Chapter 47: The Quest of A Secret ss
"System alert: What is the decision of the yer? Will yer abandon the shrine of death quest and embraces the shrine of life quest? Will yer abandon the shrine of life quest and embraces the shrine of death quest? Or does the yer has another decision?"
"System alert: yer has to be warned, any choice he will make will be permanent, with no ability to change it again."
"What the F*uck!" Bloom loudly cursed, as this long train of alerts made him more shocked!
He never heard of this shrine of life before! Shrine of death was famous in his previous life, to some extent, but there was no mention of any shrine of life, not at all!
And now, he was forced to choose between one of the two shrines! That even made him angrier towards this game! he didn''t want to belong to a faction! He wanted to destroy them all!
As he calmed down, he reread these alerts again, and this time he noticed something, he had the option to select another path other than the two suggested by the system.
"I chose to be alone, not belonging to any faction," he said.
"System alert: yer has rtion to two out of ten factions in the game. If the yer isn''t going to choose any of the two factions, he must select the faction he would y under."
"You are really annoying, you know that!" Bloom wasn''t satisfied by thisst request of the game system, so he replied with anger:
"Fine, I refuse to attach myself to join any faction, instead I n to be the enemy to all!"
He blurted that out, waiting for the system to tell him this was impossible to achieve, however the system had replied totally different to his expectations:
"System alert: yer has refused to join any of the ten factions."
"System alert: yer has decided to be the enemy of all factions."
"System alert: yer has already killed other yers."
"System alert: yer has already stolen a quest from another yer."
"System alert: yer has already tricked other yers and acquired items belonging to other yers without their knowledge."
"System alert: yer is eligible to unlock a secret ss."
"System alert: yer has to fulfill these conditions before being eligible to wield the secret ss:
1. yer has to kill one NPC at least.
2. yer has to trick one NPC at least, and acquire something belonging to him without his knowledge.
3. yer has to kill one hundred yers.
4. yer has to do this before reaching level ten."
"System alert: Failing to acquire the secret ss will be considered as failure by the system. As punishment, yer will be forced to belong to one of the two factions, selected randomly."
Bloom read all these messages, before he muttered:
"What is this secret ss?"
"System alert: ssified!"
The response of the system of the game was cold and with no info at all. Bloom reread all these messages and he finally understood something.
Even if he nned to wreck this game, this game would still fall on a scenario prepared for such situations! Even all his actions were considered part of the conditions to open a secret ss! and even all his deeds weren''t enough to make him open the ss now.
"So, basically I have to deal with NPCs from now on!" he muttered as this was all he needed to do, "the only issue here is rted to that quest of the death shrine, as that NPC who stole the relic isn''t here!"
This was his own dilemma, as he didn''t want to abandon the two swords or his title.
Before he made up his mind, a system notification appeared again, startling him.
"System alert: An elder of the shrine of life has detected the presence of the seed of the tree of life. He has entered the map, and is waiting for you at the white mountain located at the end of the map."
Bloom looked in a strange way towards thisst notification. "Game system san, if you have anything else you wanna say, say it now then," he shouted towards the sky, as he was already pissed of all these many alerts, which didn''te all at once!
He waited for a couple of minutes before he finally rxed. The next thing he did was to open the game map, and see where this white mountain was!
The mountain was marked in his map, and it was really far from his current ce. He estimated he needed at least six hours to go there. He closed the map as his mind started thinking about his next step.
He had to trick, and kill NPCs, plus many yers as well. He didn''t mind the yers'' quest, as this was already easy to achieve. Many yers were already gathering to kill him, and so it seemed fair for him to start hunting them, killing them instead.
What caused a slight headache for him was the quest of killing and tricking the NPCs. He had to do these tasks without losing his title or swords, so he needed first toplete the quest, before he could do anything else.
"I must convince the NPC to help!" he said, as he took out thepass given to him by the death shrine elder. The moment he took it out, it started to rotate, aimlessly, as usual, before the needle stopped and pointed in a certain direction.
"What the hell!" he muttered in shock, before he realized a more shocking thing. He hurriedly reopened his map again, andpared thepass direction with the direction of the white mountain!
Before this, he once took out thepass to examine it, but its needle kept spinning, pointing to nowhere. That seemed logical, as the NPC he was looking for wasn''t here at all.
However, the needle was now pointing in a certain direction, and strangely it was the same direction of the white mountain.
"Don''t tell me that thief was an NPC of the life shrine!" that was the only exnation he had in mind, "that''s awesome!!" he cheerfully muttered, as this was indeed very good news.
Suddenly a n started to take shape inside his mind, and he liked this n. If things went as he nned already, then he would keep the two swords, the mighty title, andplete the new assignments for him at the same time!
Before he could celebrate more, or even think deeper about his new n, a sudden shout came to interrupt his brain storming.
"Here, I found him! he is here!"
This sudden shout came from far, as a group of ten yers appeared in his eyesight. It was a team of yers, and they were one of the endless teams looking for him.
He just sighed, as he wanted more time to think about his n. However he didn''t retreat, at all, as he wanted to kill a hundred yers now.
"Let''s get this small questpleted first as an appetizer," he muttered to himself, while his face showed an evil expression.
It was time to show yers here how foolish it was to stand against him!
