Now, he had to focus his time on quests and on becoming stronger to fight against the dark lord.
But what troubled him most was this new quest. Because the wording of it gave him a reason to believe that the face-off next year wouldn't be the final confrontation between them.
That it was just another battle in their destined war. Otherwise there wouldn't have been any need for the system to issue a new quest when an old quest was already pending regarding Voldemort.
He checked his old quests which he still hadn't been able to finish.
[QUEST:
– Kill Voldemort.
REWARD:
– 10,000 XP
– Perk [?] ]
This quest would be the end of the reign of Voldemort. This would be the last fight. The last confrontation which would stop him for once and all.
This other unfinished quest was also a very important one. Obviously.
[QUEST:
– Find the three Deathly Hallows.
The Invisibility Cloak: In possession
The Elder Wand:
The Resurrection Stone:
REWARD:
– 20,000 XP.
– Perk: [Immortality] ]
If he had a choice then he would like to finish the immortality quest before he had to fight Voldemort. But he had a gut feeling that these two quests were connected and that he had to destroy Voldemort first to advance in the immortality quest.
He slumped back in the chair and closed his eyes. He would win. He had to. There was no other choice.
"Dai Deam, go to Albania discreetly and try to find more information about the Dark Lord. Be on your guard and come back to me as soon as you have any kind of lead. And don't get caught at any cost."
His most powerful undead appeared before him, bowing and then disappearing, to do as ordered. Actually, Dai Deam wasn't his most powerful undead anymore. That position was now occupied by the dead Voldemort of the other world.
While it might be funny to send one Voldemort to spy on the other, it was quite risky with no rewards other than his amusement.
But he wasn't powerful enough to risk things for his entertainment. At least not yet.

Iris was leaning on her elbows, which were placed on the table, in the library.
A single long parchment was lying between the space of her hands. She had her face scrunched in concentration as she memorised the theory of the Repairing charm.
She was forced to do this chore because there was a small Charms test the next day.
Harry sat on her right with his chin laid atop his folded hands over the table. He had already prepared for the test, as always, being a gamer had its benefits and memorising wasn't even a hard task. He looked around him, at his friends who were busy in their preparation.
Daphne sat on his right, calmly looking down in her book. Her forefinger tracing the text as she read it in her mind. Neville sat opposite Iris, barely hiding his scowl while he gazed in the book.
Hermione beside him was frantically going through the page, her lips moving silently as she memorised it. And the last of their group, Tracey, downright glared at the book as her patience dwindled and the pin drop silence irritated her to no end.
"Enough! Let's go outside and play in the snow." She whispered angrily, shutting off her book.
Iris, happy that someone understood her pain, whispered back. "Yes! Brilliant idea. I can't stay quiet and study one more minute."
"It's been only 10 minutes since we started, sister. Don't act like we have been here for hours." Harry drawled lazily, sitting up properly and stretching his arms above his head.
"Really?" Both Tracey and Iris gasped in surprise, not able to believe that it had been just 10 minutes. It felt like eternity.
"Still, I think we need a break, Harry. The girls are right. We should go out and play." Neville received beaming smiles from the two girls for his support.
Hermione glared at her weak willed friends. "No! We are not moving until we are done here."
"Come on, Hermione. Don't be like that. I am sure you are already done and are just revising for the tenth time." Tracey grumbled.
"Fifth time, not tenth." Hermione corrected condescendingly. "But it's not about me, it's about you. Have you finished preparing for the test?"
"Why not vote? Those who want to go outside and play, raise your hand." Iris interrupted before those two started bickering. She instantly raised her own hand followed by Tracey and Neville.
"I am in since I am done with my work anyway." Harry agreed, raising his hand. He nudged Daphne with his elbow who was still studying, apparently unaware of the whispered conversation going on around her.
"Do you want to go play or stay and continue reading?" He asked.
Before she could answer, Tracey half climbed the table from across and took her hands in hers and gave her her best puppy look.
"Let's go play, Daphne. Please."
Daphne shrugged with a fond smile. "Fine. If that's what you want."
Hermione just shook her head seeing how she was outvoted.
"If everyone wants to go out then I am coming too. I have done my test preparations already."

The grounds outside were layered with soft white snow. They left shallow foot imprints as the group walked towards the frozen lake. The air was chilly and the sky was overtaken by giant formless grey clouds. They all were in their winter garbs to shield themselves from the chilly winds.
As soon as the frozen lake came in view, Tracey and Iris ran excitedly towards it, racing against each other with boisterous laughter. The others too abandoned their strolling and jogged behind them. They stopped at the sight of Tracey and Iris reluctantly backing away from the edge of the lake.
"The ice here isn't thick enough to bear our weight. I guess ice-skating is not an option." Iris complained, incensed.
