"Alright then, my reward is: merging my IRL status with my in-game status~!" he declared.
[Quest
Complete a dungeon, (0/1)
Reward: Merging of IRL and Ingame Status, and ---
Consequence of the declared reward: Arcanum Ages of Valor is no longer a VR game for you. It's reality. When you log in, you will be transported to the Arcanum Ages of Valor, and when logging out, you will be transported back, and any injuries suffered will be transported back as well.
Penalty: loss of all levels
Time: 1 day]
"A little explanation will help," Ken remarked as he read the quest. "I get the Consequence, I will be similar to a blessed one and all, but what is the 'and ---'?" He specified as he pointed it out as well.
[The reward wasn't enough... you need to add something more there... Advise: Remove 'Merging of IRL and Ingame Status' and add something like Op skills or even a custom skill, maybe something like a familiar... there are so many options.]
"I don't think so," Ken muttered suspiciously, not getting why the system was trying to pull here. "Add a 'common skill of your choice,' and if it's not enough, then add the system points that need to fill the reward space," Ken commanded, making the quest change again.
[Quest
Complete a dungeon, (0/1)
Reward: Merging of IRL and Ingame Status, common skill of your choice, and 98,240 system points

[DAMN IT!!!!]
The system shouted, making Ken flinch from the sudden shout. "..." Ken stared into nothing blankly as his mind raced to figure out what the hell was going on.
After a while, Ken gave up and decided to ask directly, "Mind explaining...?"
[Sigh... you will know this later anyway, so no point in keeping it to myself.]
The system muttered dispiritedly, making Ken really confused now.
[For a quest to be assigned, the rewards and penalty must be equal. I expected you to choose a grand reward, like a legendary weapon or top skill, or even something related to life and death that would exceed the limit.
If your choice exceeded the limit, I would have adjusted the time, making the quest fair. Initially, I could have set up the time to 2 hours, but to tempt you, I made it 1 day, so if you exceeded the limit, I could ignore the 22 hours of the 1 day and reduce it to make the quest fair.]
The system explained her whole plan and basically even took Ken through her limitations, unhesitatingly making Ken seriously dumbfounded. "Ok, but why are you telling me this...?" He doubted, making the already grumpy system more grumpy.
[BECAUSE THAT BASTARD CALLED THRAXIS EXISTS!!!]
The system roared, making Ken get the gist of the situation at hand. "Hmm, I didn't know you and Thraxis were in conflict," Ken muttered, and then completely ignored the system and logged into 'Arcanum Ages of Valor,' which would soon be his reality.
Ken logged in and headed straight to Siria's store. When he got inside, he met eyes with the person he had a meeting with and another person that he recognized.
"You finally arrived~!" Siria greeted, making the other person in the room glance at her with surprise.
"I only came at the time when it would be busy, not that you have many customers." Ken greeted back, adding a jab for no reason. He turned to the person beside Siria, "And I didn't think I would meet you here out of all the places, Emma." Ken smiled as he looked at the familiar girl in front.
"Same, and a surprise we share a common friend!" Emma greeted back, making Siria ticked off.
Siria stood up and pointed at Emma, "Who are you calling 'COMMON'? And for your information, Ken is my-"
"Friend... just friend..." Ken cut her off, knowing very well this could lead to unnecessary drama, but maybe it was too late as he saw the foxy expression of Emma. "Sigh... what a pain, Siria is only playing around..." Ken was about to explain but stopped right there.
"I understand~! You don't have to worry! I won't tell anyone~!" Emma cheekily said, making Ken ignore her and focus on Siria, who was serious and down to business now.
Siria currently wore black mage clothes that showed a little of her side boobs and shoulders, with her belly exposed. And with her one-of-a-kind appearance, everything about her made her an exotic beauty that could be said to be unrivaled.

"Are you sure about the things you wanted? You know 7k+ gold isn't a small amount for new players," Siria seriously questioned, making the eyes of Emma on the side widen in shock.
Ken shrugged, "Why not? When I am back, you will know the reason why I want something like that. And since you will be the one buying it, I doubt those at the top will even try and bother me. After all, it will be in your name."
Ken's statement made Siria smile brightly. "That's pretty smart, but you are well aware that this might cause you to be a political target or even worse," she questioned but already knew the answer.
"Come now, you know very well, by the time they take action I will be above their pay grade~" He grinned, making Siria giggle. "Also, if that is all, then I will be off. I will return in about 3 to 4 hours to complete the deal," he added and made his way out, heading straight to the dungeon.
But before that, he went to the Adventurers Association and got his quest reward in exchange for the Red Fire Lily, and got himself a better sword than before and even better leather armor that was lighter than the previous one.
Meanwhile, inside Siria's shop.
Emma seriously looked at Siria, "I have known you for 6 years, but you didn't tell me that you had a boyfriend who is also Aisa's brother," she questioned with narrowed eyes, making Siria smile helplessly.
"Sigh... Ken isn't my boyfriend. He is someone that knows things that I don't, and I rather have him close than have him as an enemy," Siria sincerely revealed, making Emma widen her eyes.
"Huh? Isn't that a little too manipulative and dishonest to him? He is a great guy, and you only get close to him for some random information?" Emma doubtfully questioned, making Siria just give her a weird look.
"Simple, I am interested in him. Plus, in the future, he could possibly be the strongest player and even help me achieve a few things I have been trying," Siria said as if they were facts, making Emma a little taken aback.
