I ran into that myself quite a few times, the way to progress is to complete the quests in the orc village before leaving, u need to go to the inn, far left, then do any quests u can. Idk why it locks u out if you leave before this but just do it and u can access the rest of the game. Feel free to ask any more questions if u have any.
I don't know why but Veronica's Quest about getting the goods for the store doesn't work for me. I already collected those goods 2 times but still when I tried talking to Veronica in the morning, the quest doesn't even trigger for me to give her. And yes, I did also try giving her the goods at night.
You have to complete the quest in the orc village, its confusing but u need to do both the item store and inn lady quest parts before leaving, or else the game softlocks you out.
it takes a while but yes, the soonest one after is in the orc village where a male orc fucks bimbos. A little after that there is a scene with the mc and a female elf fighter. Might be more sooner but thats what I found.
