Chapter 3 - The System

[Does the host want to look at the beginners daily mission?]

[Yes] [no]

After thinking for a bit I decided to click on yes as no harm could come from simply looking at this so called beginners daily mission.

[Beginners daily mission: (difficulty: F/duration: 7 days left)

-do 10 push ups: 0/10

-do 10 sit ups: 0/10

-do 10 squats: 0/10

-run 3km: 0/3

Reward:

5 shop coins after the completion of every task]

[Please keep in mind that the task and reward will reset itself every day at midnight so the host is advised to not waste a single day]

I had many questions after reading the description of this mission and after remembering Adam's words about someone being able to answer my questions I got an idea.

"System are you able to answer my questions?"

[Yes, the system is capable of reading the host's mind and answering all of his questions]

'So that's what Adam was talking about.' It seems that my assumptions were right.

"Then can I know more about this mission? What would happen if I don't do it? And what will happen after the 7 days duration?"

[The system possess no punishment option so do not worry, but it is very recommended to succeed in the completion of the quests to increase your personal power and upgrade the system. And after the end of the 7 days the mission will simply disappear.]

"Hmm I see... And what about the reward? Those shop coins? How can I use them?"

[Does the host wish to visit the shop section?]

[Yes] [no]

I directly click on the yes button unable to hide my obvious excitement as to what I could possibly find in this shop.

I go through all the elements of the shop trying to hide my obvious deception. The money was useless to me since the money left by this boy's parents was more than enough for me to live peacefully for at least a few years, the only interesting thing were those stat amplifiers but I didn't know what they did exactly.

[The host can click on the desired article to view its properties and basic details] As if noticing my confusion the system replied to me

I then take another look at the shop and decide to click on the small strength amplifier

[Small strength amplifier:

"I can kinda guess the meaning of the rarity but what does increase your strength by 1 means exactly?"

[Does the host wish to access the status window]

[Yes] [no]

I clicked on yes again and waited for it to load

It feels weird to see a different name and age in front of me but I believe I'll get used to it. And wait how do I compare to a normal human? I can't tell if my stats are bad and good?

[Normal adult humans have average stats of 10 so the host is very below average in most stats other than intelligence]

I sigh at the sight of my own bad luck, it seems like the old owner of this body was a lazy spoiled brat, that would explain how skinny he is and those sub human stats, luckily my intelligence isn't low, I believe that's all I need for now.

I looked out of the window and noticed that all I did today was think of my new situation and that the sun had already started to set, after looking at the hour on this boy's phone and noticing that it's already 5:46pm.

I directly went to put on a jogging and some random hoodie this boy had, that making me think that I should go buy him some clothes since his style isn't what I'd call the most attractive.

After putting on some running shoes he probably never used in his life, I went out of the house and decided to try to finish the 3km run necessary for the daily mission.

I found a pretty nice itinerary that went through a park nearby my new house, I took the occasion to enjoy the scenery of a new country I've never been to before, even if that boy had some memories about Japan and I even know the language thanks to him, I'm fluent in it other than a little accent, it's still way better to make my own memories.

I kept running at a relatively slow pace but once I hit the 2km mark I noticed a pretty huge problem with my current body, as my current fully sweating body indicated it, the 3 in endurance really wasn't a joke, this boy have a horrible athleticism.

After getting back home my body was full of sweat, I could barely breath, all my body and especially my feet were aching, but I still couldn't stop.

I couldn't find any better place to do it in at home so I simply sat down on the ground of the hallway and after laying down my back and raising my knees I started doing my sit ups.

Once I finished, the place I was laying on was full of my sweat which already gave me a headache about how I'd have to clean it up afterward.

I then kept going with the 10 squats that were a huge hell with my current legs which barely held me up, I kept internally cursing at this weak body of mine.

Finally all that was left were the push ups, I wasn't able to do 10 in a raw so I kept on taking small breaks, the only thing that held me from giving up were the notifications from the system everytime I finished a push up.

I managed to help myself up and while supporting myself with the wall I went toward the bathroom, the very same place where this hellish day started, but this time I was accompanied with a little sense of accomplishment, in my past life I wasn't a big fan of working out but I can't deny that it does make you feel good once it's finished.

I started taking off my clothes and taking one last look at my skinny body with a slight bit of annoyance in my glance, and then went to lay down in the bath to clean myself off this sweat and take a well deserved rest.

Once I laid myself down on the bath I decided to go check the system again

'Soul system'

[Yes, host how may I help you?]

'Open the quest screen please." After all this work I can't wait to get my reward I've been doing all this for.
