In the end, he settled on a well-crafted longsword, its blade glowing with a hint of magical energy. "This will do nicely," he murmured, the hilt fitting snugly in his grasp as he tested its weight. "What do you think, Cyprus?"
The system hummed with approval. "A fine choice, Liege.As Cheol Su held the sword aloft, the system displayed a tantalizing number: "1000 XP needed for class unlock."
But just as he was about to claim the weapon, a warning flashed on the screen in bold, red text. "Insufficient Points.
The system waited patiently, its virtual eyes trained on Cheol Su as he digested the information. It was clear that his journey had only just begun, and that the path ahead would not be easy.Cheol Su's mind raced, the possibilities whirling around him like a hurricane of potential. "Potions of Strength, Potions of Speed, Potions of Healing," he murmured, tracing his finger along the virtual list. "And these relics, these artifacts..." His eyes widened as he read the descriptions, his heart thudding in his chest.
"The Gauntlet of Wind," he whispered, his gaze fixed on the gleaming gauntlet, its intricate engravings pulsing with energy. "And the Pendant of Fortune..."He was drawn to the pendant like a moth to a flame, its silver surface gleaming in the digital light. As he studied its description, a sudden thought crossed his mind.
"Cyprus, could these items... could they help me gain experience points?" he asked, his voice laced with both hope and skepticism.
The system's reply came swiftly, as if it had been expecting his question. "Indeed they can, Liege. Many of these relics and artifacts can aid you in your battles, granting bonuses to your skills and abilities.
"Another text pops up the system glitches a bit, to earn experience points you must hunt down magical beasts and horning your ability".
"Beyond the walls of this monastery lies a world filled with both wonder and danger. Within the forests and mountains that surround us, magical creatures roam, their power aching to be tamed and harnessed. These creatures, from the humble" Forest Sprite, Wolf Cove ",hold Experience Points within their very essence. Defeating them will grant you the power you need to unlock your potential and claim the items you desire."
Cyprus's words hung in the air, a gauntlet of possibility thrown down before Cheol Su's feet.Cheol Su's eyes narrowed, the thrill of adventure and the pull of destiny mingling in his chest.
"Do you accept the quest?" Cyprus asked, the words glowing with intensity, daring him to rise to the challenge.
Without hesitation, Cheol Su sheathed his sword, a smirk spreading across his face. "I accept," he declared, his voice firm and resolute. "Let the hunt begin."
The system erupted in a flurry of activity, the text screen scrolling past too quickly for the eye to catch.
"Quest accepted.
