As Leo opened his eyes he did not feel pain, he did not see the street he was just on, Leo was back in his bedroom. In shock Leo immediately jumped up and started checking his body for Injures, with not a scratch on his body Leo couldn't help but wonder if it was all just a dream. After 5 minutes of thinking, Leo heard a knock on his door before he could respond his mom opened the door with tears in her eyes, as soon as she saw Leo her face shifted to be pure shock, "there was a car wreck next to the store, I...I..I thought you had died" she cries as she runs forward and wraps her arms around Leo, "I'm fine mom, I'm still here," Leo said in a gentle calm voice, "how are you still here, I heard you leave 10 minutes ago," Leo's mother asked still bawling her eyes out, still wanting to figure things out on his own Leo lied and told his mom he forgot his phone and came back. It took 5 minutes to calm down his mom but she finally left, with what he just heard from his mom it sounded like what happened to him was not a dream, but how could he be alive, how did he get back to his room, there were just too many questions, it was then that Leo realized he never checked if he still had his phone or if it was broken, Leo's phone was in his pocket like normal and seemed to be working fine but he saw one weird thing, an app he never downloaded called "Appworks". With all that has happened Leo wondered if this app had something to do with it, he decided that he should at least try to open the app and see what it does. Upon opening the app it showed a screen with just the word appworks and a strange logo that looked like a weird runic symbol, that screen switched to just said "welcome new player" with 3 buttons labeled "Status", "Quests" and "Inventory" out of curiosity Leo started by pressing status, the screen changed a strange list.

In a bout of curiosity Leo decides to expand the strength section of his quest.
>Experiment with your current Strength (Incomplete) (Compress)
(Learn the limits of your current strength (See what you can lift, how hard you hit Etc...))
"I wonder if this quest system actually has some way to track what I do?" Leo questioned, with this Leo decided to give it a test, The quest told him to learn his strength so he decided to try just lifting his mattress up, as his mattress was rather heavy he couldn't fully lift it but he could lift about half of it up.
"I guess my strength does seem a little lower than some other stats." Leo said in conclusion. Wanting to know if that worked Leo checked his apps quest menu.

Seeing this Leo realised that it seemed the app had a way to track his actions.

After looking at the explanation of the last 4 parts of the quest Leo figured that he could do Dexterity, Stamina, and Perception at the same time while going out to get his mom the milk she needed, again. Without wasting any more time Leo hopped out of bed and Started to head towards the store, this time on the way there he saw a crash site with police cars and an ambulance, trying to not get seen and recognised he took an extra minute to avoid the site. Before entering the store Leo decided this would be the best time to test his Dexterity and Stamina, Leo ran as fast as he could around the outside of the store allowing him to see that even with those stat numbers right now he is basically the same as he was, kinda fast with a low stamina. With those 2 stats figured out Leo went into the store to get the milk, after grabbing the milk Leo went to the register to pay for it as the lady at the register was ringing him up she asked.
"Hey weren't you here just half an hour ago for milk?"
"Yes but I dropped it when a crash happened down the road." He explained
"That's too bad, you know what? Call this carton on the house, it would suck to have to pay for milk twice." She said with a smile on her face.
After thanking the cashier Leo made his way home, once again avoiding the crash site Leo approached his house, to test out his perception Leo decided to see how far away from his house he could still read the address on the building. Once Leo walked back in the door he went straight for the kitchen to give his mom the milk, he stayed downstairs to eat dinner with his mom then returned to his room upstairs and pulled out his phone to check his quest.

Apon looking at the quest Leo realized that even though he had four parts done, the intelligence part still was only at 3/5 not 4/5, wanting to figure out more Leo went back to his status page to look at his stats.

Looking over his stats once more Leo realised that his HP and MP were just his Stamina and Intelligence multiplied by 10, and in the second he made that connection his phone buzzed with a notification that said (You have completed the quest "Learn The Stats Part 1")
