"This task, it wasn't issued by me..."
In the Blood Eagle Corridor, Morphy listens to the autumn rain falling on the ground, using the strong perception capabilities of a vampire.
The sound of the rain and the clouds blocking the sunlight provided a comforting feeling, but the heart of the vampire lord wasn't calm at the moment.
That's because he had just discovered a task that hadn't been issued by him while retrieving the connection between the Core Bead and the lower-grade beads.
It was the profession-related "hidden task" that Meow Brother took on, but it wasn't issued by Morphy or any other NPC that wields a Calculating Pearl.
"Avalon..."
Morphy strokes the Core Bead.
A strong unease wells up in his heart at this moment. The little players think this is a game and that all tasks are produced by the system, but the truth isn't like that! The so-called "task system" is merely a blindfold that Morphy developed for them using the peculiar properties of the Calculating Pearl.
