The World of SENSES: An Introvert's Journey as the Helper Begins.

Chapter 1

A player stood nervously at the west gate of Danem City. This city is the starting city in the middle area for players who have just started playing SENSES. This player has been standing in front of the gate for 1 hour, sweat trickling down his forehead as he watched a group of players stream past him, their laughter echoing in the crisp air. Another group of players walked towards the gate, then he tried to approach the player.

He mutters softly. "... can... group?"

Players who were heading out of the gate could not hear the words and continued to walk through the gate. A few minutes later two other players appeared and walked towards the gate again. This time the player who had been standing at the gate for a long time shouted to those two players.

"Excuse me...." he shouted, the words escaping his lips like a startled bird. The players continued, oblivious to his plea.

The two players stop and turn around. The player who shouted continued his speech but to soft compared to his previous shout. "...group."

One of the players answered. "What are you talking about?"

Then the player who started the conversation suddenly trembled. And instead of answering the question, he ran away from the gate and into the city streets.

"Hah...hah...hah."

The fleeing player gasped for breath and finally stopped in front of a building marked 'Meat Shop'. From inside the butcher shop was a big bald man, with large arm muscles, and a slightly bloated stomach while holding a butcher knife. Above the man's head was written Carnice, the name of the butcher's Non-Player Character (NPC).

With a pitiful face, the shop owner said to the player "Hey, Kin! Delivering meat again, are we?"

Kin forced a smile, his usual pitiful demeanor giving way to determination. "Yes, but—"

"Perfect! I need you to help me with deliveries." Carnice interrupted, handing Kin a list of addresses.

The man with ID Kin, who is of average height, has a pot belly, his face is mostly covered by bangs, and has acne scars on his cheeks and nose, can only laugh and nod. "Okay. You've made a list of customer addresses, right?"

A notification pops out in front of Kin.

[Quest delivering meat]

[Cranice is the owner of a butcher shop who has no other employees so he needs help to deliver meat to recipients according to the list provided by Carnice within a maximum of 1 day.

Quest success conditions: Meat is given to the recipient according to the list within 1 day.

Quest failure conditions: Meat failed to be given to the recipient according to the list within 1 day or meat was lost.

Quest success reward: relationship with Carnice +1, 500 experience, 1 gold.

Fine quest failure: relationship with Carnice -1.]

In the end, I still couldn't get out of this city and had to return to this quest. At least from this quest prize, I can level up.

Carnice gives a piece of paper to Kin."Yes, the customer list and addresses are already in there."

Upon receiving the list of the customer, it automatically made the quest from Carnice accepted by Kin. Then he lifted the bag containing the meat and started walking through the city of Danem.

It has been 3 years in the game world or 1.5 years in the real world. And Kin is still in the city of Danem. Because of that Kin has done this quest thousands of times, so Kin already memorized the quest route and the people who need to be met. Also, he knows other quests from other NPCs can be run simultaneously with the quests given by Carnice.
