A Hidden Quest?

As the figure approached Ethan, concern etched on their face, they inquired, "Are you alright? That looked like quite a fall." With swift reflexes, they tossed a vial of healing potion his way.

Ethan chuckled, leaning back against the wall. "Just a scratch. But hey, the dramatics were appreciated."

"Ah, the infamous Ethan wit," Liam remarked with a grin, glancing over at William. "And who might this be?"

William stepped forward, extending a hand with a friendly smile. "Pleasure to meet you, Liam. I'm William, Ethan's partner in crime... or rather, in adventures."

''Nice to meet you, William'', Stefan smiled warmly towards William, which made his already beautiful face glow. William was stunned, seeing that beautiful smile. The walls around his cold heart seemed to loosen. He instantly took a step forward and took Stefan's hand.

Ethan was shocked, seeing, the cold and unapproachable guy approaching someone actively. He took a step forward and asked playfully, ''Who are you? You cannot be William?'' He asked this because William was famous for his elegant temperament and his coldness towards others.

William grabbed Ethan's shoulders and distanced himself from him.

When he reached out to grab Ethan's shoulder, Stefan saw the sword mark on his arm, it looked similar to the sword he was carrying with him.

'Heli, can you check his level for me?'

'Yes, host. Let me scan him first'.

Stefan could see a blue line scanning William from head to toe. About one minute later, Heli answered in a disheartened voice,' I cannot seem to scan his level with my current level, Host'.

'It's okay, Heli. You don't need to feel sad about it. We can upgrade by completing quests, and by then you can scan anyone you want, okay?'

'Okay! Host', Heli quickly cheered up.

Stefan breathed a sigh of relief, he did not want his Heli, to be sad about this thing. He could do quests and upgrade both Heli and himself.

{ Ding!

Reward: A hidden storage bracelet.

This bracelet has a storage space of five cubic meters. It has the ability to disguise itself according to the owner's wishes. The space present inside will continue to increase as the user grows stronger. }

'Amazing, Host!, you completed a hidden quest on the first day of, arriving in this new world', Heli shouted excitedly.

'Is the hidden quest randomly triggered?' he asked.

'Yes host, they are randomly triggered and are, very rare as, they include important and dangerous tasks. But, the risk is worth the reward, sometimes these rewards can save, life at critical moments', answered Heli.

'Heli, can l use the storage bracelet directly, or do l need some kind of permission to use it?'

'You can use it directly, Host. As per the data present in my database, all the rewards gained by the user after completing the quests can be directly used and do not require any kind of permission'.

'I see, then I will accept this reward'.

Meanwhile, Ethan and William were doing a staring contest with each other. Their attention was attracted when Stefan spoke,'' Um, since the introduction is over, I will make a move then''.

''Thank you for saving me'', he bowed towards Ethan and started walking.

But before he could take a second step, they both shouted towards him in unison, ''NO! YOU CAN'T LEAVE YET''.

'' Why?''

Ethan answered, ''Because we don't know where to find you after you leave''. William pursed his lips, but it could be seen that he agreed with him.

Stefan sighed, 'What is this now? Do they want to follow me?'

'It seems that is the case, Host' answered Heli reluctantly, even though he did not want Stefan to be with them.

''l have just arrived in this town and will be staying here for a while. You can find me near that restaurant'' Stefan explained while pointing towards a location not far from them.

''Okay!'', they both answered in unison.

Stefan walked away after listening to their response.

.....

By this time, the hole has been closed. It seems, while he was cultivating, these people, already defeated the monsters.

After walking for some time, he heard a timid voice calling out to him, ''Brother, can you help me?''

He walked towards the place where the voice was coming from, he saw a wooden board that has fallen on a child who looked to be 7–8 years old. He had a pale complexion, his small face was scrunched up in pain, and his gaze held a faint trace of unease.
