System: Motivation or What?
Shock mixed with multiple other emotions assailed him unexpectedly.
At the appearance of the vicious notifications about the penalty, Rex's pupils wavered.
He was expecting a cut to his limb as a penalty, not a painful death.
It was only a Race Evolution Quest—something that he would definitely complete, no matter what as he needed it—there is no reason for the penalty to be this severe. Losing one of his pack members at random is unacceptable.
As if that was not enough, the System made a specification that it would be the inner pack.
Not from the outer pack members or the pack as a whole, but the inner pack.
He could handle it if Prof. K or Giana were chosen, however, both were excluded from this.
All those who he cared about were in the inner pack members.
For him, this is not a mere penalty, this is a death sentence as he couldn't bear losing more.
Out of anything, he didn't expect the System to give that kind of penalty.
