Chapter 7: First Quest
Looking at the slightly trembling figure of the man as if he had seen a ghost, Caleb could understand how shocked and frightened the person was.
'I would be scared shitless too,' He mused and looked back at the quest window in his HUD.
'It seems they didn't kill the old Caleb for no reason. Someone wanted him dead.'
[Quest: Avenge Caleb]
[Description: Baron Zeke ordered the death of Caleb for taking on a mission that went against his interest and in favour of his rival. Unable to do anything against his rival, he did the only thing he could do, kill the person who took the job.]
[Reward: Avenging Caleb]
[Penalty: Permanently lose one [Adaptive Mutation] done]
[Time limit: 2 weeks]
'Hmm... the penalty can be messy for me.'
He didn't like what he saw. Suppose he lost the ability of his enhanced senses or even lost the strength he gained without the possibility of getting it back. That would mean losing something that made him unique.
'This could become a pattern if I fail to complete any quest.'
