[You have taken the [Tier 1 Domain Quest: Plant Trees]!]
[To take care of your new Domain, it is necessary to expand it, especially for a Domain of the Nature and Life-type. For that very reason, you must plant new trees to continue strengthening it.]
[The Trees you plant must be of this world and cannot be created using any type of Magic.]
[Quest Condition]: [Plant 30 Trees]
[Quest Duration]: [30 Days]
[Quest Rewards]: [Strengthening of your Domain by +10%] [Spirit Crystal Coins] x100 [Domain Shop Open]
The Quest information appeared within the materialized paper, and once I materialized it, the entire thing started right away.
It was like a mini quest from BNLO, but… in real life- I mean, in Earth. Yeah, BNLO is also real life but just another World.
The quest reward seemed to be related with helping my Domain grow stronger… I assume a +100% strengthening makes it rise to the next Tier, right?
And then there's this new currency, Spirit Crystal Coins, and also Domain Shop? So there's a shop where I can use the coins?
So gamey… Was my Domain somehow affected by my Avatar, which caused these strange abilities to emerge?
"This is crazy! How come this is a real thing?" The Great Spirit was still processing what was happening. "You got a quest? Wait, there's two more too!"
"Hey, what's going on now?" Elena wondered, walking in.
"Your mother is insane, Elena! That's what happening!" The Great Spirit said angrily.
"Eh?" Elena was confused.
"Why are you so angry?" I sighed. "Shouldn't you be happy your Vessel is getting unique abilities?"
"I… Yeah, I'm just being irrationally jealous." She sighed. "And perhaps a bit perplexed too. This is something weird too, it means that you're somehow harnessing the power of the System to an extent. Could it be thanks to your Inventory and Pathway Abilities? Both of those connect you permanently to Arcadia even more, and are overpowered abilities given to you by the Gods…"
"Maybe…" I wondered. "But more importantly, I'll pick the other Quests to see what they're about!"
I quickly picked the other two while I was at it. My daughter looked at the manifestation of my abilities with a bit of surprise, but not as shocked as the Great Spirit.
Meanwhile, Monica was vibing with the garden's plants, who were letting her caress them.
[You have taken the [Tier 1 Domain Quest: Spirit Enhancement]!]
[To take care of a Domain that is related with Nature, you must continue pursuing the way of plants.]
[Now that you're familiar with them, how about you help some not so fortunate plants to join your Spiritual Plants?]
[The More Spiritual Plants you possess within your Domain, the stronger the Domain will grow.]
[Quest Condition]: [Evolve 50 Normal Plants into Spiritual Plants]
[Quest Duration]: [30 Days]
[Quest Rewards]: [Strengthening of your Domain by +10%] [Spirit Crystal Coins] x100 [Mystery Seed] x1]
[You have taken the [Tier 1 Domain Quest: Domain Sacrifice]!]
[A Domain of Nature and Life requires new nutrients to grow stronger. Simply giving them your Mana and Spiritual Energy is not enough.]
[Therefore, you must sacrifice fresh life force from another living being for your Domain to prosper and for your Spirit Plants to gain nutrients to grow bigger and healthier.]
[Quest Condition]: [Bury 30 Monster Corpses Within Your Domain.]
[Quest Duration]: [30 Days]
[Quest Rewards]: [Strengthening of your Domain by +10%] [Spirit Crystal Coins] x100 [Mystery Seed] x1]
Both quests were rather interesting, and they seemed easy enough. I think the later can also be done if I go to some place where monsters roam in Earth.
Maybe the outskirts of the city? The animals there must have mutated somewhere, I believe. It would also be a nice excuse to go out and stretch our legs a little bit.
Also, these Mystery Seeds are rather mysterious… Well, I guess it is part of the mystery of the "Forest of Secrets" or whatever.
With that said and done, it would be nice to go find some tree saplings, and I do happen to be a good friend of someone that owns a gardening and plants shop.
"How about we go to check on Lily first? I need some plants from her." I said. "Elena, Monica, you up? I know you're going out later today, but it still quite early. We also gotta go to the gym later."
"Sure." My daughter nodded.
"I-I don't mind." Monica agreed quite quickly.
"Alright! Then let's go!"
With high spirits, I quickly changed clothes and went to visit Lily to pick her for the gym. In the way, we meet little Blackie, who had just come back from patrolling the area.
He seemed confused about why everything seemed to have changed slightly, I don't know if he could understand human words, but once I told him it was my new Domain, the black cat accepted it quite easily.
And he was now following us while meowing, most likely wanting some treats.
"Okay, okay, I've got some here…"
I quickly took a small cat treat from my inventory, which I always had available.
He quickly started devouring it, and asked for more and more…
Once we arrived at Lily's residence, he had already eaten like over ten treats! This little kitty's stomach is bottomless.
"Oh, Elayne and her daughter! Oh, and her daughter's friend!" Lily greeted us with a gentle smile. "Welcome! I usually open the shop much later, thanks to the online pages I made for it, more people have managed to find it and now I sell quite well! My Ability also helps me grow the seeds quite easily."
"Then you're ideal for the little job I need you for." I smiled.
"Little job?" She was slightly confused.
Like that, I explained her I needed 30 seeds of any tree she had, and if she could turn them into saplings using her Special Skill.
Because it wasn't made by me but by somebody else, it didn't count as mine, so I think that would work too!
"There you go! I just happened to have a lot of fruit tree seeds." She giggled, giving me thirty pots with growing saplings.
"That'll be 300 Canadian Dollars." She said with a gentle smile.
"R-Right, here." I paid her and put the plants inside my shadows with Blackie's help.
