Erend, still seated in the military headquarters after the recent mission to capture foreign spies, let out a long sigh.
It seemed like he could never catch a break. Even after delegating the Main Quest to Eccar in the other world, he couldn't shake the lingering sense of worry. Because he was the one who wielded the System, only he could receive the updates and instructions regarding the Quest's progression. Eccar could only wait.
And now, things had just gotten a bit more complicated—not necessarily harder, but certainly more troublesome for him.
There was no real danger for Erend in this mission of catching spies. No amount of explosives or gunfire could harm him anymore. He had already faced things far worse than bullets.
What made this task frustrating was its nature, the network of spies they were after remained elusive. Locations were unclear, identities hidden. Which meant investigation. Time-consuming, tedious investigation.
