The Gene Gamer

"Hi, is this Ms. Serloi's?" asked Cylius as he knocked on the door. 

"Knock, knock, knock" 

...

For some time, an answer didn't come. But Cylius was patient so he just waited without knocking on the door again. It was quite a big mansion after all, it would of course take some time to come here. 

After some time, a person finally opened the door from the inside.

It was a maid. A young and pretty maid that was of human blood indicating the owner's status.

Usually, the maids and servants were the half-beast races as they were cheap and were many in number. But humans obviously costed more money to hire; it didn't seem like the maid was a slave either. 

"What's your business?" the maid said in a somehow unfriendly tone. It didn't seem like people usually come here so it might be that she was careful of him. 

"I came here from Ms. Serloi's quest." Cylius replied honestly. 

"Come in then" she opened the door, revealing the inside of the mansion.

The inside was luxurious. Decorated with many luxurious items and built with expensive minerals. It was basically spouting 'rich' all over. 

"Master is this way. In her study room." said the maid before leading him upstairs to the third floor. They just skipped the first and the second floor quickly but through it, he was able to see the owner's wealth.

While the first and the second floors were exuding a rich and luxurious aura as if flaunting one's wealth, the third floor was completely opposite of it. 

It had a general plain setting. Instead of the shiny, bright items, the items and furniture here had a gray color. It seemed boring but inexplicably made one attracted to it. 

Going deeper into the third floor, the maid skipped a few rooms before stopping in front of a particular door. The reason he said particular was because it had a magic formation set up on it. It was a detection and protection skill that notified the owner of the situation outside. 

If not for his Eye of God skill, he wouldn't have been able to detect it at all. 

"Knock knock knock" the maid knocked on the door before saying "Master, the guest has come for the delivery quest". 

"Come in" came the frail voice of an old woman. 

Upon hearing the sound the maid exchanged a glance at him before opening the door. 

Then she bowed before leaving the room.

"Klack" 

"So you're the adventurer?" asked the old woman. 

While answering, Cylius took a quick look towards the place he was in. It was a study room, with many books stacked on shelves neatly. The room wasn't small at all. Not large either, around medium size. 

And at the end of the room was an old woman sitting in front of a chair. It seemed like she was reading a book. It was a rather thick book and she was already around the middle of it. She was exuding a scholarly aura just like the room and the third floor. 

"Quite fast I would say. I put it up just recently." contemporary romance

"Yes madam. I had luckily chanced up on it"

"Very well then. Do you want to accept it?" 

[Accept quest: Delivery? Y/N]

[Century Long Regret: Delivery (Common grade)

Deliver the letter Serloi gave to Edford in Windwhale city. 

Duration: 5 days

Reward: 50 copper coins, 50 exp

Penalty for failure: -1 level.] 

"Yes." 

"Then I'll trust you with this letter" picking up a letter from the side of her, she gave it to Cylius before dismissing him. 

...

He had lucked out. He was luckily able to pick up a chain quest. 

Chain quests were groups of quests that needed to be completed in a sequence. Only by completing the previous quest will one be able to progress towards the next one. 

Sometimes they were normal and sometimes, they were good ones. They generally had a stringent requirement in choosing their owners and only certain special people would be able to get it. Of course, one can't except the possibility of a normal person getting it. 

As he had just picked this quest up from the adventurers guild, he had lucked out. Of course, seeing this was a quest that was put up in the adventurers guild, it was much likely to be a normal chain quest. 

'Now, all of the things I have to do are done. Now I can teleport to the city without any worries' thought Cylius as he left the mansion. 

The town still held many secrets and uses for players but they aren't suitable for the current him who only had lvl. 10 cultivation. He should at least visit it when he has Tier 1 or Tier 2 cultivation later. 

Well, he indeed could stay here for a while and level up a bit until 15 or so but he was sure leveling up in the city would be much better. 

After all, it would at least have magical monsters that would have a better chance at dropping magical items. 

[1 silver coin is needed to teleport to Windwhale city. Confirm?]

After leaving the mansion, he directly went to the Blue Wolf town's teleportation platform. 

"Yes" 

For teleportation, at least 1 silver coin was needed. As it was quite a big number, people first tried to maximize its use as much as possible like accepting quests. 

[Confirmed. Teleporting to Windwhale city...] 

For a moment, he felt his weight suddenly disappear and his vision go black. He was also hearing a buzzing sound but all of it disappeared just as suddenly it had appeared a moment later. 

Temporary loss of senses was a normal thing when teleporting. 

[You have entered the Windwhale city]

As the place was in a considerably high altitude and was filled with larger wind attributed beasts, the city was called the Windwhale city. 

It could be called a medium beginner city that had monsters ranging from lvl. 1 to lvl. 50 where the line for Tier 2 was. 

It was quite a popular one as the majority of skilled players were still in Tier 1. Only a few had become Tier 2 currently.
