Chapter 54: The Impossible Quest (1/2)

The Impossible Quest was located in the snowy mountains, far away from the beginner city called Hemil City. The white world had many monsters confined within such as ferocious wolves and bears that had adapted to the cold environment.

Those were around level forty and one would be able to see many trails left by their bodies around the white forest. However, that would be only if one stepped off the road. Following the main road, Michu and his friends finally got greeted by the unobtainable peak.

It was already snowy and their bodies required thick and warm clothes, ”This realism... I wish I could literally curse on it,” Sandra whispered, her words bringing out the white mist.

She wore a long and furry coat just like Michu and Venomous. It was a special piece of equipment that could be put on their already-on equipment. Of course, the realism also had to say something and forced the witch to give up on her hat and boots. Sandra had to hide her face with a hoodie and wear uncomfortable boots, but that saved her HP from falling.

Had she appeared here without any preparation, Sandra's frozen body would have been the first one to fall dead here. Her two friends had higher stamina, so they would survive a few seconds more without any equipment.

But Yumi wouldn't be Yumi if she didn't prepare anything, ”We don't curse here,” Venomous also added while faintly laughing. The Impossible Quest was here, but it would teleport them to an even harsher snowy environment.

The wrap was just at the mountain's feet, so the party's steps never stopped.

”What is the history of this Impossible Quest?” Their journey here had been long, so Michu couldn't hide his expectations anymore. He wanted to see the quest with his own eyes, but the path would still take some time.

Thus, he asked. His ears twitched as he got a rather absurd answer, ”One player spent the whole year here. For players, one year is too much time, isn't it? Players want fast-paced quests filled with monster killings and other schemes.”

”You can do so many things in one year! I understand,” Michu nodded.

Venomous continued, ”That's it. But there's a worse element of this quest. It's not certain that you would be able to complete it by spending a whole year here. Still, the players that had accomplished this quest left it with treasures in their hands.”

Just as Yumi was about to speak further about those treasures, the group of players looked at them with their lips faintly raised. This kind of expression was clearly condescending and Michu didn't like it.

He wanted to ask them why they would look at them like that, but the leader of this group took a peek at them, ”You think you can be like Zerze? There are so many idiots around here nowadays.”

”Zerze?” Michu titled his head.

”The player that went through this Impossible Quest in less than a month. Don't tell me you haven't heard of him? Everyone is here because of him.” The man didn't believe Michu and sent him a glare that forced Michu to plead guilty.

Venomous cut in, ”I learned about this Impossible Quest through Zerze's fame.” Her eyes glared back at the leader who flinched as if something had bitten him already, ”Don't force your thoughts on others. There are too many Impossible Quests to count. This one has such a name because it's exposed to everyone.”

”Tche. I don't need you to tell me that. No need to act smart-ass,” The leader averted his eyes, then resumed his steps. He didn't want to deal with Venomous anymore, ”You all will just lose your time and equipment here anyway. Some people are just destined to clear some things faster.”

”Well, save your contradicting heart to yourself,” Yumi waved her hand as well and continued to go forward. She explained about Zerze and his impossible achievement, ”Impossible Quest, Impossible Achievement. It all sounds epic and like a big clickbait, but he did it. I didn't propose this quest because of his deed, though. I have a feeling that... a strong mentality is required for this quest to come through, so it fits us.” Yumi glanced at Michu, then turned belatedly to Sandra as if she'd forgotten about her for a little.

Sandra forced a smile to appear on her face, ”I will pray for at least one of us to complete it. For me, it will be a good test too.” She didn't back off and added, ”I will make the most out of it.” This challenged Venomous who knew what Sandra had in mind.

The Prince Charming had already infected both of them, or at least that was how it looked. A few minutes later, Michu appeared before the cave whose entrance had been turned into a blue-white portal.

It whirled and charmed one's eyes with its content, but Michu felt like his mind spun instead. He got slightly nauseating, forcing him to say, ”Can we go already?” Both Sandra and Venomous were done with their check-ups, so they nodded and all of them went together into it.

Michu glanced at Yakuzan, ”Hold tight.” Yakuzan was silent because he couldn't wear his sunglasses here! He nodded decisively with a threatening hue in his eyes! The other monkey just shook his head while looking at all those people and their preparations!

The world then turned blue and Michu appeared in a new world... alone.
