Chapter 9:Urgent quests
How did Ank even begin to complete this kind of quest?
How could he possibly insult her mother just for strength? If he ever tried, he knew he would descend on the planet and beat her to death, shouting, "How can you insult your own mother for the sake of strength?"
Just imagining that sent a chill down his spine.
"I will never complete this quest," Ank muttered to himself.
And what about the quest related to gaining a fiancée? He had no intention of completing that one either.
To Ank, love was nothing but a waste of time. Power was the true purpose of his learning. The only love he ever carried was for his mother's creation, which he respected above all else, and for his father's protection, which he cherished and respected .
Anything beyond those two, he merely admired or treated as competition. He had no life for love.
And an unknown quest by my mother, I know she will definitely give me quest like something like making fiance or related like this.
While he was lost in thought, a new pop up appeared before his eyes:

Hidden Message: Don't stress, my son. I will help you. Your mother will help you. I am searching for a way to aid you. Just wait. This hidden message can only be seen by you. I can send one message every three months, so wait for the next one.
After reading the message, Ank finds that his mom is searching for some way to help him.
Ank was feeling happy but he had no intention of meeting his mother at least for now.
And a dragon sword is a good reward. Wait a moment, this is my sword that I used in the past before becoming emperor.
The damn system , for my sword I have to complete your quest.
You damn system,he cursed the system.
And reaching level 30 had hidden reward , interesting he muttered to himself.
By watching all this ,one thing I conclude that Urgent quest has less time when normal quest
So I had to complete this urgent quest first.
But then.
BOOM!
The mountain roared. The sound split the air like some cut the air . The ground quaked beneath his feet, and the air was filled with some negative energy.
Ank suddenly moved ,his heart was beating fast. "What now?!"
He rushed outside, his bare feet pounding against the ground. From shockwaves, houses in villages start cracking . The sun was gone, swallowed by an ocean of storm clouds. Lightning danced across the sky.
The villagers screamed running here and there .Everyone started moving out of the house. Mothers clutched their children, while men tried to shield their families with trembling arms. The once peaceful village was nothing more than a cage under siege.
And then ,another window appeared before Ank.
[New Urgent Quest Issued]
Subquest 3: Save Maya Silvertone
Time Limit: None
Location: Duskwild
Difficulty: Threat
Reward: Teleportation Card ×3
[Teleport to any location you have visited, without mana. One time use only.]
Penalty: Maya's death
Time until quest starts: 1 minute
""Maya ?" Ank's voice dropped to a whisper.
His chest tightened. The words carved themselves into his vision, glowing like a cruel Penalty ,Maya's death.
For some reason ,he had an unknown feeling that he had to save Maya at any cost .A death he could prevent. A death he must prevent.
The system had cornered him, leaving no room to breathe. It wasn't about power, or strength, or even ambition this time. This wasn't about him.
This was survival but not his survival.
His blood starts boiling , he starts moving towards the mountain in a storm. His jaw clenched so hard his teeth ached .
"So this is it, then," he muttered, staring at the distorted sky. "A quest ,no. A choice."
This was a choice given to him what will he choose for his future .
Lightning flashed before his face ,His irritation with the quests, his disdain for this cruelty, all of it coiled into a single flame pushing him to save Maya even in this condition .
"Fine," he said to himself , his eyes blazing with determination. "If saving Maya is the price . then I'll pay for it."
Ank knows that he will not survive.
The countdown began.
60 seconds.
Ank was struggling in breathing due to the storm but his mind was sharpening like a blade. Every fiber of Ank focused on moving. The irritation was still there growing , relentless but beneath it now ran a current of something else. A determination as solid as that he can even fight a god without moving his eyes.
He would not let the system toy with him. He would not let Maya die.
Not now.
Not ever.
The storm raged on. The darkness deepened. The village trembled.
And Ank prepared to step into the storm, to save someone that is going to change his view about life, someone that plays an important role in his life.
This is the day , Everything is going to change for Ank,Maya , old man Arthur,village , this continent,this planet.
And the real fight will begin.
This was a fight that made Ank a new person and helped him to forget the past and motivate him to move forward.
So in Ank story a new chapter will be added after this.
