BXBX NOVEL Chapter 15 - -14<Quests>
[Host, quests have been updated. Would you like to have a look at them?] Dobby asked.
'Sure.' Arvin said nonchalant. The Arvin was greeted with three quests that were available for him to take on in the quest menu…
............….
{FORCED QUEST}
Quest- RACE to the TOP
Description- ????
Rewards-????
Penalty- Death
............
As Arvin saw this quest his mind went haywire for a minute. This quest said that the penalty for not completing the quest is death? And the cherry on top is that this quest is forced? After reading about this quest Arvin realized something…
This world may be a game for the gods. But it is a survival game for the earthlings. And the only way to win or stop the game is to reach the top….
Arvin was confused about why the hell is wrong with the description of the quest. It wasn't showing anything. He had guessed from the name of the quest that it is something related to the race to the top floor of Yggdrasil. So, he decided to let future Arvin look into this quest for now, and let's move onto the next quest…
.............
{FORCED QUEST}
Quest- Road to become strong
Description- Host body is weak and could be blown away by any small-time beast of the 1st floor. To become stronger, host has to start training. Complete the following tasks for 4 months…

..............
'Another Forced Quest with penalty as death. Are you F**king kidding me!' Arvin screamed in his mind.
Although he could understand the significance of the quest, still this quest was asking too much from him. He had seen the size of those logs that Josh had to cut. They were 15 feet tall and had at least 60 inches of diameter. That is a huge log. How the hell is he supposed to cut the log all by himself? This quest was absurd.
Arvin when saw the exercise that he had to do daily after cutting logs was also a pain in the a**. Arvin had spent his entire life, either working or studying. There was no way in hell that he could accomplish these goals. After all, he had never really exercised in his life. But as he moved towards rewards for the quest he saw something interesting….
'Hey, Dobby. What is a Rejuvenating pill?'
[It is a pill that helps in replenishing its user's stamina. It also affects the soreness of the body.]
'Wait. Does that mean that if I take this pill after doing tasks mentioned in the quest, all my stamina will be restored?'
[Yes.]
'And it will also affect the soreness and pain of my body?'
[Yes.]
'That's good to know…' Arvin said in his mind. Then he moved on to the third and last quest that was available in his quest' menu…
............…
{NORMAL QUEST}
Quests- I AM HERE!!!
Description- Announce the world about your presence. You are the apostle of the great god ??????. Announce the world that you have come
Reward-
1>Get famous with your face known to all people… The Guardian Shield
2>Get famous with your face not known to all people… The Guardian Shield and Ice Magic
Penalty- None
............
'That is what I am talking about. A normal quest finally' Arvin exclaimed as soon as he saw that this was a normal quest. But as he read through the quest and saw its rewards, his happiness turned into an expressionless face.
If someone sees the quest, he could tell that this is a normal quest. But after going through, one time Arvin understood the deeper meaning behind the quest…
There may be no penalty for not completing the quest. But from the rewards, it could be said that Lopt was giving him two options. And he had to abide by either one of the options. When Dobby told him about the difference between normal earthlings and Apostles he understood one thing. Yggdrasil is a big stage and all the earthlings are its puppets, performing for Gods.
If Arvin didn't complete this task then it may not have dire consequences like the first two consequences, but it will affect the relationship between Lopt and him. And as Dobby had already told him, Lopt has the power to not give him any Exp or a very low amount of Exp. So if he didn't do this task for his entertainment then Lopt may lose interest in him and then after that, he was good as dead…
It was a harsh reality, but it was the truth. Arvin then steeled his resolve. He had to work hard for his survival. He had been doing that for his whole life. But the difference between the past and now is that now that he had a backer that could reward him handsomely for his efforts…
...........
The next morning Arvin woke before Josh could. He wanted to complete his exercise before anyone found out that he was working out. He did this because he didn't want anyone to know about his strength. He wanted this because of the last quest in the quest menu. The highest reward that he will get is he gets famous while being anonymous.
He could only do that when no one in this world knows about his true strength. That was the most important part of his plan. The highest reward that he will get is too good to let go. So he had decided that he would train while not being noticed by anyone. This way he could have chances to get the highest reward…
But completing the exercise was not an easy task. He had never exercised before in his life. He didn't have to, he had always been in a walking skeleton all of his life. It was only after he drank the potion that Dobby provided him with, his physique changed a little bit. Arvin was confident that his transformed body after drinking the potion will be able to do all the tasks with ease. But boy he was wrong.
Although his transformed body did help, but not up to the extent as Arvin had thought of...
Arvin became jelly after he completed the 10 Km run. He lost all the senses in his legs. They went numb. He could only feel the pain and agony of his leg from what they had just experienced. As he was feeling the pain, it was then Arvin realized that this was only the first task that he had completed. He had to do 5 more tasks…
As the sun was about to rise, Arvin completed all of his tasks. He had no more power left. His whole body was aching like he had been crushed by a bulldozer. Yet still, he had a fire in his eyes. It was because he knew that all this pain would go away as soon as he completed all the tasks. He may be walking with the help of a stick now. But as soon as he has done all of his tasks he will be normal again…
..........
[Host has completed daily task]
[Host has been awarded Rejuvenating pill.]
[Host has gained 5 Exp.]
Messages came pouring down as soon as Arvin cut the last piece of wood of the log. It was night time. Josh had completed his share of woods a long time ago and went home while Arvin stayed here cutting a log as mentioned in the quest.
It took him a long time to finish his tasks. Now all his body was sore. Still, he had a proud smile on his face. He had the feeling that he would not be able to complete the task. But as he was able to complete them he was smiling. This was his first step towards greatness…
'Hey Dobby, how can I access the Rejuvenating pill?'
[Host just needs to think about the pill and it will appear in your hands.]
'That's convenient.'
Arvin then thought of the pill and soon magically a brown color ball appeared in his hands. The pill was the size of an eyeball. At first glance, Arvin thought that it was disgusting. He then closely inspected the ball. It didn't have a weird smell on it. It was odorless.
Arvin believed in Dobby so without any second thought he ate the pill. The pill was a little spicy but it was nothing that an Indian like him couldn't handle. But as soon as he swallowed the pill after chewing it, the spiciness in his throat vanished like it was never there, to begin with…
#SPICY now he got the sh*ts
