"The book of Mystery: Written by Ancient Hobbits, unreadable," Ryder read the description.

"That? Isn't that useless? Hahaha, I thought my item was bad, but that's clearly worse," MountainMan laughed out loud.

Ryder didn't react to him and opened the book.

'The book clearly has something written, but I can't read it. This should be written in Ancient Hobbit Language. I wonder if Rale can read it,' Ryder thought. He put the book back in his storage.

Shu started getting notifications for completing the Quest.

"Wait a minute; there's also a letter in the chest. I don't think it was there last time," Shu muttered as he looked towards the box.

"I don't see any letter?" Ryder muttered as he looked inside the chest.

"I don't see anything either," the others said.

"Strange," Shu muttered as he picked the letter.

'To the person that's reading this,

I'm the owner of the treasures that you found. My name is Albus Albino; I'm the Supreme Mage of the Resuria Kingdom. I am one of the strongest people in the Kingdom, but despite having all my Powers, I wasn't able to protect what really mattered to me,'

'My only daughter, Lexini, was kidnapped by the dark sorcerer of the Southern Elisia Kingdom. I've decided to put my life on the line to go to save my daughter, but I'm not sure if I can do it. I'm leaving these small treasures behind for the ones that may find them. If I succeed, I'll take back the treasures, but if you're reading this letter, it means that I've failed,'

'I don't know how many years may have passed when you open the letter. I'm not even sure if my daughter would still be alive. I won't 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. You'll be heavily rewarded for your effort,'

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.

Quest Grade: C

Time Limit: 2 month

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.

"What's 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.

"There's nothing on it," MountainMan let out with a frown as he saw the letter.

"Let's 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 didn't 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 I'm not wrong," Ryder asked Shu. In his three years of experience, he himself received quite a few quests this way; that's why he understood.

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about, but I didn't 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.

"That's what I thought. Alright, we'll 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 that's what it's about," Ryder muttered.

"Exactly, I also got a compass that can track the ring, but I'm sure that it won't be easy," Shu told Ryder.

"It's 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? We'll only have a month to do it if we waste a month," Shu told Ryder.

"Don't worry about that. One month is more than enough to complete that mission with that compass," Ryder chuckled as he stood up.

"I'll be taking my leave. I need to get back somewhere. Don't forget to level up, alright? I'll 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, they're too weak. They would be wiped out without your help," Rale responded.

"Exactly, but they would keep coming back stronger. That's how people should be. Never afraid of difficulties," Ryder chuckled as he stepped forth.

"Oh, right. Let's 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.

"That's 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.
