#034 – I thought this wasn’t a video ga
I woke up with a groan as I blinked away the sleepiness.
For the first ti since I’d found myself in this world, I wasn’t confused about where I was when I woke up.
Had I finally accepted my situation?
“Morning, chat,” I mumbled and got up from the floor.
Sleeping on the hard floor of the dungeon probably wasn’t the best for my back, ugh. I needed to find a proper shelter… or at least a pillow or sothing. Was it too much to hope the dungeon would give a pillow? Probably. If only the outside wasn’t still wet from the rain…
RetconRanger: Good morning, Nana.
“Mmm… Hey, Ranger. Are you my morning fairy for today?” I asked as I idly began to do my morning squats. I had kind of forgotten about those yesterday.
RetconRanger: I guess so.
RetconRanger: Did you sleep well?
bloopbooper: bloop! ヾ( ˃ᴗ˂ )◞ • *
“Ugh, well… Could have been better. Oh, hey, Booper! You too! Haven’t seen you in a while.” My mouth automatically curled into a smile as I said that silly na out loud. “But nah, I’m fine. I think I had a dream about beating up a bird with a giant egg though. That was weird.”
RetconRanger: Sounds silly.
RetconRanger: Does it have anything to do with your quest?
bloopbooper: bloop…? (⊙_⊙)
“Probably… I haven’t been thinking much about it, but yeah. Just wanna punch the damn Phoenix, you know?”
RetconRanger: Understandable.
RetconRanger: Have you thought about taking on more quests?
I stopped for a mont before continuing with the squats.
“I… I think I forgot about quests altogether for a bit.”
I’d completed the non-starvation one a few days ago, but hadn’t even tried to generate more quests to go with it. It had kind of… slipped my kind.
And nobody in chat had pointed it out until now, either.
Just more evidence that they were just the product of my subconscious mind… But then again, Ranger had pointed it out now, so maybe…?
…Anyway. Quests.
They weren’t even that good, to be honest. Achievents gave way more skill points than quests for a lot less effort. Not to ntion, failing a quest would give negative skill points.
But then again, achievents were limited. Quests seemingly weren’t. Not to ntion, completing side and hidden objectives seed to give extra rewards besides skill points. If I could stack up on those tickets, it would make exponentially more powerful the more I got. If the bonus stacked multiplicatively, that is. But that was kind of hard to tell…
Either way, if I could breathe fire all day long without worrying about collapsing, that would make fighting much easier. And since I didn’t really know what exactly increased my maximum reserves besides the tickets, I might as well try and get more of those, right?
“Well, why not? I can have one main quest and three side quests at once, right? So since I’ve completed that one side quest, I can still take one more. Let’s see here…”
Generate new quests
Generating new quests, please wait…
“...Right. I forgot it takes a bit.”
I finished with my squats and began with the push ups while idly talking with the two. By the ti I finished those, I had a few status windows waiting for .
“Now, let’s see here…”

“...Right. And I can only accept one of them. Hmm.” I narrowed my eyes in suspicion as I went over the quests again. “Why does it feel like I ca up with those quests myself…? Like… Just a few minutes ago, I thought how nice it would be to have sowhere better to sleep at. And I’ve been wanting to et other people since the start…”
Probably because the system was reading my mind to create these quests, just like the chat.
I grimaced at that thought.
RetconRanger: Possibly because the quests seem to be personalized for what you want/need at the mont?
“Yeah, that’s what I think too. It’s kinda creepy though… Stupid mind reading system, ugh…” I grumbled.
bloopbooper: boop! (｡>﹏᎑
