Chapter 9: Hidden Quest completed
[You have completed the first hidden quest - Mobs Quest]
[The former soldiers and their generals were nothing but pests in Elias Deathwill's eyes. You have managed to kill them all and erase their presence in your early level stages!]
[You have gotten an additional reward!]
[Elias Deathwill's Swordsmanship(S)]
It had been roughly six days already.
In nearly a week, Alex found all the Skeleton Capitans. He defeated them in grand battles, then looted and soaked their experience. His Bone Swordsmanship's proficiency rose, increasing his familiarity with the undead weapons.
In his hands, the bone sword was stronger. Alex could bring out more of its damage. Furthermore, his Bone Swordsmanship worked well with [Shattering Thrust], allowing Alex to expose his enemies' bones faster.
Of course, he hadn't tested it yet because his opponents were mostly skeletons.
After he defeated the last Skeleton Capitan, Alex noticed the hidden quest. That hidden quest rewarded him with peculiar skill.
But the hidden quest itself was pleasing to the eye.
It erased the skeleton's presence around Deathwill's Castle. No more skeletons would spawn in the vicinity.
While it was great for one's peace of mind, the skeletons were a great source of experience. In the future, should Alex get more friends or NPCs to level up, he wouldn't be able to use the same method.
Nonetheless, it was more about the message.
After Alex had cleared those skeletons, a content smile spread on his face. He had a way to remove the monsters and turn this dark castle and land into a better environment, not only for himself but his wives too.
He checked other rewards from the hidden quest.
[Bone Seal(???) - You currently can not see through its information.]
Alex received a unique seal.
He threw it into his inventory since it didn't reveal any information. Back in the Deathwill Castle, he would store it in the treasury.
Now, onto the best reward.
[Elias Deathwill's Swordsmanship(S)]
"One-handed swordsmanship… Did he use his left hand for something else?" Alex pondered loudly as he read the information about the new passive skill.
This passive skill was ranked S, so it immediately became the best skill in Alex's hands. That skill allowed him to use any sword with one hand and bring out their strongest damage.
Even better, Alex could equip any sword, regardless of the level requirements. He still would face limitations depending on his status and environment, but it was still a terrifying skill.
'If I get my hands on the Dullahan King's sword, I won't need to look out for weapons for at least a few hundred levels… Am I exaggerating a little?' Alex chuckled.
He recalled the weapon's name he saw due to his relationship with Celia. That dullahan king's sword surely was a weapon for many levels as it was the legendary weapon.
Alex swore to work hard to get all treasuries.
And as excitement washed through him, Alex turned around to return to the castle. But as he did, he noticed that Sara and Celia were on their way toward him.
He approached them.
Celia was the first one to speak.
Holding her plush, she grinned, "You look so stupid, Alex!"
"I didn't choose this outfit, you know?" Alex replied with a sigh.
[The Capitan's Set!]
From head to toe, Alex wore general clothes. Since all of them were epic items dropped from the Skeleton Capitans, their appearances were close to intact. A few scratches could be seen around Alex's chest and arms.
But even without those scratches, Alex would look odd.
Those clothes didn't look good on him, and he also found them uncomfortable…
"So why do you wear them?" Celia asked, hugging her toy.
Alex took a deeper sigh, "Their stats are useful. I get a lot of HP, so I can focus more on strength and agility… Well, they also give charisma, but I think it has opposite effects on you two…"
It wasn't just Celia who found Alex's looks odd. Sara also laughed at him from time to time.
In the beginning, she wanted to hide it. However, Celia quickly exposed her mother's mood.
Ever since then, Sara kept looking at Alex with curved lips.
Even now, she extended her hand and fixed his hat.
The mood in the castle was much merrier now that Alex had appeared. Those clothes contributed to it a little, so Sara didn't want this magical time to disappear.
What was more important was that her daughter laughed way more. And so, if it was necessary, she would use all means to keep Alex wearing those clothes.
Celia extended her hand too, and she played with Alex's cheek, pulling them toward herself.
Alex stood motionless, letting these two enjoy themselves.
"At least Kubo is my ally," he jested, poking Celia's cheek with her toy.
Celia gasped, "When did you take him away?!"
"What do you mean? He joined my side on his own," Alex sneered widely.
As if it poked her little heart, Celia puffed her cheeks and thrashed in her mother's arms to snatch away her toy.
"Kubo can't move yet!" Celia shared a little of her dream.
Alex titled his head, "Yet? Hmm."
Celia didn't reply to him. She bit her lips and stared at him with tearful eyes. To such an adorable sight, Alex couldn't stay still.
He immediately gave her plush toy back.
After three of them played for a little, they all returned to Deathwill's Castle.

"It's been already a week… Shouldn't we look out for your sisters?" Alex asked after tasting Sara's dinner.
In a game world, food was much different.
It was also more unique in Deathwill's Castle as sisters hunted monsters for meat… They were heavily limited by their resources, but Sara's cooking was like a skill itself, and she did wonders in the kitchen.
Both Alex and Celia asked for seconds already.
As she returned with the plates, Sara replied, "I am not worried about Schnee, but we should look out for Stella."
Before Alex asked for more details, Celia stopped eating, and she raised her eyes, "I am going to be left alone again?"
Alex patted her head, "Just for a few hours. We will return with your aunt. Isn't it great? We will have more people to play hide and seek with."
Celia shook her head, "Schnee always bullies me in a hide and seek! And Stella never plays seriously with me!"
Celia shared a little about his other two wives' personalities in those two sentences. Alex's curiosity grew deeper.
He ruffled Celia's blue hair, "I will talk with them to play our game seriously. How dare they ignore the princess?"
"Am I a princess?" Celia's eyes twinkled.
Alex nodded a few times, "Of course. For their rude behavior, they must play hide and seek and tea party seriously with us for one week! That's your turn to bully them."
Celia grasped the spoon tightly and nodded decisively, "I will bully them!"
"Great," Alex laughed out loud.
He took his spoon and took a mouthful of Sara's soup.
[Your relationship with Sara Deathwill has risen significantly.]
Alex stopped eating and covertly took a glance at Sara.
She felt his eyes and smiled at him, "Interested in your other wives?"
And a change in the relationship was immediately noticeable. She never used the word 'wife' in Alex's presence.
But now, she was eager to talk about her sisters.
Alex jested, "Do they also bully you in a hide and seek?"
