"Oh hey, Holy Weapon leveled up."

Djin and Kreo were just entering Freemont after returning from their short expedition. Djin was browsing the menus and checked his status.

"I also have 5 new stat points to allocate from leveling."

"Just don't drop them all into one stat, you need to be well rounded to function."

Djin rolled his eyes at the suggestion and put all five points into intelligence. He needed a big mana pool if he was going to really dominate the game.

Kreo watched Djin as he fiddled with his stat menu. Djin finished and looked up at Kreo.

"What?"

"Nothing, waiting on you. What do we do next?"

"Marketplace, I need alchemy tools so I can make potions."

They headed over to the market, there was a lot less players here this time though. The ones they did see were rushing towards the forest, Kreo called out to one.

"Where's everyone going?!"

"Hercule is about to level his Power Strike to Lv. 10!"

The guy ran off, leaving Kreo and Djin in the market with the NPCs.

"Hey Djin, do you want to see?"

"Go ahead without me, I can get my shopping done and find someplace to start working."

Kreo started running before Djin could even finish his sentence. Hercule would be the first person to level a skill to ten, he had to see it.

There was a huge group of players gathered on the edge of the forest, Kreo fought his way in to get a good view. He saw Hercule, in the center of his audience. He was swinging his axe, it glowed with a red tint each time, and he shouted Power Strike with each hit, his target... a tree?

"What? Why is he hitting a tree? Does that work?"

Kreo asked out loud, and another player answered him.

"So far it has, he tried it out of frustration and noticed it gave him a small gain in the skills level. When he hit level 5, he noticed that the skill gained another property."

"It did, what was added?"

"Apparently, it has a chance to bypass defenses on use. Now he's almost to level 10, it should be any swing now."

And it was, not more than a few seconds after finishing the sentence, something happened with Hercule. Two green halos emerged from his head, and a third green halo appeared, The three rings braided together around Hercule's head and turned blue. The larger solid halo retracted back into Hercule and the crowd waited for suspense as he checked the skill. He stood still... shocked...

"Well? What is the skill!?"

Hercule muttered, too quiet for anyone to hear. The crowd grew anxious.

"Tell us!" "What did you learn?"

Hercule said louder this time.

"It's... Harsh Chop."

The crowd cheered, they'd never heard of that skill before. It sounded amazing!

"What does it do?" "Show us!"

Hercule nodded and went over to the tree, he hefted his axe and swung it at the tree.

CRACK

In one swing, the tree splintered, a huge wedge taken from the base. It began to fall and players scrambled to get out of the way. Once the tree lay on the ground, they cheered for Hercule.

"AMAZING!" "YOU COULD KILL A BEAR!" "JOIN MY PARTY!"

Hercule wasn't smiling though. Kreo noticed that. He called out to Hercule.

"Why are you upset?"

Hercule looked up, trying to see who asked... but it didn't matter. He told his fans.

"Harsh Chop is a lumberjack skill... it lets me hit a tree with five times my strength... I unlocked the lumberjack profession."

The crowd grew still, someone coughed, and the people on the outside started edging away. Hercule just stood there, saddened...

The crowd was gone, but Kreo remained, he went up to Hercule.

"So... you hit a tree a lot... with an axe... and got a lumberjack skill?"

"Go ahead, mock me. How was I supposed to know!?"

Kreo shook his head.

"You couldn't, you did something no one else did. You are a pioneer in leveling skills, but you know what else?"

Hercule looked at Kreo with hope.

"You have the potential to become a lumberjack, that tree you fell? How much coin would that wood fetch in town? Think about this game... not everyone will be warriors, mages, or rangers. There will be architects, traders, and even lumberjacks. Player built towns will emerge, and they'll need raw resources to do it."

Hercule thought about it and realized Kreo was right, he felt better now.

"Thanks, I suppose you're right. I might have lost my power strike, but I gained a great lumberjack skill."

"WAIT, YOU LOST POWERSTRIKE?"

Kreo was shocked, you lost your old skills!? He recovered quickly though and pat the suddenly disheartened man.

"Well, you'll be fine. Powerstrike isn't very useful as a skill, just focus on improving your potential as a lumberjack. Sell trees to the town and make money. You'll be fine."

Kreo gave the man another pat on the back and headed back to town. Hercule looked around and saw no one left, then he looked at the tree he knocked down.

