Systematic Survival

21 - New Quests

He got to 10 without any effort. He kept going without feeling any sort of fatigue. The number on the quest just kept ticking up until he heard a ding.

In an instant, his body felt like it was on fire. It felt like all his muscles were tightening and reforming. He felt incredible and light. He was a bit surprised because his muscles only got a tiny bit larger and it mainly felt like his muscles were more compressed now.

'Oh good. I guess after a specific point, it increases my strength without adding muscle size. I was hoping I wasn't going to look like one of those bodybuilders who look like a pile of boulders.'

He swung his arm a bit, hoping to somehow tell how strong he was. While it felt fairly effortless to move his body, he couldn't really tell the extent of his strength.

'I should probably find something to punch later. It would be good to know the extent of my abilities in case I get in another fight.'

As he was thinking that, the system started sending message after message.

'Cool, I got some new quests. I guess I have to finish all of them to get a new batch.'

He opened up the quest menu to see what the new quests were.

As he scanned the menu, his eyes just went wider and wider.

'Those rewards are insane! But also, what's with these quests!? Climb a tree? Convince someone I'm popular?'

He felt like the system was trolling him.

'Some of these quests are pretty stupid. But the rewards are really good.'

He noticed in particular that the quest to reach LVL 5 gave him a ton of stat points.

'Makes sense. By the time I'm level 5, I'll probably have a ton of points already. But what's with the other reward?'

He focused back on the quest and noticed the Artifact reward.

'Artifact? Maybe an item?'

He finished looking at the other quests as well.

'Compete in an event and win? Does just any competition work? Also, one point to all stats is nice. It's basically a level up.'

He decided he would look at them in more detail later. For now, he had to go to work.
