Once you have finished Novel 1, Chapter 2, in between the novel unlock dates as well as once the storyline is finished, you are able to complete daily quests in order to receive extra rewards.

The daily quests reset upon rollover, and you can take another quest again the following day.
If the quest you have taken is too difficult, you can pay a fee of 100 SB to take a different quest.

As the novels unlock, the quest rewards are improved and offer more for you and your leader.


Laharu peeks out of his den and greets you. "So, I think you could help me with a thing..."

Once you have helped Laharu, he will skulk away and hide until the next rollover.


Laharu isn't here. Or, maybe he is, but he's hiding very well. Either way, you should come back tomorrow.
