[ The player has been transported to the world Elijeon, kingdom of Riplas, the missions are the following: ]
- Kill 100 enemies that are above level 40
- Kill 5 people that are level 50
- Kill 1 person of the first evolution
Ding!
[ The player has activated a hidden quest thanks to his sensitivity. ]
[ The player has managed to sense that something is wrong with one person that belongs to the kingdom, please do investigate what exactly was wrong and what is happening in the shadows of the kingdom currently. ]
Reign had both of his eyes wide open upon seeing the missions, the hidden quest wasn't very difficult to do as he already had a good understanding of what was happening in the kingdom behind the scenes, for some reason it was one of the specialties of the hidden ability he had, he was able to easily sense certain things.
Killing 100 enemies above level 40 was also not a problem for Reign, neither was the second mission where he needed to kill 5 people that were the same level as him, there was a war currently being fought and soon he would need to join the frontlines, there he would have more than enough chances to kill powerful people.
The problem however was the third mission, to kill someone that had gone through the first evolution was harder than both of the previous missions combined together with the hidden quest, just based on the power of the king and Lios he was certain that even if they fought the giant ape they would perhaps be able to get a draw. Reign and the others needed to go all out and use everything they had at the time in order to defeat the ape, their wounds were serious after the fight and he knew exactly how powerful the monster truly was, even right now he wasn't confident that he could take it down by himself.
Of course similarly to how each player was different and that there were some that are much more powerful compared to others of the same level, there also existed weaker people that were in the first evolution, for example, the king was the most powerful first evolution combatant in this war, the other kingdoms actually needed to put 2 fighters of the same level to fight against him.
If Reign could perhaps find a way to attack them during that time he might be lucky enough to kill one, of course, that would be seen later on. For now, Reign had to focus on doing the first 2 missions, although they were many times easier compared to the third one, it still wouldn't be that easy to kill 5 people that were the same level as him, especially if they were as powerful as Lico was.
Before Reign closed his eyes to sleep however the system spoke to him once again.
[ The hidden quest can be accomplished at any time, be warned however that you will not be able to return to your own world without finishing it. ]
"Fuck." Reign simply cursed before going to bed, even though he already had an inkling of what was happening he wasn't going to do anything right now, he didn't know exactly how dangerous this quest might be and since he could finish it at any time he would first focus on finishing the three missions and going through the first evolution before doing it.
There was no need for him to simply charge right in and do it now since he wouldn't be able to return back to Earth without going through the first evolution anyway. The banquet he had been to tonight was one that allowed him to understand the situation in the kingdom a bit more.
Fighting with Lico was something he didn't expect, but it was still a pleasant surprise, the only people who were able to fight against Reign back on Earth were Wolf and the others, of course, they would never truly go all out against each other and they all knew each other well, it was incredibly hard to surprise one another during a fight as they knew exactly how the other one fought.
Sparring against someone like Lico was actually incredibly exciting and fun for Reign, not only did he not have any knowledge about Lico beforehand, but the man was incredibly powerful and forced Reign to dig deep and bring everything out. The sparring session truly opened Reign's eyes as he never thought that he would meet such a person so quickly in another world, Lico's handling of the sword and his technique were something that Reign wanted to see more of.
The following two days passed in a mild manner, Reign was taken to many places in the capital, most of the time he would be taken by a guide but a couple of times it would be the prince and princess that would take him to some places. One had to admit that even though the kingdom was technologically still in the medieval period, the existence of mana helped them tremendously as it allowed the people to have access to clean water and even light easily.
Many stores were selling things that ran on mana, lamps, heaters, even ovens, and similar stuff. Of course, the traditional ones still existed as not everyone had enough money to buy the newer ones and use mana crystals for them, but they were the minority as over 80% of the population was quite well off. The kingdom also had a special training facility for their elite troops a couple of miles from the capital.
Hidden in a valley, the training facility was built by the brightest in the kingdom, all kinds of faculties were present in the training facility and one could find almost anything there. Simulations similar to the ones that were present in the monster fighting facility that Reign built in his territory were present, only that these not only allowed people to fight a monster, but also other people.
Group training was also done and Reign was surprised to see just how much all of the soldiers were in sync, it was like a scene in a movie as over 100 elite soldiers of the king all did the same movement at the same time. Reign had arrived there with the siblings and they quickly led him closer to the troops that were training, the instructor was surprised after seeing the two but quickly gathered himself and saluted them.
The soldiers were the personal squad of the king and each one of them was very talented and had great strength. Upon seeing Reign together with the siblings all of them were, of course, curious as to who he was, they had been training for the last couple of days and still hadn't heard about the new addition to their kingdom.
Ian was very enthusiastic about the training facility and quickly started talking about it to Reign, the soldiers were once again surprised about that as they knew that no matter who this person was he had to be someone of great importance as the prince and princess wouldn't talk to him as equals if not.
The instructor and soldiers weren't dumb, not only did they know that Reign was someone important, but they could feel that the man in front of them was powerful, they had trained for years and went through many battles during that time so they were very perceptive when it came to such things.
Reign later sparred a bit with some of the soldiers after Ian asked him to, one of the reasons for doing so was to show his strength to the soldiers as they might fight on the same battlefield in the future, the other reason was that he wanted to see just how strong the elite troops really were. The other kingdoms also had their own elite troops and they would definitely not be much weaker compared to them.
The result was of course a complete victory for Reign, even when he was attacked by 5 soldiers at the same time he was still able to easily fight them off, of course, that wasn't to say that the soldier was weak, each one was over level 40 and they were relatively powerful for their level, it was simply that Reign was just too much of a freak when put against them.
It was only after those two days that Reign was summoned by the king once again, the commander was fighting in the south of the kingdom and they had now received news of another army attacking the west fortification, the army sent toward the west fortification wasn't a huge one and there was nobody there that had gone through the first evolution since that was the case the king decided to let Reign fight this time, he was still new and needed some time to adapt, a medium-scale fight like this one would definitely be good for him.
Of course, even though Reign was to be the most powerful combatant there, he wasn't the leader of the army, he would still need to listen to orders and join the military meeting in the fortifications like the others.
