Rat Quest (itch)

Every JRPG starts with a pointless starting quest to kill some rats before the hero goes on a world-saving adventure, but what is the quest to kill rats was what started their world saving adventure?

This is a short introductory chapter for a JRPG parody that started as a joke before turning into a major assignment for a narrative class. Be sure to talk to all NPCs a couple times to get all their interactions and be on the lookout for items to interact with!
