'These are all skills huh... everything already explained, I can't wait to try them out, especially the Absorb skill," Riven smiled.

"This void space , this allows me store things I want to in a separate and near infinity space. Quite useful, and it shows items in grid form."

"I guess I'll leave it empty, it's not like I have belongings to put there anyway. Now the store.."

The quest tab had two sections, one for daily quests and another read accepted quests.

The accepted quests section was empty but the daily quests section had unattended quests there.

[Daily Quest]

Kill at least one monster (0/1)

50 push-ups (0/50)

50 sit-ups (0/50)

2km run (0/2)

Rewards:

+100exp

+50sp

+2 stat points

Consequences for failure: -1 all stats

'Hmm.. that's quite a punishment for failing to do this daily. Let's see what the store holds...'

Riven then opened the store tab and was shocked by the things he saw. Many high grade weapons places in tow, weapons that added to one's stats, full body armor with different effects and abilities.

There were other basic items like clothing and items like potions, mana and health recovery potions.

The system store seemed to be a store that had all items one could want to buy from any other place in the world, only stores could hardly exist in this monster overrun place.

The store had a different currency, store points, and Riven could see another tab in the store which wrote 'sell.'

"I'd have sold anything reasonable I had to get points, if I had anything valuable enough to be accepted by the store."

"I guess I have to wait and finish the daily quest then, I wonder what 50sp would be worth."

Closing the system interface, Riven decides to head into the forest areas to see what this world has in store for him until a ding sounded in his head and he system interface opened again.

[Quest has arrived]

Find a human shelter different from the one you just left

Quest rewards:

-100sp (System points)

-2 stat points

Consequences for failure: None

[Accept]-[Reject]

'Hm? A quest so soon? But how am I to find a new shelter around this place, it doesn't seem like there are others here.'

'Maybe I shouldn't enter the forest and find a clearing or a road instead? Or should I finish the daily quest?'

Riven accepted the quest and pondered what his next move would be when another ding resounded.

[New quest received]

Absorb an element from a person for the first time.

Quest timer: 24 hours

Quest rewards:

-500sp

-5 stat points

Consequences for failure: 50% stats de-buff for 72 hours

[Accept]-[Reject]

'Hmm? The system wants me to absorb someone's element in 24 hours. This is quite risky, I don't know how weak a 50% stat de-buff would make me.'

'I also don't know if I'd even be able to meet other humans in the time span, I think I should reject this.'

As Riven was about to reject the quest, another ding sounded and the interface changed.

[If the quest is accepted, a hint would be give to the host to enable him find other human's quicker.]

'Huh? Why does it seem like the system is eager for me to find and steal another human's affinity? Why yours it give me a hint?'

'Ah, I'm starting to think about this too much, when did I start thinking too much? Normally I would just follow whatever path shows up, and now I'm almost feeling like it would be bad for me to steal someone else's affinity.'

[Quest accepted]

[Time left-23:59:43]

'Who knows, maybe a 50% debut wouldn't be too bad, the reward seems good also,' Riven accepted the quest with the thought and waited for the hint the System would give him.

[Quest hint]

Return to the camp the previous group you were with ran away from

'Wait.. what? Why would I have to return to that place, I don't even know where it is. I was unconscious for most of the journey.'

Riven pondered some more, then realized complaining or wasting time would only make the quest harder to complete.

'Maybe I could go back to camp and ask them for directions? Yes, that'd be best, I can't just decide to wonder around aimlessly now that I have a place to go.'

'I think I should work on the daily quests first though, the 2km run and monster kill would have to wait.

Riven decided to focus on completing the daily quest first. He started by doing 50 push-ups and sit-ups, which didn't take much of his time.

After completing the tasks, he traced back his steps to the camp he just left.

'This is quite beneath me, but I have no choice as of now.'

Within minutes, Riven was back at the camp and was greeted with people standing guard.

He already knew they wouldn't let him in so he stood a distance away from them and said;

"I know you all don't want me here, but can you please get Daniel for me? I need to ask him a question."

The guards just stared at him apprehensively, showing no signs of moving.

"Did you not hear me? I said for you to let me see Daniel," Riven repeated, but they still didn't move.

'Seems they won't answer me. Should I just try to find the previous camp myself or I should try to force my way in?'

As riven pondered what he should do next, the dome opened and Daniel along with a group of people stepped out.

They seem surprised to see him again, and one of them asks, "Riven, what brings you back here? We thought you were gone for good."

Riven didn't answer but instead looked at Daniel.

"We were just about leaving to find a new location for the next camp. Is there anything that brought you back here, Riven?"
