Chapter. 20

Quests

Leaving an empty dungeon behind.

The group rushes back. Soon after sunset, we reach the entrance of the Serenk Forest. At this rate, we should be able to reach our destination within the next day.

Do you think the destination is close enough?

In fact, he began to ask Heron a few questions. It was mostly about what he did before he became an undead, or Radina. Heron answers sincerely with a scratching voice.

After a short time.

When he finished, he cleared the three spirits that were hovering around the room. Then I started talking.

"But, my king,"

"Huh?"

"Those ghosts."

"Danes and fountains?"

Heron nods. Immediately, I asked as if I was wondering.

"Why do you call me that?"

Scared to death of what he said.

Dandan and the stream tremble.

[It's rude for a man to just be a part of a family!]

[How dare you insult the name the king has given you!]

Ghosts soon burst into old age.

But Heron doesn't care. Ignoring it, just waiting for the real answer. Soon, reality opened its mouth.

"I was going to call her by her real name, but I didn't see her, so I named her."

"What about his real name?"

"If you look closely at the undead you can talk to, you'll see his real name."

The silk thread closes for a moment, gazing at Heron.

"You may be a little blurry, but you look a little bit like your name now. It said" Horoy. "

"· · · · · · It doesn't look the same at all."

With a sigh, Heron mutters a little.

In fact, he spoke again.

"But they didn't see their names at all. So I thought about how to call it, and I named it · · · · · · · · · ·. Is that weird?"

Scratch your cheek and smile awkwardly.

As soon as the words were finished, a frightening look poured out from the three spirits. Heron shakes his head in a hurry because he has something to be aware of.

"No, they look great together."

"Yeah? Then you have one just like it."

"I like my name."

Heron replies with just the right cut.

Since then, I've had the most meaningful conversations.

Suddenly, my ears started twitching. When I hear strange sounds, or when I think of something I've forgotten, I have a reaction like that.

"Oh, right. I wanted to ask you something."

This time it's the latter.

Silvan asked Heron with his gaze fixed.

"What is all death?"

Twitch

At the end of the question, Irina, who was walking earlier, reacted to Ferda as well. Heron also lit up the silent glare. After a while, Heron slowly opens his mouth.

"The living dead are called kings."

The pinnacle of a commander.

All death has so defined itself. It was never a lie. We've brought hundreds of bodies back to life with one hand and left them under the leadership of tens of angry undead.

You even brought back the High Elf Heron.

I took the information I knew out of my mouth.

Suddenly, reality intervenes in the middle.

"Then what is the purpose of all death?"

"Purpose?"

"Yes. For a reason, I would have told you to raise an army."

It makes sense. Heron shuts up for a moment and stutters. Not long after, there was one thing that came to mind.

"Ah, the goal is to get the body back."

"Body?"

"Yes, I'm sure you did. I don't know why."

The answer I felt confident about was that the reality was the body.

"What happens after we get the body back?"

In the questions that followed, Heron closes his mouth.

The golden starlight burns like a silent flame. It's like, "Can I say this? It seemed to be worrying. However, I did not hesitate for long. He replies with a heavy sinking voice.

"Covering the world with death. That's the whole point of death."

"· · · · · ·!"

Irona's eyes narrow. The three spirits I was listening to and the face of reality were also filled with a shock. Surprised by a larger and more intimidating goal than I thought.

Ferda, on the other hand, looks like a grave.

Because I already knew that.

Preventing the four catastrophes that threaten the world. This was the main story of the original, and the purpose of the protagonist Silvan Archdut. The first of its kind was the first disaster that started in the Senek Forest.

‘· · · · · · · Death Disaster. ’

Ferda's eyes gleam brightly.

I saw it in a novel once. There was a great commander who once threatened this world.

He dreamed of eternal life by creating a kingdom of the dead, but he couldn't. The world came together and stood up to him. Eventually, I was torn to shreds by the living.

But the tragedy did not end there. I couldn't face a complete death because my temper was too high. The unsaved soul rots with a shredded body.

As the years of tyranny passed, even the outrage of being faded away.

Coincidence or inevitability, he opened his eyes again.

In the name of the plague of death.

‘Couldn't stop it in the first season. ’

At that time, I didn't even realize what real talent was. He did not know how many disasters threatened the world or what kind of disasters there were. Lack of information was too lacking.

As a result, the Serenek Forest burned and many became dead. The Holy Nation sent reinforcements aware of the seriousness of the crisis, but the tide of death had already spread throughout the kingdom.

In the end, he faced his first death.

And the first season ended with him.

A terrible bad-end with no dreams or hopes. Is that why? I remember a lot of readers turning their backs at the time.

‘But this time it's different. ’

Even before the disaster began, he Awakened the reality as a commander. It was the fastest of all seasons. Moreover, he has allied himself with the powerful Heron and has left three ghosts that were not present in the original article.

