Kyle muttered the names of missions as he looked through the glowing text on the mission boards, searching for something that matched his criteria.
He wanted a mission that will enable him to be out there, among people, not hidden away in a remote corner of the world on some solitary quest.
Missions that would keep him isolated didn't appeal; Kyle preferred one that required group effort and human interaction, something where he could engage and learn on multiple levels.
"Find the Ancient Rune in the Windspire Ruins… pass.
Document rare flora in the Silent Forest… no thanks.
Retrieve the Aegis Gem from deep within the Abyssal Caverns…definitely not."
The Exploration and Research missions all felt painfully repetitive and mundane. Their purposes boiled down to tracking down an object or gathering information, and the objectives left little room for excitement.
