[MC POV – Sprinting through the Undaunted Forest]
System Notification pops in front of Grim's face, forcing him to stop mid-run.

Grim (staring blankly):
"Eh?? What even is this quest? Protect… the invaders? Tch. Whatever — I'll think about that later. First I've gotta get to the village!"
He takes off again — bursting through the treeline — only to see Archoly soldiers slaughtering civilians.
Archoly Footman (spotting Grim):
"Oi… who's that?! One of the villagers!?"
Swords are swung — but all miss.
Grim (flinching):
"Sh*t— that was close!"
Miss.
Miss.
Archoly Soldier:
"W-What?!"
Archoly Mage (frowning):
"Tch. Probably just high dodge rate. Apply debuffs. Arcane Flux — Binding Curse!"
MISS! MISS!
Soldiers start to panic.
Archoly Commander:
"H-He's untouchable… is he Mael's backup?!"
Mage (grimacing):
"Teleport mage! Report to Lord Kai — we'll hold him off!"
Teleport Mage:
"Understood! Try not to die!"
He vanishes in a flash.
Grim (scratching his head):
"Your aim sucks. Cool spell effects though — just to miss like that? Pfft–!"

[Cut to Village Center – Mael vs. Kai & Zhar]
Mael slams his staff down, summoning a radiant shield dome to guard the remaining survivors.
Mael:
"You will NOT touch another villager!"
Kai (laughing):
"Oho? Master, you've improved after all these decades! That's the spirit!"
Zhar (eyes bloodshot):
"Die already!! — Arcane Magic: Oblivion Spiral!"
Purple spirals crash into Mael's barrier — cracking it.
Kai (delighted):
"Ahh~ I'm enjoying this reunion so much! Take your time, Master."
Suddenly — a low-tier teleport circle flashes nearby.
Kai (annoyed):
"Hm? Who dares interrupt me right now?"
Teleport Mage (nervously approaching):
"M-Master Kai! S-Sorry to disturb you, but there's an intruder outside the village…"
Kai (furious):
"Then kill him."
Mage:
"We tried — but we believe he is… Mael's new disciple. Our spells can't touch him."
Kai pauses — amusement returning.
"Mael… you've taken a student?"
Mael (whispering under his breath):
"…That kid!? Why is he here…?!"
Kai (grinning ear-to-ear):
"Wonderful! Then allow me to show you what kind of teacher you really are, Master."
He unrolls an ancient, blood-inked scroll handed by the Archoly Pope.
Mael (eyes widening in horror):
"...N-No. You fool. Do you even realize what that scroll contains?!"
Kai (mad laughing):
"Of course I do — it's a summoning spell. Hahahah!"
Even Zhar and the soldiers flinch.
[Back to Grim – being surrounded]
Archoly Soldiers:
"Why won't our attacks land!? Are you even mortal?!"
Grim:
"You fools! Clearly you don't know I've got plot armor! This is just a tutorial quest, right?!"
Suddenly — a massive red aura surges into the sky.
Archoly Soldiers (terrified):
"Wh-What's that…?!"
Grim (eyes sparkling):
"Oh! Is that the quest pointer?? Nice!"
He dashes straight toward the giant crimson glow — leaving the soldiers confused and horrified.
[Village Center – Kai begins forbidden ritual]
🔒 Forbidden Demonic Spell – Hell's Call of the Eclipsed Prince
Summons a demon ranked depending on the caster's evil resonance.
A massive pentagram begins burning into the earth… black smoke twisting upward… a colossal hand starting to emerge… dark eyes flickering open with hellfire.
Narrator (ominous):
"In Mystery Adventure, rarities are simple, right? Common → Uncommon → Rare → Epic → Mythical → Legendary → Divine → Demonic → Angelic → (…the rest are hidden).
Season One was only supposed to reach Legendary.
Divine was already a myth — bu
t Demonic…? That wasn't supposed to appear at all.
Then again… nothing has gone according to script ever since that clueless player stumbled into the Undaunted Forest…"
