Meeting the heretic

Liam's eyes remained locked on the ominous cave entrance, his instincts screaming at him that something was off. The dense, unnatural darkness seeping from within wasn't normal—it was thick, suffocating, and radiated a presence that reeked of corruption.

Then, suddenly—

Ding!

A blue notification window flashed into existence before him.

[New Quest!]

[Take Down the Heretic]

[Rewards: 30,000 EXP]

Liam's brows rose slightly in surprise. 

 'A new quest?' His eyes flickered over the words, and a small smirk tugged at his lips. 

 'Thirty thousand experience points for taking down a single heretic?' 

 He hadn't expected the reward to be that high, regardless, it was a welcome reward.

He let out a slow exhale before turning to the three girls standing beside him. Emma, Lela, and Cynthia all had their eyes fixed on the cave, their expressions tense.
