"The book of Mystery: Written by Ancient Hobbits, unreadable," Ryder read the description.
"That? Isnât that useless? Hahaha, I thought my item was bad, but thatâs clearly worse," MountainMan laughed out loud.
Ryder didnât react to him and opened the book.
âThe book clearly has something written, but I canât read it. This should be written in Ancient Hobbit Language. I wonder if Rale can read it,â Ryder thought. He put the book back in his storage.

Shu started getting notifications for completing the Quest.
"Wait a minute; thereâs also a letter in the chest. I donât think it was there last time," Shu muttered as he looked towards the box.
"I donât see any letter?" Ryder muttered as he looked inside the chest.
"I donât see anything either," the others said.
"Strange," Shu muttered as he picked the letter.
âTo the person thatâs reading this,
Iâm the owner of the treasures that you found. My name is Albus Albino; Iâm the Supreme Mage of the Resuria Kingdom. I am one of the strongest people in the Kingdom, but despite having all my Powers, I wasnât able to protect what really mattered to me,â
âMy only daughter, Lexini, was kidnapped by the dark sorcerer of the Southern Elisia Kingdom. Iâve decided to put my life on the line to go to save my daughter, but Iâm not sure if I can do it. Iâm leaving these small treasures behind for the ones that may find it. If I succeed, Iâll take back the treasures, but if youâre reading this letter, it means that Iâve failed,â
âI donât know how many years may have passed when you open the letter. Iâm not even sure if my daughter would still be alive. I wonât ask you to save my daughter, but I hope that you can fulfill my last wish and find the ring that my daughter was wearing. It was a gift from the Royal Family. Please find that ring and return it to the Royal Family of Resuria along with the second letter. Youâll be heavily rewarded for your effort,â
Shu finished reading the letter silently.
[You have received a chain Quest]
[Quest: Find the Ring of Lexini and return it to the Royal Family of Resuria.

Limitation: You can only select one person to share this quest with. No other team member allowed]
[Would you like to accept? Y/N ]
As soon as Shu finished reading the letter, he received a Quest.
"Whatâs in the letter?" MountainMan asked Shu as he saw him standing there.
Shu accepted the Quest before he looked back at MountainMan.
"You can read it," Shu muttered as he passed the letter back.
"Thereâs nothing on it," MountainMan let out with a frown as he saw the letter.
"Letâs leave. The Quest is done," Shu told them before he walked out of the room.
MountainMan threw the letter on the ground and left the room with others. The letter disappeared.
They walked out of the Dungeon and went back to the city before going their separate ways.
They didnât forget to remind Shu to invite them if there was an exploration like this again. This exploration turned out to be quite fruitful for everyone.
Only Shu, Ryder, and Rale had stayed behind.
They walked to a beer bar and sat on a table far away from others.
"What was in the letter? It must be a quest if Iâm not wrong," Ryder asked Shu. In his three years of experience, he himself received quite a few quests this way; thatâs why he understood.
"Thatâs what I wanted to talk to you about, but I didnât say it in front of others. I received a quest, and I can share it with one person. I want you to be that person, Brother Ryder," Shu said.
"Thatâs what I thought. Alright, weâll do this Quest together. Let me see what it is," Ryder told Shu.
Immediately, he received a notification.
[Big Daddy wants to share a Quest with you]
[Quest: Find the Ring of Lexini and return it to the Royal Family of Resuria.
Quest Grade: C
Time Limit: 2 months]
[Would you like to accept? Y/N ]
Ryder accepted the quest.
He read the detailed description.
"So thatâs what itâs about," Ryder muttered.
"Exactly, I also got a compass that can track the ring, but Iâm sure that it wonât be easy," Shu told Ryder.
"Itâs a Grade C quest, so it should be tough, but not impossible.
"You should still try to level up. Level up as much as you can in the next 30 days. After that, we will start the quest," Ryder told Shu.
"Is this really right to delay it? Weâll only have a month to do it if we waste a month," Shu told Ryder.
"Donât worry about that. One month is more than enough to complete that mission with that compass," Ryder chuckled as he stood up.
"Iâll be taking my leave. I need to get back somewhere. Donât forget to level up, alright? Iâll meet you later," Ryder told him as he left.
He walked out of the city with Rale.
"So, Rale? What did you think about the way people progress here?" Ryder asked Rale.
"It is strange. It is as Your Highness said, I could feel them getting stronger the more they kill, which is quite fascinating. But still, theyâre too weak. They would be wiped out without your help," Rale responded.
"Exactly, but they would keep coming back stronger. Thatâs how people should be. Never afraid of difficulties," Ryder chuckled as he stepped forth.
"Oh, right. Letâs go back," He added.
"Yes, Your Highness," Rale nodded as two wings appeared behind his back. He carried Ryder with him as he flew towards Malta Valley.
"Hey Rale, I have a question for you. Do you know the Ancient Hobbit Language?" Ryder asked Rale as they flew towards their destination.
"I do know the Ancient Hobbit Language, and I must say, it was one of the toughest languages to learn," Rale replied.
"Thatâs good. I might need you to translate something written in the Ancient Hobbit Language for me," Ryder told him.
"Of Course, Your Highness," Rale nodded his head.
"Oh, another thing. What do you know about the Vampires of the Undead Realm?" Ryder inquired as he remembered about Miyali.
"The Vampires?" Rale muttered as he frowned.
"Yeah, I want to know everything you know about vampires," Ryder said again.
