I spent hours poring over the status of my abilities, scrutinizing every detail. Next, I turned my attention to the task pages. It wasn't long before I discovered my first priority. It was a daunting one: I had to venture towards the infamous Undead Mountain. The mountain, renowned for its treacherous paths and eerie atmosphere, was alarmingly close to my home - a mere few blocks separated my safe haven from this ominous location.
At long last, I managed to claw my way to the peak of the menacing Undead Mountain. My legs were jelly, my heart pounded like a drum against my ribs, and my lungs gasped for every breath. Sweat trickled down my forehead, stinging my eyes. The summit, though harsh and unwelcoming, felt like a victory stand. I had battled against my own physical limits and emerged victorious.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host!" The system chimed in, its voice a soothing balm against the harsh winds. "Your journey to the top of the Undead Mountain was no easy feat, but you've made it. Your relentless determination has borne fruit. Take a moment to rest and let your heart rate normalize. Today, you've proven that no mountain is too high for you. Well done, dear host!"
"Ding! Congratulations, Host!" The system's voice cut through the harsh mountain winds. "You've conquered the Undead Mountain. Your determination has paid off. Rest, let your heart steady. Today, you've proven there's no mountain too high for you. Well done!"
A moment later, the system chimed in again. "Your first task is complete. As a reward, you've earned 6 PP and a 10-beast contract seal."
A wave of gratitude washed over me. "Thanks, system. You're the best."
The journey, the struggle, it was all worth it. I immediately inspected the details of the beast contract seal. The system explained, "This seal allows you to bond with beasts, earning their loyalty. When connected to their souls, you can tap into their powers and merge with them."
Incredulous, I muttered to myself, "Damn, I must be the luckiest guy in the world."
"Ding! Indeed, Host. This is a great opportunity. Make the most of it and use these new powers wisely. Good luck on the rest of your journey!"
