Chapter 103 - : Unidentified Man (1/2)
“Finally it’s D-Day.”
Soo Hyuk opened his status window and smiled while looking at his quest.
〈Preparation Period〉
Romian never thought you’d bring the key so quickly. He assumed it would take at least a week. But Romian needed a week’s time. This is because he needed to restore his physical condition to normal. So, visit Romian in a week!
[Kelta’s Secret Key to the Cave: 1 / 1]
[Time Remaining: 0 Days]
[Quest Rewards: Cave Exploration]
The time had finally arrived for him to complete the quest 〈Preparation Period〉requested by Romain.
‘How long would it take?’
As he looked at the quest, Soo Hyuk wondered how long a quest that took an entire week to prepare for, would take.
‘Huh, there’s this quest as well?’
Soo Hyuk was looking at his window at another related quest.
〈Special Quest – Kelta’s Legacy〉
The Great Thief Kelta, who had no blood relatives, hid her lifelong treasures at a secret location. Find the treasures!
[Quest Rewards: ???]
The window said it was a special quest named ‘Kelta’s Legacy’.
‘It would be nice if the cave was that secret place.’
The cave he was about to explore was a secret cave that belonged to the great thief Kelta. So, he wondered if the ‘secret place’ mentioned in 〈Kelta’s Legacy〉was the same cave he was about to explore. If so, then he would be able to complete two quests at the same time.
Still absorbed in his thoughts, Soo Hyuk left the library and closed his quest window, then opened his inventory taking out a map. With the map’s direction, he headed for the outskirts of Hadrac, where Romian’s secret residence was located.
‘Seems to be really complicated.’
Following the map, he continued walking. Same as the week prior, Soo Hyuk felt that this outskirt is really complicated. He finally realised that without the map he would have gotten lost and taken several more hours.
Jing!
Soon, he arrived at the secret residence; Soo Hyuk closed the map, putting it in his inventory. Then, he knocked on the door that stood in front of him, patiently waiting for Romian to answer.
“…?”
After waiting for a minute, he got no response from inside. So, Soo Hyuk in reply to the silence knocked on the door again.
However, this time too, he got no response, so he looked at the door thinking.
‘Looks like there is no one in there?’
‘Is Romian not in the house?’
‘But he knows I would be coming today.’
It was strange that Romian would have left despite knowing that Soo Hyuk was coming.
‘Did something happen?’
Though a week might seem to be quite a short period of time, it could be quite long for some. There might be a possibility that something happened these past few days.
To confirm his suspicions, Soo Hyuk reached out for the doorknob. Grabbing the cool metal for a while, he used a bit of his strength and opened the door.
The door opened, answering his doubts.
As soon as the door opened, Soo Hyuk stepped inside.
At that exact moment.
[Quest ‘Preparation Period’ has been changed to ‘Mysterious Bloodstains and the disappearance of Romian’]
A message appeared as he shifted his weight onto his foot.
Looking at the notification in front, Soo Hyuk couldn’t help but frown.
‘Damn, the quest really changed, I was worried it would.’
“Haa…”
Soo Hyuk let out a deep sigh, then closing the door, he proceeded to open the quest window.
〈Mysterious Bloodstains and the disappearance of Romian〉
On the day of the meeting, Romian disappeared. But someone’s blood remained in the living room. Was it Romian’s blood or Haccid’s blood or someone entirely different? Search the house for clues!
[Clue A : 0 / 1]
[Clue B : 0 / 1]
[Clue C : 0 / 1]
[Quest Reward: Quest – Another secret place of Roiman]
Soo Hyuk was deep in his thoughts.
‘Did he get caught?’
Was he attacked then got kidnapped?
‘Or perhaps a fight?’
Did a fight break out between Romian and Haccid?
Soo Hyuk was thinking while he looked at his surroundings, looking for clues.
‘A clue, anything…’
There must have been some traces left behind. If he could find them, then they might be able help him to what had actually happened.
‘Is that a bloodstain?’
A bloodstain entered Soo Hyuk’s sight. He looked at the quest details and wondered.
“Do I need to find three…”
Suddenly the quest window had closed.
‘‘…?”
Looking at the quest, Soo Hyuk was startled.
‘Why did it close?’
He remembered, he hadn’t closed the window, so why had it closed?
‘Wait, is the quest changing?’
Just as the idea crossed his mind, Soo Hyuk reopened his quest window to check. He had the basic knowledge that whenever a quest closed by itself, that meant it was updating.
[Quest ‘Mysterious Bloodstains and the disappearance of Romian’ has changed to Quest ‘Unidentified Men’.]
As he saw the update, he knew his suspicions were right; the quest had been changed. So he read the newly updated quest.
〈Unidentified Men〉
As soon as you entered, you could sense the presence of a few unknown men that had previously entered the house. Clearly, they were behind the disappearance of Romian and Haccid. Find the clues and get rid of those unidentified men!
[Clue A : 0 / 1]
[Clue B : 0 / 1]
[ClueC : 0 / 1]
[Quest Rewards: Quest – Another Secret place of Roman]
[Quest – Kidnapped Haccid.]
Once he found the clues, then he would have to find and get rid of those unidentified men as the quest included. Otherwise, the quest wouldn’t be completed.
Considering the quest, Soo Hyuk was able to find four new pieces of information.
First, Romian and Haccid didn’t fight.
