Chapter 1 - Suspicious App

Ring Ring Ring! 

In the silent room, there was a noise coming from the clock on the table beside the bed. The time on the clock was 06:00 AM. The body on top of the bed twitched in response to the ringing alarm. Slowly, a listless hand moved toward the clock and pressed the head of the watch which turned off the alarm and silence returned to the room.

"Ah, I don't want to wake up."

"I didn't even have enough of my beauty sleep."

"Why do schools even exist in the first place..."

The girl silently complained as she rubbed her sleepy eyes while slowly waking up. Her steps to the bathroom were slow and sluggish, yet before she knew it, she was already n.a.k.e.d and submerged in the bathtub filled with warm water.

"Ah~ This is a blessing."

The warm water filled her with happiness, and the sleepiness was wiped away by it as she enjoyed her warm bath. After 20 or so minutes passed, she left the bathroom while only wearing a bathrobe covering her whole body. She walked to the mirror before taking the hairdryer on top of the table as she turned it on and aimed it towards her wet hair.

10 minutes later...

"Sheila! Come eat your breakfast!"

"I'm coming, Mom!"

She shouted back at her mother downstairs as she picked up the bag near the table and checked everything one last time, making sure she didn't miss anything before leaving her bedroom.

Tap Tap Tap! 

When she arrived at the kitchen, she saw a mature figure wearing a pink apron putting the food on the dining table. She has a beautiful appearance filled with a slight youth on her smiling expression, doubtful that she was at the age of 3X. This is her mother.

"You're finally here, now hurry, go and wash your hands."

Her mother smiled and said to her when she noticed her appearance. She nodded at her mother's word and went to wash her hands before sitting at the dining table. It seems that her breakfast today is pancakes covered in honey.

"Yum! So delicious~."

Sara smiled at her daughter's flattering words as she watched the latter eating in relish.

"Don't just watch, you should eat too, Mom!"

"Yes, yes, I will."

She replied to back to her daughter as she followed up by eating. But the daughter finished first before the mother, and she swiftly washed her hands clean before standing in front of her.

"I'm leaving first, Mom!"

"Sure, go on. Watch out on your way to school okay?"

"Yes!"

***

On the way to school.

Ding!

"Hmm?"

Sheila put her right hand into her pocket and pulled out a smartphone from it. She unlocked her phone and checked out the notification, which was unbelievable, and there were none. Her eyebrows twitched, she was sure that she heard the sounds like that of notification coming from her phone and when she checked the surrounding, there was only her.

When she looked closer, she noticed a new icon beside the gallery app on the home screen. The image looks similar to something from an RPG game, and as far as she remembers, she didn't download any new game yesternight. She shrugged her shoulders before cl.i.c.k.i.n.g onto the icon.

『 Welcome to the Leveling System! 』

"What?"

She was left dumbfounded.

***

"***!"

"S**ila!"

"Sheila!"

The absentminded girl finally gives responded to the girl calling her name in front of her. The expression on her face was filled with worry, and perhaps it was because she has been absentmindedly ever since she walked into the class. The girl in front of her, her best friend, has called out to her many times, yet she didn't give any response and quietly walked and sit on her desk before staring at the air.

"Are you okay? You have been staring at the air for a while now..."

"I-I'm fine."

"Really?"

"Yes, Of course! I was thinking about something."

Ria stares at the girl in front of her. Sheila looked away when she tried to look into her eyes. She was hiding something. But since she doesn't want to talk about it, she will also keep her silence as she let out a sigh before sitting on her place, which is to the right of Sheila's.

Sheila quietly let out a sigh of relief. Thankfully, her best friend didn't insist on it, or she might not know how to tell about it. Even if she did, would Ria believe in her nonsense story? She was sure that the girl would think she was sick and tried to get her a check-up. At least, she has to make sure that everything is real and gather more information about it before having the courage to tell her secret to others.

She looked around her surroundings, and when she was sure that none was looking at her, she brings out the phone. When she saw that the icon was still there, her breathing becomes heavy. Calm down! I need to take a deep breath. One, Two... Phew~

Looking at the screen, it appears that only two functions are unlocked, which was <Host Status> and <Quest>.
