CLA.S.S NEUTRAL: Stranger Is Coming

Tragedy goes on. Restoration of Emmer's Honor. Alyrra's White Glow.

The awakening turned out to be really difficult and incredibly painful. I woke up on the bed in my forest house. I stood up abruptly and immediately regretted it, spitting out quite a lot of blood on the floor and having to sit back on the bed again.

I had blurred vision and severe pain throughout the body, and my nose and ears were bleeding for a while. Then I began to slowly feel better.

What the hell is going on here? I don't remember anything like this in players' reviews. No one spoke of such effects. I wanted to run through the forums, but it dawned on me: Nary may be in danger!

Plenty of messages emerged before my eyes, but I brushed them away without looking and rushed to the village. Paying no attention to the thicket, scratches and even the Hellish creatures crawling around, I ran forward.

There were no white flowers and crystal water, and the river and the oak seemed unremarkable.

I reached Oblivion in less than two hours. Ignoring the villagers, I rushed to the herbalist's house.

Oh, my God! The door was broken, and all the flowers were torn out or burned—as well as all the herbs. Everything was destroyed and overturned inside, and even the heater was covered with cracks. However, the pleasant aroma of kahrel soaked all around; it was so weird taking into account what had happened... I found Narylna in her laboratory.

The tormented girl was lying in a big pool of blood, and deep, bleeding wounds covered her body. Her dress was torn; the remains of the chamomile belt lay nearby.

The white petals of the flowers were covered with scarlet spots of blood. Plenty of empty flasks for healing potions lay nearby. I couldn't help crying. These freaks bullied her until they ran out of potions.

Why? Why have you done this to her? I fell to my knees beside Nary. My hands were shaking, and I didn't know what to do because I had no healing skills.

She looked at me and said in a low, barely audible voice, "Restore the honor of my family, please."

Quest 'Restoring the Emmers' Honor'

Description: The Emmers have always been famous for talented alchemists, but at one time several people died from the potions of Alyrra, though these potions had to heal them

She said that it was urgent to use 'White Glow'—a flower that she once saw in the forest—but nobody believed in its existence

The reputation of the whole family was ruined, and since then they were no longer trusted or talked to

Herbalist Narylna is mortally wounded, but she doesn't want to die until the honor of her family is restored. She suffers greatly

Terms: the last of the Emmers don't want to die until you restore the good name of her ancestors.

Help her and meet her request

Class: unique

Reward: you can take anything from Narylna's house

"I don't need a reward, Nary. I'll help you, but don't you die, do you hear me?"

"You aren't an ordinary stranger. I have never met such a good guy before." Her voice grew quieter with each word. She tried to smile. "Thank you, Alexey, for coming into my life and take…"

She could no longer speak, and her lips barely moved. Narylna tried to say something else, but she couldn't. I kept looking at her beautiful face.

Tears flowed down her cheeks, falling into a bloody puddle. I held her in my arms not knowing how to help her. Suddenly it dawned on me. Hope lit up in my soul brighter than the midday sun. I took Alyrra's White Glow out of my bag. I put the flower in my mouth, chewed it, and then kissed Nary.

I was waiting for a long time, but nothing happened. The girl's heart stopped beating. I howled, realizing my powerlessness and helplessness. Damned hope! I didn't know how much it could hurt when your sweetheart was dying. It hurt much more than when you learned about somebody's death after the fact.

I didn't know how long I sat there in the bloody pool, holding her in my arms. I cursed all the gods who didn't help her—even though they could have. I noticed that she had a flower in her hand, the same White Glow that I had given her, only now the flower was scarlet.

She didn't brew a potion with it. Why? It could have saved her life. Did she want to leave the flower as a memory? How can an AI do that? How? I refuse to believe that an AI is capable of it. She is more lively than many players.

Alyrra's White Glow which drank Narylna Emmer's blood

Description: The most valuable and the only gift in her life, which was presented to Narylna by her darling from another world. He loved her with all his heart, despite their short time together

He tried to save her, but... a blood-soaked flower only turned scarlet.

Remember Nary and your feelings, Stranger

Effects: ???

I put her on the bed and sat down. Messages emerged again, but I didn't read them. I wasn't interested in my new achievements. There was a scarlet flower in my hands; I kept looking at it for a long time, and then I made up my mind to go to the village and show the flower to the chief.

"Wait for me, Nary. I'll be back soon."