"How the hell am I supposed to get this back to town?"

Djin had finished purchasing some tools from an NPC who specialized in medicines. A mortar and pestle, a distiller, beakers and vials, and some potion base, he only spent a few silver though. He headed to the quest hall and requested an empty room. They were available upon request, and apparently took you to an instanced area that only you or someone you invite could access. They were also preferable for players who wanted to logout in town. He had only just set out the tools and ingredients when he got a ping from Kreo.

Djin opened his messenger and saw a message waiting for him.

Kreo: Level 10 skill was a bust, guy messed up bad. How goes alchemy?

Djin wasn't sure what Kreo meant by that, he would ask him later though.

Djin: About to start working, at the Quest Hall, room ID: TofuPie

Djin started grinding the Dragon Toe with the mortar and pestle when Kreo knocked on the door. A small screen popped up in front of Djin.

User Kreo wishes to enter your room.

Djin hit Accept and dismissed the window. Kreo opened the door and walked in.

"Hey, you should've seen this dude, he got completely screwed by the game!"

"What happened?"

"So he got level 10, but because he did it by power striking trees, the game decided to turn evolve the skill into a lumberjack skill!"

"Evolve the skill?"

"Yeah, apparently when the skill hits 10, it transforms to something suitable for the player. Oh and it gains a new effect at level 5? That's the gossip I heard at least."

Djin pondered this, was this another way Lucky Day was combating meta gaming? You had to be using the skills for their required intentions to get what you want out of them. It made sense.

"So the guy leveled the skill to ten, what else?"

"Oh so, the skill halos, there were two in him and one more joined them, they wound together and changed color before being pulled back inside him."

"Ah, that's it?"

"Yeah, why? What else would there be?"

"I would've guessed he'd get an achievement for evolving the skill for the first time. Unless he wasn't the first."

Kreo stared at Djin... he hadn't thought about that.

"That means?!"

Djin nodded... there are players moving far faster than they imagined.

Silima woke up, well... she got out of bed. She spent most of the night tossing and turning, thinking about the message she got just before ejecting.

"Who could it have been? Maybe one of my guild members? I need to talk to Leon."

She hesitated though... Leon gave his contact info to all of his guild members, but stressed that it was for emergency matters only.

"But a player knows Resurrection! This is an emergency!"

She dialed the number, waiting as the phone rang. She didn't wait long.

"This is Leon, what's the emergency?!"

"Hey Leon! This is Silima, how's it going?"

...

Hmm? Did the call drop?

"Leon? Are you there?"

"Silima, why are you calling me? You were supposed to be scouting for field boss spawns."

"Oh I was, there's this cemetary near this town called Freemont, I was killing the monsters trying to spawn a field boss, but an elite spawned and killed me! It was this ghoul, it could... uhhh... well it got me before I could run away!"

"So you're dead? We'll talk when you can log back in, goodbye."

"WAIT, That's not why I called you!"

"Then what is it?"

"Someone tried to cast resurrection on me"

...

"Do you know who?"

"No... there was a notification that said they attempted it, but it only took twenty minutes off my death timer."

"Interesting... Freemont you said? I'll send Aeleo out to meet you when you respawn, I want you to find that player."

"You got it boss! Hey, will I be able to join the Slayers if I find him?"

Leon chuckled but he didn't let her hear.

"Just find him, we'll see after that."

Click

Silima set her phone down and took a deep breath.

"EEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!"

FINALLY! She had SOMETHING to help the guild with! She joined Ashen Fury on day 1, but the guild grew fast! Soon the less worthy players were being culled out. She grinded hard to raise her Ranger levels, but she couldn't keep up with the core players. Rather than get kicked out, she got assigned to the support section, her mission to find Field Boss spawns that the core group could farm.

"I'll find this player and he'll help me secure my position in the guild for sure! ...After 13 more hours of logout time..."

She sighed... but she was hopeful.

Grand Achievement - First Alchemist!

You are the first player to create a useful potion!

All potions you use will have a 30% stronger effect!

You consume 30% less ingredients when performing alchemy!

Profession Unlocked - Alchemist

Djin stared at the faint red potion in his hand. Minor healing potion, it only restored 50 HP, but at these levels, that was a third of most players life. He handed the potion to Kreo so he could see it himself.

