Murim Recurve Chapter 144
Advertisement
Quests were either easy or difficult based on the character one played as and the type of Quest they obtained. Considering her first Quest as an example, if Re'Kha had chosen to chase the thugs on foot, then she would have simply failed the Quest.
Her speed would make her unable to even close in on the speeding bike. Moreover, the exertion might tire her, cause her clothes to tear, or even make her faint under exhaustion. After all, her body was one that hardly ever did any physical activity. So, it was tremendously frail.
The moment she fainted, Re'Kha was unsure as to what might happen to her. Maybe she might end up in a hospital or maybe someone might use this chaos to kidnap her. Either way, she would have been too late to reclaim her purse.
Moreover, if she was late in reacting to her purse getting snatched, the chauffeur might have driven her car away. And, to get it back, she either had to wait for him to return or head inside her office to call the designated person to take care of it.
And, in such a case, she might have come across a co-worker who might have rushed her to the meeting. After all, based on the documents she carried in her bag, she was very likely part of something important.
And, the moment she entered the office, one thing or another would lead her to the meeting. After all, meeting with one co-worker was enough to generate a quest where she had to be present for the meeting.
It would give rise to conflicting Quests where she had to choose one over another. They were the worst of the bunch. Though, if that had been the case, she would have chosen the office Quest over reclaiming her purse.

After all, the purse Quest was a forced Quest and didn't have any punishments. But, this also meant she wouldn't receive the related rewards for it, not to mention losing her documents, which would place her in a situation in the meeting where she had to obtain them one way or another.
Maybe by then, the Quest would have become something even bigger, something beyond her capability to handle.
That's why the prompt retrieval of her car saved her from a lot of trouble. After that, she obtained two Quests from the children who she had made use of to reclaim her purse. And, thanks to her character's wide range of contacts, she was easily able to solve a difficult Quest.
'This character has a lot of money and connections. So, Quests in this line are the best suited for her.' Re'Kha thought as she drove the car, deciding that she had earned enough Prana Stones for this exploration.
Thanks to the forced Quest, and her prompt actions, Re'Kha had solved three Quests quickly. She made the correct use of the variables around her. In the previous explorations, even though she used the variables, they weren't the perfect combo. So, she had spent the entirety of her time and barely managed to obtain some Prana Stones.
3:30 PM; Re'Kha glanced at the time displayed on her mobile, smiling as she noticed the number of missed calls registered on it. She didn't pick them up, for she knew she would be pulled into another Quest if she did so.
She had missed an important meeting, the repercussions of which would have grown significantly by now. So, attending the call would be dangerous. Besides, she had already obtained 6 Prana Stones. It was a significant sum, the likes very few Harmonisers would have obtained.

So, she didn't wish to risk her life any further and increase the chances of accumulating damage. Out of the 6 Prana Stones, one would be returned to the Burfuna Vi Clan while the rest belonged to her.
Since they were useless to the current her, and as they couldn't be taken beyond a certain distance from the portal itself, Re'Kha planned to give them to Mu'Tua as a show of her appreciation. And, even these five Prana Stones were a significant sum.
If she obtained any more, then it would look suspicious. And besides, it was unnecessary risks for unwanted causes. So, Re'Kha planned to waste the rest of her exploration time.
She had appeared at 9:20 AM, so she had time until the same time the next day to conclude her exploration. Re'Kha activated the GPS, clicking the button in it that said 'Home'. She then drove her car according to the route and returned home.
The moment she looked at the apartment where her penthouse was situated, information gushed into her mind, detailing her husband the two kids she had. Re'Kha immediately slammed the brakes on her car, reversed it, returned to the road, and started driving once again.
According to the memories, the husband of the character was an interior designer. So, he worked from home most of the time, only moving out of the house to click pictures of the homes he was commissioned to design next.
So, interacting with him was bound to cause an information exchange. And, there was a chance it might lead into another quest, whether easy or difficult. Moreover, her kids were also at home. So, one way or another, it was a bad decision to return there for the time being.
Re'Kha sped her car along the road, stopping along the side once she had crossed a certain distance. She thought long and hard, 'How do I spend the rest of my time here?'
She then thought of something, zooming out the map of the city she was in until the name of the city appeared, "Ben…ga…luru?"
She then iterated it a couple more times until her character spelled it right, "Bengaluru."
Re'Kha then thought of the scenic location in the place on Earth she had accessed during her previous explorations—from Burkurel City. She searched the place on her phone, "Mysore Palace."
The searches showed it as she determined the name of the city it was based in, "The city of Mysore."
She then set a route to Mysore Palace in her GPS, "Hmm, it takes around four hours. I have more than enough time. This is doable."
She whirred the car to life and sped along the road, "Let me see if I am able to access that place."

Carus - Libertas
participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge and also having a go at NaNoWriMo this November. This was a first draft published as it was written for Nanowrimo November 2020. A little rough around the edges, I hope to come back and edit at some point, and then continue the story on. In the grand scheme of things Elias was nothing special. Which was why he was surprised by a random company on a new colony planet buying out his contract. That was the problem with the large companies that ruled the colonies, once they owned your contract, they owned you. Imagine the greater surprise when he learnt that the new company held the promise of freedom. Not from the constant battle against the Swarm that were also trying to claim the colony planets for their own. Nor from the Crust, the mysterious substance that covered the same planets and held the resources they all fought for. No, the freedom from being oppressed by those with more power and to finally decide where to go and where to set down roots and call home.
