Strong Enough to Fell a Giant, Stopped by a Bush

Rocco plays so many games he brings game logic into real life: he just downed a six-meter monster but gets blocked by one small bush — what games call a 'story gate'. All that power is useless until you accept the quest; he has to ask an NPC, hand over the right item, and only then is he 'allowed' to pass. Tau watches and comments deadpan.