The preparations are flawless. Ferda's eyes are filled with determination.

‘Stop it at all times. ’

Knng!

I couldn't help my fist.

Then, in his ears, you hear the conversation between Silicon and Heron.

"· · · · · · The last thing I remember was that the day of promise was soon."

"Promise day?"

"It means beginning to cover the world with death."

There is a double in the eye of reality.

If you know when the day of the appointment is, you can make the least of it. In reality, he asked in an excited voice.

"When is the day?"

"I'm sorry, I haven't heard that far."

However, the expectation quickly turned to disappointment.

Ferda, on the other hand, knew roughly when the day of the appointment was. Every time the first disaster started and the death squad hit, it was always the same sentence in each season. Like we made a promise.

On the day of the end of summer, all the waves of death came.

Usually from the end of August to the beginning of September.

But this time there was a problem.

‘Too much has changed. ’

Sergek's lion has changed, and a dungeon that was not in the original book has emerged. I gained a lot of speed, and there were many other changes. So it's dangerous to trust the information in a novel.

‘I'll have to find out when I get to town. ’

Dark Elf's Maturity Ceremony is performed alone without anyone's help. Then you'll have plenty of time to move alone. Ferda began to prioritize based on the importance of her work.

It was then.

[Reminder]

We have reached the forest of Sernerk.

Sudden system message.

It gives a strange look to Ferda's face.

What? You've never been to a new neighborhood with a message like this before?

Just when I tilted my head in a narrow glance.

A new message came to mind.

[Reminder]

* A World Quest has occurred.

* Do you want to accept the quest?

[YES]/[OK]

Ujik

At that moment, I stopped walking without knowing it. I looked at the contents of the message with my eyes wide open. Then, the mass of the real thread that followed stopped.

"Ferda? What's wrong?"

"· · · · · · · No, it's nothing."

Ferda shakes her head.

I immediately walked again. However, the gaze remained fixed in the system window. With a slight shiver in her eyes, Ferda bites her lips slightly.

‘Quest, what the heck. ’

Tasks given to players to ensure smooth game progress. This is a common quest that most people think of. But the quests given by the Yggdrasil system were different.

The mission to the impossible was a placenta, and the penalty for failure was enormous. Of course, the reward was thick, but there were not many hunters lurking there. He will, because his mortality rate is over 50 percent.

So Hunters take full consideration of the area, timing and current condition in which the quest occurred and decide whether to accept it. So was Ferda. However, this is only for regular quests.

World quests were different.

‘I never thought this would happen. ’

Just looking at the selection window, it was impossible to refuse. The scale was also enormous as the word World was labeled. In other words, it was difficult and rewarding.

‘There's nothing I can do. ’

There's only one option. Fear is a waste of time. Ferda presses the [YES] button without hesitation.

[World Quest: Savior]

* Progress: (1 of 4)

[Completion Condition]

Preventing the catastrophe of death within the time limit

Day 69 15: 47

The World Quest is called 'Savior. ’

Unfortunately, it was the same as the original title. Moreover, based on progress and completion requirements, it seemed to be related to four major disasters.

"Surprisingly fine. ’

I had two eyes.

Even if it wasn't a quest, it was the right thing to do to prevent disasters. If we let all die, we could have been brought back to a greater disaster. Ferda carefully reads the contents.

Then suddenly I stopped looking at the reward part.

"You can choose a skill? ’

Eyes are frozen with a dramatic reward to the equipment. When I first saw the word World Quest, it was true that I felt a bit uneasy. But after seeing the content and rewards, I was sure.

This is just a performance.

‘And · · · · · · · · · ·. ’

Ferda's gaze reaches the bottom.

The time limit attached with the condition to prevent disasters. It was obvious what this meant. It refers to the day of promise that every death spoke of.

If you prevent a disaster that must be stopped, you will be rewarded with a great reward.

Moreover, I knew the exact date when the disaster began. This was a fight I could never lose. Ferda grins with a eager face.

It was then.

Irina, in the lead, suddenly stops walking. The group stops at their posts. As she circles around, she reaches out a big finger and taps the air lightly.

Knock, knock.

You hear a knock at the door.

A moment later, something amazing happened. A calm wave appeared in the void where there would be nothing, and the landscape of the surrounding area suddenly changed.

Saaaaaa

You hear the wind blowing and the leaves shaking.

Immediately, the green leaf soaked into purple (32043; white). The earth turned gray and the trees that were ordinary turned into giants. When the starry sky was completely covered, the forest was full of darkness.

Bloop!

At that time, a number of subtle fireballs appeared. It was a child spirit of fire. Irina turns away as the fire brightens her surroundings.

"In fact."

With a slightly excited voice.

The golden eyes beyond the mask curl like a crescent.

"Welcome back to Senek Forest."
