[Do not worry and play well]

Adam's eyes gazed around the surrounding warily, 'I don't know, where I am.'

'It is quite annoying to always be wary around' His eyes looked up, there was a stary sky with a bright white big moon.

Trees were surrounding him, it was dark but not the kind of dark which he experienced in the trials of Erebus.

This was only a normal-looking forest and it was nighttime, so it was also normal darkness.

His stomach also grumbled, he broke some branches from the surrounding trees, and light up the fire.

There was plenty of meat in his inventory. He started to roast them and ate them.

The same window popped before him saying that his STR has increased by 0.26.

'There is no time waste, I have to get going after the snacks.'

Though no one will acknowledge it as snacks he claimed it, so what?

But, he can't move an inch, after eating his fill. Adam eventually climbed up a tree and slept for a few hours.

---

'The night is young, This is the best time to set of the journey.'

As Adam thought he started to walk up in the direction where the mountain was located.

The forest was very silent, he can't even spot a single soul.

Suddenly, a song passed through Adams's ears.

The silence makes it easy to pick out an unexpected sound ahead: music. Someone is playing the lute. The tune is cheerful and energetic, entirely incongruous.

Though Adam's divine compulsion makes it impossible to do much other than head straight for the mountain, the sound seems to be coming from a grove straight ahead.

He really had no choice but to investigate the source.

The lute grows louder as Adam hikes through another wooded area. Just before he reaches the source, the music ends. "Well? What did you think?" A silvery masculine voice asks.

There is a pause before a melodic female voice replies. "It wasn't bad. It is a very pleasant tune. But I'm not certain it's entirely fitting for the subject matter. This could still turn very grim indeed."

The man sighs.

"Must you be so negative? We've nearly reached the mountain."

"Soon this little task will be done, and we'll have whatever grand reward, the Twelve see fit to bestow on us."

'I don't recognize this 12 they are talking about, the scenario also mentioned '12'

'What is this 12?'

Though he still has many unanswered questions, this was the first trial, where he actually encountered NPCs.

So, he was a little suspicious and surprised.

He should have just headed to the mountain, but Curiosity compels him to press ahead and investigate.

Adam breaks into an open forest glade and lays eyes upon the source of the voices.

A handsome young man sits upon the stump of a felled tree, a finely crafted lute still held in his hands.

His long, flowing silver hair contrasts with his dark mahogany complexion.

He wears the bright and garish clothes of a travelling bard, complete with a ridiculously oversized hat decorated with numerous colourful feathers.

As striking as the man is, the woman seated on the felled log beside him commands attention even more easily.

Her hair, skin, and eyes are a rich metallic coppery colour, and she wears a flowing golden robe.

When Adam notices the faint glow of warm light around her, he wondered for a moment if this is really a girl or goddess.

'Though, she is little lesser compared to Ariana.'

The man is the first to notice Adam. A wide smile crosses his face as he stands, setting his lute down. "Ah! We have company, Callia."

As he said the name a new window popped up before Adam.

[You have encountered Callia]

[Callia is one of the muses, the seven daughters of Edurmon, God of Art and Creativity.]

'So, this the reason for her metallic colouration and faint divine aura.' as he thought Adam continues to read.

[You can learn something from her]

'I don't quite get it, the system never said anything like this, so far'

Adam's thinking didn't last long, he just assumed it will be an encouragement to players.

Then again, the man gives Adam a bright and friendly smile. He steps forward to offer his hand for a shake. "Allow me to introduce myself, Dannis Dylan."

"Musician, acrobat, and performer extraordinaire. No doubt you've heard of me."

The name was flashy, so his introduction but Adam don't know anything about him, so how could he heard about him.

"Might we have your name, friend?"

'Though he says, he is a famous performer, I will try to speak to him, to get intel'

Adam offers his hand out as he says his name.

"My name is Adam Crystal, sorry but, I don't heard of you"

"Huh, Is that so...but it's okay"

Dannis shakes Adam's hand firmly, his broad smile only widening further after Adam gave him, his name.

"Adam.What a very lovely name. It suits you." He winks, bowing as he steps back.

'To the hell with that, where it seems A.D.A.M like a lovely name, am I a girl or what he winks to me perhaps is he a g...gay'

As Adam smiled at the outside and thought weird things inside, there was someone, Who gazed at him warily.

It was callia, the daughter of Edurmon.

She watches all of this from a distance, looking a little warier than the musician.

It's hard not to keep looking at her.

Those with the divine spark seem to have a way of commanding attention, even when they aren't doing anything in particular.

'I should try to speak with her...maybe later'

After some consideration he decided to speak with her later, he also don't have any idea what she was thinking when looked at him warily.
