Chapter 7 Daily Quests

*PING!*

[Daily Quest has been issued]

'Hmm....? What is this about?' Mako thought as he felt intrigued and decide to check it out immediately by oping the System Interface using his mind.

'Open System Interface'

[Profile] ⓘ

[Quests] ⓘ (New!)

[Skills] ⓘ

[Inventory] ⓘ

[Shop] ⓘ

When Mako first opened the interface only the profile tab was available and the rest were greyed out, but now the quests and the skills tabs were unlocked. There was a red highlight next to the quests tab reading out 'New!', meaning there was something that was not seen yet similar to how the notifications worked.

Each tab still had the 'ⓘ' next to them which displayed more information about that said tab, so before he opened the quests tab; Mako decided to learn what each tab here represented.

[Profile] ⓘ

[The Profile Tabs display the user's current attributes in a quantifiable manner, as well as other information such as Health, EXP, and the user's current level. All current attributes have a purpose and explain one aspect of the user:-

[Strength: 2] ⓘ

[information locked]

More Information may be added as the user further grows.]

[Quests] ⓘ (New!)

[The Quests Tab displays the quests that have been issued by the system to help the user grow more powerful by giving rewards for each completed quest while there are penalties for failing quests too. There are four different types of quests available:-

1) Daily quests are quests that are issued daily and don't take long to complete while having average rewards.

2) Regular quests are quests that may have a real challenge and take longer to complete, but the rewards for them will be more than enough to compensate for the hardships the user faces.

3) Emergency quests are quests that are issued as a state of emergency for the user's own life or of those around him. It provides an incentive in the form of rewards to the user to perform his best in the face of danger.

4) Hidden quests are quests that are secretly issued to the user while the user is not informed at all about their existence. They are optional quests that provide the user with more rewards for doing things in a certain way that completes the quest.]

[Skills] ⓘ

[The skills tab displays all the skills that the user has currently in his arsenal, There are four different types of skills that the user can currently learn:-

1) Basic skills are skills that the user can learn without any source whatsoever, and the user just has to practice and refine them a whole lot.

2) Power skills are skills related to the type of ability you have, and can learn them through various sources.

3) Unique skills are skills that can't be learned but rather created by the user himself. These skills can only be performed by the user, and can't be taught to others. The key to creating unique skills is to combine already existing skills in a new or unique fashion.

4) Absolute skills are skills that are akin to finishers or final moves as they usually require a lot of energy to perform and are mostly the final moves that can be learned from a skillset.

Be informed that all skills, when first learned are at level 1, and can be continuously improved upon the more the user uses that particular skill. Also, skills are graded in tiers depending on their quality and rarity:-

F-Tier skills are shaded in a grey color and have very low attributes such as attack power or defensive strength etc.

E-Tier skills are shaded in green color and have low attributes such as attack power or defensive strength etc.

D-Tier skills are shaded in blue color and have good enough attributes such as attack power or defensive strength etc.

C-Tier skills are shaded in red color and have decent attributes such as attack power or defensive strength etc.

B-Tier skills are shaded in a purple color and have high attributes such as attack power or defensive strength etc.

A-Tier skills are shaded in a gold color and have very high attributes such as attack power or defensive strength etc.]

[Inventory] ⓘ

[The Inventory tab displays the unique feature of the system as it can store items for the user inside the system's personal space. More information can only be disclosed once the user has unlocked the inventory.]

[Shop] ⓘ

[The Shop tab is another unique feature of the system. As the name implies, the user can access the System's shop and perform purchases such as buying and selling different items. More information can only be disclosed once the user has unlocked the shop.]

Mako was shocked to see how important each tab was after reading the details about each of them. The inventory and shop tabs didn't explain much except their general purpose as they were still locked.

"How do I unlock the other tabs?" Mako asked subconsciously while still browsing over the information he was given.

[The inventory tab will be unlocked when the user reaches level 5, and the shop tab will be unlocked when the user reaches Level 10]

"Woah! Did you just answer what I was thinking about?" Mako was amazed, but this time there was no answer.

"It only replies to genuine questions about itself. Okay got it!" Mako acknowledged his realization as he finally proceeded to open the quests tab.

[Quests] ⓘ (New!)

[Daily Quests]

Task 1: Run 2000 meters.

Task 2: Do 50 Squats, Push-ups, Crunches, Lunges, and Jumping jacks each.

Task 3: Lift a total of 150 Kg.

[Reward: 50 EXP, 2 Attribute Points]

[Penalty: Hidden]

"Penalty? What is the penalty?" Mako asked but this time there wasn't a reply.

"Well, it's better if I don't find out what the penalty is the other way either," Mako said sarcastically as he closed the system interface and poured himself a bowl of cereal.

[10:17 AM]

Mako still had a lot of time left in the day and the daily quests didn't seem too hard, so he decide to do them right after finishing his breakfast. Since it was Saturday, Mako didn't have school, but he did have today's shift at the bakery.

"Sir Derek is not gonna let me hear the end of it." Mako realized as he took another spoonful of cereal.

Once done with his breakfast, Mako made his way outside to complete the first 2 tasks first. He started a light jog toward the forest and a meter suddenly appeared next to the first task.

[Task 1: Run 2000 meters. 0/2000 m]

It didn't make any sense since Mako was already jogging towards the forest when he soon realized his mistake.

"I have to run two entire kilometers..." Mako said lazily when he realized that his daily tasks were not going to be a walk in the park.

***************************

After 20 minutes Mako was back home from his run through the forest. He was currently laying on his kitchen floor gasping for air since Mako was not the athletic type; it took a toll on his body and lungs.

Mako did in fact travel for longer distances at a time on foot; however, those would be done while he was simply walking or slightly jogging. He couldn't maintain his actual sprint for too long and while he was running, he noticed that the system would only count the distance he traveled when he was running at his top speed.

This made him a lot more exhausted as he did a loop in the forest, stopping a couple of times to catch his breath.

It took some time for Mako to get on his feet again, and he went to his living room as there was enough room in there to do all the exercises that the system had told him to do.

The exercises were not that hard compared to the run as Mako still occasionally did them during P.E. sessions but never in this quantity so it was still difficult.

[2:30 PM]

Mako drank an entire liter of water in one go, as he was exhausted from all the exercises that the system made him do, but he was finally finished.

The last quest was also pretty simple once Mako got over the minor heart attack of thinking he had to lift 150 kilograms at once. The coffee table in Mako's living room was nice and light and was around 5.5 kg kilograms, so Mako only had to lift the table a total of 28 times.

After finishing his bottle of water, Mako cleaned the excess water around his lips with the palm of his hands and proceeded to open the system interface, as expected; There was a notification alert, and after opening it Mako received the rewards for completing his daily tasks.

[Task 1: Run 2000 meters. 2000/2000 m]

[Task 2: Do 50 Squats, Push-ups, Crunches, Lunges, and Jumping jacks each. 50/50]

[Task 3: Lift a total of 150 Kg. 150/150 kg]

[Tasks Completed]

[Rewards: +50 EXP, (2) Attributes Points]

'I wonder what attribute points are for?' Mako thought.

[Attribute Points can be used by the user to upgrade the value for any one of his attributes by one]

The system quenched his curiosity immediately with its reply. After Mako learned what they were for, a grin appeared on the front of his face as he spoke.

"Oh, this is going to be so gooood."
