'So the 4 dominating forces would be the 4 novice villages, that was more dramatic than I thought it would be...'

I walked out of the main square towards the main village, there were many residents roaming the streets and its various shops. In Multiverse, each NPC was equipped with its own AI, so everyone is like each individual person, plus hundreds of billions of humans across the last 2000 years have taken home inside this world and are now assimilated into various forces across the universe.

This was one of the reasons that humanity had regressed back to monarchy with a Royal family, King Adler is B- Grade, one of the highest among humanity and belongs to one of the superpowers in the Multiverse, he and his legacy slowly managed to become the royal family just because of countless of lives that are extended by this technology.

I took a deep breath, several smells lingered in the surroundings as I continued towards the only village blacksmith, It was his shop in the village peripherals from where I bought my weapons.

*Ding* *Ding*

A blast of hot air hit my face as I stepped foot inside the old building, there was a counter on which a young boy was polishing weapons, there were countless weapons arranged on the walls and shelves, two lamps were placed on the corner of the room to provide light, along with a small door which was covered with flaps but still, hot air was leaking from the gap. This shop was a bit special, it was an instance shop as it was part of the main questline in the novice villages. No matter how many people enter here they would each have their individual encounters and conversations.

"Hello, sir what can I do for you!" The boy smiled politely, his emerald eyes shone.

"Hello kid, I'm new to your village and was looking for some work, can you tell me where the owner is or if he's busy I can come back later," I asked while looking at the various items on the counter, you can touch a weapon to look at its attributes unless it was hidden or a newly discovered treasure which would need to be appraised.

"Well dad is busy right now, but I guess he would appreciate any rare ores...oh! and he was muttering about needing claws of the night wolves from the snowy mountain!!" The kid's eyes shone as he replied with excitement and a notification popped in front of me.

[*Quest received*]

[Hidden Reward: Rare graded 1x weapon of the NightShadow set]

'...huh'

I expected the quest but beneath the quest, notification was additional information.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

'Is it because of my ability?'

I excitedly walked out of the smithy and walked towards the Apothecary, after another brief conversation and another quest notification appeared in front of me.

[*Quest received*]

[Gather the heart of the swamp bear(Uncommon)]

[Objective: To the south of the Olympus Village is the dreaded swamp home to the swamp bear. Kill and gather the heart of 20 swamp bears and return them to the old man in Olympus Apothecary.]

[Reward: 10x Uncommon grade HP potion]

[Hidden Objective: Gather the heart of the Swamp Bear King]

[Hidden Reward: Rare graded ring]

'Wow... will every quest reveal a hidden condition? or maybe these quests are special? or maybe because they are just uncommon grade...tch what do they want?'

"Hey, do you belong to any party? You are wearing light armor what's your class?" I heard a deep voice say from behind me.

I turn around to look back at a party of 3 people staring at me with a curious look, the kid that just voiced the question looked to be the leader, he had white hair and purple eyes and had a dagger strapped to his thigh.

'huh WTF?'

"No sorry I already have a party" I declined and gave the kid a weird look before moving away towards the village hall. The village hall was a three-floored building with the top floor being the mayor's room, anyone can go and meet with the mayor and he will give you the basic advice on the multiverse. The second floor was home to class progression mentors, there was one for each class and you need to talk to them when you want to upgrade your class after you reach a new grade. Also, you get one new skill for free from your class mentor every 10 levels.

The ground floor was the Adventure society's office who provide access to the majority of the quests in the region. Since my class was Archer type I arrived before a young man that looked to be in his 20's, he was wearing sturdy dark light armor and had some daggers strapped to his thighs. I felt his eyes flash with a golden glow.

"Oh! you're not a bad kid... What's your name?" the mentor asked with an excited gleam in his eyes.

"Grim" I answered.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad... you got recognized by our patron Lord Apollo, I have high hopes from you, my name's Mike, and I'm the archery mentor in the Olympus village. You here for your first class skills?"

"Yes, mentor Mike" I nodded.

"Good, good...########~~" He then started chanting in a different language and a golden light shined onto me and a notification appeared before me.

[Selecting Level 1 Class skill]

[Choose a card]

10 cards appeared before me, and like before 8 of those were revealed while two were hidden. I carefully looked at each of the cards but the idea of choosing one of the revealed cards was already thrown out of my head. I hesitated before choosing one of the hidden cards in front of me.

[Congratulations for gaining a Legendary skill [Eye of Apollo]]

While I was still getting through the shock of gaining a legendary skill another notification appeared in front of me...
