As the items appeared in Luke's hand, Bobby asked, "Are those any good?""Why don't you check for yourself?" Luke asked back as he lifted the items for everyone to see.[Item Information][Enchanted Sword][Uncommon][+5 Attack][A regular sword that has been enchanted to be more durable.][Item Information][Improved Vessel][Rare][A vessel that can be used to improve any items that are placed inside it.][However, only items below Rare can be improved and can only be improved up to Rare.]The party studied the items he had. Admittedly, it had been a tough choice to make. There were several good Rare items to pick from, but he had to think objectively. Picking items that proved protection against one element might seem good now, but in the long run, it was better to wait for better items. They would only protect the wearer, and only to a certain extent. Also, he didn't need a strong weapon when he already had the claymore."Wait. Why did you get another sword? I thought you already
"So that's it then. Now that everyone has their rewards, we should get going," said Bobby."Wait," Grace squeaked, making everyone stare at her and causing her to wilt under all the attention.Luke had no problem speaking for her and said, "Grace hasn't chosen her items yet. She says she doesn't know what to pick.""Oh, I can help then," said Chris as he waved his hands in the air ecstatically.Grace gave him a small, uncertain smile. She obviously didn't want to ask him for his opinion after his poor choices, but she couldn't bring herself to reject him outright. Well, Luke didn't have a problem with telling him outright, and he wasn't the only one either. Theodore, Tracy, and Violet seemed to think the same as him, given the looks they were sending Chris's way."You," Theodore scoffed as he crossed his arms.As Chris glared at the man, Bobby patted Chris's shoulder and said, "I think that while she appreciates the offer, I don't think we are the right ones to judge. The other three
Grace wasn't sure how she had ended up in this situation. One moment she had been with the others. The next she was surrounded by demons. Well, that wasn't completely correct. She vaguely had an idea of what happened. It all started after she had chosen the items she wanted from the list. The choice had been really difficult, but she had made up her mind.She had picked the spectral chalice and enchanted staff. Everyone had been surprised she had picked the spectral chalice, even Luke, who had suggested the item. The name did sound a bit creepy and looked just as bad, but the item description sold her on getting it over all the other items she could have picked from.[Item Information][Spectral Chalice][Rare]
As the party stared at the tree with a huge hole in front of them, Chris quietly said, "Oh."Tracy threw a look in his direction as she said, "Oh."Luke almost felt sorry for him. Almost being the key word. It wasn't his fault that the nursery of racoons had somehow converted a tree into their home by creating a large hole in the bark and digging a hole in the dirt inside the tree. Unfortunately, even with the work the demon racoons put into it, it would be a tight squeeze for most of them.Theodore definitely wouldn't be able to fit inside. He would get stuck trying to fit inside the tree. That meant he would have to stay behind while they went in to find Grace. However, there was a problem with that plan. They wouldn't be able to defend themselves since they would already struggle to crawl inside. Also, there would be no way to escape if something ser
As soon as Grace saw that the coast was clear and it was just her party, she said, "Hi everyone.""Hi? Is that all you have to say?" Chris asked incredulously as Theodore helped her up. "You were kidnapped by demon racoons.""I'm sorry," she said as she bowed her head.Bobby elbowed Chris and said, "Ignore him. We were just seriously worried about you. You're not hurt, are you?""What happened to your cloak?" Tracy butted in without giving Grace a chance to answer.Grace stared blankly at them for a moment before she shook her head. "I'm fine. Actually, there's something I want to show you."Then she turned around and bent down at the hole as everyone stared at her with curious eyes. What was she doing? They couldn't tell what she was up to, but they
"So this quest of yours is a long and ongoing one," said Violet as she had her hands folded in her lap.The party, except for Tracy, who was holding the reins, sat around in the cart facing each other. They had left the area with the demon raccoons not too long ago and were making slow progress through the woods. Luckily, no demons had jumped out to attack them so far, but they were on their guard so as not to have another repeat of the earlier incident. No one wanted Grace to get caught again."That's right," said Bobby as he turned his head to fully face her."That's inconvenient. I don't have the same quest," she said as she raised a hand to her chin."It is a bit of a problem," Luke agreed with a nod."How is it a problem?" Chris asked as he raised a hand.
Grace raised her hand as she said, "A little. The townspeople were really open about telling me about the place when I asked about it."Everyone stared at her, even Theodore, and Tracy turned to look her straight in the eye. Confused by everyone's intense staring, she dropped her arm and wilted beneath all the attention. Luke had forgotten how she sometimes had that effect on the natives. It had been some time since he had seen it in action, as it had only happened once.The knights that had joined them had fallen under her spell when they first met, though it had been very brief. They had recovered, but it was likely because she wasn't a Saintess yet and Theodore had been there to snap them out of it even if he didn't know about it. It was a pity he missed seeing it in action. He would have liked to monitor their responses to her."Go ahead," Luke said
Chris and Grace quickly told her what the first quest was, and at the end of their explanation, she wrinkled her nose as she said, "What the hell. Is the system trying to kill you?"That was their question. It was honestly messed up, and that was only with one quest. There were still five quests for Luke and two other quests for everyone else. They had to somehow complete all of them without failing a single one, or else they would have to endure a penalty or punishment while trying to complete the remaining quests."Then what are the other two quests?" Tracy asked, and the duo from earlier also told her about them.[Quest][Demon Attack on Gartlev][The city is being threatened by demons.]
