611 First Quest Bonus

Furrowing his brows, Ken contorted his face in annoyance, “Football! Why does it have to be football? I don’t even like that sport.”

Ken sat in a squat position, staring at the holographic panel floating before him. Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead and fell to the floor beneath.

[59.. 58.. 57..]

The more Ken stared at the screen, the more he felt exasperated. [3… 2… 1…]

Finally, as the timer hit 0 Ken collapsed on the ground, unable to hold the position any longer. Panting heavily, he stared at the screen. [Ding! Daily Quest Completed]

[You have been granted 0.1 points]

[First-time completion bonus +10 points]

While Ken remained flat on the floor, his ear buzzed with the sound of the notification from the system. Yet when he heard the content of the notification, he couldn’t help but reveal a self-deprecating smile on his face. The daily quest he had completed was nothing but a nightmare. ‘100 Push-ups. 10 Km run. 10 min squat pulses. 100 sit-ups. Isn’t this too much?’ Ken couldn’t help but exasperate thinking about the daily torture he had to endure. If it weren’t for the fact that he exercised frequently, he’d have already been hospitalized. Even somebody who exercised daily would find those sets of exercises difficult, let alone somebody who hadn’t trained before. It had been months since he awakened this ethereal almost fantasy-like system that promised to alter his fate. At first, when he awakened, he was skeptical about this so-called omnipotent system. But gradually, he accepted it. However, even now, he couldn’t help but complain. Why you may ask, it’s because he was interested in baseball but he was forced to play football. Is God being sarcastic with him?

Like, what kind of ridiculous joke is this? If the universe wanted to grant him such a thing, couldn’t they at least grant him something of his interest?

But since he had received this opportunity, he might as well grab it. So, even though he wasn’t particularly interested in football, he accepted it nonetheless. Well, what could he do even if he refused it?

Might as well try it than refuse it. With that thought in mind, he had been putting up with the hellish quest it assigned to him. Just like any other normal human being, he struggled to complete the regime in the beginning. But finally, after almost three weeks of endurance, he completed it for the first time. Savoring the sweet taste of victory, Ken proceeded to use the hard-earned points. ‘Finally, I can use it.’ Thinking about using the hard-earned points to improve himself, Ken’s face gleamed with excitement.

Looking at his stat, Ken couldn’t help but frown. Even he could tell that he was horrendous at football. Strangely enough, upon looking at his stat, Ken couldn’t help but entertain the thoughts of being a defender. From the looks of it, he could tell that he didn’t possess any talent to be a forward. But Ken didn’t hate the possibility of being a defender either. Even while playing baseball, he was more of a catcher and fielder than a batter. That might be the attributing factor leading to this moment. So, he couldn’t rule out the possibility that his previous interest might have something to do with his present state. With his gaze fixated on the attribute tab, Ken began to ponder, “Should I spend the point on the mystery gift or should I increase my stat?”

There was a feature that allowed Ken to spend some points on mystery gifts. And right now, he had gathered enough points to buy one. Yet still, he couldn’t help but feel skeptical. After all, who knows if he wouldn’t draw something horrible? With the luck he possessed, he couldn’t rule out the possibility of drawing something horrible. Increasing ten attribute points at this stage would probably give him a huge boost. But still, he couldn’t bring himself to decide. The allure of the mystery gift was quite alluring to refute. The more Ken pondered, the more he found himself in a dilemma. Unable to come up with a decision, he grew irritated. “Argh! Just what should I choose?” Ken growled in an irritated and indecisive tone. Both options were equally lucrative. So, it was hard to decide on one. Unable to decide, he thought of an idea to help him decide. “Fate has assigned this system to me then let fate decide the option that I should opt to,” Ken mumbled while reaching his hand to his pocket. Rummaging through his pocket, he brought out a coin. Yes, he was going to use a simple method of coin toss to decide. “Heads, I’ll choose the mystery gift, and tails, I’ll spend the points on an attribute,” Ken mumbled while placing the coin on top of his thumb. Rather than being a Jack of all trades, Ken would put all the points in one particular attribute if he were to draw tails. Ken then flipped the coin. The coin spun as it soared in the air. Ken fixedly stared at the coin, his eyes filled with anticipation. Briefly after, the coin bounced on the ground. “Head!” Ken muttered looking at the outcome. After that Ken proceeded to spend all his hard-earned points on a mystery gift. The content of the gift made him anxious and he couldn’t help but feel worried. With his rotten luck, what if he drew something worthless?

Then wouldn’t all his effort come to naught? Ken could tell that if he only relied on the daily quest, it would take him 100 days to earn 10 points again. So, when he decided to spend the point, he couldn’t help but close his eyes in a way as if he were about to bid farewell to his beloved possession. [Congratulations!]