"Incredible... you really made a healing potion."

"Yeah, I also got the achievement for being the first one to do so."

Kreo sighed... a bit louder than usual.

"You know that it's not very heartening to hear that right? You're just showing off now."

"I understand, but I gave you that potion for a reason, drink it."

Kreo cocked his head at Djin, he was about to object, but shrugged and downed the brew. He felt a hot wave of energy flow throughout his body, as though it was searching all of him... after twenty seconds, the heat dissipated and he felt normal. Then a plume of light enveloped him.

"HEY, I GOT AN ACHIEVEMENT!"

Djin nodded.

"I suspected you might, since I had just crafted the first potion. There was a chance you'd get the achievement for being the first one to drink a potion."

Kreo laughed at Djin and shook his head.

"I didn't get a first to drink a potion achievement. I got Super Healthy for using a healing potion at full health. It says I can now consume healing potions to temporarily increase my max health."

Djin laughed at that. Kreo grinned, still giddy about finding such a goofy achievement.

"Well, I was hoping you'd get something, so I guess this counts."

"Yeah, it's my first achievement too. It's not completely useless either, it depends on how much more HP I can retain and how long I can hold it."

Djin agreed, if it wasn't a small amount, it could help Kreo become a heavy tanker. But now he wondered...

"Kreo, how do achievements work?"

"You don't know, damn... gotta teach the newbie again."

"Hey, shut up, I'll be carrying your ass soon enough."

Kreo chuckled but he explained.

"So achievements are obtained by any player, according to the FAQ, any player can get an achievement as long as they didn't hear about it from another player. So if you metagame, you lose it."

Djin nodded... Lucky Day REALLY hated meta-gaming... Kreo continued.

"There are some achievements that players can only obtain once. These are called Grand Achievements, once a player gets it. They will be the only player to have that it."

"Ah... well lucky me..."

"Wait what? You got a Grand Achievement?!?"

"Yes actually, I have three now."

"What. The. Fuck?!? HOW? WHAT ARE THEY?"

Djin calmed Kreo down as he explained.

"I guess those make sense... damn, you're already on your way to being an absolute beast."

"I suppose, it's a bunch of permanent perks. Though I was lucky to get this much..."

"What... oh... you're right."

Kreo considered it, there were only so many Grand Achievements to be obtained. Djin managed to get three already, but as far as they knew, he might've only beaten someone else by seconds.

"We could try to get more of them... but I'm not entirely sure what the requirements are, or if we could still be the first to get it."

"You're right, let's focus on strengthening ourselves and if we get one, we get one. Chasing them blind will just waste time."

Djin nodded and returned to his brewing. He had the reagants necessary to make Stats Potions, they should provide a 1-3 bonus to all stats depending on the quality of the brew.

He set to work, he had to extract the seeds from the Heart Tear flower, and grind them with the mortar and pestle. He also had to burn the Mullgrass and collect the smoke that came from it doing so.

"Hey, is there anything I can do to help?"

"Sure, take all the seeds from these flowers and collect them in the mortar."

Kreo took the flowers and started peeling them open, collecting the few large seeds that were inside.

"Hey! These seeds look like tears, they're even blue!"

"Yeah, and the flowers are red like hearts, probably why they're named Heart Tear."

"These are called Heart Tear? Dude... did you name them?"

"NO! I found the name in an herbalism guide. I wouldn't name a flower so bluntly, whoever named it is probably the same guy that came up with All-In for the AI's name."

"The AI is named All-In? What lazy ass..."

"I know, I know."

Djin returned to burning the Mullgrass, he set a beaker above the grass and watched as purple vapors collected inside of it. Once the cloud was thick enough, he covered the beaker's opening.

"Okay, do you have all the seeds ready?"

Kreo passed the mortar to Djin, who set to work grinding them down.

"So after you grind it down, then what?"

"Then, I need to get the purple vapors to infuse into the ground up Heart Tear seeds, I'm not sure how to do that yet..."

"What? Wouldn't you just condensate the vapors then mix the Heart Tear into it?"

Djin paused and looked at Kreo.

"What!? I took chemistry with you! I'm not an idiot."

"No, you're right... that would work."

Djin took the Mullgrass vapors and focused on cooling them inside the vial. He let his mana pull the heat from the beaker as it dropped in temperature. It took nearly 10 minutes, but soon he had small purple crystals forming on the inside of the beaker.

