Zafron stood in the center of his room, his breath still slightly labored from the unexpected 3km run. He glanced at the quest notification hovering in his peripheral vision, a reminder of the tasks still ahead. But before diving into the push-ups and squats, a thought nagged at him.
'I've supposedly improved my endurance,' he mused, 'but how can I really tell? It's not like I can go for another run right now to test it out.'
He paced the room, his mind churning over the problem. 'These quests are meant to improve me, but without a clear way to measure the changes, how can I be sure they're working?'
Zafron's eyes fell on the strength portion of the quest. An idea began to form. 'What if I could test my strength before and after completing this part of the quest? Then I'd have a real, tangible way to measure my progress.'
