Chapter 3

After Daniel found out about the Life Quest, he now truly determined to become stronger. He did not want his family to get the penalty if he failed the quest especially The Core quest. Daniel also thought that The Core quest might be the reason why he got a different quest menu. The Core quest looked super important. He did not know what The Core was but he knew it must be something that can impact the life and death of everyone if the penalty for failing the quest was death.

Daniel went to the kitchen and try to find some food for Ginger. He decided to do Ginger daily quest first since it was the easiest. He needed to give food to Ginger and clean him a bit. He found some food for Ginger and put it in a small container.

"Ginger, come here eat this," said Daniel to Ginger.

"Meow," Ginger came near Daniel and ate the food that Daniel brought.

'Ting~ Ginger daily quest complete. Reward obtains' the system notified Daniel. Daniel then took a small handkerchief and wipe Ginger's body. Another notification same as before came after he finished. A new quest also appeared after the notification.

'New normal quest. Buy Ginger a bed. Reward: Happiness +10%'

"Hahaha, even buying a bed is a quest but why give the reward something that already been maxed?" said Daniel while smiling but also disappointed with the reward. "Ginger, please wait for tomorrow. I will get you your bed tomorrow. Tonight, you can sleep with me," said Daniel while petting Ginger.

"Meow," Ginger happily answered.

"Now it is time to do my training quest," said Daniel. Daniel was from a noble family. His father was a general in the military and also a baron. He usually busy with the military and rarely home. Daniel's house was quite big and since his father was a general, he made a training area inside and outside their house. Daniel went to the training area inside his house since it was cold outside. Ginger was bored, so he followed Daniel to the training area.

"I know how to train attack, speed, accuracy, magic and intelligent but how do I train my luck? Hmm~ this will be hard. Sigh~ I should finish what I know first. Let's do attack training first," said Daniel.

Daniel took the wooden sword and went to a big block of wood and start attacking the wooden log by slashing it with the wooden sword. He slashed and slashed the wooden log for 30 minutes without stopping. Daniel was used to this kind of training because his dad always training him and his siblings when he got some free time.

'Ting~ Daily quest attack training complete. Reward obtains' the system notified Daniel. 'Ting~ A new daily quest created.'

"Hah, hah, new daily quest?" said Daniel while catching his breathe. Daniel checked his new daily quest. "Sword training?" said Daniel.

The new daily quest was under sword training. 'Slashing training 30 minutes. Reward: atk+1%' the quest wrote.

"So, if I train another 30 minutes, will I get another 1% attack? Let's do it," Daniel continued slashing the wooden log for another 30 minutes and he got another 1% attack stat. "2% attack stat in one day. This is really great. If I do the slashing training tomorrow, will it stack with attack training? I hope it stack. Now for speed training. I just need to run for 30 minutes. Easy," said Daniel. He went to the treadmill put in the electric magic stone and set the time and speed for the treadmill and he started running for 30 minutes.

After another 30 minutes, 'Daily quest speed training complete. Reward obtains. New daily quest created' the system notified Daniel. 'Athletics training quest. Running for 30 minutes. Reward: spd+1%'

"So, every time I do new training, the quest record it and update my daily quest. Since I have lots of free time, I should do another 30 minutes of running," said Daniel and he started running again and after 30 minutes he got another stat increase.

"Accuracy training next. I should ask dad to make a shooting range for me so I can train my accuracy as well as added new daily quest," said Daniel. He collected many small stones outside his house and brought it to the training area. At the same wooden log, he drew big circle followed by smaller circle inside. He stood about 10 meters away from the wooden log and started throwing the stones.

However, even after 30 minutes, Daniel still not completed the quest. "I have been throwing the stones for 40 minutes and why is the quest still not complete," Daniel wondered but he kept throwing the stones and after about 3 hours, the system notified Daniel.

'Ting~ Daily quest accuracy training complete. Reward obtains. New daily quest creates.'

"Finally!!! Why is this so hard to complete? Could it be that it calculates the time I am throwing and not the time I pick up the stone too?? Sigh, I need to check the new daily quest," said Daniel.

'Athletics training quest. Throwing training. Hit target 100 times. Reward: acc+1% atk+1%'

"Hit target? Ah!!! That's right. It is call accuracy training and I freaking miss my throw a lot!!! How stupid can I be? But the reward for my new daily quest is really good. Double rewards. I need to try lots of training. Maybe I can unlock more double rewards," said Daniel and he continued his throwing training until he hit the target for 100 times. After another hour, Daniel finished his throwing training and gained the double rewards.

"I am really tired. My arms numb. My body heavy but I want to finish my daily quest… I can train my intelligent by reading books but how can I magic training if I don't even know how to use magic. No one at home too. I will ask mom to show me magic flow when she came back from work…," said Daniel. He rested a bit and went for a shower. After that, he went to his study desk and start reading his book however after an hour of reading, just like his accuracy training, he did not complete the intelligent training quest.

"Again… Maybe I need to read something new. There are lots of law books in mom's study room. Urm~ law book is boring but I need to read it anyway," Daniel went to his mother's study room and took few books that he never read before. He went back to his room and start reading. Exactly 30 minutes later, he completed his intelligent training and new daily quest created.

'Mind Training Quest. Reading books for 30 minutes. Reward: int+1%' after the new quest was created, Daniel continued reading for another 30 minutes. While he was reading the book, his mother came home.

"I'm home… Why is it so quiet? Daniel, are you home?" said Daniel's mom. She went straight to Daniel's room and opened the door. "Huh? You are home. What are you doing?" asked Daniel's mom.

"Oh, mom you are back. Welcome home," said Daniel with a tired face.

"Isn't this my books. Are you studying laws now? Do you decide to become a lawyer like me too?" asked Daniel's mom with a big smile on her face.

"What? No way? I read this because it is important to me. Look at my face, do I look like someone who enjoy doing this," said Daniel.

"Hahaha, if that the case, why are you reading this?" asked Daniel's mom.

"I told you this is important to me," said Daniel.

"Hmm~ then, I won't disturb you," said Daniel's mom. She went out of Daniel's room and went to her room. She changed her clothes and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

After 30 minutes, Daniel complete the quest and received the reward.

"Phew~ Finally. Reading a book that I'm not interested in is a complete torture," said Daniel. He stretched his body a bit and went lying on his bed. He took Ginger and put him besides him. He played with Ginger while waiting for dinner.

"Daniel! Dinner's ready," screamed Daniel's mom from the dining room. Daniel heard his mom and went to the dining room. That night, only Daniel and his mom at home, so only two of them were at the dining table. Daniel's dad was busy like usual. Declan went on a mission. Dean and Delilah were married so they went to their own home.

"Mom, I need you to teach me to feel magic tonight, will it be okay?" asked Daniel.

"Sure. It will only take 5 minutes. I can even do it now if you want. So, what skill you want to create for your first skill?" asked Daniel's mom.

"With my stats and potential, magic bullet is the best choice," said Daniel.

"Hmm~ then it will take a while before you can create your first skill," said Daniel's mom.

Skills cannot be found but it needed to be learned or created. In order to create skills, stats, potential, and many other parameters were needed. Many people created skills by themselves or gained inspirations from other people. Skills can be created every 5 level up. Skills must be related to potential. If someone create a skill unrelated to their potential, that skill can't be level up.

"It is winter break now and I have a lot of time to do it," said Daniel.
