Chapter 201: - Uncovering the Hero of Destiny
?
The celebration of Broken''s victory was still in full swing, with some revelers beginning to pass out from all the drinking. Among the most notorious party-goers was Trison, a member of the Ass Guild known for his unique ss, Rare - Drunken Healer. Trison drank the most and even danced clumsily, much to the delight of others.
"Let''s party until dawn, hahaha!" he cheered, plopping down at the table and offering a drink to Jovina.
"Get away from me, you stiff jerk," Jovina snapped, shoving him off the chair.
Goldrich, watching the scene, chuckled. "Look at that fool... Khi khi khi... He''s got a ss that makes him heal better the more he drinks."
Broken smiled at Goldrich''s remark.
Goldrich then posed a thoughtful question. "Do you think this game reads more than our physical bodies, giving us something rted to our personal lives?"
The others at the table listened closely. Jovina shot back, "Then why isn''t your ss something like Indecent Mage or Obscene Mage?"
Goldrich grinned. "Khi khi khi,e on, Sage Sorcerer suits wise ol'' me better."
One of the folks at the table was a man with ck hair dressed in white leather. He stood at about 1.7M (5.58ft) and looked like a martial artist. His name was Optimus, and he had the Rare - Grandmaster Flurry ss. He was also Trison''s teammate.
Optimus scoffed. "Trison is a useless partner. I''d be better off alone than with that idiot."
Goldrichughed heartily. "I think I''m the only one here with the best teammate," he said, ncing at Jovina.
"You old fool!" Jovina retorted. "If you think I''m the best partner, you''re the real idiot and the worst team partner for me!"
"Then tell me, Jovina, why do you have healer skills when your mouth is so poisonous?" Melliandra asked,ughing loudly along with everyone else in the room.
"Oh... Cute little Melliandra... Of course, because I''m someone who encourages and supports everyone around me," Jovina replied casually,ughing to herself.
Maylock couldn''t resist jumping in with his own jab. "More likely, you''re so bossy that you got the skill to enve those beasts, right, Jovina?"
"Ck... Shut up, or I''ll reveal all your dirty secrets in front of everyone, Maylock, you jerk," Jovina retorted.
Their exchange sent the table into fits ofughter.
While everyone was still indulging in the food and drinks at their respective tables, Broken seized the opportunity to find out more about the Ring of Fate, the ring given to him as the grand prize of the Dissidia Competition.
[The Ring of Fate]
[Grade: Epic]
[Durability: 95/100]
[Weight: 10]
[The Ring of Fate is a magical ring that chooses only the worthy to wield its power. Those fortunate enough to receive it unlock hidden potential, gaining extraordinary skills and abilities that provide an edge in any situation.]
[User Restriction: The ring can only be possessed by the Grand Winner of The Dissidia Kingdom''s triennialpetition event.]
The ring''s description was simple, listing only its Epic grade and the user requirement. Since he is qualified to use it, something interesting should happen when he puts it on, right? he thought to himself.
Broken quickly slid the ring onto his finger. A soft voice vibrated in his ears, clear despite the noisy tavern filled withughter and loud chatter. It was the same voice he remembered from his encounter with the spirit of King ndorr. Suddenly, a series of inscriptions appeared before him.
[Yo... This is King ndorr.]
[I hope you have read your history books and understand who I am.]
[Listen carefully, for this is of the utmost importance. I am sure you are the ideal candidate to undertake this great mission. As you have ess to this Ring, it is clear that you are the one destined to possess it.]
[I have a great reward for you, something so amazing that you could never have expected to inherit it. All I need to ask is for your help. Should you seed in the quests I have set before you, I will bestow upon you a very special reward.]
"So," Broken muttered under his breath, nodding slowly. "It seems the rewards from this Ringe in the form of quests for those deemed worthy. Clever enough."
However, King ndorr''s tone seemed a bit more enthusiastic... here? Very different from thezy demeanor he had when Broken first met him.
The inscriptions continued.
[In short, someone will be taking over my role, and he will be living in the same era as you. Your responsibility is to provide him with the support he needs to aplish his grand task.] "Eh?" Broken paused, his brow furrowing as he carefully pondered the text before him. "Why does this quest sound so simr to the one King ndorr assigned to me before?"
Suddenly, another set of notifications popped up, revealing a brand-new quest.
[The Faithful Supporter Quest 1 - Uncovering the Hero of Destiny]
[Rating: A]
[King ndorr has a mission for you: to seek out the individual fated to save the world! You will be provided with guidance and clues to find this person, and when you meet them, you''ll
know.

[Quest Failure: -]
He paused for a moment, ruminating on the quest''s description - "The Faithful Hero?" - before shaking his head in disbelief and eximing, "Don''t tell me!"
A notification suddenly appeared before him, further interrupting his contemtion. [Congrattions to Broken, whopleted the Quest ''Uncovering the Hero of Destiny'' faster
than a speeding bullet!]
[Because of this aplishment, his quest rating got upgraded. His heroic efforts not only boosted the quest rating to a whopping ''S'', but also earned him a bonus reward.]
[We may never know how he did it, and we may never understand, but we do know one thing -
The sure did it fast! Congrattions.]
[As a reward forpleting this quest, you will be granted 20 stat points.]
[Additionally, you will also be rewarded with an Epic Production ss Ticket.]
[To top it off, you will be gifted the rarest and most sought-after of all items: a Unique-grade
All You Need Ticket.]
Broken was so startled by the notification that he nearly spat out his drink.
"Oh, Broken..." Goldrich said with a smirk. "Don''t gulp like that if you''re not prepared. You really need to work on that, khi khi khi..."
Broken merely grinned at Goldrich''sment. Then, he turned his attention back to the notification in front of him.
"So... the quest wants me to find someone, and that someone is... me?" he muttered slowly.
"And I, by default,pleted this quest without lifting a finger? An A-rating quest that got upgraded to an S-rating quest?" He couldn''t help but chuckle to himself. "I bet Freya would be speechless if I told her about this."
He got 20 stat points and two intriguing items just waiting to be checked out. The names alone piqued his curiosity. Epic Production ss Ticket and All You Need Ticket?
He quickly examined the two items, eager to discover their potential.
