Chapter 18 - Grinding (2/2)

Marvelous!

Will couldn't stare at Modus' face any longer, so he decided to look at Adelda. The visible disgust that was on her face had disappeared at the moment and had been replaced by something else. Will wasn't quite sure what it was.

But as long as she isn't creeped out by me it's all good. Looks like my valiant efforts scored me some points with my waifu! Yes!

Will did a mental fist pump when he thought of this, however, if he realized what she was truly thinking about, he would not be as happy.

I don't get it. How did he survive this? What is it about this human that makes Lord Modus so interested? None of this makes any sense at all. I'm going to have to investigate this boy carefully. Becoming his wife? Hmph! He has a better chance of ascending to the heavens.

”Okay young man, get up. I don't have all day.”

Will immediately responded to Modus' instructions and got up, even patting himself down to look less dirty.

Have to score more points in front of waifu, women like clean and responsible men, right? She must be so impressed right now...

Will couldn't help but reveal a smug expression at his silly thoughts.

Why are you being so smug in front of Lord Modus you ingrate!

Little did Will know that he was becoming more and more of a nuisance in Adelda's eyes. When she thought of the fact that she was going to have to monitor him in the near future, she pitied herself.

”So, how does it feel, defeating your first boss? It must feel good right?” said Modus with a cheeky grin.

”Well, it wasn't that hard... I mean, I didn't even get that much experience anyway, which is kind of disappointing,” said Will, trying to sound cool.

That's when a thought that had been in the back of his mind suddenly surfaced.

Pause! I didn't get any experience! At all!

”Well, that's good. Your next task will be much harder to keep up the good work. Adelda!”

”Yes my Lord.”

As quickly as they appeared, Modus and Adelda left a distraught Will.

”My experience, where is my experience!?”

Unfortunately, no one responded to his shout. Will was about to shout again when a strange event occurred: a mail icon had appeared in his vision. This was a first, so Will was unsure what he should do.

He tried to touch it but nothing happened. ”Mail open!” Even after shouting still, nothing happened, causing Will to feel embarrassed. That's when an idea struck him.

He immediately closed one eye and poked the mail symbol. This time he got a response.

A new quest is available. The quest is to perform Ten Thousand True Strikes.

Quest rank: Unknown

Reward: None

These words floated in Will's vision for a few seconds. After contemplating what he had read, Will could not help but kneel to the ground helplessly for he knew exactly what a true strike was. As he knelt, numbers appeared in the top right corner of his vision.

True Strikes: 0/10000