"Intriguing... I can mix these into some heated potion base with the Heart Tear very easily... Kreo, you might just be a genius."

Kreo beamed, he watched as Djin poured potion base into an empty beaker and started heating it up with his flame magic.

"Your praise doesn't feel very good when you suddenly perform magic I can't even attempt."

"Hmm? Why not? What's your intelligence at?"

"8... I put a point into it each level."

"You should be able to gather a bit of mana then... try gathering it into your body, picture smokey vapors wafting around inside of you, try gathering them to one place."

"Is this a fart jo-"

"NO, would you cut it out with that childish shit? Just focus, once you have a bit of mana together, push it out to your hand. When you feel it, you'll be ready to ignite it. Just picture it getting hotter and hotter, like you want it to burn you."

"Is it going to burn me?"

"No, you'll be fine, but you have to want it to combust, and in wanting that you'll have to accept that fire will be very close to your hand. If you subconciously reject it, you won't be able to create fire."

Kreo understood and he began focusing on his mana.

Djin returned to his mixture, the potion base was heated, now to add the Heart Tear seed and Mullgrass crystals. Slowly he dropped in a precise amount of each into the vial. It began to change color, a hazy purple. The blue started to react more violently though, the mixture spewing out copious amounts of sticky vapor.

"Shit, Kreo, you need to get out. I think I made a mistake!"

Kreo didn't hear him though, he was focused on the small ember he had burning in his palm. He turned around excitedly to show Djin.

Which is how the fire caught the vapor trail and ignited all the way back to the beaker. Djin flinched, Kreo ducked.

But nothing happened... no explosion... and the mixture stabilized.

"Djin... are we okay?"

"I'm not sure... let me check..."

Djin crept closer to the potion, it was settling with a bright smokey purple color. He picked it up to look closer.

Grand Achievement - First Perfected Brew

Using knowledge unknown to history, you managed to perfect a flawed recipe.

All potions crafted have 20% greater effect.

You produce 50% extra potion when brewing.

Water can be used instead of Potion Base.

Profession Unlocked - Legendary Alchemist

Djin couldn't move, he couldn't speak. Kreo could though...

"DJIN, I GOT AN ACHIEVEMENT!"

"No, I'm pissed. You get a grand achievement, you get a one-of-a-kind profession unlock, and what do I get? Lucky Fluke what kind of shitty game does that to a player?"

Djin sighed and tried to console his friend.

"You got an achievement though! So what about my Grand Achievement all it does is let me brew more potions, that helps both of us. Don't think about it."

"You can become a Legendary Alchemist Djin... LEGENDARY. Don't even try and tell me that isn't absolutely sick."

Djin had to accept that, a Legendary profession. Well it wasn't a legendary class, and he hadn't been able to accept it yet, since he had to go to the Trainer NPC to get professions formally.

"Still Kreo, you got an achievement, and it's pretty good at that."

"Lucky Fluke? Oh sure, it's grand! I have a 1% chance of turning a bad situation into a great situation. How will I know when it procs Djin? WHAT KIND OF VAGUE ASS CRITERIA IS THAT?"

"Kreo, you're shouting. Calm down, you never know when that could matter."

"Oh, sure, I have a one in a hundred chance at not getting fucked sometime in the future. Surrounded by a pack of wolves? Doesn't trigger. About to be crushed by a giant? Nuh uh. Wake up an angry dragon? Nope. Fart next to a cute girl? It triggers! She giggles! Terrific. Grand."

Kreo sighed... Djin was sure those sighs were getting louder and longer.

"Forget it, I'm not upset. We should get to the NPC Trainer and see about getting you that profession, we don't want to miss out."

"Okay, but first... take the potion I made."

Purple Heart Elixir

Raises all stats by 5 for 1 day.

Raises endurance by an additional 10.

Legendary Effect

All potion effects strengthened by 20%.

Kreo accepted it, but had to ask.

"Wouldn't it be better for you to use it? You get a 30% greater effect from potions right?"

"Are you kidding? We aren't going to use it, we're going to sell it! Think about how much moeny it'll get us."

Kreo went wide-eyed... he considered it.

"That's genius! We could sell this potion for... 50? No, 100 gold! We need to make more right away!"

Djin shook his head.

