The first quest? Failure is death?

"Thank you for saving me, and giving me a second chance." He expressed his gratitude. "But I don't have anything to repay you. Can you tell me how can I help?"

He finally believed the System's words and wanted to repay its kindness.

[It's easy.]

[You just need to log in to the system. Then, you should activate the system's [Quest] feature and it will give you missions to complete. If you can complete them, you will get rewards. But if you fail, there will be penalties. So, you better complete all of them.]

"Oooh! I understand. But how can I activate it? And what is a quest anyway?"

[I will transmit the necessary information directly to your mind. It will be about how to activate The [Quest] or other features, and other general information about what is system or me.]

[And the answer to your question is: "Quest is a mission given by the System, me. The host needs to complete them and achieve rewards. It has its deadline time. In the allocated time, you should complete the quest or you will fail and face the penalties.]

[There will be 3 types of quests after you unlock the [Quest]. The first one is the Main Quest, the second is the Chain Quest and the third one is a Side Quest. First, two have always penalties but the last one may have a penalty or not. This is general information about the quests.]

[Be prepared. I am sending the information, press 'Yes' on the window which should have appeared by now. And be careful because it may be - ]

Click!

[Would you like to receive the information about the system and install a connection between your mind and the system's information storage?]

[Yes] – [No]

"Let's press 'yes', I am ready!"

He pressed the 'Yes' without waiting for the system to finish its sentence.

[- very painful, because it's your first time.]

"Painful you say? I'm not sensing anything thou – Argh!"

"Arghhh!"

"Arghhh!"

Rong Yuan suddenly collapsed while clutching his head. His head was aching, it was already painful.

It was like a thunderclap headache. It is an extremely painful headache that comes on suddenly, like a clap of thunder. This type of headache reaches its most intense pain within one minute and lasts at least five minutes.

His head was filling with information about the system and its functions.

[You say don't call me stupid, yet you act like this… I don't know what to say anymore …]

"Ha-haaa!"

"Ha-haaa!"

After six or seven minutes of painful moments...

"Finally, the pain is gone...."

"Why was it so painful?"

[I told you it will be painful. You didn't listen to me to the very end. And it was painful because it is the first time you received information directly to your mind from the system.]

[And this also connected your mind to the system's information storage. It will be less painful and takes a little time when the system needs to send the information again.]

"Oh, thanks." Hearing the system's explanation Rong Yuan recalled every piece of information he received from the system. He was astonished that he could receive information like this.

And he knew from the information he got to know he could also receive information from the rewards he won in the "Quest" function. So he wanted to quickly unlock the "Quest" function.

"Can I start it?"

[Yes, you may start it.]

"Ok, system [Log in] me as Rong Yuan!"

[Ding!]

[Logging in to the system...]

[Host logged in as Rong Yuan!]

"Let's first check the [Status]!"

"System open my [Status]!"

[Ding!]

[Host's Status page opened!]

_ _ _ _ _ _ _

"Whoa, there is already a newly opened function named [Titles]!"

"I'll check it out after I've opened the [Quest] function!"

"Unlock the [Quest] function."

[Host unlocked the 'Quest' function!]

[Ding!]

[Quest started generating….]

[Ding!]

[Host received a Main Quest.]

[Main Quest is being directly activated...]

[Would you like to see the Main Quest?]

[Yes] – [No]

Click!

Rong Yuan clicked 'Yes' as he was interested in the quest's content.

[Ding!]

[Main Quest #0]

[Main Quest #0 - Part 1]

[Quest name: I will become the Best Master!]

[Time: 5 minutes]

[ Description:

As you have become the host of the "Best Master System", you should set on becoming the best master too. But it seems after the betrayal of your disciples, you promised to never accept disciples again. So you wanted to refuse The Sect Master Feng Rong's order to become a master. But to become the best master in the world, you need to become a master first.]

[Quest's Condition: Accept Feng Rong's order and become a master. Swear in your heart and to yourself by saying "I'll become the Best Master".]

[Reward: Main Quest #0 - Part 2!]

[Penalty: Death! Warning the host, the penalty is death!]

"What the?"

"Penalty is death?"

"Huh, is this the [Main Quest]?"

"This is clearly a Death Quest!"

"Hey, system what is this? Why the penalty is death?"

Rong Yuan asked furiously.

He was angry yet again.

[Host need not worry about the penalty and should calm down. As I said earlier you just need to complete the quest and you won't receive penalties or even gain rewards! So cheer up!]

Rong Yuan was completely speechless after hearing the system's words.

"Rewards you say?!"

"Look at the reward of the quest!"

"Reward is opening the second part of this Death Quest!"

"I don't need it! Who knows what could it be?"

"Maybe it is another death quest huh?"

"And, you clearly know why I don't want to accept disciples or become a master, yet the quest says that I should become a master, what the hell is this, are you playing with me right now?"

[…..]

[Host, I know all of that… You don't need to remind me...]

[My main mission is to help you to be the best master.]

[And to do that, you need to become a master.]

[As for the death penalty. It's from me. It's because if you don't become a master I will kill you...]

"What?"

"You will kill me?"

Rong Yuan asked in a fearful voice as he was still aware of the system's powers.

{I knew I shouldn't have trusted this easily. System, no this "thing" obviously lied to me. I shouldn't have been fooled by it.}

Rong Yuan's mind was filled with these kinds of thoughts.

[Host!]

[Host!]

[Hooost!] System's loud voice attracted Yuan's attention.

"What? Are you trying to trick me again?"

[Finally, you heard me.]

[Also, you are forgetting I can read your thoughts again. And... I'm not going to trick you. Why are you panicking?]

"Because you said you will kill me!"

[Host, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean literally killing by saying 'I will kill you'.]

"What did you mean?"

[I meant....]
