"Seriously, what is this? Is the mission getting harder, or am I in hard mode?" Marcus muttered to himself, frustration evident in his voice. "The first mission is already difficult as it is, and now what is with the second mission?! And the penalty?!"

The thought of facing XP and RP deductions hurts.

It's already difficult enough to get RP, but if Marcus fails the mission, his hard-earned RP will be gone.

"Damsel in Distress?" he repeated, reading the translucent screen. "Damsel... it means that it's a woman. Who could it be? And why do I have to change her fate?"

MARCUS decided to checks something in the Stardom Shop.

He might see something that he could use but to his disappointment—there was something but it was too expensive and he didn't have that luxury at the moment.

Rachel seethed with anger, her frustration boiling over."Answer me!" Marcus shouted again, and took his rifle to point it to the extra. "Answer me!