"If we make more, the market value goes down, we'll sell them at a rate of about one a day. Maybe we can trick people into thinking its a quest reward."

"Why though? We can make them, we can get rich!"

"Think about it Kreo, you really think we can protect ourselves if a group decides to exploit us? This game allows endless possibilities, I'm not putting slave labor out of the picture just yet."

Kreo stiffened... he hadn't considered it. He definitly had to keep Djin safe or he might lose him to some evil guild.

"You're right, I wasn't thinking. We can sell this on the auction house and opt for anonymity."

"Go ahead and post it, I'll meet with the Trainer to see about my professions."

Kreo accessed his menus to file the auction, while Djin walked into the Quest Hall. After asking at the front desk, he went down a hallway where he found the Trainer NPC. He looked plain, but he had white letters above his head, signifying he was a essential NPC. In an effort to separate the game mechanics and the game world, essential NPCs didn't act like real NPCs, they stayed in one place and typically performed only one job. The Quest Hall was full of them, but you wouldn't find them anywhere else.

Djin sat down in front of the man, and immediately a window opened.

Welcome to the Trainer.

Please select below.

1. Class

2. Profession

3. Skill

"Jeez, talk about an immersion killer."

Djin selected the Profession option.

The following professions are available: Price Enchanter 5 gold Alchemist 5 gold Legendary Alchemist 5,000 gold

"F-f-five... t-t-thousand gold?!?!"

Djin practically fell apart in his chair... he can't afford that, he wouldn't be able to afford that for months! Even if he grinded non-stop to save the money up.

"Why is it such a rip-off?! I put in the work to unlock it, why do I have to pay for it!?!"

Djin took a breath and calmed down. He thought about the situation.

"I'm the one who unlocked it, I'll just have to use the Alchemy profession and raise money to afford it. It won't be a problem."

Djin winced when he checked his funds, he only had 85 silver and some coppers on him. Kreo wouldn't have any more than that either... they would have to wait until the potion sold. Djin sighed and backed out from the menu. He decided to check the classes submenu.

The following classes are available to you: Fighter (Starter Class) Free Scout (Starter Class) Free Apprentice (Starter Class) Free Elemental Mage (Unlocked by Achievement) 100 gold Priest (Unlocked by Achievement) 100 gold

"FUCK!"

Djin stood up and went to find Kreo, who was looking at jobs available on the Quest Hall board.

"Kreo, this game is so shitty."

"I told you, but why are you upset?"

Djin explained the gold requirements to Kreo.

"Wow... this game really is shitty. But hey, the potion sold instantly at 100 gold!"

Djin sighed with relief.

"Okay, I can get the Elemental Mage class, let me have the money."

Kreo passed the gold to Djin.

You have received 80 gold from a trade.

"...Kreo... this is only 80 gold, you said it sold for 100 gold..."

"The auction house takes a cut, an even bigger cut if it was an anonymous sale."

"This... this... SHIT GAME!"

"Calm down, look just go take the Apprentice class, since it's a starter class, there won't be that big of a penalty for paying for a class change later."

Djin fumed a bit longer but finally reliquished. He went back to the Trainer and took the Apprentice Class... he grabbed the Enchanting and Alchemy professions too before he came back.

"You feeling better now? Let's take some quests and earn some experience and coin."

"Fine, but I'm getting my Elemental Mage class as soon as we have the money for it."

Djin walked over to the quest board and tapped it. A menu appeared before him, offering a variety of assignments. Monster subjugation, delivery jobs, escort requests... There were even a few player created quests. However, all the quests had one thing in common.

"These quests pay jackshit! How the hell did someone even get 100 gold to buy our potion?"

"What do you expect? I'm level 4, you're level 2. We won't get big money until later on."

"So I'm damned to play a Apprentice and wait forever to get my Legendary Alchemist profession. Great."

Kreo chuckled as Djin moaned about his situation.

"I guess Lucky Day planned for this too. Why don't you check your new class out and I'll find us a quest that works."

Djin agreed and left to peruse the new options available to him. Kreo returned to looking at the quest list.

"There sure are a lot of requests... most of them aren't even fighting related. This one is more of a job offer for a dishwasher, who would play a game just to wash dishes? Oh, wait... this one might work. It won't be easy with just Djin and I, maybe we can find someone to join us."

