"So you work for him now." Carter said as he eyed the mark that definitely wasn't on Dave the first time they met. "Yeah, but I didn't really get a choice, but it's better than my last job." Dave said as he grinned though Carter was anything but amused. "Jeez tough crowd." he mumbled before becoming serious, "I'm here to deliver a message, and to give you direction." he said as Carter snorted.
"I have a direction, getting revenge." he said but Dave just smiled, "Yes, but we both know that you're far to weak, and so you are being given the chance to get stronger." he said as Carter narrowed his eyes suspiciously, the last time he believed everything he was told, he lost everything 'Never again' "So what's the catch?" he asked after a moment. "Simple, you take over worlds in His name, and you get a corresponding gift to how strong that world was. Simple right?" he said grinning but Carter still glared at him, "Which worlds?" he asked and Dave's eyes gleamed.
"That's where the fun begins, see Bossman thought your system was still lacking so he tweaked somethings-" he stared but Carter interrupted furious "YOU SAID NO ONE COULD MESS WITH THAT!!" he roared as the heroes and Cathleen took a step back never having seen him so angry before as the students watched from their windows. "Dude, lower your voice. Plus what makes you think you could stop him?" Dave asked and Carter huffed though he knew Dave was right, he didn't know much about his grandfather but he did know that if he wanted to do something, nothing could stop him.
"So as I was saying, he updated your system and it looks like this." he said as he snapped his finger.

"Quests? He altered it to add quests?!" Carter asked, confused as Dave nodded excitedly. "Yeah, see he got bored plotting the end of everything and decided to watch you as you do your thing here, but he's really bored and is adding this to spice things up." he said as Carter sighed
"So let me get this straight, you showed up, crashing my birthday party, as well as putting most of the world into panic mode because you don't know how to hold in your own fucking power, just to tell me that I have to do side quests just because my grandfather was bored?" he said exasperated as Dave beamed up at him "Yep, ya got any cake left?" he asked and Carter sighed though he nodded and shrunk down back to human form. It was the least he could do for Dave not turning him over to his old boss the second he discovered who he was.
"Who is he, is he dangerous?" Cathleen and the other teachers demanded as they all followed Dave and Carter back upstairs, "Yes he is the most dangerous person on the planet as long as he's here, but he's harmless and just came with a message." he said "And to eat cake!!" Dave said in english as the elevator reached the right floor "Though you couldn't speak the language?" Carter asked as he sat down and wished he could drown instead of being here "I learn quick." Dave said before tearing into the cake with gusto.
As Dave ate cake Izuku, Katsumi and Ochako appeared, seemingly the only ones brave enough to appear after hearing the commotion outside. "Who's this guy?" Katsumi asked, pointing at Dave as he downed a bottle of water before starting back on the cake, "An acquaintance." Carter says as Izuku goes to talk with Toshinori who followed us in, Ochako follows him but not before giving Katsumi a pointed look. Seeing her do that Cathleen and Abby glare at him but Carter decided to ignore them. "So how will the side quests work?" he asked Dave, who snapped his fingers instead of answering.
[New side quest available!]
Side quest- A mothers desperation.
From: The Scarlet King
Reward: 5,000 System Points + "Mark of Red Mercy" Passive Buff + Scarlet Anchor
Danger: High
A mother has pledged her life, soul, and very existence to protect her only child from a world that seeks to destroy her. She prayed to the gods of her own world — Mim, the Dreaming Dragon, the Circle of Eyes — but was met with silence.
In the void left behind, I have heard her. I have answered.
You, — bearer of blood and fire, the walker between worlds — are chosen to carry her will across the threshold of fate.
Will you protect the girl purely? Or honor the power born of her desperation, letting despair birth something greater?
OBJECTIVES:
Protect Thorn from all harm — physical, spiritual, and mental — until the coming storm has passed.
Locate and investigate the ruins of Thorn's mother's last shrine.
Bind a Scarlet Anchor to let His influence take over.
Don't die
Carter looked at the screen and read it a few times before turning his attention back to Dave who has finished his cake and is now slumped across the couch full and satisfied. "Do I have to take this quest?" he asked and Dave shook his head, "Nope, but we both know you will." He was right, this was an opportunity to grow stronger and he would be stupid not to take it. "What makes this world so dangerous?" he asked and Dave was serious for a moment "Different laws, different gods, different rules that will be forced onto you." he said before going back to slumping.
As he weighed his options, Carter noticed but didn't react to Katsumi sitting beside him, SMACK he sure noticed when she hit him though. "What was that for?!" he snapped as she smacked him again. "Every time you start thinking too hard, things start to go wrong, so stop thinking too hard dumbass!" She half yelled as she gestured to Izuku, Ochako, Toshinori and other classmates who were slowly getting back up, looking very shaken though Cathleen, Dave and Katsumi seemed unaffected. "Same as the last two times." Katsumi shrugged as Carter turned back to Dave.
"How long will I be gone?" he asked Dave who wiggled his eyebrows at him "OH~ gonna miss the lady huh~" he teased making Katsumi blush ever so slightly, though Carter narrowed his eyes thoroughly unamused. "Depends on how long it takes before the girl can defend herself." Dave sighs at the young 'couple' as Carter feels an urge to rip his throat out. "Where are you going?" Cathleen spoke up for the first time in a while as Dave answered before he could.
"A different world, he's got to keep a little kid safe for a bit." he said as Cathleen then tried for the next five minutes to convince him not to go, John and Abby stayed silent already knowing how hard it was to change his mind though Toshinori and Momo of all people tried their best to reason with him. Finally after growing tired of hearing all the back and forth, Katsumi snapped "Are you going to die, or are you going to come back safe?" she yelled as everyone finally shut up, surprised at her outburst. "I will return, eventually." he said simply as he didn't know how bad the time dilation would be until he went there and returned. "Then go already so you can do whatever this fuckers asking of you and get back." she snapped 'get back to me' he heard faintly in her mind. Curious he peered inside and saw that she was worried about him? Though he knew she liked him, he didn't know why she would be worried.
He decided not to dwell on it however as he turned to Dave, "I'm ready." Dave got off the couch with a smile "Took you long enough." he snapped and a tearing sound echoed throughout the living room as a portal tore its way though, "A little gift before you go." Dave smirked as he snapped again.
[7.000 system points added]
Carter nodded and then stepped into the portal, ready to face whatever was on the other side.
