Chapter 1202 A Penalty (2/2)

'A penalty? This is the first time the system has ever assigned such a thing. Why at a time like this? What would the penalty even be? Since the rewards are usually stats and level ups, could it be that it intends to take some of those away?'

This was worrying him more than anything. Without the teleporters, and with how far the other Cursed faction members were, it would take them a long time to even help out in the war. He needed to act fast if he wanted to save those planets.

Although he might not die, failing the Quest could lead to him getting weaker. If the system was able to give him stats and levels making him stronger than it stood to reason that could just as easily take them away.

'I think the same.' Vincent agreed. 'As you know, the system was based on a game. It uses AI that assigns Quests based on the information around it. The thing is I never thought a penalty would show up. In the game itself there were penalties each time you would die. Of course, in real life if you die you don't get a second chance so I never thought I would see this.'

'What type of penalties did the user get from dying?' Quinn asked, thinking that they might be similar.

'It was pretty random and could range from a loss of items or abilities, to the loss of levels, stats to just a simple loss of experience points.'

None of those options sounded good to Quinn. He had long since wanted to stop relying on the system. It was odd how quick it had allowed him to strengthen himself in certain areas. Even without its help Quinn could be considered to be plenty strong now, but to fight the likes of Arthur, Hilston or the Dalki leaders, he needed all the help he could get.

”Helen, I'll go out and look for those Travelers that are still outside. Using my shadow powers I am the ideal person to do it, but I won't be able to bring them back to the Shelter, I have something else I need to do. I'll carry on looking for the others instead.”

'”What are you saying, what are you planning to do Quinn?” Helen asked.

Looking at the large ship, and reading the Quest again, it was clear as day what he needed to do. He needed to find a way to destroy a ship that couldn't even be taken down by energy blasts.

'The outside is probably too strong, so the only way is to look for a way to sabotage it from the inside.' Quinn concluded. The system hadn't given him any Quests that had been completely impossible, so he hoped it hadn't started now. Then again, this was also the first time it had brought up a penalty…

”Assemble a team that is willing to go out with me, I'll help the others on the way, and they can update you on the Dalki situation once I've taken down that thing. Then we can focus on the rest.” Quinn ordered.

'The rest? That thing? He can't be planning to go from one planet to the next and take out the motherships, could he?' Helen was shocked. The amount of black pods that continued to rain down was testimony that there were far more Dalki on the planet than any of them had ever seen. It would be troublesome enough to just deal with them, but it looked like Quinn had made his mind.

Helen too wanted to save the Travelers. The only thing she could hope was that Quinn could come to his senses once they were on the outside.

As the leader of the Daisy faction she quickly called for the group of twelve individuals that would be sent with Quinn to get the Travelers that were outside and to bring them back information. These twelve were the ones who had been rewarded with the blood weapons.

Now that there was no way to deliver the rest of the weapons, he left them all in the hands of Helen to distribute them among those she trusted. Daisy was one of the strongest factions out of the others so they probably needed it the least, but it was useless not to use them and hoard them at the moment.

Just as Quinn was ready to move out, he could feel something. The bond he had with his people on the Cursed ship. He could tell that they were in the middle of a battle and it felt that it wasn't an easy one.

'They're all so far away that I can't pinpoint who's who. It could be Alex and the others, the Dalki have invaded there as well, or maybe those on the Cursed ship?'

Thinking about this, Quinn was hesitating whether he should check in with the others, but that's when the Quest line updated.

'What the…'