Kreo selected the quest and chose to accept it. He left to catch up with Djin and died laughing when he saw Hercule straining to pull a tree into town, asking if anyone wanted to buy it.

Magic Missile - Lv. 1

Fires bolts of charged mana. Each missile does 3 damage.

The number of bolts fired is proportional to mana used.

Djin nodded as he read the spell that came with his Apprentice class. A staple damage dealing spell, one that had existed in many forms, long before Endless. He took aim at an empty patch of ground and cast the spell.

"Magic Missile."

He felt the magic rip some mana from his body and push it out towards his hand. A blue purple sphere quickly shot from his finger tips out towards the patch of ground.

"Crude... It doesn't seem to be very mana efficient. I'm sure some casters would just accept that as how it should feel."

Djin frowned and concentrated the mana in his body, he pulled roughly 50 MP to his hand, then pushed it down to his finger tips and thumb to build pressure. He took aim at the patch of ground again and let the magic flow out, five azure orbs flew from him, crashing into the ground with greater force than before.

Player has improved their skill. Updating ability.

Magic Barrage - Lv. 1

Fires multiple bolts of charged mana. Each missile does 5 damage.

Additional damage will be dealt for consecutive hits.

The number of bolts and firing speed increases with mana used.

"Hmm... no achievement? I would've thought that warranted it."

Djin shrugged and closed the spell menu. Just as he was about to check the profession menus, Kreo showed up.

"I got a quest for us Djin, we have to scout for signs of goblins at a nearby cave. We might want to add a few bodies to our party though."

"Is it really that dangerous?"

Djin was skeptical, but Kreo explained.

"Goblins are pack fighters, if we are fighting one, we're likely fighting nine or ten. It wouldn't hurt to have some buffer space between you and them."

"Sounds good, did you have someone in mind?"

Kreo shook his head, the two of them started looking around for someone to add to their group. They didn't have much luck though. Over and over, they would find someone interested, share the details of the quest, only for the person to change their mind.

"Ugh... all these cowards! It's just goblins, there might be a lot of them but they're weak!"

Kreo vented his frustrations, but Djin had an idea. He made his way over to the forest, looking for a target. It didn't take long before he found a wolf chasing a player who was running for his life. Djin took aim and cast.

"Magic Barrage."

Five spheres whizzed through the air and struck the wolf's flank. The spell exploded as the last orb hit, causing the beast's side to tear apart, the wolf whimpered and faded to grey light in a matter of seconds. Djin watched as the spell connected and nodded in satisfaction as a white 25 + 15 floated from the spell's impact.

"I expected the 25, I'm guessing the 15 is the bonus damage... I wonder how that's calculated."

Djin mused as he tried to workout the math... maybe it's 3 extra damage per missile? But wouldn't it just be 8 damage per strike? The player he saved just stared at where the wolf had been, he had fought with it for 4 minutes but only managed to do 7 points of damage. It was hard, if he was too aggressive the wolf would punish him. He had to poke and strike only when their was an opening, but these monsters were smart. Djin took this opportunity to boast about this kill, loud for everyone to hear.

"Kreo, can we get going to the quest now? I'm sick of blowing up wolves while we wait!"

Kreo got the idea and played along.

"Sorry Djin, the other guys were supposed to meet us here. I don't think we should try it just the two of us, it might be risky."

Djin sighed and cast Magic Barrage at another wolf that was creeping in the bushes nearby. A few bolts went wide, but the wolf was aggroed by the attack.

"Hmm, 15 + 6, still not sure how that bonus is calculated..."

Djin was oddly calm for someone with a wolf bearing down on them. However, he raised his hand and concentrated more mana than usual to it. Kreo was getting nervous, the wolf would be upon Djin within a few seconds. He began to rush over to save his friend when Djin fired his spell. Over fourteen bolts of energy exploded from Djin's palm as he mouthed the words for his spell again. The wolf was too close and in mid-stride and couldn't avoid even a single hit. The spell ripped through the poor creature, leaving only chunks of flesh to turn to gray light.

"70 + 105... damnit, that doesn't make sense either. Well it's good to know the bonus damage can do more than the spell's damage."

Djin sighed in frustration, he hated math puzzles, but his cast had attracted a lot more attention. Kreo grinned at the opportunity and shouted out.

"Hey, anyone want to join us for a quest?"
