Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 Learning the System

[Welcome to the Beta Test]

Suddenly a new message popped up

[Select a preferable time period]

"..."

"What does a time period have to do with Systems" Alex thought

[Select a preferable time period]

"I have no idea what this could be"

"A timer, a death countdown, end of the world"

"Wait why would I care about stuff like that It'll be five no four months" He thought

[Time period selected] [Four months until the next system users awaken]

"..."

"And I thought it was a death countdown" "Wait what there will be more Systems" Alex panicked as the thought of him being replaced reminded him of his workplace

Ding [Correct]

"So it can answer questions" He thought

Ding [Correct]

"I'll forget about it for now" Alex hoped

"..."

"Open status window"

"Wait System why aren't all my stats all 10"

Ding [Body and Mind aren't at level 10]

"..."

"So, no free stats" He sneered

Ding [Correct]

"..."

"System how do I raise my stats" Alex questioned

Ding "Stat points located in the top-right corner of the status menu, can be raised by doing continuous acts of the stat wanting raised example. For strength working out Ex. Leveling up and receiving 10 stat points a level or random item boxes and quests"

"System quests"

"..."

"System open mailbox"

"..."

"System open menu"

[Choose Menu |Status Window| |Skill Window| |Quests Menu| |Message Box| |Point Menu| |Locked|]

"Open Quest Menu" Alex said

[Quests Menu Opened]

[Main Quest: Reach Level 5]

"System what Quest is the least difficult" Alex asked

Ding [Quest 1 fits specified criteria]

Alex moving towards his mess to look for water bottles saw a pack of chips and placed them on his desk. Alex managed to find 2 full, 2 half or more and 3 less-than half.

"Gllluuugg hrt gllllug glug" Alex checked his Quest progress

[Daily Quest 1. Drink two litres of Water] [1.8/2]

[Reward: Random Item Box- Rank F]

Alex looking for any water bottles in his pile after rummaging through couldn't find any but had found a mug. Alex running for the sink turning the faucet until the mug had been filled to the brim he started drinking.

After 4 brim-filled mugs Alex began to check his Quest, said "Open Daily Quest 1"

[Daily Quest 1. Drink two litres of Water]

[1.8/2]

[Reward: Random Item Box- Rank F]

"That's strange. System why didn't the water I drank count towards the Quest" Alex asked

Ding [Click Daily Quest 1]

Alex reached for the Daily Quest, clicking it and a new message appeared

[Quest. Drink 2 litres of Water]

[Water must either be bottled, canned or dispensed]

"I shoulda clicked it before" Alex groaned

"Alex, you were here just a few hours ago did you already finish the pork jerky" Antonio said suprised

Not wanting to tell Antonio that he finished the jerky before reaching his apartment quickly replied "I just finished all my water" as he couldn't exactly tell Antonio he needs to do a Quest from the System he received

"System which water brand is going to help me with the Quest" Alex whispered

[Water must either be bottled, canned or dispensed]

Just picking a random brand Alex picked up several bottle cases and left the store

Ding [Quest 3. Purchase 10.00 dollars worth of items] [Reward: 50 Coins]

[Received 50 Coins]

[25 Exp]

"..."

"System what are Coins used for"

Ding [Coins are used in the Shop, Shop earned after certain Quests completed]

"..."

"I can't even use these" He thought

***

Back in his apartment Alex opened a bottle and drank the water in it he repeated this twice

Ding [Quest 1. Drink two litres of Water] [Completed] [Reward: Random Item Box- Rank F]

[Received Random Item Box- Rank F]

[15 Exp]

The Item Box looked like a regular wrapped present, as Alex tried to open it a message appeared

[Unable to physically open Item Box]

"..."

"Open Random Item Box" Alex spoke
