Chapter 46: Ch44. RE: [World Quest] (2) - How strong you are
Sarissa took a deep breath, trying to suppress the storm of thoughts raging inside her. The weight of the system’s quest still lingered at the back of her mind, like an itch that she was not able to scratch. But now, with Miles standing before her, revealing that he had reached Level 50 and unlocked something as mysterious as the [World Quest] as if he was telling her what he had for breakfast, she felt like she was being suffocated.
"This [Inner World]... what is it?" She crossed her arms, fixing Miles with a scrutinizing gaze.
"I don’t know. The notification wasn’t specific. It just mentioned that the first piece of the [World Quest] could be found there. No instructions, no coordinates, nothing." Miles exhaled, rubbing the back of his head.
Sarissa’s fingers twitched.
"So, let me get this straight. You’re telling me that reaching Level 50 suddenly unlocks a quest that can change everything we know about The Glitch until now, but it gives no real guidance on what to do next?"
"Pretty much." Miles nodded.
Sarissa sighed, looking up at the sky. The weight pressing down on her chest felt heavier than ever. Everything seemed like it was going to only get harder before getting better, but all about it felt incomplete. Mysterious.
Dangerous.
"I need some time to process this," she muttered, turning away. "It’s too much to take in all at once."
"What do you mean?" Miles frowned.
"I’m saying, I need to go level up. Alone." She looked back at him, her expression unreadable.
