MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

As this thought lingered in his mind, Valyr stood in place for a bit as he contemplated once more about how much sunlight there was left before the sky turned dark, thinking of the possibility that Wells might be on the lookout for him since the man had no clue where he had gone after the meeting at the Imperial Production Guild.

In the end, he decided to act upon the thought he had come up with, utilizing the entirety of his agility to speed up the process of finding out where the Zeihardt clan estate was located within the city.

‘It won’t take too much time,’ Valyr thought to himself as he started to move about, recalling the objective of the World Quest he had received.

From what he could recall, the objective of the World Quest was to head to where the Zeihardt Royal Clan was located, which, thanks to Aster, he now knew that they were located within Algerie Kingdom. With such an objective like that, it only made sense for him to do it now rather than later with how simple the objective was.

After all, the objective only told him to head to where it was. There was no such mention of having to head inside, having to find someone there, or anything else.

Aside from that, he did not want to find out what would happen if he did not complete the World Quest within the three months that he had been given to head to the kingdom. From the description of the quest alone, it did not take long for him to realize that not completing it would result in dire consequences.

‘Speaking of the quest description, didn’t I get a notification during the meeting with the Ancestral Council earlier that I gained more information regarding the World Quest?’ In the midst of him roaming the streets of Algerie City, Valyr went ahead and commanded the system to bring up the quest’s description within his mind, omitting the part that he had already read in the past.

[The Future of Humanity (1)] (World Quest) (Linked Quest) (Time-limited Quest)

Difficulty: S

The Zeihardt Royal Clan… description has been omitted.

As the one that is considered by the clan as the Herald of Fate, you are the key that would bring forth a massive change to the current era. However, with the internal strife going on within the Zeihardt clan, it is still unknown whether your existence would bring forth a golden age to humanity, or its darkest age yet.

With that, you must find out more about your identity, your existence, and your origin. Amidst the tensions building between the three races that live on the world of Veldanyr, head to the origin of your blood and resolve the problem at its roots. If left unchecked, the existence of the human race would head down a path of no return.

At the very moment he was finished reading through the added description on his World Quest, a deep frown appeared on Valyr’s face as he inwardly let out a long sigh. ‘It seems my identity is far more important than I thought.’

‘All the more reason for me to complete the first objective and find out what I have to do next then,’ Valyr thought to himself not long after as his body continued to move. Though, sometime later, as he pondered over the thoughts that had formed after reading the updated quest description, a question eventually formed in his mind.

“If my identity is incredibly important to the future of humanity according to the World Quest… then why haven’t I heard of my name back when I was a player?” Muttering these words to himself, the frown on his face deepened even further as his brows furrowed.

With the question in mind, he rummaged through the memories from his past life of Valyr Zeihardt and the Zeihardt clan, only to find out once more that none of them contained any information regarding the two whatsoever, just like when he tried to search for information regarding the Zeihardt clan during his first few days in this world.

Back then, he found it slightly peculiar, but did not think too much about it. However, now that he knew more about his body’s identity, as well as the clan, he wondered whether his existence, as well as the Zeihardt clan’s existence had something to do with the storyline of Greater Beyond’s first version.

“Haah…” Though he could infer and deduce multiple things from what he knew at the moment, he knew that heading down the speculation rabbit hole would only lead him to a dead end he could not get out of, reminding him once more that he should head to the city’s library whenever he was free to do so as he let out a long yet soft sigh.

Faintly shaking his head, he placed the thought at the back of his head for the meantime, just like many of the other questions that plagued him, and focused most of his attention on finding the Zeihardt clan estate for now, eventually doing so by the time the sun was already near the horizon.

…

“How extravagant…” Valyr muttered to himself as he gazed at the estate that appeared before him.

Rather than being greeted by the sight of a decently sized manor that could be said to house an entire clan, what appeared in front of him instead was a building that looked more similar to the medieval castles he had seen in his past life, which showed the great amount of power and authority they could wield.

Mostly being made out of smoothly chiseled stone, the spires of the castle at the rearmost portion of the castle was colored a reddish brown, bringing a bit of color to the somewhat boring exterior of the castle. Nevertheless, the castle is covered to the brim with multiple trees and greenery, with all of the shrubs found at the entrance of the castle seemingly trimmed to perfection.

Yet its extravagance did not end there.

On both sides of the castle were large manors that spanned at least four stories tall, prompting Valyr to wonder as to how much people were currently living within the Zeihardt clan estate. However, just before he could take a closer look and make his way towards the estate’s gates, one of the guards patrolling around the estate stopped him.

“Halt! State your business.” With most of the guards’ attention now focused on him due to the guards’ words, Valyr stood frozen in place for a bit as he wracked his brain to come up with a great excuse as to why he was loitering around. Though, as if the heavens were messing around with him…
