Angelo sat slouched in his chair, listlessly flicking stones at a dartboard.
FWICK!
THUD!
"Ooh! So close nyaa~ It nearly hit bulls-eye nyaa~"
Muning floats towards the dartboard and picks the stone back to his master.
"Hnn..."
Angelo continued flicking stones, ignoring the system notifications.

<< Flick Grade: E>>

Angelo stops before slumping in his chair.
Uugh...
<
He gave a mental middle finger towards the system. If it wasn't because he needed some range skills, he wouldn't have to tire himself out like this.
At least, Dexterity got raised by 1...
"Master! Now that you leveled up all your new skills to E grade nyaa~ why don't we look around the neighborhood to find some quests nyaa~"
"I don't wanna... I want to sleep" Angelo mumbled.
"Nyaa?! Master!" Muning whines as the little cat hover around his master.
Uugh... Don't think that it's easy to raise the skill grade. If I haven't used
It's been a long day and Angelo just wants to rest, unfortunately, the little cat got something else in mind.
Hmmph nyaa~ If you don't want to get up nyaa~ then don't blame me nyaa~ if I do this!
Muning floated in front him and before Angelo could protest-
Muning eyes turned large and wide, his button mouth wobbling as he gazed soulfully at his master.
<

Muning smiled in victory and spin around in triumph.
"Master let's go find some quest nyaa!"
"Ooh!"
-
A young man can be seen smiling dopily while walking around. Unknown by regular people, a floating cat is merrily flying beside this young man.
If a Gamer saw him, they can see that the young man is inflicted with a <
"Oh! Gelo, it's a surprise to see you out. What are you so happy about?"
The neighborhood uncle asked, looking at the silly young man before him.
Angelo quickly wiped away his silly smile and nodded to the elderly man.
"Nothing uncle, say... do you need any help with that?"
Angelo pointed at the heavy looking sack that he was dragging.
"Oh, this!"
The elderly man paused and stared pensively towards Angelo before giving a mischievous smile.
"Well--if you insist young man! Carry these sacks towards the empty lot there at the end of the road."
Sacks?
The elderly man pushed the gate open, revealing ten other sacks inside.
"I..."
Before Angelo could protest, the uncle eagerly clapped his back.
"I know I could count on you young man! I'm sure it's no big deal for you"
Suddenly a prompt appeared on his vision.
<< Carry the sacks towards the empty lot!
Sacks 0/11
Rewards: 20 EXP
10 Reputation points in Lila Homes
30 Reputation points to Arturo Gomez
Automatically accepted ( ✅) >>
F*ck!
"Oh! Yes, a quest nyaa~ Ahm... you can do it nyaa~"
Muning cheered while feeling sorry for his master.
He didn't know that they'll meet this kind of uncle outside.
Dread filled Angelo as he reluctantly hoists the sack, only to stumble.
What the f*ck's inside this thing?
He opened it and his face immediately became black.
Did this uncle raid a gym?
With another sigh, Angelo lifts the sack from the ledge. His arm muscles going taut while doing so.
"..."
He then drags it across the asphalt.
"Go master nyaa~ Go master nyaa~"
Heaving, Angelo rest for a bit before continuing.
Just a few meters left...
Angelo sigh in relief when he got to the empty lot. He lifted the sack towards the nearby tree and immediately a prompt appeared.
<< Carry the sacks towards the empty lot!
Sacks 1/11 >>
His face quickly gloomed when he remembers that he still need to drag ten more of this.
"Yosh nyaa! Just ten more nyaa~"
Unfortunately for Angelo, because of his <
Muning looks at his master's <
<< Charmed [ 00:14:29 ] >>
Oh no! nyaa~ << Charm >> will end even before finishing this quest nyaa~ at the rate master was going for this nyaa~...
"Let's go faster nyaa~ Yey-Oh! nyaa~"
"Ooh!"
-
Angelo is dragging his third sack when another prompt appeared.
<< Heavy-lifting skill acquired>>
<< Heavy-lifting gets EXP>>
