Luke looked at the dagger in his hand, which was emitting a faint violet light that was visible only to him.

  *on Dagger:Quality: OrdinarySturdiness: 10/10Skill: Wind Bde(Entment)*

  “Excellent! Although it is a simple entment, it will add a bit of attack power to these daggers. It is the best I do sidering the base quality of the dagger and the fact that I have no entment materials. As soon as I have some money I will improve my equipment.”

  He had ented his ons, causing them to gain an increase in their attack power through the use of the elemental energy of wind, which was the easiest to use for simple entments.He had also ented his armor, and although it did not provide defe slightly increased his movement speed.

  “Well, now where should I go?”

  He unfolded a scroll of papyrus that tained a map of the area he was in. He had bought it in the m before leaving the city. As for the money he used to buy it, it had been kindly lent to him by Elian.

  He looked at the map carefully, trying to familiarize himself with the surrounding terraihen opehe system map, which was much more inplete, as it only showed pces he had visited before. He pared both maps and saw that, at least in the parts that currently overpped, there was not a huge differewees. That forted him. The system map obviously had no errors, so the map he had bought at a high price this m was at least reliable enough to move around without worry.

  He looked at the map carefully for a few minutes, pnning the route to follow; his pn was to be out of the city for a couple of days. After all, he did not know how long it would take him to plete the mission.That's right, Luke had finally received a new mission from the system.

  *Mission 05 - No more cramps!:

  How you live a full life without mobility? Winning over the woman of your dreams is an uphill battle without your own carriage? It's time to step up and fix it!

  Objective: Find a mount worthy of you.

  Rewards: Tamihod, breedihod, cultivatiohod for the mount, binding teique (tract).(The rarer or more powerful the creature used as a mount, the better the quality of the reward) *

  “This missis back memories. In my past life I also had a simir mission, I wonder how my old panion is doing. sidering the information I was able to obtain from the church, this year is the same year I started my previous reination, is it a ce?”

  Luke sank into plex and unnecessary thoughts, it was a habit he had always carried. After a few moments, he sighed, looked up at the beautiful summer sky, and put aside his guesses, which were of no use at the moment anyway.

  “As soon as I , I will go see the people from my previous life. Although I am very far away right now, once my cultivation advances a little more, traveling long distances will not be a problem. There are so many people I want to see again. Above all, I want to avoid Tamara's death.”

  Luke paused, and everything around him seemed to bee silent, the atmosphere being somewhat gloomy.

  “And I also want to see my wife again. I o have answers.”

  He sighed again. He closed the map and put it in his backpack. Theood up from the tree trunk where he was sitting, brushed the dust off his clothes and stretched, stretg.

  “Alright, I have a more or less defined route now, it's time to start looking for that mount! I'm going to do some hunting while I'm at it, and I'll sell the pelts and other materials when I get back to town in a couple of days.”

  *Ding*

  *New quests avaible*

  *Quest 05 - Earning a living:

  Poverty limits our freedom and makes us proo illness! It's time to make some money and stop living in misery!

  Objective: Obtain at least 1000 gold s. (Stolen money will not be sidered as valid)

  Reward: Ekeko, System Wallet E, Mystery Box*1. *

  * Quest 06- Hunter's Heart:

  Hunting has been the livelihood of people siime immemorial, a man must know how to hunt!

  Objective: Obtain 100,000 hunting points.Hunting points will be distributed every time an animal is hunted. Depending on the level of the animal and the system's evaluation of it, a variable score will be assigo each prey.

  Reward: Hunting Bow, Iory E (only for prey and its pos), Evolution Pill*5

  (The higher the level of the hunted prey, the better the rewards)*

  Luke read the tent of the new quests that had appeared and again thought that the system was bugged.

  “A thousand gold s? I'm afraid that even the annual ine of a small ty is not that high. But leaving that aside, the Lunari do not use gold s as currency! I guess it will be another mission that I have to save for aime.”

