Chapter 663 - 663 - New Objectives

'[Aiden, do not lose all hope. There is actually a way. A path that could save these creatures, and have them continue on living.]' Enya said, stopping as she could sense the turbulent emotions in Aiden's heart wreaking a storm.

Taking a moment to allow her host to process her words, she continued on.

'[There is a method that could indeed save every life. However…]' Her words trailed off at the end, she hesitated in speaking about it any further.

'What is it? If there is a way, no matter what, please tell me about it. I do not wish to see all these lives end so miserably. They deserve better!'

*Ding!*

Suddenly the familiar bell-like sound of a notification rang in Aiden's head. A new message has arrived, and when Aiden brought it up to his attention, he was surprised to see it was a new optional quest.

[New Optional Quest Received! - A world doomed…

Difficulty: A-S+

Objective: 

- Save the residents of this world, by contacting each of the four great tribes that reside underworld and converting them into accepting host as the basis of their new faith. 

- Once enough Faith has been gathered, a new [Mass Gate] will be available. Use it to transfer all residents to Haven and provide a habitable space for them to live in peace and prosperity.

Note: Not all residents of this world have any salvation left. Identify those that are too far gone in their own chaos, and focus on those that could still be guided.

Optional: ????

Reward: -Experience, Divinity, Faith, ????

Failure Condition: None

Penalty: None]

Aiden looked pleasantly surprised for the first time probably ever reading through a system prompted quest. 

Though this one was optional, and as such should not be forced upon the Host. It had no negatives to it, only an 'optional' route, an extra path he could decide to tackle, and his efforts should only be rewarded and not penalized for failing to achieve it.

The optional quest thus had no penalties or any sort of failure conditions. There was no time limit either but from a quick read through it was somewhat obvious that it could only be accomplished whilst he stayed in this world. Once he left, either by being forcefully booted by the same magic that brought him, or by some other means. 

Once he left, the optional quest, along with his only path to save them, would be forever gone.

'Was this your doing?' Reading the quest details through a couple of times before hitting on 'Accept', Aiden asked with a suspicious tone.

'[Yes, this was my doing, Aiden.]' Enya admitted, also explaining the long-winded text on the objectives. It basically gave a step by step guide on what he was supposed to be doing, also providing a warning at the end in a note. If the system itself would have generated it, the objectives wouldn't be as descriptive and for sure Aiden wouldn't see an extra comment in it. 

The system wasn't this nice and helpful after all.

Still, it was quite surprising, that the way of 'saving' these creatures would be basically subjugating them under his will. They would have to be converted into faithful followers and be turned into this new so-far exclusive to Haven, Faith generators. 

'How would this even work? As far as I understood, I cannot use Faith Energy outside of Haven. How could I accomplish something like that here, in another realm. This is not my domain…' Aiden asked, growing confused the more he pondered about it.

'[That is true for the time being only Aiden. Your divinity is something you possess. Faith, whilst it is currently only generated on the single realm you reside over, the one you created with the System, your power is not exclusive to it.]'

Enya explained, giving it a short pause before continuing.

'[Once you increase your understanding of your divinity, and grow more powerful, you will understand that the gift you have is much more than what you currently think. To accomplish HIS will, and be the savior, the saving grace that is needed. Your gift is much more powerful than you currently understand.

'My… gift? What gift are you talking about?' Aiden asked, confused at what Enya was suddenly referring to. 'Do you mean… the System?'

However, this time there was no response. Not sure if she just didn't want to say it, or if something wasn't allowing her to.

Her presence faded, abruptly ending their conversation. Perplexed by this, Aiden focused his attention on the buzzing sensation inside him, the mental channel that whilst he was silent, the rest of his minions used as an opportunity to get to know each other as well as just reunite.

He listened to it for a while, staying silent as he pondered the words of his system's guide. He looked at the optional quest's text time and again, to find more clues in it. He regurgitated the last statements Enya had proclaimed before her presence was pulled back.

In the end, he sighed, heaving a breath of heavy air, the baggage of his troubled thoughts.

'It seems, my journey here will be slightly longer than expected…' He sighed to himself, before focusing his attention back on the mental channel once again.

'Alright… I am glad that everyone is fine, and that you are getting to know each other. I promise that soon, sooner than you expect, you will all have a chance to meet, to see each other again. For you, the newly joined, I have made a promise to bring you and everyone to Haven, and I intend to keep that promise! Once we settle everything with the High Priest and this so-called Ancient One, I will bring everyone to Haven, where you can join the others, or even create a new settlement for yourselves only.' 

He then focused on the little, lone girl that was the closest but at the same time, the farthest from him.

'Galina, my dear. Please tell my sister that I am sure is staying right next to you, eagerly waiting for you to report back everything that I am fine. Also, I will not be joining you guys. I have to stay here, I have some matters to finish. Please tell her, as well as the others to not worry, I will be fine.'

He smiled, before ending the connection with one last sentence. 

'Stay safe, and be well in the meantime!'

As the connection ended, the group of now seven new minions around Aiden have slowly opened their eyes. A lot has happened in such short succession to each other, they were all rather overwhelmed. 

They barely had time to even begin understanding their new bodies, and now once again a great deal of shocking new information was unveiled before their mental eyes…

Their worries, their thoughts however were abruptly broken and all attention was brought back to reality when a cute, yawn reached their ears…
