One evening, while Arlen reviewed new quests at the guild, a familiar blue window suddenly appeared before his eyes—this time tinged with a shadowy aura:
[System Quest: Legacy of the Shadow Seekers]
Objective: Conquer the Forgotten Labyrinth beneath Rivenford. Overcome its guardians and reach the heart of the maze.
Reward: Unlock "Beginner Magic of the Shadow Seekers" — unique spells and techniques lost to history.
Failure Penalty: System lockout of Shadow Seeker skills for 30 days.
Description: The Forgotten Labyrinth is an ancient ruin rumored to have ties to the vanished Shadow Seekers. Many have entered, but few have returned. Only one who combines sword, spell, and wit can hope to succeed. Seek the hidden sigils, overcome the darkness, and claim your legacy.
Arlen's heart pounded with anticipation and anxiety. This was no ordinary guild quest—it was a test from the System itself, directly tied to the deeper mysteries of his destiny. Succeed, and he would gain abilities no one else in this world possessed. Fail, and he would lose his greatest advantage for a month.
With resolve steeling his nerves, Arlen gathered his gear, made preparations, and reviewed what he knew of labyrinths. The time had come to step into the shadows and embrace the challenge his fate had set before him.
