As Alex entered the village, he was greeted by the warm glow of lanterns and the sound of laughter. He could sense the tight-knit community that thrived within these walls, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging. The Mooncat, now affectionately named Luna, followed closely at his heels.
As they walked through the village, Alex noticed a group of villagers gathered around a notice board, discussing various tasks and requests. Intrigued, he approached the board, and a new screen materialized before him.

Eager to test his abilities and contribute to the village, Alex accepted a simple quest to repair a damaged water wheel at the nearby river. With Luna by his side, he made his way to the river, analyzing the damaged wheel and formulating a plan to fix it.
Using his crafting skill, Alex gathered materials from the surrounding area and set to work. As he labored, he noticed that the villagers had gathered to watch him, curious about the newcomer who had taken on the task with such confidence. With each passing hour, Alex's engineering game system provided him with new insights and techniques, allowing him to repair the wheel with remarkable efficiency.

As the water wheel began to turn once more, the villagers erupted into cheers and applause. They welcomed Alex with open arms, grateful for his help and eager to learn more about his unique abilities. Among the crowd, Alex noticed a young woman with fiery red hair and an air of confidence. She introduced herself as Elara, a sorceress with a penchant for getting into trouble.
Intrigued by his engineering game system, Elara proposed an alliance, offering her magical expertise in exchange for his strategic and analytical skills. Sensing the potential for a powerful partnership, Alex agreed, and the two set off on their first quest together.
