I woke to late afternoon light filtering through the infirmary windows, painting everything in shades of gold and amber. My body still ached, but it was a dull, manageable pain now rather than the sharp agony from before.
I yawned, stretching carefully, and scratched my head. The movement sent small twinges through my shoulders, reminding me I was still healing.
I should check my stats.
I pulled up the status window mentally—
And froze.

Hidden quest?
I stared at the notification, my mind struggling to process.
There was a quest? The whole time?
The system didn't mention it before.
I dismissed the notification and pulled up my full status:
