The day dawns. The sky is clear, and the golden sunlight pours through the bedroom window.

  Kaien slowly opens his eyes.

  Luna is still asleep in her bed, peaceful, with her usual calm and cold expression.

  He smiles… a beautiful, protective smile, full of affection for her.

  [(Elry System)]

  Daily Mission:

  — Do 55 push-ups

  — 55 sit-ups

  — Run 5 km

  Reward: Mysterious Box

  Kaien doesn’t complain.

  Without hesitation, he starts the mission with ease:

  Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.

  55 push-ups...

  55 sit-ups...

  Then he leaves his medieval stone house, running through the village outskirts.

  He runs the 5 km effortlessly, as if the system is now just a part of his life.

  Upon returning, he enters the room...

  Luna is still there, sleeping like a quiet little angel.

  [(Elry System)]

  Daily Mission completed successfully.

  Reward: Mysterious Box

  A glowing green magic box appears before Kaien.

  It opens on its own, revealing a shimmering pink rune, softly pulsing with arcane energy.

  [(Elry System)]

  Item received: Pink Rune

  — Only for: Your sister

  — +50% Strength

  — +25% Speed

  — -25% Control

  Kaien studies the rune carefully, confused.

  — A rune... for her? — he murmurs.

  Without saying anything else, he stores the item in the system inventory.

  Then, he approaches the bed, watching Luna sleep.

  — I promise, Luna... I’ll always protect you. Always.

  He leaves the room with steady steps, and then his medieval home as well.

  Outside, the village is alive:

  People walking, children training magic, merchants selling enchanted scrolls.

  Portals on the ground glow in different shades — gateways to various dungeons.

  Kaien walks calmly, taking it all in.

  But then… something catches his attention.

  A group is gathered near one of the portals:

  A mage in a blue cloak, a hunter with magical bows, and a healer in a white dress.

  Kaien watches them cautiously… sensing something strange.

  And then, the alert sounds.

  [(Elry System)]

  Urgent Mission!

  Protect the three guild members at the ground portal! Rank B Dungeon detected!!

  Immediate Danger Alert!

  Kaien clenches his fist. His heart races.

  — Another fight… more people to protect...

  He steps forward.

  The second arc was just beginning.
