《Online Game: I Possess a Monster Merging Simulator!》Chapter 24: Light Priestess Leisha!

"The village just suffered a great calamity. Young adventurer, quickly help repair the village." The missionary said earnestly.
Hearing this, Lorne was speechless. As a powerful adventurer, how could he do such a small thing like building a village? He was wasting his talents.
"I'm here to turn in the mission," said Lorne.
"Mission?" The missionary thought for a moment, "Young man, I don't think I've given you any mission?"
Lorne swore internally upon hearing this.
This missionary was young, how could his memory be blurry? Could it be that yesterday's battle had damaged his brain?
Lorne was speechless. He did not want to say anything else, so he took out the mission slip he had obtained at the time and threw it to the missionary.
The other party glanced at it.
His eyes instantly widened, and he acted as if he had seen a ghost.
"You did this, adventurer?"
"How is this possible! You are only a weak Summoner. How can you complete such a difficult mission?!"
Although he sensed that Lorne was Level 10, the Summoner did not have any combat ability. Even if he could summon pets, it was impossible for him to kill so many stone beetles in such a short time!
The missionary froze. It took him a moment to recover.
He could not believe that someone could complete this mission in such a short time and that such a huge thing had happened to the village yesterday.
However!
The number recorded on this mission list with magic power could not be faked.
This young adventurer had indeed done what others could not. There was no doubt about it.
"You surprised me, young adventurer."
"Although I cannot believe it, you have indeed completed this difficult task in an impossible period of time."

"This is your reward. The glory of the Empire and the Deities will forever shine upon you."
Calming himself, the missionary prayed sincerely.
At the same time, a light poured over Lorne.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations on completing the mission 'Missionary Assessment'!"
"Favorability received from the missionary: +50. Current Attitude: Friendly."
"Reward: Experience Points +2,000 (+3500), Reputation Points +300, and Gold Coin +1."
"Due to completing the mission ahead of time, additional equipment is obtained: [Exquisite War Boots] (Bronze)."
————
[Exquisite War Boots]
Grade: Bronze
Speed: +6
Agility: +3
Level Requirement: 10
Introduction: ….

It was a good piece of equipment that Lorne could use.
He directly changed out of his Beginner's Grass Shoes. His speed also increased from 28.8 to 33.4.
In addition, he received other rewards, including 5,500 experience points, which were used to increase the level of Minotaur One.
Rimuru needed too many experience points. If he forcefully increased its level now, it would severely reduce the efficiency of Lorne's farming.
After dealing with that, Lorne looked at the missionary again and asked, "Didn't you say there was another mission?"
He did not forget the true purpose of this test.
The missionary made an inviting gesture, "Come with me, adventurer. The priestess will give you that more important task."
Priestess?
Lorne was surprised.
No wonder the test just now was a time-limit mission. It turned out that there was a 'big shot' behind it.
...
Following the missionary into the interior of the temple, there was a barrier at the entrance that prevented the other players from seeing. At that moment, Lorne found himself in an even more glorious temple.
A white-robed woman sat in the middle of the temple. Her eyes were closed, as if she was meditating.

As he neared, a name could be seen above her.
[Light Priestess Leisha] (???)
"Greetings, Priestess." Lorne bowed respectfully.
Virtual games were different from other types of games. In the virtual world, NPCs also had their own thinking ability. If you offended them, they would hate you, and showing proper etiquette could increase their affinity.
At the greeting, the eyes of Priestess Leisha opened. They were golden.
"Young adventurer," Priestess Leisha spoke, her holy voice echoing through the temple, "the power of the abyss has corroded this peaceful land. The power of darkness lurks near this village. Under the guidance of the Dragon Deity, I came here to disperse the darkness and investigate the source."
"After many days of exploration, I obtained some information, but now I'm in some trouble."
"Will you help a noble Light Priestess, young adventurer?"
"I will." Lorne nodded.
It was obvious that the Church of Light wanted to entrust the hidden mission to him. Only a fool would not be willing to do so. The Church of Light was one of the most powerful forces in the Empire, and behind it stood the Dragon of Light, Hamut.
Because they were opposing the dark forces, the Church of Light was also the faction with the most missions.
There was no reason for the players not to get close to such a force.
"Thank you for your help. May the glory of the Empire and the Church forever shine on you."
Priestess Leisha gave him a soft smile, "Perhaps you already know of the Valley of the Dead, and the minions of the Dark Abyss who have infiltrated the Empire. They lurk in the cracks of darkness, awaiting the moment to swarm out."
"What these dark creatures do not know is that the empire has long discovered their location and has not eliminated them. They only want to give the adventurers a test. When you are powerful enough, the empire will announce their location."
"However, I did not come here because of this. My original mission was to inquire about a secret matter. Now, the key to that information is likely to be in the deepest part of the Valley of the Dead."
"However, as a Light Priestess, I cannot enter, because the space opened by the dark minions is very likely to connect to the abyss. If they sense my power, that might attract extremely terrifying existences."
"Therefore, I need a powerful adventurer to help me enter the deepest part of the Valley of the Dead and uncover its secrets."
A look of concern crossed the noble white-clad Priestess Leisha's face.
At the same time, a mission notification appeared.
"Ding!"
"You have triggered a unique hidden mission in the world: [Explore the Valley of the Dead]. Do you accept it?"
"Accept." Lorne nodded excitedly. This was a unique mission in the world, and the rewards for completing it would be immense.
However, when he opened the mission details and checked the mission requirements, he immediately felt a sense of pressure.

Travelers [DROPPED]
DROPPED. The story focuses less on dungeon building than on the why of dungeons and how they fit into the universal order. While I am working from a grand plot, the writing is going slice of life style because I need to do that to work out how things progress into that grand plot. The original story seed idea / synopsis is below. The Grand Tapestry protects Rhofhir from Primal Chaos by imposing Order via patterns. However, the patterns grow stiff, stagnant, and so the Tapestry is nearing a time of Unraveling. Evidence of past civilizations wiped out during previous Unravelings foreshadow the apocalyptic catastrophe looming over the world. The mages of the Arcane Asylum reach out across dimensions, searching for some way to prevent, or at least stall, the coming Unraveling. Among the many voices they find is a gifted graduate student researching machine-assisted telepathy -- and his gaming group. Lena never expected that the chance to play DnD with telepathy would result in her becoming an actual Dungeon Master, nor that her friends could become the bosses of her dungeon. This is, in many ways, her dream come true, but there's a catch: What happened to Brad, the creator of that telepathy machine?
