Chapter 7

[[Adventure 2-1. 'The Exiled']

There are many unfortunate lives in the Pointy Mountains. They are those who have been exiled from the Rock Molar Tribe.

You have met with one of those exiled and have discovered that he is infected by a horrible endemic disease. The exiled, through much research, learned that the 'Corpse Finger Mushroom', a mushroom that grows on the cliffside of the Pointy Mountains, was necessary to cure the disease. If you are able to find that mushroom for him, he will help you.

Objective: Find the Corpse Finger Mushroom and deliver it to the exiled.

Remaining Time ⌜10:59⌟]

'Did it work?'

The exiled in front of him was shaking, like he had been struck by lightning. He was overcome with emotion after hearing that Seol would do something for him.

Seol gave a nod then walked out of the mud hut.

Side Quests, otherwise known as hidden quests, were another mechanic of The World of Eternity.

When they activated, they changed the flow of the Adventure massively.

The 'The Exiled' side quest was a bit different from most normal side quests.

'Because this one gives you a helper as a reward.'

Helper.

As the game piece embarks on their adventure, they sometimes turn the NPCs into their helpers.

The helpers, depending on their Favorability, actively or passively help out the character.

The helpers themselves have ranks as well and according to Seol's memories, the exiled was quite high-ranked.

That was the reason why Seol is using his precious time to help out the exiled.

Seol was trying to use the side quest to overturn the situation he was put into.

After he accepted the side quest, he checked the remaining time on the main Adventure.

Right now, it was just a little past 3 p.m.

If he was even the tiniest bit slow, there was a possibility that he wouldn't be able to get the item that he wanted.

Seol, feeling the pressure, rushed up the mountain.

The air started to cool.

It was still light out, yes, but soon the sun will set and night will come.

'I don't have time to look for it tomorrow too... but at least I was able to find it.'

Seol had to defeat the Rock Molar leaders by noon tomorrow.

That's why the most time he had to give the exiled was today.

Seol, after many complications, eventually arrived at the cliff.

- It's not here.

- It's not.

- Excuse me... I can't see that mushroom or trumpet or whatever you were supposed to find...

- He's just struggling desperately to do whatever he can. But what are you doing dude? You don't have much time.

- The commenter above me, please chill out haha. Even Magata, the youngest of the 5 brothers, requires the entire party to beat. So how is he going to kill him solo? Lol

- It's because it's such a waste of time! I can't believe he's dying here even though he has the mechanics and the judgment...

The people that were watching him made countless comments thinking that this situation was such a shame even though Seol couldn't read them at all.
