“Long-term mission: Purify the Magic Realm’s contamination, Order Points shall be awarded separately depending on completion rate, allowed to establish stronghold within the Magic Realm.”
“Downtown Twilight Hospital, there’s a helpless tenant who needs your admission. (Limited time of three days, once expired would lose the mission forever).”
“Hmmm… What do you two think?” Dawn asked.
“I understand the meaning of long-term mission. It’s like that of the games, right? So instead of rewarding everything at the end, we can obtain the prizes in batches at various stages.” Boink was the first to speak and became more confused as he went on, “But what’s the deal with the Magic Realm? I never heard of it.”
“That’s a place of legends…” Shadow interjects and explains what she knew, “During my long lifespan, I’ve heard countless stories of this unknown plane of existence. They say it’s a vastly different world intersected with our own, and if the walls of reality weakened enough, one can even jump through and go over to the other side. But that’s only hearsay. I never actually met one that came back. In short, the Magic Realm is a dangerous and sinister place.”
“But why would anyone break in if it’s dangerous?” Dawn wondered and didn’t get why people would willingly jump into the firepit.
“Because rumor has it that the realm holds the secret to unparalleled power.” Shallow faintly smiles before sighing helplessly, “From ancient times to the present, there are always going to be those who are willing to obtain power at any length or price. Besides, when have you seen a madman think logically? If they are always thirsty for power, the fluke mentality is bound to be there as well.”
“Landlord, you are merely a little bit stronger than the ordinary folk, do not think about going down that path. I’ve seen all too many good people lose their ways in my time and became slaves to their own demons.”
Shadow’s genuine and heartfelt advice didn’t go down on deaf ears by the guy’s following reply.
“Then let’s leave this long-term mission aside for now, we don’t even know where the Demon Realm is anyway. It’s not a place where we can enter as we please.” Dawn understood the warning and felt relieved in the fact that they were willing to look out for his safety. “That leaves only the second mission doable. I’m going to pick up this so-called new tenant. Are you two interested in going together?”
This information only states that he needs to pick up this new renter, but it never indicates his reward afterward. But that’s no problem. What danger could there be at a hospital in the middle of downtown? Dawn’s only worry now was if the person would accept his proposal to come or not. There’s no way they would be ordinary, especially when it’s directly coming from this mysterious pendant.
“Me Me Me! I’m going!” Boink took the lead in making his stance, “I have a lot of free time these days!”
Dawn appeared surprised by the hamster’s initiative: “You don’t have to work? I thought you are an internet otaku, the kind that dies at home to game.”
Boink had a sad face at the mention: “The monster girl from the internet wants to facetime me. I haven’t transformed yet, how can I show my face to her? I need to go underground for now and wait for her to lose that idea.”
Dawn’s ability to process this scenario instantly short-circuited.
Shadow also raised her hand then since she could not follow the hamster’s flow. After being disconnected for a century, going out into society for any amount of time was a great opportunity. Besides, staying at home only makes her drowsy so “studying” was akin to torture.
“That lottery wheel…” Boink suddenly gets all awkward as he wiggles his body left and right, “Are we able to give it a spin now that we can use your pendant’s power too?”
“What do you mean by ‘we’? It’s you who wants to see so don’t add me into this without permission.” Shadow instantly shoots down the excuse.
Although she said this, those curious eyes peeking over to the guy already gave the catling away. Of course, Dawn wouldn’t expose the lady since this was her nature. What if that feral character explodes after going red? She might scratch him a new one.
