Chapter 273: Unique Quest
"Let me tell you about this then. This scroll is a map that will help me get to the Moon Armor. I am quite curious about how your father got it. Still, he did a great service by getting me this map," Ryder replied as he opened the map and started looking inside it.
He was right. The scroll was indeed a map. It had various lines and various markings that it showed.
Ryder looked at the Map, but instead of getting happy, he got confused the more he watched the map. He couldn’t understand a thing about the map.
There were no words on the map: just various lines and a cross at the center.
"Come here. Take a look. I don’t have any clue about the place on this map. Do you have any idea?" Ryder asked Rale as he asked him to move over.
Rale stood up and walked closer, and looked at the map.
"This..." I think I have seen a similar map before. I would have to look inside the library again, but from my initial assumption, this map is of a city in the Death Domain," Rale let out as he frowned.
"A city in the Death Domain? It looks like I’ll have to hasten to the Death Domain. This just gave me even more reason to go there," Ryder muttered as he rolled back the scroll and placed it back into his inventory.
’ Sigh, I still need to go and do that quest with Shu. It’s so strange that I’m spending less time in the main game and more time here doing secret quests. I wonder if there is anyone else that got a similar secret quest like this," Ryder muttered as he frowned.
While Ryder was wondering if anyone else had a Secret Quest or not, there was another person that was going through something important.
Alice had also joined Divinity a few weeks after he joined. She had even left the Novice Village. Alive took ten days to clear the novice village, which was the time a weak novice would take. It was Alice’s first time playing Divinity or any mainstream game of this caliber. She had initial difficulty, but after ten days and doing quests in the village, she had passed the Novice Village as she became a level five player.
Alice had also entered the first kingdom that every player spawned in after passing through the Novice Village.
She appeared on the same spot on the Estella Kingdom where Ryder had appeared the first time he spawned here.
She had studied some details about the gameplay on online forums, so she knew where she had to go to get her class.
She started walking towards the Church of the Estella Kingdom.
As Alice was walking towards the church, she saw an old woman walking towards her from the other site. The old woman was hit by a man accidentally as she fell down.
Alice ran up to the woman.
"Uh, Grandma. Let me help you," Alice said as she placed her hand on the woman’s shoulders to help her up.
" T-thank you, kind lady," the old woman thanked Alice.
"It’s no trouble, Grandma. Please tell me where your home is. Let me escort you there. It’s the least I can do," Alice said to the woman with an innocent smile on her face.
"Ah, no. Don’t worry about me. I can really go home without any trouble. It’s nearby. Please don’t waste your time on an old and insignificant lady like me," the old lady told Alice as she waved her hand.
"If it’s nearby, then that’s even less of a problem. I can easily take you there, and I’ll be back in no time as well," Alice chuckled as she refused to budge in her stance.
"Hahaha, You’re a really kind girl and a really stubborn one as well. Just like how I used to be in my young days," the woman finally laughed as she agreed. "Fine. You can take me home."
Alice escorted the woman home.
The woman’s home was an old house on the outskirts of the Royal City of Estelle Kingdom.
Alice reached the small house with the woman.
"Thank you, kind girl," The old lady said to Alice as she bowed her head lightly.
"Don’t thank me, Grandma. It was just a little act of kindness. Anyway, I’ll be going back now. I still need to get my class," Alice said as she started walking away.
The old lady smiled as she looked at Alice, leaving.
" You old bastard! You think you can live in peace without giving me back my money?! I’ll kill you today!"
While Alice was leaving, she heard a loud shout from being. She saw a bearded man staring at the old woman with a knife in his hand. He started running towards the old lady to kill him.
"Stop!"
Alice also started running towards the lady to stop the man as she shouted.
Alice had reached level 5 by doing normal tasks in the novice village, so she had no fighting experience at all. She didn’t even have any skills that she collected in the Novice Village unlike Ryder that left the Novice Village with two powerful skills.
Alice was just a normal girl with level 5 stats.
She reached the man first and held his hand to stop the knife from hitting the stomach of the old lady.
"Don’t kill her!" Alice scolded the man, but her eyes opened wide as she saw the man using a different knife to stab her back.
"You dared to block my hand! You deserve what you got!" the bearded man let out with a cruel grin on his face.
Alice’s HP continued going down.
The bearded man pulled out the knife as he looked towards the old lady, but that’s when he noticed the city guards.
"Crap! Why are the guards at this part of the city!" the bearded man cursed as he started running away.
Alice’s HP hit zero.
[You have lost all your HP]
[Level -1]
[You will be logged out in 10]
[9]
[8]
...
The countdown of logout began as Alice watched her body turning transparent.
"You little girls are really kind. Not many people will help an old lady reach her home. Not only that, you even sacrificed your life for me. I think you are what they call the Warrior of the Goddess. When you come back to this place in two days, make sure to come to my house," The woman told Alice.
While Alice was confused, she heard a system prompt.
[The Old Lady has given you a quest]
[Quest: Come to her house after respawning]
[Quest Grade: Unique]
[Quest Difficulty: None]
[Reward: A unique class Quest]
[Do you wish to accept?]
[Y/N]
Alice looked at the quest prompt and hurriedly tapped on yes before the logout timer hit zero.
[Quest Accepted]
That was the last thing that Alice saw before she woke up in the real world. She took off her glasses and sat up.
"Unique Class Quest? I heard about them. They are so rare. How did I get it so easily," Alice muttered as she looked at the door.
"This must be because I helped that lady. The game is hiding class Quest behind such menial tasks. This is really interesting. I should tell Brother about this. If he does the same task, he can get the Same Glass as well. We’ll have the same class then," she continued excitedly as she stood up, but she stopped herself.
She sat down on the bed again as she shook her head.
"Wait a minute; he already has a class. He can’t take a second class, I think. Also, I haven’t told him that I have started playing Divinity. I should wait and get stronger before I join his team to help him," she muttered.
The Vampire King and High Duke Eston entered the Great Hall with Devilia and High Duke Mila.
"Welcome, Vampire King and High Duke Eston. Take a seat and rest a little before we get to work," Ryder told everyone.
What happened next was the same as the last timeline. High Duke Eston still didn’t know about the infiltration by the Death Domain.
High Duke Mila told High Duke Eston about the need to use Dreimaia. After their initial banter like last time, High Duke Eaton agreed.
" Rale, you go ahead with High Duke Eston and Devilia. High Duke Mila and I will stay back with the Vampire King," Ryder told Rale.
This was the change he had made in this timeline. Instead of sending the Vampire King, he was sending Rale with High Duke Eston. He had already told Rale to inform High Duke Eston about the plan without letting Devilia head. Rale could do it, and since the Vampire King wouldn’t be here, he can’t hear the plan.
Rale is stronger than Devilia, so she would have a hard time hearing them as well, but still, Ryder told Devilia to come back instantly after showing High Duke Eston that place, leaving them there. Devilia was confused, but she agreed.
