He extended his hand without much enthusiasm to select the Quest option from the menu.
And to his surprise, there was something.

"...Huh?"
Mark stared at the screen in silence.
'Eliminate or unify all semi-humans and demi-humans in the south of the continent.'
It wasn't a suggestion or a recommendation. It was a quest with an objective, reward, and penalty.
And that changed everything.
Because until that moment, he had been living in this world doing more or less whatever he felt like. Yes, he had problems and threats, but every decision he made was his own.
Going to the Demon Lord's dungeon was his decision. Traveling south was his decision. Whether to fight or not, to flee or to stay, everything had been his choice.
