" You were heading in my direction. Do you have something to tell me?" Ivy asked. " Yes, Young Master. The Patriarch had ordered to check up on you and if you awoke, you should see him immediately. "the maid replied. " Ok, lead me to where my father is." On his way, Ivy couldn't stop being amazed by the view of his surroundings that he has lived in for Fifteen years now. Buildings of different shapes decorated in different colors and patterns put anyone who stares for too long in a trance. Bustling about, this early in the morning were maids who are busy the most. They littered the area going about their daily work. It took five minutes to get to the grand hall as the entire Sunshine abode was massive.
The Grand Hall itself looks like a giant magic artifact as large as 5000 square meters. Coincidentally, It is the largest building in the abode which seemed built for giants and covered in what seems like Ancient Runic writings. The materials and expertise used for such a massive structure wouldn't be small. Four guards manned the entrance to this colossal structure. Each was clad in Titanium armor from head to toe only leaving two small holes for the eyes and each emitted a suppressive aura which justify their presence. They held a bastard sword, a battle axe, a war hammer, and a spear respectively. Ivy stepped out of the mobile and headed straight to the entrance while the maid trailed behind him.
" Greetings, 9th young master. " They all saluted. " Is father inside?" Ivy asked acknowledging their presence. " The Patriarch is currently at a clan meeting with the elders in the Grand Hall. He has ordered your presence as well." the guard with the sword said.
Ivy entered the Grand Hall and he tried to inspect those figures inside. By the time he got close enough to view their status a crushing pressure assaulted his body making him immobile. He felt as if the whole world rested on his shoulder physically, mentally, and spiritually. He could hardly breathe as his knees felt weak almost buckling. A message entered his mind.

^DING^
The Host body is under extreme pressure. However, this has triggered a quest from the Legacy.
QUEST:
- Under no circumstances should the Host kneel.
REWARD:
????????
PENALTY:
DEATH
______________________________________________
This sudden quest was unbelievable. Not only did it come under crisis, the penalty for failure is death. Ivy mustered all his strength as he hadn't been this close to death before. Right after he thought he would die, the pressure suddenly disappeared like it was never there lasting only a second.
" Wonderful, amazing, brilliant. Now that is something I would like to feel happy about this morning. Hahaha," a loud masculine voice burst out in laughter as his voice resounded in the quiet hall. It belonged to none other than Kane, the Patriarch of the Sunshine Clan. " How are you feeling my son? Come, take your seat as you have made me proud," he said grinning ear to ear. Before Ivy could process what hell he had just passed through, he instinctively clasped his palms as he greeted " Good morning to father and the elders." he said his eyes seemed unfocused while his mind processed the message in front of him.

The Quest has been completed. The host shall receive his rewards.
REWARDS:
- INVENTORY (separate storage space for non-living items )

'Old man, why did I suddenly get a quest at this time? I had almost died there and then, you know.' Ivy screamed in his mind as he walked towards an empty seat and sat.
[ Unfortunately, I do not control the Legacy as I am but a Warden at most as even I can't predict how the Legacy works. But I am certain that the Legacy would never give you something you can't handle. You can rest assured. ] the Old man said apologetically.
'So, that's how it is. At least, a got the Inventory as a reward for effort.' Ivy said thoughtfully as he fully inspects everyone seated.
However, all the Elders seated had faces of terror as if they had encountered the 'King of Hell' himself. Ivy could swear that sweat covered their distinguish faces as their body subtly shivered. Unfortunately, he would never know the cause of such drastic expressions.
