Second World

Chapter 1112 1112. The Missing Main Quest

Jack had heard a few times the natives mention the demonic cult. He at first thought that it was one of the cults of the bad Gods. But after rethinking, he had engaged Fear's cult a few times but no main quest ever popped up.

"To be honest with you. I also wondered about it. The main quest should have been triggered for everyone a short time after they entered this world. But I am too occupied with stopping Master so I don't have the time to bother about this main quest anomaly. It is better this way. Otherwise, it will be more complex if we have to deal with Master and the demonic cult at the same time."

"That's the thing. I never see any sign of them. It was as if they have been erased from this world's existence," Wilted answered.

"… I don't know," Wilted answered. "What I know is what should have been. This demonic cult should have been everywhere. Hidden inside the main cities of every country. Creating havoc to try to undo the sealing of underworld portals in the seven countries."

"Wait! Are you telling me all seven countries have an underworld portal in each of them?"

"Yes. One of the mid goals for players is to completely seal these underworld portals. Failure to do so will cause these seven underworld portals to break open when the main underworld portal is opened by the cult. This will cause the seven countries to become occupied by the demonic hordes pouring out of the portals in their countries. This prevents them from forming a joint effort in dealing with the main underworld force. Hence, increasing the failure chance for players to win the game.

Jack absorbed the information. Now, that did sound like a main quest of a game. Why was it removed from the game?

"Why do you ask this, anyway?" Wilted asked.

"Portal-sealing stone? How the hell do you get that?" Wilted asked. "That stone can only be gotten from the underworld. It is supposed to happen within one of the mid-quests where players were sent to the underworld for a short period."

"The underworld…? How the heck do you travel to the underworld?!"

"Your steed… The nightmare! That steed is supposed to only be attainable when players gained access to the underworld after their victory in driving the underworld force back. That steed allows players to travel between two worlds without the hassle of going back to the main portal. I am honestly very surprised when I first saw you ride that nightmare."

"Well, whatever. Are you done? I already have enough headaches dealing with Master here without having to think about the anomalies surrounding you. Master is proving to be a more efficient ruler compared to the previous rebel prince. You have heard of him becoming the ruler of Liguritudum, haven't you?"

"I need more than luck," Wilted replied and ended the message.

He spent the rest of their traveling time training mana manipulation. He felt his mana manipulation was stronger after doing it in the underworld.

Many of those opened vacancies had been filled up. Players were queueing to join the number one guild in the country. Everlasting Heavenly Legends was never short on applicants.

Seeing the Hero Altar, he wondered if they could recruit another hero and guild guardian now that the guild leveled up.

Peniel answered that level 5 guild allowed the Hero Altar to be leveled up to level 3. Thus, they could recruit another guild hero. But for guild guardians, they could only build the structure that housed another guild guardian after they became a level 6 guild.
