JellyFalls [C47]
In the middle of a forest.
"The word 'Teacher' means someone who helps others acquire knowledge. Exactly like how I'm teaching you now. Do you get its meaning?"
"Yes."
"Great, the next word will be-"
[Detected ??? at 32 km from here. Creating Quest...]
[Quest: Obtain the Special Item!]
[The System will give you the location of the special item. Try to obtain it!]
[Quest Difficulty: A]
[Quest Reward: Special item + 10 BS points.]
[Quest Failure Penitenance: 90% chance of Death.]
[Will you accept? Y/N]
"The system that asks me if I want to accept a quest?" said Shu Himo, shocked that the system actually gave him the chance to refuse the quest.
While it makes him feel good that he could refuse the quest, how could Shu Himo give up on a special item?
"I accept!"
[Quest Started.]
Feeling the direction the system is giving, Shu Himo immediately said, "Phylia, let's go toward there!"
-----
32 kilometers later, Shu Himo and Phylia finally reached the place.
"A lake!" Phylia, seeing for the first time a lake that was described before by Shu Himo felt interested and was about to jump inside, only to get stopped by Shu Himo.
She resentfully looked at him, but she then noticed that Shu Himo have a grim look, but why?
Looking better the inside of the lake, she then saw many monsters inside, quietly swimming. All of them are at least Rank 3, with some Rank 4.
If that was not enough, there are so many of them that it's not possible to count them all.
"System, do you know the name of those monsters?"
[JellyFall]
[Ancient Species of monsters.]
"I see, no further information... well, it will be enough." Seeing their form, Shu Himo felt to be looking at enormous Jellyfishes, so he made a plan based on knowledge about them from his old world.
"Wait here." Hearing Shu Himo, Phylia just nodded.
Feeling the exact point the system is aiming, Shu Himo then used [Hopper], and jumped on top of the bell of the closer JellyFall. Checking that they cannot attack if he stays on top of them, he then started using multiple times [hopper] to jump from one another.
[Skillful use of Hopper on top of monsters. Hopper leveled up: Hopper lv_2]
[Hopper lv_2]
[Allows creating an invisible solid platform mid-air to stand. It can also be used as a way of propulsion, creating a "double-jump". Limited uses in mid-air based on level, max consecutive uses at lv_2: 3]
"Great!" Feeling happy over leveling up [Hopper], Shu Himo slipped and almost fell in the water but saved himself using [Hopper].
[The system now just regretted having said "Skillful use".]
Shu Himo feels ashamed by what just happened, so he did not reply at all the remark just made by the system.
Reaching finally the area on top of the place signaled by the system, Shu Himo looked down to see how much the water is deep and seeing that it's about 50 meters he readied himself.
Jumping about a meter high, he then dived into the water, using a stacked x2[Hopper], descending extremely fast underwater.
The JellyFalls, noticing Shu Himo diving underwater immediately started channeling electricity from their tentacles, aimed toward Shu Himo. The electricity revealed a blue color that gave the chills to anyone who would see it, and Shu Himo was not different.
Seeing the attack, Shu Himo instinctively used the third [Hopper] to get more speed, dodging it and finally reaching the area signaled by the system.
He hit the ground with both feet, creating a depression of almost half a meter deep.
Instinctively taking the special item signaled by the system, Shu Himo did not have time to check what it was and just put it in the storage, and after doing that, he started looking up to see from where escape.
Unlike his expectations, there was no way to escape anymore, as all the JellyFalls completely blocked the path toward the surface of the water.
Searching for a solution, Shu Himo felt suddenly a threat and used [Hopper] horizontally, and, a moment later in the place where Shu Himo was a moment ago everything was destroyed by an attack via the electricity from the JellyFalls.
Shu Himo was puzzled seeing that, why the water does not amplify the strength of the electricity bringing it everywhere? Not having time to analyze the reasons, he continued to use [Hopper] toward an area with some space to escape.
Running for a couple of seconds underwater by abusing [Hopper], Shu Himo finally reached the side of the lake, looking again up this time he saw a slim path, between four JellyFalls and instantly tried to use the new level of [Hopper], stacking this time three [Hopper] as he saw that even that small path was getting smaller.
*BOOM*
The pressure from a triple stacked [Hopper] destroyed the ground and sent Shu Himo moving extremely fast toward the surface of the water. Only a moment before the path is completely closed, Shu Himo successfully broke through the surface of the water, escaping definitively.
Feeling that Shu Himo escaped, all the JellyFalls started heavily shaking, but none of them actually did anything to stop him from running away.
Shu Himo in the other hand, seeing that he managed to run looked toward Phylia and said, "I got it, let's run fast!"
Hearing Shu Himo she then morphed again into a horse and with Shu Himo they ran away from the lake, going again toward the Capital of Arsia.
As they are now safe, Shu Himo brought out the 'Special Item', only to find that it seems like a regular red gem, seemingly a ruby.
[Quest Success: Obtain the Special Item!]

[You now have 13 BS points!]
"System, what is this item?"
[To acquire this information is needed to complete a Mystery Quest, does the User want to accept it?]
"Mystery Quest? What do you mean?"
[User could call it a long quest that will not interfere much with the life of the user. It also possesses zero failure penitence.]
"If there isn't a failure penitence and it doesn't interfere much, I believe it's fine to do it, I accept."

"Quite precise aren't you?"
