As the evening unfolded, tensions rose between Jony's parents. His mother, furious at his father's behavior, confronted him, asking when he'd return home. An argument ensued between them, leaving Jony concerned about his father's childish behavior.

*Pop up*

1. System menu

2. Control panel

3. System termination

Choosing "Control Panel" was the wrong answer, leaving Mortallix in a moody state, unable to offer a choice to the protagonist.

Mortallix suggested a mission related to making Jony's father a better human being. Though unsure of how to accomplish this, Mortallix mentioned that it was Jony's task to figure it out.

Frustrated, Jony decided to crash the system, but a shock made him recall a plan to sneak cookies from the kitchen shelf at midnight, laughing mischievously. Mortallix wondered if it made a mistake, considering Jony's potential.

The system resumed, introducing the second task: "Walk the first day" with a special bonus of 5 strength points. Jony expressed his admiration for Mortallix, who modestly responded, asking Jony not to flatter him.

Jony acknowledged Mortallix's knowledge, surpassing that of even his parents, while slowly time passed by, and Jony completed his first task. The system alerted Jony about the transfer of power to his body, making things more interesting.

Mortallix informed Jony of a nine-month training schedule to ensure his safety and urged him not to repeat past mistakes.

A month passed, and one day, while Jony's mother went out, leaving Jony alone with his father, he pondered if it was good or bad luck to deal with his father's issues. He aimed to restore his father's lost intelligence.

Jony, using powers gained from Mortallix, attempted to alter his father's mental and physical characteristics, sending a beam of light into his father's body.

As the father's eyes opened and his vision improved, he returned to sleep, leaving Jony concerned about the repercussions of altering his father's essence.

When the mother returned, finding the father asleep, she panicked, about to call the police, until the father woke, surprising her with his caring demeanor. Shocked and perplexed, she questioned if it was real or just a dream.

Jony chuckled, deeming them a perfect couple. Mortallix confirmed the success in transforming Jony's father into a better human being, rewarding Jony with X-ray vision and power boosts.

Thank you for reading 😊 Next chapter coming soon!
