4...3...2...1...
PONK!
"Ah, what's going on?!"
I spotted the shopkeeper... wearing his pants again and talking to a client (maybe the one we scared off).
His gestures screamed he was complaining about something... me, maybe?
As I regained consciousness—w... what am I holding?... something hard.
THE KEY?!
A notification popped:
> Quest Completed!
> +50 XP = 101 XP
> Level 2 → 3
> You gained: [Teleport Potion]
> NEW SKILL UNLOCKED: Aquarine of the Lake
I ran to the shopkeeper.
"What's going on? Why'd you give me the key?!"
...
"Nah, thinking about it... I don't need that thing. Just take it, boy."
"But you've got to deal with the real owner."
"What?..Real Owner?! "
"Wait—it's not like I legally got it... Or did I?" Let me check the inventory
Inventory :
Copy-Book
Herb bottle
Old map
Key
Teleport Potion
"I really got it? How?
Let me break it down again—let me check the Quest History window.
QUESTS:

#4: Steal the Copybook
#5: Find the Key → [COMPLETED]
"Once I found it... the quest completed?!
...Ok , I just realized something important...
I'm a complete idiot.
Okay, I think that's it.
Before leaving, I'll keep this herb bottle in the key's place.
I know it's not enough to thank the shopkeeper, but.. The empty conflict completely distracted me from finding the key itself made it fair enough
But man, that time-out scared my butt out..
Feels like the system's making fun of me again
Okay .. time to get out from this shop and!
TIME TO OPEN THIS COPPY BOOK!
Oh man... finally
Inventory:
-> Copy-Book [Obtained]
-> Key [Obtained]
-> Old map
-> Teleport Potion
"TIME TO OPEN IT!!"
CRACK
A little dust puffed out of the copybook... I don't get it why's it so old in this world? It felt so heavy I thought a bug would crawl out for a moment...
...WHAAAAT?!
