Chapter 506: Side Quest Collection 1
I needed memories of my past.
Even if the Goddess was an airhead, she wouldn't make me live in ignorance forever, so I'd probably need to get memory fragments through her quests. In that case, I could forgive our scatterbrained Goddess.
It all seemed to be Han Se-ah's fault.
Roland's past memories were tied to the Empire. Katie's growth quest was randomly tied to the Empire too, and right after breaking through floor 50, the Empire opened up with talk of "Season 2" and such. So what if the Goddess's idea of "normal progression" was gathering power in the Empire before hunting the Four Heavenly Kings on floor 60?
Instead, they'd ignored the Empire and headbutted the tower like dinosaurs until the gate got blocked. If we assumed "Roland's memories" and "Roland's connections" were among the quest rewards Han Se-ah skipped, the current situation made perfect sense.
'Please let that be it...'
As a streamer, Han Se-ah being thick-headed was more hopeful than having a blockhead Goddess who held my soul in mortgage. I could correct Han Se-ah's stupidity, but how could I fix a stupid Goddess?
Oblivious to my complicated thoughts about Jacob's story, the others were busy playing with his daughter. Was the transcendent being stupid, or was the player whose game my life depended on stupid? What kind of rock-and-hard-place choice was this?
Lost in somewhat blasphemous thoughts, I trudged away from the Adventurer's Guild. Having requested information from both Mercenary and Adventurer Guilds, all that remained was truly waiting.
