Volume Two

The voting is over and the random anomaly has won! The author has also decided which anomaly to include using a random wheel!

But I can't tell you this yet, I'll give you a surprise!

The main feature begins:

A few days later...

During this period, the guild was very unpopular, with very few customers and very few tasks requiring commission.

These were undoubtedly simple tasks involving collecting furs and gathering herbs, which Alice was tasked with.

However, a few tasks were hunting-related, and these were assigned to Reid.

Because there are so few tasks, one person can handle them all.

Aside from one particular task today...

Because of this mission, Reed felt a sense of familiarity...

[A general store in a gothic town...]

Reina sat at the front desk as usual.

Alice had also gotten used to the maid outfit and was sweeping the floor with a broom.

Footsteps sounded outside the door; a new guest had arrived.

The guests were two boys, but strangely...

A man was supporting his seemingly deranged companion.

He was sweating profusely and looked around nervously.

He helped his companion to the front desk and said, "Hello, excuse me, but could you tell me where the Holy Healing Hall is?"

Rena looked up at the other person's flustered appearance, somewhat confused.

But she still pointed and asked, "What's wrong with you all?"

The man stepped closer and said, "We're adventurers going to wipe out a cult, but... we need to get treated first."

After speaking, the man was about to help his companion to the Holy Healing Hall when Rena said something to the departing man.

"If you need to hire someone, you can come to my guild!"

Alice slowly walked over and asked softly, "What happened to Sister Rena and the others...?"

"It's about that cult again..."

Rena felt a vague unease. "It seems like we're encountering more and more people doing this lately, and even missions to exterminate cults are popping up more often."

Something seems to have happened in the Gothic town these past few days. Adventurers have been fighting a cult, but they all returned in disarray.

Or perhaps they died without a complete corpse, which led to a slight increase in the rewards for the mission to defeat the cult.

Adventurers, driven by the lure of monetary rewards, set out to vanquish the cult, but few returned unscathed.

Cults aren't much better than most; they're basically the sluts of this world. Some skilled and capable adventurers can hold their own against them.

But these past few days have been very strange. People have been asking what these survivors went through to become like this.

However, without exception, they all forgot and couldn't remember. The matter is still under further investigation.

Because of the recent events where many people were condemning cults, Alice saw a business opportunity and sold a lot of holy water.

This has led to the small shop barely surviving, relying entirely on the holy water.

A sound of footsteps followed, and someone entered the store.

Rena turned her head to look over, then walked over to the person and asked, "What kind of mission are you giving out this time, bro?"

The man, carrying a knife on his back and wearing cloth armor, took out a quest sheet from his small bag and stuck it on the quest board in the shop.

This man's profession is called a quest issuer; their job is to issue quests to various guilds according to the instructions of their superiors.

These tasks will be assigned based on the strength of the guild.

To put it simply, these are official missions. Some missions have a time limit, while others can be completed whenever you want.

The man greeted Reina, exchanged a few casual words, and then left to continue his work.

Rena started looking at the quest board; it was a recent, high-profile quest to eliminate a cult.

Mission type: Kill

Mission Location: Black Crown Cult in Senmu District

Mission Objective: Kill 15 members of the Black Crown Cult.

Proof of completion: Obtain the mark carried by the Black Crown cult.

Quest Reward: 980 coins / 2 iron stones

Difficulty: Slightly below medium

The difficulty of this task is clearly beyond the capabilities of the Story of All Things Guild's guild level.

Previously, the guild could only accept some animal-killing challenges, but today is different; it's directly marked as low to medium difficulty!

But even superiors have humanity; they simply assigned the task to the union.

There's no requirement for the guild to complete it or for it to be completed within a time limit; you can even never accept the task.

After examining it carefully, Rena was somewhat shocked; this quest was beyond the guild's level.

This doesn't usually happen. Is the cult growing larger? Is it out of necessity?

Rena looked at the rewards below and was somewhat tempted.

Alice, gripping the broom, said, "Rena's quest... seems to be beyond our level..."

"Indeed, these are usually things we can handle, but for some reason, they went crazy today and suddenly started this mission."

Rena felt that the 100% quest was a trap; the most talked-about topic these past few days had been the Black Crown cult.

Many people think this task is extremely dangerous, and only those who want to gamble and win big would dare to take it on.

Those who want to live a little longer should stay far away from this mission.

Some even think that if the cult problem worsens, the government will probably send soldiers over.

Rena's first thought upon seeing this quest was not to touch it, but then she remembered that there was a guy in her guild!

Reid was clearly no ordinary person; he didn't look like a low-level adventurer at all. He accepted the hunting quest...

He returned with five wild boars in less than an hour, proving that Reed was no low-level adventurer.

Of course, only the three girls knew this; the others either thought Reed was a low-level adventurer or that he was a hidden master.

Rena said, "Liz, wake Reed up and bring him over to see if he'll accept this mission."

Alice nodded, put down the broom, and trotted to Reid's room.

Alice was about to knock on the door when she noticed that Reed's door was open.

He slowly stepped inside and saw Reed still covered up tightly on the bed.

Alice noticed that Reed seemed to tremble slightly, and Alice slowly approached.

Reach out a hand, grab Red's arm, and slowly shake it.

"Reed, wake up... Reed," Alice tried to wake Reed.

Suddenly, Reed sat up abruptly, startling Alice, who let out a soft snort.

Reed sat up, panting heavily. After catching his breath, he rubbed his forehead with his hand. "Damn it... I dreamed about that health bar again!"

Reed swore as soon as he got up, and Alice, standing on the other side, looked a little nervous.

"What's wrong, Reed? Did you have a nightmare?"

Reed saw Alice beside him and nodded. "Yes, I had a really disgusting dream."

"What is the content?"

Reed was about to speak instinctively, but then swallowed his words and waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

Alice was genuinely curious, recalling Reed's earlier outburst of profanity: "What's a flesh health bar?"

Reed shook his head, got up, and walked out of the room.

The "health bar" that Reed mentioned is actually [data deletion].

Reed walked out of the room, feeling somewhat unwell.

I just dreamt about Lobotomy's DATA EXPUNGED. Reed still has a deep-seated fear of that thing.

Even after being transported to another world, I still dreamed about this thing.

The reason Reed called "Data Deletion" a "meatball" was because all the employees called it that.

All employees unanimously call this disgusting thing "Meat Blood Bar".

Reina explained the new mission and recent events to Reid.

Reed glanced at the task sheet, intending to complete the task.

After Reed accepted the mission, he felt uneasy...
