"The streets feel less lively."
I whispered as I walked deeper through the Guild Street.
Several weeks had passed since the last time my feet stepped into Sunrise City. After the deal, I wanted to rest and think things through more carefully… but the system had other ideas.
In the middle of the night, a different notification appeared.
{ Remaining hidden quests: 9 }
{ To ascend to the second level of hidden quests, at least 6 quests must be successfully completed }
It was a normal notification. I had expected it ever since the hidden quests first appeared.
But the notification that followed was the real reason I was here.
{ Failure to succeed will result in the closure of hidden quests }
I didn't know whether "closure" meant losing this category of quests permanently… or merely a temporary lock that could later be reopened somehow.
Either way…
I wasn't prepared to gamble.
My steps stopped in front of one of the shops.
