there, and it is shielded from any outside influence. You can use the system to change the realm in any way you like, however every change will have to be paid for, one way or another #
# Eternal Valhalla: Home to your Eternal Einherjar. #
# Note: If placed in the Eternal Realm you can appoint connection points. From Valhalla, your Eternal Einherjar shall march to battle if and where necessary. #
"Thank you for accepting me as the Commander of your Eternal Einherjar, Your Majesty. I swear on my ancestors and my soul that I will not disappoint you and serve you with everything I have, or die trying," Rajansam vowed, still kowtowing, still overwhelmed by the situation.
"You may rise, Rajansam, your duty shall henceforth be to act as a Supervisor and oversee the honorable souls that the Valkyries bring back and forge them into the best army this world, and any other will ever see," Ken ordered in a low voice.
"I shall do as you command, my Emperor," Rajansam replied.
'Forge an army… is there anything easier? I don't even have to recruit them, those Valkyries will scour the lands in search of new recruits. If I had known that such a fate awaited me, I would have gladly died sooner. Training people that will resurrect no matter how often they die… is there anything better to do for all eternity? I shall have fun, training them without having to hold back anything, until they are skilled enough to survive everything. Oh, this will be so much fun!!!'

The soul of a Paladin appeared before Rejansam with a Valkyrie by his side. Before anyone could say anything, the new arrival drew his ethereal sword and took a fighting stance.
"I'm Kerinum Desiam, Herald of the Church of Light and I shall purge all evil from this world until the day I die, BEGONE DEMON!" The Paladin's speech sounded impressive… but nothing came from it. The silence stretched for a few seconds while everyone waited for somebody to do something, yet the Paladin remained silent, seemingly waiting for his opponent to take the first step, yet the 5-meter tall Demon-Asura just started at him as if he was a fool, though so did the other people in the courtyard.
"You're already dead. Just take a look at yourself, why else do you think your entire body is see through? Take a moment and try to recall the last memory you had, it should tell you as much. My name is Rajansam Resemen, a Demon-Asura formerly known as the Destroyer of Hope, now Commander of the Eternal Einherjar, the one true elite army of the Eternal Emperor. His Majesty has summoned you here because you've proven worthy to be recruited into said army." Rajansam patiently explained to the Paladin, who remained vigilant, yet his face showed off his confusion.
"What are his deeds?" Rejansam questioned the Valkyrie next to the Paladin.
"Great Commander," the Valkyrie bowed down, yet there was no submission in her voice nor in her bow, "I brought His Majesty someone truly special. That man is a Paladin known as the Herald of Light in the little kingdom he hailed from. He died peacefully in his sleep after being poisoned by his own son. I happened to pass by during his dying moment, and I could feel something extraordinary in him, so I looked through his memories. What I saw astonished me. I saw him fight against Demons, valiantly die against them, yet some treasure resurrected him, so he continued to fight his foes only moments after getting a hold of his consciousness. I therefore deem this Paladin worthy of becoming an Eternal Einherjar."
"Did you just say I was poisoned? And by my own son, no less? The worst enemy of the Goddess of Light, the Eternal Emperor tries to recruit me into his ranks, led by a Demon and an Angel. HAHAHAHA!!! All of this is too crazy to be true, this can only be the dream of a drunk. I must have drunk too much during my daughter's marriage yesterday…" During his monologue, the Paladin stopped abruptly. "I don't even have a son…" a sudden realization hit the Paladin as he came to this conclusion. He turned around to the Valkyrie and opened his mouth to ask something, yet she was faster.
"26 years ago you've eradicated a clan of devil worshipers, yet you were seriously injured in the process. A young woman found you and nurtured you back to health. During your stay, the two of you had a lot of fun together, yet once you were healthy, she refused to come with you. Your son poisoned everyone at the banquet that celebrated your daughter's Marriage. He was hidden among the Servants. He looked just like you in your yought, with her eyes and he stank of poison. These are Information I have from your Memories." The Valkyrie answered, indirectly lecturing the dead Paladin about being a blind fool.
"Well how fate can play you sometimes, Poisoned by your son at the wedding of your daughter I could understand if you would choose to just die in shame. But I don't think you should throw away this new Chance. Your life for the Goddess of Light killed you in one of the most shameful ways possible. If this can't teach you that your path was wrong, nothing will. Come join us as an Eternal Einherjar and show this Goddess that her ways are wrong when one of her most devout believers ends in such a way." Rejansam advised the fallen Paladin.
