"Alright, alright," I said, raising my hands in surrender. "It's not like I don't want to help you. It's just… one thing after another kept coming up, and I didn't get the chance to focus on you guys. Anyway, first tell me, what are your quests?"
Steve glanced at North and said, "You go first."
She nodded and took a small breath before answering. "It's called Courageous Death. I have to kill twelve level 199 humans by striking their hearts. The cause of death must only be the destruction of the heart—no accidents, no side damage, nothing else."
I blinked, taken aback by the phrasing. "Wait, it actually says 'humans'?"
She nodded, her expression serious.
"How's the progress so far?" I asked.
"Only four out of twelve," she admitted. "It's harder than it sounds. You have to control every strike perfectly so nothing else kills them first. And finding level 199 humans willing to fight to the death… that's another problem."
