The Act

Yur rushed through the forest with Velmira and Zhal. His sword was in hand, while the Ashen Grasp remained coiled around his arm like a dormant serpent.

The nearest city was still far, and he wanted to get there as soon as possible.

Zul, create a few quests that can be done here to assist me.

[Processing…]

[Complete!]

[…]

Dozens of quests loaded, neatly aligning with his long-term and short-term goals. As expected, Zul provided tasks that would reward him with each completion, paving a smoother path toward his objectives.

As they moved through the dense underbrush, Velmira suddenly halted, her gaze snapping toward a cave.

"There's something in there," she muttered, pointing. "I sense a presence."

Yur narrowed his eyes. Zul, can you detect it?

[Scanning…]

[Two humans detected.]

Humans? That caught his interest.
