LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 4: Random Quest
The next day, Arima was lying on the couch,
He was staring at the ceiling mindlessly.
"Arima."
"Arima."
"Arima."
He was being called by Raevhen.
After a few seconds, Arima snapped back to consciousness.
"Arima, I've called you so many times, but you're just staring at the ceiling. I need you to pick up the rice."
"Sorry, I will be there quickly," Arima said.
His mind was floating as he thought about the skills he had acquired yesterday.
He hurried outside, picking up the rice one by one from the bag and placing it in the kitchen.
After he finished, Raevhen tried to instruct him again, but he had already disappeared.
"That little brat escaped again," she gritted her teeth.
Arima, on the other hand, was rushing across the field. He opened his status while he was far away from their house

He began again with squats, and his body quickly adapted, making it easier for him to keep up with the workout. He finished the tasks quickly.
Thanks to strength, "It's the best choice that I put my points there," he thought.

He tried to move, and his body felt lighter. He was slightly faster now. "It's good to have this," he thought, realizing he could now run when Raevhen called him to do something.
A moment later, before he closed the status, a random quest appeared on the screen
[YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN A RANDOM QUEST]
[DO YOU ACCEPT THIS QUEST?]
[YES / NO]
"What the hell is that? A random quest?" he muttered.
A minute passed as he debated whether to take the quest or not, wondering if it might be something dangerous.
He felt anxious about whether to take it, but after a moment, he decided to accept it. "Whatever it is, I accept it," he said.
Then, the details of the random quest appeared.
[KILLS USING A DUSK SLASH.]
[0/5]
[RANDOM REWARD WILL BE GIVEN]
He opened the details about Dusk Slash.
[Dusk Slash is a quick and powerful attack that uses dark energy to strengthen the user's weapon. When the user swings their weapon, it releases a dark energy that cuts through enemies with great force.]
"NANI!?" he exclaimed. ""I need to kill using Dusk Slash. And five times?!"
"I don't know if my body will still be alive if I use it just one time," he thought to himself, swallowing his fluid nervously. Because his body can't handle the great force of Dusk Slash, and it might even destroy his body.
"What should I do?" he thought, wondering if he could do it.
He tried to calm down to think about whether he would continue.
"Hmm, maybe I don't need to do it, right?" he thought, trying to deceive his mind, but...
He's anxious about it because the reward might be greater than the daily quest.
"Okay, okay, I will do it. I will try."
He picked up his wooden sword and went to the depths of the forest.
"Hmm," he thought, searching for a place where he could try his skills.
While he was walking, he heard footsteps and the sound of something eating grass. When he followed the noise, he saw five wild boars.
"Oh, what lucky," he murmured. He was inside the grass, hiding his presence so they wouldn't notice."
A moment later, his face became serious as he took a stance.
His wooden sword was at his waist, and his grip was on the handle. He then tried to focus on controlling the energy flowing within his sword.
A moment later, Dusk Slash appeared in the system.
[DUSK SLASH ACTIVATED]
The dark energy began to flow into his wooden sword, and the brown wood started to darken, coating it.
The force began to become uncontrollable, and Arima couldn't handle it. Before he could even release it, the boars noticed and began running toward him.
'Shit, shit, shit! I'm gonna die! Please, please cooperate with me!'
Just before the wild boars reached him, he swung his wooden sword, and the dark energy slashed through their bodies, cutting them in two.
Even the tree in front of him was cut down.
He was shocked by the power of it and he even imagined what it would be like if he were using a real sword.
"What a great skill," he murmured, his eyes dazzling at what he saw.
He smirked, and the status appeared.
[YOU'VE LEVELED UP]
[YOU'VE LEVELED UP]
[YOU'VE LEVELED UP]
A random box appeared in the screen
He pulled it out on the screen, and when he opened it, the box glowed before he saw it.
[YOU HAVE RECEIVED GOLD]
[YOU HAVE RECEIVED A MOONSHADE SWORD]
[YOU HAVE RECEIVED ADDITONAL EXP]
[+1000 GOLD]
"Shit, I knew it! My doubt didn't fail me." He's amazed by how many rewards he got from that quest. Even though it was hard, it was worth it for him.
Then he checked them one by one. His stats had doubled, and he leveled up.

"Fuck, fuck, what luck!" He's excited and thinking about where he could allocate his points in his stats.
He's tempted to allocate the points to Strength again to boost his brute force, such as wielding a sword. However, after a few minutes of deliberation, he decides to add them to Intelligence instead. He's worried about his future—he might face a clever enemy who could outsmart him, and he doesn't want to rely solely on brute strength.
"Here," pointing his finger at the stats.

"Great! Now, let's see the rewards," he said eagerly.
He checked first, the sword, where his eyes were immediately drawn to it.
"Let's see this sword," he said, pulling it out from the screen. He was amazed at how sharp and long it was.
[MOONSHADE BLADE] As the name displayed on the screen,
a blade that gleamed a silvery white, reflecting the moonlight even in the darkest places. As he checked it side by side, his eyes dazzled at how sharp it was. The shape of the blade resembled a pair of delicate wings.
"It's greeeeat!" he yelled in excitement, overwhelmed by how happy he was. "Now I can use a real sword, but for now, I want to rest," he said calmy, then looked for the other reward.
Then he scrolled through his stats, and he saw his gold had increased.
[+1000 GOLD]
A moment later, he noticed his body beginning to weaken, as if he could collapse at any moment. When he checked his stats, he saw that his fatigue had increased. His body had been pushed to a limit.

"How did the fatigue increase so significantly? It was just one attack, but my body is starting to give out," he muttered. Later, he used his gold to buy a potion from the system.
As he scrolled through the options, he chose the Healing Potion. He picked the Major Healing Potion because he was careful about his gold. Thanks to his decision to invest points in Intelligence, he couldn't just do whatever he wanted. He had to be cautious with every choice.
[50 Golds]
[Healing Potion (Minor)]
A simple, yet effective potion that heals a portion of the drinker's health. The bottle glows faintly with a soft, warm light, and its scent is soothing, like a blend of herbs and flowers.
Effect: Restores 50% of the user's total health.
[100 Golds]
[Healing Potion (Major)]
A more powerful version of the healing potion, this vial contains a rich, emerald-colored liquid. It has a slightly bitter taste but is highly effective in quickly restoring vitality.
Effect: Restores 50% of the user's total health.
[200 Golds]
[Healing Elixir]

Effect: Restores 75% of the user's total health and accelerates healing over the next hour (restores an additional 25% health over time).
He bought two Healing Potions, knowing he could use them at any moment. He drank one immediately, and his body began to glow. His vitality returned to a healthy state.
He was in good condition now, and all of his rewards were impressive. As he stared at them, another one appeared on his screen.
[YOU HAVE RECEIVED A KEY]
[-------------]
No description was provided for it, and he was curious about what it could be. He had no idea what it was for.
but he still accepted it because it might something special about this and he pull it out to screen then the key begin to glow.
