I scanned my eyes over the scrolls spread across the mission board, analyzing each one carefully. This was my first mission outside the tower, so I needed to choose something simple to test my armor and adapt to the outside world.
Most missions involved hunting creatures, protecting explorer acolytes, or exploring ruins, all with high danger levels. That wasn't what I was looking for right now.
That's when a specific scroll caught my attention.
["Mission: Ingredient Collection for an Alchemist"]
["Level: Moderate Reward: 5 magic crystals."]
["Description: Collect specific ingredients listed on the scroll and return."]
["Rank: Common."]
I picked up the scroll and quickly compared it to the other missions around it. The difference was absurd. Even simple hunting missions offered at least 40 magic crystals.
Five crystals just to leave the tower and risk my life in the middle of the forest?
Definitely not worth it.
