Chapter 133: Spirit Bond

"So tell me what the heck are you!" I roared back at the Great Spirit of Harvest and Farming, as she looked at me with shock. Maybe I was being a bit too rough?

"R-Right, I have not properly introduced myself." She said. As we talked, I also noticed something, my friends were not able to see us talking, even more, it seemed as if they didn't noticed when I spoke to her either. It was weird, is it some effect like an illusion?

"Wait, before anything, how come nobody can see you except me? Are you really what you say you are or actually some kind of weird hallucination?" I wondered.

"What?! I feel ashamed and offended by such a stupid conclusion you've reached!" Said the Great Spirit, reprimanding me for nothing. "Of course I am real, foolish vessel! Sheesh, I really thought you were smarter."

"I am! Don't offend me like that I was just asking." I sighed.

"O-Okay, sorry. But to tell you the truth about my origins would be a bit too complicated. Especially because you're exactly not what I thought you would be!" She said.

"Huh? What do you mean?" I wondered.

"There are restrictions to what I can do or say as of now. Perhaps one of the big reasons being that you're not exactly an original inhabitant of this world, you're something odd." Said the Great Spirit. "Nonetheless, you're kind-hearted and rather good, so I guess it doesn't matter what you are."

"Well, they call us Players, the other people, I mean" I said. It felt slightly weird to introduce an NPC about the Players.

"Player? I see, so that's why you're so different from other natural inhabitants Well, due to this "Player" Title you possess. I am not capable to fully explain to you what I truly am, nor where I truly come from, even less the truth behind my current state. It seems that some power is sealing away me from saying that."

"A power?" I wondered.

Now this is odd, why would an NPC be restricted by something? Or maybe that's how Events works? After all Events are made that way, you slowly see through them and discover their secrets. The Moment she showed up, that event might had triggered, but nothing else had shown up since then-

Ding!

[The Special Event Quest [The Vessel of the Great Spirt of Harvest and Farming] has started!]

[As you've been seen as worthy of becoming a Vessel of the Great Spirit, you've now been chosen by her. However, after years of being in a slumber, the Great Spirit remains weak because Nature is dying. To help her regain her true powers, you must help nature spread out across the world, helping flourish the Forest of Beginnings and slowly expand across the empty grass plains is a priority, but any action you do that helps nature flourish can be taken into consideration to slowly help her regain her powers while discovering the knowledge she possess]

[New Special Mini Quests will be given in order as you complete them, slowly making the Great Spirit stronger as well. Currently, you've barely made it as her vessel, but you also must strengthen yourself to be able to bear the burden of her powers. Complete the Mini Quests in order to earn Spiritual Essence, which can be directly given to the Great Spirit. The Great Spirit Bond Level will rise as you give her more Spiritual Essence, strengthening your bond with her and granting you special Skills, Titles, Items, and Bonus Gold and EXP]

[Current Great Spirit Bond Level: 0] [Total Spiritual Essence: 0]

[Available Mini Quests (0/3)]

[Bond with the Great Spirit] [Reward: 10 SE]

[Defeat 20 Monsters with the Great Spirit's Aid] [Reward: 20 SE]

[Harvest 10 Healthy Crops with the Great Spirit's Aid] [Reward: 30 SE]

[By completing all three Mini Quests, you will acquire a Bonus of Spiritual Essence and other rewards]

W-What the heck is this? Is this a dating sim now? So there are mini quests regarding her! Well, that makes it simpler. But I wonder if other people got to have such handy stuff such as these mini quests though? Well, whatever's the case, the Great Spirit didn't seem to notice any of this, so I guess I'll have to ask for her help by myself so she can be cooperative With this, she might be able to regain her strength and also be able to tell me more about her past and origins.

"Yes, it is some sort of power that is not letting me remember things right." Sighed the Great Spirit.

Could this power be the System itself? Is it restricting her for some reason? Maybe she is way too strong for the game balance Well, as if [Revered Figure] wasn't an insane Title that granted me all the other Titles passives, boosting my Stats through the roof. Balance is quite wacky in this game. Maybe the combination of Farmer and Dryad was always amazing all this time! Well, not like they're that common as they're a new race and class.

"Well, it is alright for now, don't push yourself so hard. But can you introduce yourself to me better?" I wondered.

"Yes, I can remember that. I am the Great Spirit of Harvest and Farming. I once used to rule the land and nature. We Great Spirits are figures of reverence. It could be said that we were pillars of the world's elements. I was in a slumber after something I cannot quite remember well But after sensing your powers and your kind heart, which are essential to become my vessel, I quickly ran to your side! I simply couldn't miss the opportunity to get ahead of my siblings!" She said with a prideful voice.

"I-I see, I am glad for your help, it came in handy, but could you do more things that are not that Mana draining to me?" I wondered.

"Yes, I've figured out a few things myself in my time of meditation!"
