Chapter 4: A Quest

As I followed the demon, the door that would usually be the door of my house is now a fancy door like the door used by the king of the British Empire, it was all covered with 25000 carats of diamonds.

She opened the door and all I see is just one old person sitting on the throne.

He is a tall and slender human with a wiry build.

He stands at six feet and two inches tall and has a lean, almost gaunt appearance.

His skin is pale, almost ghostly white, and his long fingers are bony and delicate.

He has a shock of wild, unruly hair that falls in tangled waves around his face, with a thick beard and mustache that are equally unkempt.

His deep-set eyes are a striking emerald green, with a piercing intensity that seems to bore into the soul.

He dresses in a long, flowing robe made of dark blue silk, with silver runes embroidered along the hems and cuffs.

The robe is held closed with a thick leather belt that also holds various pouches and arcane components.

Around his neck, he wears a silver amulet with a glowing blue gem at its center, which seems to pulsate with faint magical energy.

He wears simple leather boots that allow him to move quietly and with great agility.

Alaric: "Ecce.... Salve Mika, gratias tibi ago. Scisne cur te huc evocaverim?"

Cancel the translation, I know this is just Latin.

[System: Translating canceled]

Mika: "Ita, ad pugnam contra regem daemonum concursum esse puto?"

Alaric: "Hohoho.. you can speak our language?"

Mika: "It's just Latin, I learned that when I was five years old."

Alaric: "It seems I didn't summon you here for nothing, your job is not only to defeat the demon king, that's just for formality."

Mika: "Let me guess, I need to stop a world-ending corruption and save the Nine Realms from complete destruction while also ending the world's hunger?"

Alaric: "Hohoho... quiet the smart one aren't you? Well, it's not all wrong, your main goal is to stop the corruption that's happening in Yggdrasil, the land of the world tree, Yggdrasil is a nation of druids and nature worshippers. Its cities are built around great groves and sacred sites, and its people are skilled in the art of nature magic and shapeshifting. But recently, there has been major corruption caused by the shadow of the underworld."

I actually can't believe that I need to actually save something so big on my first-ever quest

Alaric: "Hohoho... you accepted the quest without a second thought, do keep in mind that you can't come back from your world even if you finish every task I gave you, also do your tutorial after you got teleported out from this location. Alright, that's all from me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a glowing blue light circled my body.

[This is the menu: it tells your character description]

[Each player has six main attributes: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. These attributes are rated on a scale of 1-100, with 30 being average.

In addition to abilities, characters also have skills that they can use during the exploration. For example, a player with high Dexterity might have the skill "Sleight of Hand" to pick locks or steal items. A player with high Intelligence might have the skill of "History" to recall information about the world has given.

Characters also have hit points, which represent their health. If a player takes damage from an attack, they lose hit points. If a character's hit points are reduced to zero, they are unconscious and may die if not treated. Players can use healing spells or potions to regain lost hit points. Hit points are displayed on percentages.

As characters go on adventures and complete quests, they earn Exp points (XP). When a player earns enough XP, they will level up, which might grant them new abilities and skills.

When a player reaches the maximum level, which is 1000, they can enter the breakthrough stage. This stage enables them to push their attributes to the limit, surpassing the usual 1 to 100 attribute range. The breakthrough stage consists of three stages.

CREATORS' THOUGHTS
MichaelYong MichaelYong

I apologize for using a scriptwriting format that may not be suitable for all readers.

Although it enhances engagement, it can be challenging to follow due to the use of technical jargon.

I understand that this format, similar to that of an RPG game system, may not cater to a broader audience.

Therefore, I may consider phasing it out in future chapters for a simpler approach. Thank you for your understanding.
