They got to where Spiro had described to be the hidden entrance of the mountain. But they couldn't find the opening of the mountain. The secret opening of the mountain.
"Are you sure the entrance is here?" Vic asked Spiro, they couldn't find any opening that leads into the inside of the mountain.
"I only heard and see the description of this place in the stories my grandma reads to me before she died. I don't know if it is real or not, cause the storybook was made with magic and since I've been coming to the forest, I've never had the thought of coming near this place!" Spiro answered.
"That reminds me, what are you doing in the forest?" asked Vic, as he went over to sit on a large shattered rock.
"I came to hunt beast gems and crystals to make an active sword." he replied.
"Ohh, really! are you are a forger?!"
"Yeah, our whole family is, and that has been our bloodline occupation. It is a family job that my great, great grandfathers and grandmothers had been doing. Also, our generation and generations to come will be doing it."
"What if those next generations aren't meant for the Job?"
"Nonsense, it has been a family curse. And nothing can stop us from being a forger."
Vic was silent as he thought back to when he was with his human parents. He had thought that he would be the one to head the 'World All Abilities Company ' that his father and mother owns. A lot of people would often praise him by calling him the future leader of the world.
Many students envied him in school, and he often gets beaten by the older kids.
Everytime, he complains to his human parents. Until one day, his human father had called him and taught him how to fight and defend attacks from opponents.
Although the training wasn't much, he did know how to defend himself from oncoming attacks.
' I would have been in an army school if my human parents hadn't forsaken me and left me to join the students who are meant to go into commercial army school. ' Vic thought.
"So, won't you search for your friends anymore." Spiro asked
"I would, but it's getting late already. The forest ain't a good place to sleep in. There might be some beast rampaging the forest, and I won't like to fight beast in the darkness." Vic said this just to keep him off. He needs to complete the quest that the system gave him. Going back to the forest in search for Melody and the others is a very big mistake.
So, searching for them will wait, till he completes the quest.
"Care to join me?!" Spiro said as he presented a kind of, 'sweets packed inside a Nylon' , to him.
"What is this??" asked Vic.
"I call it dragon sweet. The others call it Mint but I don't like calling it that. It sounds dumber to it's appearance." Spiro explained.
"Dragon sweet! An amazing name, Let me see it." Vic requested and Spiro handed over the sweets.
"Hmmn, I like it." Vic said as he swallowed the sweets.
In one Nylon packed sweets, it contains 15 bars of sweets. That means if Vic wants to complete this quest, he needs four nylon packed sweets.
'Dragon Milk? Daily quest?? System are you sure about this? You didn't tell me what this dragon milk is?!'
The system said.
' Everything is just crazy. Let's just hope this guy has a lot to complete this Quest. ' thought Vic, ' But why am I not getting rewards, or is it expecting me to finish the quest first? '
Vic stood up and searched Spiro's bag in hopes of finding more Sweets Nylon.
"Hey, what are you doing. That's my backpack you're touching!" Spiro shouted.
"No, no, no don't spill the ink. It is expensive, I won't be able to make swords in two months if it spills!"
"Oh man, why are you doing this. You're gonna make me cry if it spills."
Vic checked the side of the bag ignoring all what Spiro had said. He saw the sweets and they were three in total.
"I'm not going to spill anything, I'm just searching for this. " Vic said as he showed Spiro the three Nylons of sweets that was in his hands.
"What are you going to do with these?"
"You're gonna see!" answered Vic.
' With the one in my hands I will complete the quest as soon as possible, I just hope it gives me a lot of rewards '
Vic unsealed the sealed nylon and Spiro was just wondering what Vic was about to do. Vic start pouring the sweets into his mouths.
"Hey, is this what you want to show me?! To watch you swallow my Sweets. That's the remnants of all the sweets, And I don't have anything else I could eat before we get back to the village." Spiro complained and stood up from where he was sitting. He went towards the water that was dripping out of the rock, to have a sip and to quench his thirst. After swallowing five bars of Dragon sweets, he was getting tired of it and was very thirsty
"I'm sorry but this has a budget. " Vic said to Spiro, and he swallowed the rest of the sweets.
In a second, Vic felt his stomach rumbling like a bomb that was exploding underground. And later, his head started aching and throbbing so much that he could not hear any sound. He held his heads as if it was going to disjoin from his body. After enduring so much Pain and wasn't able to withstand it, he let out a mighty cry.
"Argggggggggghhhhhhh!!"
"What happened, what's happening to you?!" Spiro who was having a quiet time sipping the water out of the rock rushed towards Vic as he heard him cry out.