  “And as for this hunting mission, at first g seems like there is nothing wrong, but I feel that there is some catch…”

  Luke took out his bow and at an impressive speed shot an arrow towards the forest. The arrow streaked through the sky at high speed, traversing a great distance, and finally embedded itself in the neck of an unsuspeg deer that was grazing.

  *Ding**Wild deer hunted. Points obtained: 0*

  “As I suspected, it couldn't be that simple. Right now I think of two possibilities, the first is that only animals with a certain level of pive points, and sidering that a on deer didn't give me even 0.1 points, it should be necessary to hunt mutant animals, with cultivation, or with some bloodline. If this were the case the difficulty of the mission is quite high, but not impossible.But if the sed possibility I'm thinking of happens, then the mission will simply be impossible.”

  As for the sed possibility he was thinking of, it was nothing more and nothihan that the system was bugged and anything he hunted would give him zero points, leaving him stuck at the beginning forever.

  “Damn system, I wish some mission offered a patch for the system as a reward. Where are the developers? I want to have a talk with them!”

  Luke began to curse the air again, he did it just to release some of his frustration, not only frustration towards the system, but also towards the events of his previous life that still weighed on his soul and he couldn't get rid of that weight for the moment.

  He sighed“And on top of that, mission 04 was also bugged, I wonder if it will be fixed at some point or should I sider it lost already.”

  Mission 04 - Date with the goddess, should have ended when the meeting with Namira ended in the m. However, the rewards were never distributed and the quest was still there as if it had not yet been pleted. Luke had sulted Syzy about it, but as usual he only got the ahe rewards will be distributed whee cludes.”

  He walked over to where the dead deer was arieved the arrow. He theated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to butcher the animal. The price he could get for selling the materials obtained from the deer was simply not good enough to take the trouble, instead it was more veo go deeper into the forest, away from the city and the trol of the Lunari. There he could find prey worthy of his time. Besides, he did not have the means to transport a rge amount of materials. If he had money he could have bought some accessory with spatial capabilities. But all the money he currently had had beeo him by Elian, and the young novice did not have a rge enough budget to buy su expensive gadget.The church had given him a pce to live, daily meals, and basic equipment. As for money, it had never been offered to him, and Luke had never asked for it. He had hands and legs and did not like to depend on others more than necessary.

  He looked deep into the forest, recalled the pnned route in his mind, a out on his journey. Not far from him, two groups of people followed him stealthily, each with pletely opposite missions.

  Meanwhile in a small vilge, in the Austral kingdom, east of the great forest.

  An old woman limped into a small hut located oskirts of the vilge. She was breathing heavily, and a bit of dried blood adorned her face.

  “We must go, miss, I came across a group of soldiers who were bing the area. I was able to elimihem, but our location has probably been promised.”

  A young girl, about fifteen years old, dressed in ordinary clothes that could not disguise her nobility and appease her beauty, listeo her subordinate's report with . With each passing day the enemies came closer and closer. With their backs against the wall, they would have no choice but to surrender and suffer the worst humiliations, ht uselessly to the death… Or ehe forest. But entering the forest would be suicide. A rge number of magical beasts inhabited it, and if they mao avoid the magical beasts, they would enter the Lunaris, which would be another dead end.

  “thia, do we have to run again? 't we go bae?”

  She looked tenderly at little Aria who loo go home, and her gaze was filled with sorrow. Could they ever go back? That po longer existed.

  “We have to get going again Aria. I know you miss our home, but for now we 't go back. But as soon as everything calms down I promise you that we will return and everything will be fine” Her voice broke a little at the end of the sentence. She had to be strong, now that her older brother was gone, she was the pilr of the small family.

  “Go wake Julian, I will prepare gage and we will leave immediately” thia said trying to appear strong in the eyes of her little sister.

  Aria ran into the room to look for her younger brother. Meanwhile thia and the old repared as best they could everything necessary for the trip.

  “Where will we go now, young dy?” the old woman asked

  “We will tinue movi, it is the only path left to us”

  The old woman saw thia's determined expression, and her deep blue eyes in which the fire still burned. She sighed and thought. “I will apany them to the end, no matter what happens, master Lyriksen”
