The Next Morning, Including a System

After chatting with the Savants Iskandor went home and took a much deserved sleep. The very day he woke up to find Lar staring at him.

"Is there something on my face?" Iskandor had asked, only to receive silence. "Lar, talk to me, why are you staring at me as if I'm a monster never before seen?"

"You are different, normally the most you would do is climb a tree and overlook the neighborhood." Lar said, obviously implying stalker like activity. "Then out of nowhere you actually go do something productive, you helped out the Savants, which is something unlike you... So wha-"

"Alright, I admit it, I have changed... You could say someone or something visited me in my dreams, and due to that I have changed for the better." Iskandor said truthfully, despite it not being exactly what happened.

"So you're saying that due to a few words or actions in a dream you've changed you ways?" She asked.

"Basically, you could also say I've been blessed with knowledge, but I don't want others to know that just yet..." Iskandor hesitantly spoke.

"Well, I'm glad you're a better you."

"So much better I may have made enough money to last you a long time if you spend it carefully. A single gold piece to be exact."

"How!?!?" she asked, shocked to her core.

"Well the concrete recipe should be about 50 silver, the concept of the screw was about 20 silver, then the roller and loom upgrade are about 15 each... I told them I didn't need nor want the money but they insisted..." He replied. "Do you mind picking up the coin and checking on the concrete and loom? I'm still tired from the hard work, I'll repay it later today."

"Under one condition." She states sternly.

"Which is?" He asked.

"That you finally confess your love to Serena, she probably already knows, and with you're changed self you may have a chance." she said.

"Is there a deadline? I'm not ready, if anything I should formally interact with her a bit, so that way it at least feels more natural, and also, like I said yesterday, I don't need love advice and whatnot, I got this." Iskandor said, almost harshly towards the end.

"Alright, the end of the month, you have a week to do it. I have high expectations for you now." she said sweetly, too sweetly as she walked out the door to collect.

'please let there be a system, that would make things so much easier.' Iskandor thought hopefully

*DING, boot up complete. Choose an objective*

'hmm... an objective... I definitely want to be strong enough to protect those I care about, I want to learn magic, but I also want to introduce technology and make the world a better place... I may be asking too much of myself though...'

'I'll take photographic memory and charm, that way I can remember everything and help boost the odds in pleasing my sister...'

*New Quests

'Thanks for the direction, I think I'll become a king and start my actual influence in my kingdom, as for where the kingdom will be I'll want to see a map of as much of the world as possible. Don't mark the quest through, I'm not absolutely certain about being a king, I don't know if I'm qualified for such a position'

*Understood*
