Chapter 24 – Farming Monsters, Getting Stronger… and What the Fck is This Quest?

Back to the Grind

After my unexpected conversation with the princess, I decided to ignore it completely and get back to what actually mattered.

✔ Getting stronger.

✔ Farming monsters.

✔ Avoiding main story bullsh*t.

So, naturally, I found myself back in the dungeon outside the city, cutting through monsters like they were training dummies.

The sword hummed. "You know, you're actually getting decent at this."

I smirked, slashing through a wolf monster in one swing. "'Decent?' I'm f*cking amazing."

"Eh. Don't get cocky."

Progress Check – Leveling Up

After weeks of fighting, dodging, and nearly dying, I could feel the difference.

✔ My speed was faster.

✔ My reflexes were sharper.

✔ My strength had grown enough to crush a goblin's skull with my bare hands.

Not that I was gonna try it.

I'm not a psycho.

And Then… The System F*cks Everything Up

I had just finished clearing a group of monsters when suddenly—

[DING!]

A bright blue screen popped up in my vision.

I froze.

Because my system?

It had never done this before.

[SYSTEM MESSAGE]

[New Quest Acquired!]

✔ Quest: ???

✔ Objective: ???

✔ Reward: ???

I squinted. "…The f*ck is this?"

The sword sounded just as confused. "Wait. You have a system?"

I sighed. "Oh, great. Now I have to explain this sh*t."

Explaining the System (Sort Of)

I kept my eyes on the glowing text. "Yeah. Ever since I got thrown into this world, I've had something like a game system."

The sword hummed. "Huh. Wish I had one of those when I was still a person."

I ignored that.

"But this is new. I've never gotten an actual quest before."

The First Quest – What the Hell Does It Mean?

I tapped the floating screen, trying to get more details.

Nothing changed.

✔ No explanation.

✔ No context.

✔ Just a vague a quest with no clear goal.

I frowned. "How the hell am I supposed to complete something when I don't even know what it is?"

The sword snorted. "Welcome to life, dumbass."

"Wow. So helpful."

---

Ignoring It (For Now)

I sighed, closing the screen. "Whatever. If it's important, I'll figure it out later."

For now?

I had monsters to farm and stats to grind.

But deep down, I had a feeling—

This wasn't something I could ignore forever.

And when the system finally decided to reveal what the quest actually was—

I had a bad feeling it was going to f*ck up all my plans.