Damn! These things so heavy, it f*cking gets me a new skill just dragging them.
Crouching on his knees, Angelo took a deep breath.
This quest is killing me...
"Master! Let's hurry up nyaa~"
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
Nyaa?!~ Oh no!
Muning began to worry frantically.
"Master! You can do it nyaa~"
"...ooh..."
-
<
"You okay there, young man? Here, drink some"
Uncle Arturo handed Angelo a glass of pineapple juice.
Angelo gratefully took it and quickly drunk it.
"Oh! You're half-way there, young man! Good job!'
<
Coughs...
"Ah..."
Angelo unconsciously smiled and some inexplicable warm feeling settled in his chest. With a new surge of energy, he continued his quest.
<< Heavy-lifting gets EXP >>
<< Strength + 1 >>
Meanwhile, Muning anxiously watches as the << Charmed >> status trickled down.
<< Charmed [ 00:05:54 ] >>
Nyaa...I still need some time to cast another << Charm >> again nyaa~ What to do nyaa~
Muning looks up and saw that his master is nowhere to be seen. Frantic, he immediately floats after him.
-
<< Carry the sacks towards the empty lot!
Sacks 7/11 >>
<< Charmed [00:00:01]>>
Oh! Just got in time to cast another << Charm >> nyaa~ My mp is ready nyaa~
<< Charmed [00:00:00] >>
"Don't f*cking think about it Muning"
Angelo grabbed Muning's head and squeeze it.
"NyaaaAaaoo!"
Muning tearfully looked at his master.
"You stupid cat! What do you think you're doing?"
Angelo squeezed Muning's cheeks as the cat cried woefully.
"I'm sorry master nyaa~ Huhu..."
"Besides, no need to charm me again. I'll finish the damn quest anyway"
"Nya?"
Angelo ignored Muning and continued his way back to get the remaining sacks.
-
"At last!"
Damn...it's exhausting!
<< Carry the sacks towards the empty lot!
Sacks 11/11 >>
<< Angelo Cruz gained 20 EXP >>
<< Angelo Cruz gained 10 Reputation points in Lila Homes>>
<< Angelo Cruz gained 30 Reputation points with Arturo Gomez >>
"Thanks a lot, young man! Here take this with you"
Uncle Arturo handed him a 1000 bill.
"Ah, no need uncle"
"No take it, it's just a small thing..."
"Ah...thanks uncle"
-
Angelo went back home with Muning sulking beside him.
"Hey, cat..."
"Master?"
"The higher the reputation, the more benefits I get right?"
"Yes nyaa~"
"Hmm..."
Muning stared confusedly at his master, but his master just ignored him.
<
"Nyaa? Don't ignore me again nyaa!"
Angelo continued ignoring Muning but deep inside, Angelo couldn't help but sweat coldly.
This damn cat is dangerous...I didn't know that I can get affected by his skill. If I don't have << Ignore >>, I wouldn't even know that I got affected.
He read the history log and saw that even at grade F, the skill still has some effects against a higher graded skill. Muning's charm is god-damned B grade after all. And this skill shortened its duration effect.
<< Ignore (F)
The ability to not respond at anything.
->Reject coercion and persuasion skills
->Resistance against mind-altering/controlling skills >>
Angelo used <
<< Ignore (F) Level 3 (42%)
The ability to not respond at anything.
->Reject coercion and persuasion skills
->Resistance against mind-altering/controlling skills
Grade level (F) > F+ , E completely ignores
Grade level (F) < E+, D 80% ignores
Grade level (F) < D+, C 50% ignores
Grade level (F) < C+ Shortens duration effects by 1%
Grade level (F) < B Shortens duration effects by 0.05%
Grade level (F) < A Shortens duration effects by 0.01%
Grade level (F) < S fails to ignore completely >>
Nice skill to have against mind-controlling skills but to level it? I guess I needed Muning for this one...
"Master, are you ready for tomorrow nyaa~? We will surely meet Gamers and subcontractors there nyaa~"
"Yeah..."
Speaking of them, I sure hope there's no PK'ing happening tomorrow.
Angelo put the 1000 bill in his inventory and took out a slingshot in it.
I sure hope I could grind in peace there...
