Quest Name: The Great Unburdening
Difficulty: Moderate Recommended Level: Any adventurer with a full bookshelf. Quest Giver: The Sage of Future Campaigns
You stand before the Shelf of Infinite Worlds, a monument to your past. Its foundations groan under the weight of concluded sagas and retired character sheets.
A strange feeling settles upon you. Your inventory feels… full. Your Carry Weight is at its maximum, leaving no room for new gear, new maps, new lore. You have become the guardian of a silent library, a dragon sleeping on a pile of gold it no longer spends.
Suddenly, a new quest appears on your character sheet, inscribed in ethereal, glowing ink:
Main Objective: Release the Sealed Adventures
Your mission, brave adventurer, is to undertake The Great Unburdening. You must carefully curate your hoard and release these powerful artifacts back into the world.
Quest Rewards:
- Achievement Unlocked: ‘Cleansed Hoard’: Free up critical inventory space in your domicile, granting a permanent +1 bonus to ‘Sanctuary Comfort’.
- New Questline Unlocked: With an empty space on your shelf and gold in your purse, you can now accept the quest for “The Next Great System” without penalty.
First Step:
Your quest begins not with a sword, but with a decision. Approach the Shelf of Infinite Worlds. Place a hand upon a tome whose story you have already told. Now, adventurer, you must be the Game Master for its destiny. Seek out the marketplaces and guilds (online forums, local game stores) where novice heroes gather, and offer them a portal to their own legend.
Your next adventure awaits. Will you answer the call?