"You are right, The way the Goddess of Light teaches us is wrong, and she doesn't deserve my faith." He kneeled down. "Please let me join the Eternal Einherjar to correct my ways and serve the Eternal Emperor."
"You are welcome, Kerinum Desiam. You shall rise again as an Eternal Einherjar." Rejansam announced loudly, and a golden glow surrounded Kerinum Desiam after which he had a flesh body again.
This continued, the souls of the dead appeared one after another. Most of the Souls were humanoids, but there were some sentient beasts among them. Every time one of the Valkyries appeared as well to tell their honorable and heroic deeds.
Then Rajansam will tell them who he is and who they will follow if they choose to accept, which results in them kneeling and accepting, glowing, and being alive again.

These Rewards keep ringing inside Keiren's head keeping him from concentrating on other things than the procedure. Galatris standing beside him with serious doubts about himself while watching one Einherjar after another requesting a talent evaluation and after the 50th time the result showed him Tier-G Talent he looks at Ken and says: "I have to congratulate you Master, whatever it is that gives you one Tier-G Talent subordinate after another it scares me."
"Oh, this is the effect of my Divine Talent: Eternal Einherjar."
This reply shut Galatris up for a full five minutes, which resulted in a line of another ten newly recruited Eternal Einherjar waiting for their Talent evaluation. He slowly began to ask: "A Divine Grade Talent? An innate ability to do something, like instinct, or a reflex?"
"Yes, exactly. Don't ask me why I have this power or how it works, I have no clue at all," Ken replied, a bit confused.
He looks at the next person in line, a middle-aged Half-Demon at the Peak Layer of the Mortal King Stage. "What was your Talent when you were still alive?"
"Sir, I was a lowly guard with Tier-5 Talent before I died," the man replied respectfully, then he laid his hand on the Evaluation Stone, which for the 51st time in succession illuminated into a beautiful black galaxy. Another Tier-G Talent for the army.
"It is Tier-G again. I think I will have a mental breakdown if this continues. It seems like your Talent is so out of this world that your subordinates all have at least the Tier-G Talent, no matter what it was during their lifetime. This is Borderline impossible, if you would publicly announce that all your subordinates have Tier-G Talent they will laugh straight at your face, and call you a dreamer. I am a Tier-10 Talent and you see my accomplishments, if you tell them you have 100 knights and 100 Eternal Einherjar with Tier-G talent they will band together and purge you out of existence faster than you can scream: Stop! As such, I can only advise you to keep a low profile while your army develops."
"Galatris, I appreciate your advice. My next step will be the building of my own city, and the Eternal Einherjar will not be open in plain view for all to see. My Knights will be in the open view, presented like my elite group and I have a few cards in my hand that might shift a few things into the direction that will reassure you, but I want it to be a surprise for you. Also, you shouldn't forget I still have 4 Immortal Archangels and Rajansam to protect me should things go south."
"Master, please don't misunderstand. Just because it's the Immortal Realm, doesn't mean that we are unkillable," Galatris replied with a serious tone, "Rajansam as a 4th Layer Eternal Immortal might seem invincible to you now, but don't forget that he has died once already. If we were to fight, I estimate that I would be able to best him in a few hours, and yet I'm not the strongest being in my world. I know at least 120 cultivators that could kill me in under an hour, and that is just the number of people I know."
"I understand your point, but I don't plan on starting a fight that I can't fight myself. I don't want to depend too much on you or Rajansam, I don't even want to depend on Gregory, Gabriel, Rachel, or Hannah too much. I'm glad that I have your backing, which I can call if things get out of my hands too much, but just knowing this doesn't mean I have any plans to start a slaughter. For the time being, I want to create a faction of my own, and focus on growing stronger, so I won't need to rely on you. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Oh yes, I understand you well, Master," Galatris answered with obvious satisfaction in his voice, "Given your innate ability, it appears that there is no need to continue the evaluation."
"I agree with this statement. I'm sure someone like you has more important things on his agenda than to overlook such a boring process." Keiren stated, looking at the group of people that gained a new life because of him. It was so surreal and crazy that he was losing the grasp on his 'common sense' that he thought he had.
