"Let's check out the Quests, what have you got for me system."

Said Carman as he reopened the system and navigated to the quests section.

[Please wait a moment, the system is scanning the host's mind and environment to formulate suitable quests]

"Alright, weird that it's making me work for the welcome package, let's see the other quests"

Closing the quest notification window, Carman opened the Quests tab in the system and looked at the screen with most of the options grayed out.

Carman sat in silence as he stared at the task for each quest. I can do the rest of the exercises here, but where can I do pullups? Thought Carman, looking around his room, while there was plenty of space for his small form to do most of the exercises, there was nothing on the walls for him to safely grip onto in order to perform pullups. In order to do that exercise, he'd have to leave the hideout and look for other secluded spots around Fontaine. Deciding not to delay further, Carman put his five year old body to work as he started doing his pushups and situps followed by squats. When he was finished, having had to push himself to finish the last few of each exercise, he felt tired and a tingling/burning sensation in his muscles. While it was very uncomfortable, he hadn't pushed himself to the point pain had flaired up into his arms, abs, or legs.

"I guess I can look for a place to do pullups while jogging, I can even think of what to make while I am at it." Carman said to himself quietly as he stood up after resting and made his way through the hole in the wall to the backstreet of Fontaine that had become home to him.

Hello everyone,

This is a general ask for help. Does anyone have ideas for quests to give to the MC? Please comment if you do and I'll put it into consideration, but please be patient as it may happen later on in the story.

Please do not put in any harem requests, I prefer letting the characters in my stories develop without any planned romantic intentions, I don't play into the trope "love at first sight" and then a few chapters later the characters are intimate. No, in this story, any romance will take time to develop just like the characters. I understand that it could be frustrating to some folks, but this is the way I want to write the story if you do not find that enjoyable, there are other fics out there I am not forcing you to read mine.

Also just wanted to give a shout-out to Weltraum_Geist, thank you so much for being the first to take the time and offer advice and a power stone. I don't really have to words to explain how much this means to me, I am really shy about the stories that I write, to the point they get lost as random "Untitled Documents" in my Google Drive. The only reason I am able to share this story is because of the anonymity offered on this platform, and it is a more than just a confidence boost to know that a random stranger liked my story enough to take time and help me improve my writing. You didn't know me and did not feel obligated through something like friendship to say anything. You could have just kept silent and stayed with the crowd of people who read the story and leave without a comment. So, from the bottom of my heart thank you, it means more than you could know.

That's all for now, it got a bit heavy there for a bit, I'll see you in the comments, thanks a bunch! As always, please comment on ways I can improve, I am hungrier than ever for feedback now!
