Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 – Baptism of a Dreamer

  Skill chamber 

  The Baptism Shrine of Melosa, nestled deep in Lovara Primary, shimmered with celestial threads as Sako, angel of registry, stepped forward. With her was Mr. X, a seasoned adventurer who had cleared over 200,000 quests, known for his legendary skill Detecta — a power that could reveal hidden potential.

Sako gestured toward a trembling twelve-year-old boy.

Edward's face was streaked with tears.

"I don't want to die like my family… like Master Lizo. I don't want to be an adventurer."

Mr. X studied him.

"Fear is natural. But potential like his… rare. Take him to the Skill Chamber. Don't push him into battles — train him. Send him to the Formula Questoria Academy for three years. Only newly baptized 12-year-olds are allowed without quest records. This one… he could reach Formula Questoria need 10 million quests to stay may be u can work with 5 million if you make by your own effort, not shortcuts."

Sako nodded solemnly.

"Then we hire Tyson, the elf who cleared 5 million quests. Aged 750, green-haired and serene, he's the academy's greatest teacher. If anyone can nurture Edward, it's him."

She turned to Edward:

"If you refuse adventure, death may find you anyway. Like it found Lizo. Learn, grow — like I did."

Fear flashed through Edward's eyes… then steel.

"I'll try."

Edward entered a sanctum lined with glowing cards. He reached for one, guided by something beyond logic.

The card ignited and a Status Board flickered into view:

Skill Obtained:Curtain Falls

Grants a random skill per use — passive or active. May trigger up to 3 attacks.

This power defies prediction and breeds chaos. Only one use per Curtain pull.

Sako gasped.

"Even God Jason never saw this skill. Skills are infinite. Some are common, but this… it's unique."

She explained: note 3 points 

1) Questoria's Status Boards are private and untrackable

2) No stats. No levels. No restrictions.

3) Pure freedom "We are not game characters,"

she said - "In Quest Land Primary, we play games with stats in console for free time . But here… we live for  our quests."

Adventure was the main path. But music, cooking, blacksmithing etc — all side jobs flourished. Edward would choose his fate.

Sako opened the Celestial Portal.

"Tyson will meet you beyond this. Learn what it means to fear... and to be feared."

Edward stepped toward the light, whispering:

"Thank you, Sako-sister. I've seen became adventurer by tragedy... but I'll change my fate. I'll become the name with whisper then they will tremble."
