[Quest Log:
1. Getting started!
-> Initiation: go talk to the village head.
2. Help the Smith
-> Initiation: ...…..]
I checked the quest log once more as I was headed towards the village head's house.
[Quest: Getting Started!
Description: Go Get the list of quests from the village head
Reward: Essence orb]
When I first checked this quest, I thought that it was simply a waste of time; didn't I already have the quest log for that?
However, as I inquired about it to the system, it turned out that it was the main point about gaining the quest log.
Apparently, other people who choose the first mode could do quests, but they would have to go searching for them while guessing how to initiate them, which would surely be a waste of time.
I, on the other hand could have two choices, either just pick quests I liked and initiate them easily with the help of the quest log, or just do the first quest and use the quest list as a recommendation, instead of going through the pain of initiating every quest individually.
The most important part of this quest was of course, the reward, an essence orb was one of the most important things I needed at this stage of the game.
In actuality, the exp in this game wasn't simple game like experience points. the so called 'exp' was simply the blood essence of living beings, so if you kill a monster or an enemy you receive part of their power leading to leveling up and getting a few stat points.
Normal natives of this world could only absorb a smaller portion of this 'exp' to strengthen their bodies in a certain direction according to the type of the beast/enemy and their bodily potential, while increasing their level accordingly. On the other hand, we players absorb almost double the amount of essence and can decide the direction we develop our bodies in, using stat points allocation.

If I return to the main point of this, the essence orb is precisely the way of storing essence. since low level monster essence stop benefiting hunters at some point, it was used as a more precious form of currency other than coins, so to simply describe it, the essence orb was like an essence wallet.
So, at this stage where I couldn't absorb essence to level up due to the level limiter of the hidden mode, storing the essence I could receive from quest completion and hunting would be the most suitable choice, and here is where the essence orb's importance lies.
This information about essence were as usual, from the tutorial knowledge transfer and the past body' memories, which both proved so useful as time passed.
I pushed these thoughts to the back of my mind as soon as I reached my destination, as I knocked on the door.
The door was opened after a few seconds, as a man who looked like a giant and had a huge blue beard came to my view.
"Yes, How can I help you? oh....."
"It is lil' Ian! long time no see, your face looks quite different than the last time I saw you, you have grown up quite splendidly!"
This was the Head of Thunder village, no one knew his actual name, but everybody called him Bluebeard, or just blue for short. He was a friendly middle aged man, who was loved by everybody in the village.
"Uncle blue, I was just here to ask for a small favor."
He was a close friend to my now missing father, so the other Ian used to call him uncle blue, and in return, Bluebeard was quite fond of him and doted on him a lot. That was of course, until he became a shut-in. Since then the busy village head rarely visited him. which was quite weird if you thought about it....

"Anything I can do for my dear nephew!"
"I was wondering If I could get a copy of the list of requests."
"Hmmm, sure…., but wait, why would you even need that for...."
"I plan on clearing quite a bit of them" I scratched my head as I replied.
"Oh, now that you mentioned it, you look like you trained quite a bit. you look much more different than your old sickly state."
"Still, do you really need to do them? Some of them are quite dangerous, you could always ask uncle if you are in need of money."
"I plan in leaving this village soon and roam the world, so I need to get some battle experience while also earning some travel fund!"
"Ah, Looks like you finally woke up to your potential, you are his son after all, errr. Fine, if you believe you are ready, then I won't stop you, wait a sec."
He searched for quite a bit and returned while holding a scroll, a red ball, and a sword.
"Here you go, you will surely need this orb later on, this sword is a gift from me!"
I received the stuff, and I stored the orb and scroll in my backpack, as I stared deeply at the sword.

A World Worth Protecting
By the year 3029 CE, Earth’s technology has developed rapidly, borders no longer exist, and Earth has been unified, marking the beginning of the era of the Federation. At that time, a huge sword flew from the heavens, piercing the sun and causing a huge sensation on Earth. Perhaps because the scabbard of the sword was already in tatters, countless shards have broken off from it following the collision with the sun and spread across the universe. Many of these shards have landed on various places across Earth. With the arrival of the bronze sword and its shards, a new unlimited energy source has suddenly appeared on Earth. This energy source has since been named Spirit Qi. Spirit Qi is like air, thick in some places and thin in others. As the Federation and other factions gather more shards, they discover more information on cultivation, pill refinement, Spirit Stone refinement, and other techniques. The words on the shards have an ancient feel to them, making it a trend for people to use ancient language. The appearance of Spirit Qi rapidly makes the original energy sources obsolete and has completely changed people’s lives. Not only has the Spirit Internet been formed, Spirit Qi has also changed the course of Human Civilization, causing the world to enter a civilization of cultivation. This would later come to be known as the Spirit Inception Era.

The Mortal Acts
The Mortal Acts is an epic progression fantasy with a lower focus on training aspects and a great focus on discovering new ways of using powers intelligently. I've always been drawn to stories where characters use their powers creatively to overcome opponents and obstacles, and I think all the possibilities can provide a great playground for twists and turns. It's inspired by a variety of media, including Will Wight's Cradle, Hunter x Hunter, and Bioshock, so if you like the creative power use elements from those, come check it out. This is my first serial, and please feel free to leave comments and feedback. For backstory, behind-the-scenes, and other fun stuff, come chat on my discord! Become a patron to read up to 20 chapters ahead here! Blurb: Riven Morell cuts short his regular life at school and home when his mother falls terminally ill. Desperate to find a cure, he travels to Severance Frontier, a desolate land haunted by hordes of ghosts, witches, and demons collectively called the Deathless. But a miraculous cure doesn’t magically fall into his hands. Things are worse in Severance Frontier than Riven had assumed. Ghosts are banding together into armies, demons are kidnapping anyone who strays out of settlements, and witches are enslaving everyone left and right. Riven, of course, gets embroiled in the mess. Missions to curb the Deathless activity are one thing, but when it starts to look like this is just the beginning of a war that extends beyond the mortal realm, Riven has a hard time focusing on why he came to Severance Frontier in the first place. His mother is inching towards death with every passing day, but if he doesn’t face down the Deathless, what little civilization the Frontier holds will be overrun and destroyed. Thankfully, it looked like the Deathless might just hold the secret of the elusive cure.
