As he opened the thick wooden door the smell of rot, decay and festering shit filled his nose. He felt his beef stew rising rapidly from his stomach and swallowed it back down. Then, he got to work, "This isn't so bad once you get used to the smell I gue.." he though to himself before all the stew in his stomach spewed out of his mouth like a great fountain.
...
This seemed to familiar to Adan.
However, he grabbed his shovel and got to work clearing the excrement and spoiled food. Occasionally he got the feeling that someone was watching him but as soon as he felt it, the feeling was gone again.
Hours went by while he was working in the sewers, before he knew it he had finished his daily task and it was time to go. He slowly made his way out of the sewers to the maintenance room to wash his shoes and put his shovel away.
Ding host has cleaned the sewers preventing infection and disease.... Yang karma points awarded.
"What the hell?" he thought as his memory was soon filled with the memory of his conversation with the old geezer system. "So this is what was meant by good and bad karma...." ".5 stat points awarded for menial labor." Adan heard the geezer system say dryly in his ear.
"What can I do with that?" Adan asked unsure of what to do.
"Stat points increase your stats you blubbering moron! Just choose which stat to apply them to and they'll be increased accordingly."
After mentally applying the .5 points he thought about his status and it appeared in front of him again slightly abbreviated.

The rest of the listings from before were gone but he assumed it was because he had no access to the functions.
He decided he would take a walk into the lower part of the city and clear his head.
After he exited the academy by way of the rear he began to walk swiftly, some strong feeling kept him pressing onward toward the lower part of the city.
A smile quickly filled his face as he took in the jovial and friendly atmosphere of the city. He began walking from street to street, he barely had any money, however the experience and excitement in the air was well worth the trip!
From a street over he heard someone yell "Watch out!" he immediately began to sprint in the direction of the commotion which was uncommon in this part of the city. As he crested the corner his eyes were wildly scanning the area for whatever had caused a disturbance in this usually peaceful part of town.
Seeing a small boy standing in the middle of the lane, he also noticed a large wooden chariot pulled by several horses thundering toward the youngster. Without a second thought he sprinted in the boys direction, "I have to help him or I'll never be able to live with myself!" he screamed internally. He reached the boy mere seconds before the chariot and horses slammed into his tiny body, he grabbed the boy and tossed him out of the way. Looking up at the chariot he had a dreaded sense of familiarity in his heart.
The chariot was still a few seconds away from reaching his location, he managed to jump out of the way in the nick of time.
Suddenly, the memory of saving the boy and almost dying filled his mind. "Have I altered the future or the past or whatever this is??" he thought to himself.
An uproarious applause rang out from the area surrounding him as the people had seen what happened.
