119 Experimenting With Crystals

*Ding!*

Mako had received another notification while he was still processing the previous one, and he was feeling quite frustrated about the unjust punishment that the system had imposed on him for missing just one daily quest.

When Mako used the 'Ask' feature to inquire why the system had not canceled the quest as it had done before, the system's response was blunt. It stated that Mako had sufficient time to complete all the tasks from the moment he had escaped from the original cave with the girls until he had started traveling upstream with the group.

At this juncture, Mako felt completely defeated and knew that it was futile to argue with the system any further, so he reluctantly accepted the penalty. However, he chose to view his blocked lightning aura punishment as an opportunity to grow and develop, rather than a setback. He saw it as a challenge to improve himself and not rely solely on his abilities to tackle everything.
