"It\'s much better than last time," I smiled at the concise information before clicking on the main quest

Difficulty: Hard!
Objective: Have 10,000 Points by the end of the Quest Time!
Time limit: 168 Hours!

\'So it\'s that kind of quest, huh?\' I sighed as I didn\'t think much about it. I was going to kill monsters anyway so this was beneficial for me in many ways. Though I doubt others would share the same sentiment.
Plus it was a week long too. Seems like I need to plan a long way ahead.

"…"
For a moment, I just stared blankly at the last quest. I already knew that people will start killing each other, but prompting them to do that?
My eyes looked at the white goblin in new disgust before I sighed. Seems like I need to watch my back even more while hunting now… can\'t even the closest associates either.

-Bring 1 Kg of Food in the Safe Zone!
-Bring 1 Liter of Water in the Safe Zone!

"Seems like it\'s quite thorough," I narrowed my eyes on the quests. Unlike the simpler quests before, this one seemed like a well-planned long term game. Though all this did not matter to me as much. Since what was going to increase my survival was the next panel.
[Hidden Quest!]

-Gulp!
Gulping, I looked at those quests blankly. Too much information. Just by these 4 quests, I got information that changed my perspective and plans by a huge margin.
Unlike before, I can\'t simply hunt and save… now I need to hurry up as well before someone else ends up finishing these quests.
And lastly… the [Unique Quest!]
[Tutorial Level 3 :Unique Quest: The one who rewrites the Apocalypse!
Difficulty: Epic!
Description: The Apocalypse has descended and the world is meeting its end. There is nothing that can prevent the world from dying. But what if there was a way to change that? To prevent the imminent end and a chance to overcome the impossible?
Objective: Change the ending of the Apocalypse!
Reward: ???]
I observed the [Quests] in front of me. From the start to the end, including the [Unique Quest!] and the [Daily Quests!].
Even though I had only 60… erm.. 55 minutes, I still gave about 25 minutes to read those quests and understand what kind of scenario we were given here.
\'At first, it just looks like a monster hunt. But then there is saving the people. There are safe zones, and a hidden story that screams monsters and heroes,\' that was the base if we ignore the [Unique Quest!].
\'Find the artifact, save the chief, kill the boss monster, find the doppleganger, don\'t kill your allies,\' I looked at various objectives of the Quests.
"It\'s like a multiple ending game."
And that was the conclusion that I reached at the end.
"So, how should I play this out?" I then asked myself this question.
Firstly, I need to kill the monsters. For that I would need 2 things, my stats and a weapon. I need to be careful with those first.

\'Since mental abilities are pretty much useless right now,\' I gave it a bit of thought before allocating 4 for agility, 4 for stamina and 4 strength, leaving 2 points in case of emergency.

I felt a sudden rise of energy in my body, as if I could break a wall with my bare hands. I tried punching the air a couple of times out of excitement, but paused after I saw what I was doing.
Anyways, it seems like, I would not need to worry about the monsters as long as I have a dependable weapon.
\'I should create one later using GM points,\' I decided that it would be best to leave that for that time.
"This solves the initial problem. The next is about saving the people," I gave it a bit of thought and concluded that the best way would be to increase my strength as I move forward with the quests.
The stronger I will be, the faster I will be able to save people. Plus with [Perception], I should be able to see through the safest path as well.
"About finding the artifact and saving the chief. I guess, it\'s only possible with more information."
And that concluded my thoughts on what I need to do now. I could use [GM Points!] for creating another skill that would help me in this situation, but then that would be overkill. I do need to save some GM Points for the [Gift!].
Moving on with that, I then looked at the [Bettings!]

After reading through the entire text twice, I found only two that suited best for my bet. Tempting as they all were, these were the only two I could control more or less, without showing off my powers.
[Minor Betting: Bet on the player with maximum [Safe Time]: 300 Points on (Adrian John Rodriguez)!]
[Growth Betting: Bet on the player with most Growth: 300 GM Points on (Adrian John Rodriguez)!]
[GM Points: 170!]
I sighed as I shook my head before waiting for the time to end. It was about time, we began the next level.
