As Roan entered the gaming pod and log in a familiar game screen of
'Liberty Online' Came into view, then with a white flash he was back in the dark dungeon master room.
Just as he entered the game, there was a barring red pop-up.
[QUEST: Protect Blackcoal village from destruction. (FAILED!!!!!)
QUEST RANK: A
Village destruction: 24%
Failure penalty: -100 reputation in Blackcoal village, large-scale migration of villagers.
]
'Oh failure of the impossible quest'
Liberty Online was unlike old games where every quest was possible to complete. There was a pre-set mindset in gamers that there was always a possible way to complete a quest. If a quest failed, then it gamer's fault for not being able to find proper hints for quests. It was not because the quest was impossible from the start.
Liberty Online just completely crushed this mindset and throw it in the trash. Like, take this village protecting quest, for example. In this task, after some time, all surviving wolves would start ignoring players and rush toward the village for destruction.
Now, to stop them, a barrier was needed. Can players build a barrier around the entire village in 1 hr? Close to impossible. Even if possible, who would have so many resources to spend at lvl 10?
There was also another way where mages perform movement restriction spells on the wolves. In theory, it was possible, but practical mages would need a river of mana potion to stop every wolf from moving.
This was still a low-level, impossible task. Grave remembered that in his last life, once a top guild took a quest to wipe out all the Orc tribes near a city. At glace, that task looked very easy. Players were around 400 lvl at that time and orcs near the village were between 350-400.
But as that guild started killing orcs tribes, something unexcepted happen. This enrages the lvl 700 Orc lord. Then what, Orc lord launched a war against the city and capture it.
Orc lords also issued quests to payers to hunt down the guild members which took the quest to kill orcs.
That was not the only time there were times when NPC issued multiple quests and the reward of the quest was plain soil.
'Fck not even a copper but soil.'
There was no restriction on monsters on Liberty Online. Everyone was free to do what they can within certain limits.
Liberty Online was not like a tower game where you climb higher floors to kill demon king no no no In Liberty Demon king would come down to the first floor to fck up all the players. (in the actual sense, no age restriction here)
So taking a quest was also a gamble in liberty Online. In the last life, some top players share that the best way to power up in the smallest time was by not taking any quests and just doing simple hunting.
Well, even at present, most of the top players know about this quest scam, but did they stop taking quests?
A gambler knew that he would lose money in gambling, but cassinos still had so much daily crowd. A smoker knows that smoking can kill him still so many cigarettes were sold every day.
Same, gamers know that quests were fck up scams in Liberty Online, but still, they would kill each other to get some more quests.
' haaaa, life is a thrill only when you have something to lose.'
Loss of reputation and meagre amount of quest has nothing to do with Grave. Gave did not care about his drop in reputation. He has other plans.
Not thinking much, Grave placed the new stats that he got after leveling. This time he also put some stats in Int. He has skills that need mana. Finishing that, Grave shouted "Status"

Grave nodded his head. Now some serious time for serious stuff.
Grave shouted, "Yunyun."
His voice echoed in all 2 floors of the dungeon. Just as Grave finishes shouting, a little girl jump at him.
"Master master, you are back."
Grave nodded his head.
"Hmmm"
Yunyun looked at him and ask him.
"Master, what master call Yunyun for?"
Grave looked at Yunyun and speak.
"Playing time is over."
Yunyun puffs her cheek and spoke.
"Stupid master Yunyun is not playing. Yunyun is training many little snakeys."
'Sigh' Grave speak.
"I want to upgrade the dungeon. "
"Waaaaa so fast. Master, you know that once master upgrades the dungeon, the dungeon will lose half of the protection day."
"Ya ya, I know all this. I do not plan to waste time just for a few more days of protection. Now it's time to enter the hardcore form of the dungeon, master."
Yunyun just nodded her head up and down.
Grave shouted, "Dungeon status!"
