Chapter 4: CHAPTER 4 – The first quest.

It was approximately noon when Alex received the quest and the quest was about someone he knew very well, or at least the previous 'he' knew her very well.

When Alex still lived in the orphanage, he had a girl he had a large crush on. If we were to use the right word, then it would be that he was a simp for her, it was so bad that if she said that she loved him and asked him to die for her, then he might do just that.

During his time at the orphanage, Alex was treated differently by everyone - some were scared, some were jealous, some hated him, and some loved him, among others.

However, there was one girl who stood out; she never cared about others' opinions and treated him like a brother. Whenever he was alone, she would come and sit by his side, reassuring him that she would protect him from anyone, even if he didn't need her help.

She played a significant role in ensuring he was not bullied at the orphanage, as she became an S-rank Raider when the Gates appeared five years ago.

From his childhood to the present, Alex has never experienced a true friendship. Therefore, when he found someone who treated him kindly, he began to develop feelings for her. However, he struggled with expressing these emotions, as she was the first person he had ever loved.

Five years ago, when the Gates appeared, the said girl awakened her power she turned out to have very strong power along with being an S-ranked Raider.

This was the reason why, upon opening her guild and assuming the role of guild master in a guild that is now one of the top-ranking guilds in Orange Country, she had very little time to visit the orphanage due to her newfound fame.

During her interview one day, the host inquired if she had someone she loved, to which she responded affirmatively. This revelation made Alex somewhat nervous.

However, the host then broke out of her surprise and asked the girl for the name of the person she loved, to which she replied, "His name is Alex."

Upon hearing her words, Alex was initially overwhelmed with happiness to the point of feeling like crying. However, this joy was short-lived as she introduced him as her little brother, given that he was a year younger than her.

With this realization sinking in, he understood that she never viewed him as a man, but rather as her brother. Despite this revelation, he still harboured thoughts of confessing his feelings to her when they next met.

Unfortunately, a fragment of his remaining determination shattered when the host of the show inquired about the type of man the girl would consider dating.

Even though the intense love he felt for the previous one had faded, indicating that he did not love her as deeply as before, he still had feelings for her. He also recognized her high potential, as he could easily sense people's potential, although he did not know why.

'Are all the quests like this?' He asked Sophia after deciding he would try not to harm her. He hoped she wouldn't react harshly, but he understood that her care for Alex made it unlikely.

[No, this is your first quest and that is why it's like that. Some quests give you a single task, some give you multiple tasks, some give you task/s along with a bonus task and some tasks might be a simple task such as moving a single step.

The rewards also vary according to the quests and this one has a high reward because it is a mental quest and also your first quest.]

"I see, so quests that are not related to physical fights or movements are more rewarding. Is that correct?" Alex inquired, demonstrating his understanding of the concept.

[Yes.] Sophia replied simply while also harbouring curiosity about how he would tackle this particular quest.

Despite their undisclosed relationship thus far, Sophia had been present with him in all his past lives and was aware that in each life, he had at least two to three women.

Alex understood that Sophia was not the one who assigned him the quest, nor did she have any control over the system.

She was simply a spirit who could assist him, akin to a receptionist at a shop. Consequently, he refrained from bombarding her with numerous questions.
