I woke up around noon the next day, determination burning within me like never before. The previous evening, which could now be described as a farewell party to my old self, had left a deep impression on me. I had contemplated my life at length and the paths I could have taken if I had died that night. However, I knew that the most important thing was that I now had the opportunity to start over from scratch.
"System, I have new missions" I declared, resolve gleaming in my eyes.
[ It was about time you remembered ]
[ Mission 1: Save time
Explanation: The host has a more important mission than attending university courses. It's time to focus on bigger projects.
Condition: Learn first-year mathematics courses in 2 weeks.
Reward: 50 points ]
"Hmm, it's true that attending lectures in a lecture hall would be a waste of my talent." I thought aloud.
[ You have no talent ]
" You're just jealous of me, that's all " I replied with a smirk.
[ … ]
[ Narcissistic ]
" Alright, alright, what are the other missions? " I asked, impatient to discover the next challenges that awaited me.
[ Mission 2: Fit Body
Explanation: Even though the host has embarked on the path of cultivation, maintaining excellent physical condition is crucial for faster results.
Condition: Go to a gym or exercise at home 5 times a week.
Reward: 2 points for each session.]
" No chance, let's move on to the next one " I declared with disdain, knowing full well that physical exercise was not my cup of tea.
[ Mission 3: Bookworm
Explanation: The host must enrich their skills and put them into practice.
Condition: Spend the entire day at the library, until you write your first thesis.
Reward: 50 points]
As I contemplated the striking similarity between the first and last missions, I wondered "Why do these two missions resemble each other so much? "
Hmmm, if I want to make a name for myself in the academic world, I absolutely must start by writing theses. But not just any theses. On the other hand, I also need to quickly learn the courses for this year so that I'll have more time later. What should I do?
After pondering for a while, a brilliant idea crossed my mind " I can study my courses at the library while searching for a thesis topic. Plus, if I write a good thesis, I can earn the recognition of my professors, which might make them more lenient about my absences. "
" Damn, I'm a genius " I thought, feeling a surge of self-confidence.
[ No!! ] protested the system.
"Shut up, I choose the first mission " I replied confidently.
[ The host has chosen Mission 1 ]
[ Condition: Learn first-year mathematics courses in 2 weeks. ]
Determined to complete this mission, I got up, quickly freshened up, and headed toward the library. Along the way, I took in the scenery around me. The sun was shining in a brilliant blue sky, warming the cobblestone street lined with majestic trees. Birds were singing, and the air was filled with a gentle springtime fragrance. It was as if nature itself was giving me its approval for this new chapter of my life.
Finally, I arrived at the library, an imposing stone building with majestic columns. The massive wooden doors slowly opened, allowing me to enter a sanctuary of knowledge. Endless bookshelves stretched out before me, waiting to be explored and studied. This was where my quest to learn and complete my first mission began.
With a sigh of anticipation, I delved into the depths of the library, ready to immerse myself in the intensive study of mathematics and open the door to a future filled with possibilities.
