[Third Person POV],

[Impromptu Quest: Dragon's Revival],

[Quest: Stop the revival of the dragon by destroying its phantom],

[Reward will be given for completing the quest and the punishment for failure is death],

[Number Of Participants: 4],

.....

Ace couldn't help but gaze at the part of the primordial chronicle that said death a few more times while he read the content of the panel that suddenly materialised in front of him.

Other than the fact that a quest just arrived on its own without any explanation, such as being in a dungeon or whatever, Ace paid the most attention to the content of the quest.

In short, a dragon was going to be resurrected, and he just happened to get involved, and by the looks of things, he isn't the only human experiencing this.

Ace was unaware that while he wasn't the only person to receive the quest, another person also occurred to acquire two of them.

Andrew Dawn turned to face the rat queen while still gazing at the contents of both quests on the panel in front of him.

The darn rat was to blame! All of this could have been avoided if he had been able to calmly take what was his back, but the quest didn't really give him many choices, especially while it was promising something.

...

When they stated that there is a blessing in every calamity, the ancients certainly did not lie.

Whatever the case, Andrew Dawn was aware that something needed to be stopped, but it was easier said than done because the real issue wasn't the dragon's heart. The rats were still around, and the transformation that had begun to take place in them shortly after the quest had emerged was undoubtedly not good.

At least he was aware that it was bad news for him.

Apart from everyone else in the pit, Ace was the most relaxed because he could exit the den at any time.

He wasn't immovable like the others in the pit, and unlike them, he had no business with the dragon heart and couldn't have any business with it because of the contract he signed with Andrew Dawn.

The quest was also not forced on him. The quest was more of a voluntary one, but if he indicated through his actions that he was interested in participating, he was then obliged to finish it as he had already become involved.

The mutated rats that remained in the pit were the major thing keeping Ace from leaving.

He had just checked his job status and found that he had completed the fourth job requirement, leaving only the third to complete, and looking at the monsters in the den, there was more than enough to complete everything, but the quest had to arise out of nowhere.

His original plan was to leave this location as soon as he had killed the mutated rats that he had to kill and travel back to the alternate dimension. However, now that the quest had appeared, he wasn't sure if killing any more mutant rats would count as his intention to actually participate in the quest.

This was not excessive thinking on Ace's part because, if one looked in the direction of the Dragonheart, one could already make out the ghostly figure that was emerging from the dragon's heart. However, even though this ghostly presence had not yet solidified, it was not hard to determine how large the figure would be when it did.

Ace ignored the warnings in the Primordial Chronicle as a joke that they would die if they did not stop whatever was appearing right away before the dragon revived. The dragonheart's pressure, which was growing greater by the second, was more than enough to make it clear how risky this quest really is.

Because of this, Ace did not want to be involved in anything that might endanger his life. However, Ace could not deny that, in addition to wanting to kill more mutant rats in the pit, one of the reasons he was still here was because he was interested in the quest—or, more specifically, he was more interested in the rewards.

Ace had come in contact with two quests ever since the apocalypse began and the reward he got from the quests was so valuable that the less valuable reward was a rare-grade item.

It just goes to say that the quests themselves were valuable.

At least the ones he had encountered were valuable, but Ace was not delusional enough to believe he was strong enough to participate in the quest.

For one, the pressure that the dragon heart was emitting now had surpassed Andrew Dawn's and was still increasing.

If anything, Ace was sure that whatever was going to appear from the Dragonheart was going to be at least equal to Andrew Dawn in terms of power.

One should not forget the rat queen's existence and speaking of rats, it didn't take long for Ace and the other humans in the pit to notice a change occurring in the mutated rats.

Even Ace muttered when he noticed the change.

"Talk about a spike in difficulty"
