Finally, I understood what my quest for the next rank was really about. The first time I saw it, I had no idea what the hell it was even saying. And after grasping its meaning now, I knew better than to mention it, even to the emperor.
—--------------------------------
[Transcendence Quest Unveiled]
The Dawn stirs.
Yet a spark cannot awaken without a flame.
Within you lies the Core that longs for revival.
Beyond lies the heart of another world, pulsing with stolen breath.
To ascend, you must decide:
Will you devour what sustains another, or let the Dawn remain a husk?
Objective: Awaken the Dawn Core by feeding it a World Core.
Progression: 0/1

I had received this quest long before my talent ever upgraded, which meant the System knew exactly what it was doing. Maybe it had already decided my path, or maybe it had seen what was going to happen and gave the quest ahead of time. Either way, it felt deliberate, not random.
