บท 100: An interesting mission.

Ark curiously scanned over the scroll in his hand. As he did, he almost wanted to laugh, was this some kind of joke? On top of the scroll was his next assigned mission. The mission was to save the hero Arduin from the hands of the Estridsen Kingdom and win some prestige for Torment of the Fallen. The plan was already set for him, all he had to do was follow it and use his abilities to their utmost.

To save the hero, Torment of the Fallen had gotten him a spot in an annual tournament that was held every year in the capital of Estridsen. The tournament's purpose was to scout recruits for the royal guards and the court magicians. It was only open to people who had yet to pass the age of 25, as they were still considered young enough. If Ark won the tournament, then he would be rewarded personally by the king, that was Ark's mission. Getting a reward from the king meant he would be granted access to the castle, which was his opportunity to secure his target.
