It was the quest to protect the seal. Though the old man was a drake himself, he had that kind of human body only! This is a fantasy world, so it's easy to attain! Also, his wife, Vivula was the same, so Xuan Xuan wasn't really that shocked.

A lot of races, a lot of beauties.

For now, let's focus on the quest itself.

The old man explained the quest with his own words, but Xuan Xuan and Falling Dance already had the system window reading his mind.

'If this is a real world, then the system is the most suspicious. This s.h.i.+t can read everything.'

Xuan Xuan was naturally wary of the second reality!

In short, the quest explained that red drakes are hoping to see the sun! They are doing their best to break the seal, but such thing would only lead them to their demise. The old man could tell that Xuan Xuan is not against the other races thanks to the fact that Xuan Xuan had seen through him!

He was sad that his own race is so naive!

However, in order to get a human form, the old man wasted a lot of his powers, so right now, he was not a strong 'monster' but a mere old man! Thus, Xuan Xuan and Falling Dance could easily see through him.

Red Scales Of The Red Drakes]

Red Drakes are hidden, so their scales are surely rare. Furthermore, they are lesser race of a dragon race, so for the current level, the red scales of this very race are going to be very useful once molted perfectly.

Xuan Xuan and Falling Dance accepted the quest and set off to protect the seal!

"Old man told us that there are few suspicious people moving around."

"Do you think these are players?"

"Yes. But there also can be some fire mages from the 'n.o.ble households'."

"Umu."

The two were looking around together. Xuan Xuan was naturally using this to speak as much as possible for with Falling Dance. It's way different compared to the private messages through the system in the game.

He also spoke that he is all good IRL!

Then, Xuan Xuan's eyes could spot Falling Dance's finger on his nose.

"Sorrry to disappoint you, but it would be better if we split up. We have that advantage of game system, so if you notice something suspicious, call me."

"Alright... You also must call me if you feel lonely."

"Sure, I will call you then."

-

"Master, did you enjoy your time with Falling Dance?"

"..."

"I have. Actually, she is still around as we are on the quest. Do you know the red drakes?"

Both of them were aware of a lot of races. Though Vivula had spent a lot time in loneliness, she had those books! And Ryuutem himself had gone around the world, but when he heard the red drakes name coming off from Xuan Xuan's mouth, his eyes lit up as if he had fire here.

"Red Drakes? Good s.h.i.+t!"

The small boi folded his arms and took a position of a small boss. The sneer soon bloomed on his face as he told Xuan Xuan that Red Drakes are valuable to him! They are the lesser race of the dragon race, so eating their scales not only gives him a good power, but also makes him stronger overall.

It's a matter of pride of the dragons.

"Right?"

"Yeah, good s.h.i.+t, small boi."

"Heh. I will f.u.c.k them up."

"But the old man wants to protect them, so this idea is out for now."

"What? I will kill this old man then!"

"No, you don't."

Xuan Xuan knew that the monsters with a special t.i.tles are like NPCs. In this case, they die for real. But their clansmen should resp.a.w.n and this is where Xuan Xuan is going to loot the red scales if he somehow finds a way to the undergrounds of the drakes.

'That's how it should be, right? I should check the split waterfalls... There was a ma.s.sacre, but some creatures should resp.a.w.n... Hidden village or not, they should... resp.a.w.n.'

The game became so harder as Xuan Xuan learnt about it being real.

'This is a curse of this world... The curse of the system.'

Xuan Xuan decided to call it a curse of the system. Maybe the 'monsters' are simply the replicas and the named red drakes are simply brainwashed... Anyway, Xuan Xuan just decided to go with the flow which was looking around.

There was also small ghost fox, but in her case, Xuan Xuan had to be careful.

She is that undead type after all. The players are surely going to aim for her once they spot the fluffy little fox floating around.

With his eyes around, peeking at Mia from time to time, Xuan Xuan and his party scoured throughout the whole outskirts of the volcano. The time could be only killed with few small talks.

Everyone hoped that they find something or at least their 'pet' will find something divine.

Then, the call from Falling Dance rang out!

"Looks like there are players aiming at the red drakes!"

They should have quest as well as this race is hidden pretty well!
