1 Troll

"Okay. It's not as bad as the previous one. You got this! Do it for the Exp!" I tried to convince myself as much as I could. Deep down I knew there was no way this was going to turn out well.

Well, what can one do when they are in a desperate situation.

I took a deep breath and got up from the table I was sitting at. I briskly walked over to a nearby table.

The people sitting there turned to me as I approach them. They were three beautiful girls. One of them was a tall blonde girl who also happened to be my target.

I stood in front of her and with all of my courage I said, " Hey."

They were all looking at me and I could tell they were mercilessly judging me.

The blonde girl reply, "How can I help you."

At least she didn't straight out blew me off. Now comes the difficult part of the mission. If I had a choice I would never in a million years do this.

"Umm. I think you're very beautiful. I was just wondering..." I trailed off because the next few words were too hard to say in one go.

By the look of it, the blond girl quite liked the compliment. Her friends also seem to find me quite amusing now.

"What are you wondering?" She said with a smile.

"I...was just wondering...if I could see your.....pan-panties." It was probably the worst thing I've said to a girl out loud.

The three girls were immediately frozen. Can't blame them since who would expect to be asked such a question. Early in the morning at that.

"You BASTARD!" one of her friends yelled at me.

Soon all three of them started swearing at me. Even the nearby customers started to give me sidelong glances. Of course, I made a quick escape.

If I didn't I would probably get the cops on me and it was too embarrassing to stay. After a few stories, I quickly ran out of the cafe door.

"Fucking bastard are you happy?" I muttered as I was looking at the palm of my hand. You might think I'm talking to myself and you might be right.

Sometimes I think I'm very mentally ill. On my palm, there was a transparent screen with texts on it. It looks like something you would see in scifi movies. It happened about four years ago on my 20th birthday.

I remember that night I was smoking pot and freaked the fuck out when I saw my palm. On it was a white screen with a single line of text.

It said, "Welcome to the system."

That night was one of the scariest nights of my life. It didn't help that no one else could see it either.

That was how I became the sole user of this mysterious "System".

Over the years the System gave missions. They were just random stuff like the one I just did. None of the missions were life-threatening but ignoring them was.

Every mission had the same setup.

Mission: Ask a stranger if you could see their panties.

Reward: 100exp

Failure: Car accident

Time Limit: 50mins

Every time I finish a mission there would a text that said "Congratulations" and that was it. I never found out where the exp went.

Over the past 4 years, I think I probably amassed like a few million exps. The only reason I keep doing these seemingly pointless missions were due to the freaking penalties.

There was one time where I just ignored the time limit and well it didn't turn out so well. I ended up in the hospital for a few weeks. The "accident" was caused by a piece of a tree branch falling on me.

From then on I didn't dare risk the penalties. Amongst my friends, I was known as Daring Drew but they had no idea how I'm suffering.

I walked along the sidewalk until a magnificent building came into view. This building was called the Anderson building and the place where I worked. Also, the place where I live occasionally.

Just the regular life of an office worker.

I walked into the elevator and just when I was about to press my floor number, I felt a sting on my palm.

Damn it. A new freaking Mission. I looked at my palm and there it was.

Mission: Stay in the elevator for 2 hours.

Reward: 1000 exp

Failure: Fired

Time Limit: 0mins

When I saw the mission I almost popped a vein. This was clearly just trying to get me fired. And the mission has already started.

I gritted my teeth and started cursing at the System for making me lose another job. At least I'm getting some useless exp for this.

Just like that, I spent the morning in the elevator.

System: Congratulations Mission Complete

A few of my coworkers saw me but they didn't really care much since this wasn't the first time I did something weird. In fact, this was a lot less weird than some of the done so far.

Of course, I was immediately fired. I can't blame them since I was shocked they hired me in the first place.

Well, I guess its time to go back home. Just thinking about my dad's disappointed face makes me sigh. Well, it beats living on the streets.
