The quest was only ranked F- and took a few minutes to get the location where I was supposed to deliver the letter. When I got to the house an elderly lady was sitting on a rocking chair while knitting.
"Hello Mam, This Old Man had told me to hand this letter to you," I stated while walking up to her with the letter in my hand.
"Oh you mean Jerry?" asked the Old Woman.
"Uh, He didn't give me his name, he had just told me to give this letter to you."
"That seems like him, always forgetting to introduce himself." mumbled the old woman.
"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself, my name is Rosa, I'm a seamstress. Also, Jerry is an old adventurer he used to be like you before, settling down at this small village. You appear to be new here, would you like some information?" asked Rosa.
"Oh, yes I'm an adventurer I don't exactly know my way around here if you could give me some information that would be great," I stated, currently I had no clue what village I was in, or where I was. All I had done, was focus on finding quests and leveling up.
"Sure! First off, this village is named Hecum, apart of the Kraido Kingdom. If you go to the center of the village you will see a 2 story marble building, that is where our mayor Charles resides. If you talk to him, he will probably issue some tasks to accomplish. You seem like a pretty nice person, here take this piece of paper if you give it to Charles he'll give you better tasks to accomplish than the other newcomers."
Side Quest Created!
Difficulty F-
Find Mayor Charles and present this piece of paper to him.
Rewards:
+10 Affection with Charles
Minimum Quests that will be given D.
"Oh, thank you so much, Rosa!" I sincerely was thankful as the only quest I was given was F- and that was being a mailman. If I received a quest that was minimum ranked D, I would most likely get way better rewards, pushing me ahead of other players.
"It's no problem, also do me this favor and give this letter to Jerry for me."
"No problem, I'll make sure Jerry get this letter."
I wished farewell to Rosa before making my way back to the old man who was named Jerry.
When I made my way back to where I first got the quest from Jerry, I saw him on a rocking chair with a bottle of alcohol laying next to him.
I was about to wake him up to complete the quest but I saw a note laying on the table next to him.
Note:
Young adventurer when you come back please do not wake me up. Your rewards are on the table and I have one more favor of you to do for me. Please pick up the letter on the table and bring it to my friend, Thank You.

I was surprised that the Quest had another part to it, but I wasn't going to say no to free XP.
I made my way back to Rosa's house in only a few minutes. I quickly exchanged pleasantries with her before, handing her the letter.
She quickly opened the letter and read its contents.
However, as she was reading the letter she started to tear up and in a few moments, she was completely sobbing.
"Rosa? Are you ok?" I asked her.
She tried saying something but her sobbing had completely distorted her words.
I didn't know what to do in this situation but, all I did was wait for her to stop crying. After she had stopped crying, I tried to comfort her.
"Thank you, I'm sorry about that," said Rosa in a weak voice.
"It's ok, what happened to make you cry so much?" I asked in a confused voice.
"Ah, that old man Jerry said that he had to go somewhere and most likely wouldn't be coming back," said Rosa while nearly sobbing once again.
I didn't exactly know what to say in that situation, so all I did was wait for her to continue the conversation.
"Young adventurer, what is your name? I had completely forgotten to ask," said Rosa.
"My name is, Ichijero."
"Oh, what wonderful name! Hold on, Jerry had wanted me to give this to you," said Rosa, before heading into her house, and bringing out a full set of armor and handing it to me.
"I-"
"Don't worry this is a gift to help you on your adventure. Jerry said that you reminded him of when he was young, running around town and asking others if they needed help," said Rosa while sobbing up once again.
"Thank you very much!" I said with gratitude, by doing this side quest, I had once again gained another foot above the rest of the players.

This armor had completely exceeded my expectations, although the set had a few downsides this would completely put me above the rest of the players.
"If you ever need something to be stitched back together you can come back here and I'll give you a 50% discount," said Rosa
"Oh thank you very much!"
"Also, I know you are probably going to talk to the Mayor soon to receive a quest, but before you do head back to where Jerry was. In the letter he said, he had something that would assist you in the future," said Rosa.
"Oh, alright I'll head down there now!" I said, after saying goodbye to her.
When I arrived at the place where I met Jerry I saw a letter on his chair where he was asleep. I opened the letter which I had assumed was for me.
Letter:
Hello young adventurer, I never got your name but, you reminded me of myself of when I was young. You must quite happy after receiving my old armor from Rosa. I'm sure that it will aid you in the future. If you look under the chair where I was sleeping, there's a loose floorboard, if you pull that out there will be some items in there, its all yours.
Drunkard Jerry...
After reading the letter I quickly moved his chair away to lift the floorboard. It was just as he said, there was a chest underneath the floorboard.

Although, with my talent it would best to be a mage, I currently don't have any offensive spells to use, so this sword would be a good substitute until I could unlock my class.
However, I suddenly had an idea, what happens if I transmute the sharpest knife from the real world into in-game? What would happen?
