Chapter 41 - 41: Chain-Mission

Ryder opened the notification of the system and finally accepted Shu's request since he had promised him last time.

Though he was sure that Shu wouldn't be online since he was logged out for 24 hours for dying.

"The Quest of Salem... Just what does that skeleton want me to do? All he said was that I need to fulfill his wish? "

" Now that I think about it, he does sound somewhat like Janus. Janus is always making me fulfill his wishes as well. Both the men are the enemy of mine." Ryder let out in an annoyed tone.

As he was walking, he wasn't sure if Janus heard his words or not, but it was exactly at that time, Janus gave him another mission.

[The second part of the Chain-Mission has been selected for the host.

Mission: Make Maria's husband give all his property to you.

Restrictions: You can't use any force. He should give you all his property willingly.

Reward 1): The System shall be upgraded to level 2 if the mission is completed in time.

Reward 2): XP and leveling system will be given to the host in real life if the mission is completed in half time.

Punishment for failure: Host's house shall crumble down to dust because of a weak earthquake. The earthquake will be so weak, that most of your neighbors will laugh at your situation.

Time limit: 2 weeks]

Janus gave the mission.

Ryder, who was talking a lot, suddenly turned silent as he heard the mission.

"What the heck is wrong with this mission!" He cursed out loud.

"Maria is the girl that I met at the Divinity Sale. She brought her boyfriend to beat me up. That woman had a husband? That's not important. What's important is, how the fuck can I make her husband give me all his property? That too... willingly?" Ryder wanted to cry, but no tears came out.

" Also, what the fuck is with the punishment? Are you kidding me? " He didn't even know what to say about the punishment.

"There's no joke involved," Janus replied to Ryder's question.

"Hey, Janus. Can I ask you a question?" Ryder said to Janus.

" Yes. " Janus replied.

" Be honest alright? Were we enemies in our previous life? Or Did I kill you in my last life? " Ryder asked in full seriousness.

" No. " Janus replied.

"Then... Did I screw your mother or sister in my last life? There must be a reason for you to screw my life?" Ryder said sarcastically.

[Correction: The system made a mistake when giving the last mission. The Time Limit was 10 days, not two weeks. The host has been notified.]

Janus responded.

"Hey! You can't do it! I was just asking a question!" Ryder was stunned as he saw the action of Janus.

[Host's stupid question has nothing to do with it. The mistake by the system was genuine.] 

Janus replied to Ryder, but Ryder couldn't feel that Janus was upset. His tone wasn't neutral at all.

Ryder tried asking for forgiveness again and again, but Janus didn't budge even a little.

Ryder was starting to regret opening his mouth at this time.

He logged out of the game.

Ryder woke up in the outside world.

It was around 8 am in the real world when Ryder woke up.

He left his room and walked towards the kitchen.

Like always, the breakfast was ready and Alice had left for university.

He ate breakfast while he roamed the net on his phone for news related to Divinity.

There were already so many articles about the game and it had only been two days.

The thing that actually made him smile was people talking about Hades on the net.

There were quite a few articles on the net about the first person to pass the novice Village.

He read one of the forums since he was starting to enjoy reading about him.

He stumbled on a conversation between a few gamers.

"Hades became a level 5 player in less than 2 days. So incredible. I wonder who Hades is..." BattleHungry209 wrote.

"What's so special about it? I would have achieved that as well if I hadn't met an idiot. Because of him, I was locked out of the game for a day." ChunniMaster121 wrote.

" How can you say that? And what idiot are you talking about?" Another just named BigduckEnergy27 joined in on the conversation and asked.

" An idiot with a small dick. Apparently, his wife left him for a taxi driver and he entered the beast valley to suicide. But he was so scared that he ran back." ChunniMaster121 wrote.

" How is that related to your death, man? Don't tell me you were that taxi driver and he killed you in rage?" BigduckEnergy27 replied with a laughing emoji.

"That idiot didn't come out of the valley alone! There were 5 level 2 profound bears chasing him. He used us as bait of the profound bears and escaped himself. I fought valiantly and killed 4 profound bears, but the 5th one got me." ChunniMaster121 said.

" Ow man, I feel bad for you. If it makes you feel any better, you can think about the fact that his wife is with a taxi driver while he's probably jerking off at home alone." BigduckEnergy27 replied.

Ryder's face was twitching the more he read the conversation. 

He realized that ChunniMaster121 was most probably one of the guys that were killed because of him, but still, he couldn't help but feel angry.

He wanted to write a befitting reply but he controlled himself and closed the webpage.
