<<Run boy run! This world is not made for you.
Run boy, run! They're trying to catch you.
Run boy, run! Running is a victory.
Run boy, run! Beauty lays behind the hills...>>
<<Run boy run! The sun will be guiding you.
Run boy, run! They're dying to stop you.
Run boy, run! This race is a prophecy.
Run boy, run! Break out from society... >>
<<Tomorrow is another day.
And you won't have to hideaway.
You'll be a man, boy!
But for now, it's time to run; it's time to run!>>
[A/N: Song by Woodkid, Songwriters: Ambroise Willaume / Yoann Lemoine, Planet Earth]
'Alright, Alright, I get it. Can't you see I'm running now? Don't play that song in your fucking robotic voice over and over again in my ears! It hurts, Dammit... And how come you know the song from my original world?' Ivan grumbled in annoyance in his mind as he ran within the backyard of Wild Wolf Village Chief's house.
<< System is encouraging the Host to complete the Daily Mission because System cares about you. The System can run and has every song that is made on Planet Earth in the vast Music library section. The Host can listen to any song of his choice for free, but it can only be played in your mind.>>
"Who would even want to listen to a song through your irritating voice? Can't you play the song in the original voice?"
<< Host needs to become powerful and upgrade the System.>>
"How do I upgrade you?" Ivan quickly asked.
<<Become powerful>>
"How much powerful?" Ivan asked again.
<<Reach Level 10, Level 20, Level 30 and so on>>
Chime!

Daily Mission:(Resets every midnight)

Warning: Failure to complete this Daily mission results in becoming impotent for a week.

"Hah! Hah!... I already ran for five kilometers?" Ivan wasn't even aware of the time passing since he talked to the System the whole time.
Fortunately, because of his stats, Ivan was able to run for five kilometers without tiring himself much.
"Now, it's time for Squats, huh?" Ivan came in the middle of the backyard before he started going up and down.
"1... 2... 3... 4... 50...51... 99... 100!"
Ivan took a minute rest before he walked to a tree grown in Sarah's House's backyard.
He grabbed a branch that was thick and strong enough to hold his weight before doing the pull-ups.
What Ivan didn't know was that a person was looking at him doing body training this late in the night from behind the backdoor of the house.
It was Sarah, who had gone back inside the house to bring some clothes for Naina after showing her the way to the bathhouse, which was located in the backyard near the well.
She wanted to give her clothes so that Naina could wear them after she is done bathing.
The light mage's clothes were torn from many places, so she asked Sarah if she had any extra pair of clothes that she can wear.
While Ivan was busy doing the pull-ups, Sarah walked out of the house before leaving the clothes at the bathhouse's door. She looked towards the hard-working man once more before going back inside the house to be with her daughter.
Ivan did not see her at all since he was facing in the opposite direction of the house. He also did not notice that Sarah's loyalty had increased by two percent, bringing it to eighty.
It is a threshold, which was very difficult to achieve. As for its advantage, Ivan would only know in the future.
After completing the pull-ups, Ivan went ahead to complete the rest of the exercises.
Chime!

"Hah!... I finally completed one of the Daily missions. Let's do the second one quickly. There's not much time left.
Ivan sat in a lotus position. As he had read a book about meditation, he tried calming his mind and meditating just like he had done back on planet earth.
Therefore it was not difficult for him to get in the right state to meditate.
Anyway, the System had already told him that he could use any method of meditation he liked, provided that it could increase the progress bar of the Daily Mission.
An hour passed quickly.
Chime!

Ivan got the rewards for completing both the Daily Mission, and his Exp increased by ten to become fifteen. Ivan was relieved he completed the Daily mission on time. He did not want to see if the System would really punish him for not meeting the Daily mission.

But then Ivan noticed that his Exp bar was not fifteen but twenty-five.
"Did I calculate it wrong? Where did this extra Exp come from. . . Oh, right, the main mission!" Ivan suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen the reward for completing the second Main mission, reaching the Wild Wolf Village on time.
<<
Main Mission:
2. Reach the Wild Wolf Village before midnight: Time Limit - 4 hours | Difficulty: D
Rewards are to be known on completing the mission within the time limit:(100% progress)
Warning: Failure to complete the task on time results in Death.
Mission Completed: Perfect Rating.
Rewards: 10 exp, 2 silver coins, Basic Horse Riding Guidebook, Eva, Water Attribute Unlocked.
>>
Ivan's eyes rounded in surprise to see Eva as a reward.
'Eva is a reward. Does she has any importance to me like Naina?' Ivan thought about the words of the System again. Any person that is made into a reward should be of great importance to him.
He shouldn't leave any chance to make a connection with them no matter how they can help in the future. Also, Ivan understood something about the rating category.
If he had not arrived so early with the help of Fenrir, he might not have been able to save Eva and would have technically lost her as a reward.
That would also have lowered his perfect rating of reaching the Wild Wolf Village, and Eva would also have died.
It means that every mission is somehow connected to each other. If Ivan completes every task perfectly or excellently, it will help him complete future missions and make the difficulty easier for him.
'Then I can't do half-ass work when doing any missions in the future so that I can get the best rewards and do not lose the successive missions that could help him in becoming stronger at a faster rate.' Ivan made a mental note in his mind.
Once he decided on something, Ivan would never hesitate another time.
The extra Exp was self-explainable, and the money he had also increased by two silver. Other than Eva as a reward, the last prize, the water attribute unlocking, also made him happy.
He had been thinking about why his status screen did not show any attributes before. Now he knew why.
