📖 Scar of Fortune
Chapter 6 — First Quest
Morning had come.
Veer slung his bag over his shoulder and stepped out with Aria floating beside him.
> Quest: Walk 4.5 km
Reward: ₹5 per step + 1 Point + 1 Skill Point
Veer frowned.
"Just walk? How is this supposed to be a challenge?"
But every step reminded him of the pain in his legs, the scar burning across his back, and the five-year-old fire of revenge still raging in his chest. Veer pushed himself harder with each stride.
Aria glided beside him, teasing lightly.
"Master Veer, remember… completing a quest isn't just about walking. You have to push your body. Not only will you earn money and points, but skills too."
For the first time, Veer realized this wasn't just a way to earn money—this system was testing his physical and mental limits.
2 km mark.
His legs ached, sweat poured down his face.
Aria didn't shout, didn't nag—her voice was calm, almost soft:
"Master… just one more step."
Veer closed his eyes, picturing the faces of his mother and father.
"I have to do this… for Asha's wedding, for Maa."
3.5 km mark.
The screen blinked:
> +₹20,445 transferred to bank
His heart raced. For the first time, he thought:
"It's real… I actually have control now."
Finally, at 4.5 km, the screen flashed loudly:
> Quest Complete!
Reward: 1 Point (₹1 Million) + 1 Skill Point
A new strength surged through Veer. He opened his eyes, looked at Aria, and smiled.
"Aria… this is just the beginning, right?"
Aria simply smiled back and blinked.
"Exactly, Master Veer. Your journey has only just begun."
That night, Veer checked his bank account for the first time after the quest. Every single rupee was there.
"The world… it's mine now," he whispered to himself.
