Chapter 15: I Don’t Want to Lose.
Ethan’s arms started trembling by the time he reached the mark of 100 push-ups.
"Ninety-eight...Ninety-nine...Hundred..." Ethan said while gasping like a crazy being.
He collapsed on the dirt floor, like a man who was drowning in the thin air. Sweat started to trail down through his cheek, and the ground felt like it was vibrating under his chest.
From the platform above, Sir Vandelion’s voice came, full of authority like that of a lion. "Is that it huh, boy? You you think knights are forged through pity? If you can’t handle just these mere push-ups then you should just go back to crying in slums with the beggars."
The other knights laughed at him between themselves, making fun of Ethan.
"fuck... I can’t fail this. Not here at least, I’ll do hard because I don’t want to live that life again."
A red notification blinked in front of his eyes:
[Warning: Quest Failure Consequence – Main Quest Progression Halted]
