Last Wish System Chapter 5
Advertisement
After hearing the notification, Yale smiled and continued his training. He wasn't satisfied with only two points.
Yale's continued training until the seventh day when he started the archery lessons. In that short time, he managed to increase his Strength points to three, but not only that, Yale's Vitality points increased to four.
With the stats Yale had at that moment, only the Agility points remained under the average mark for his age. Using the system's stats, the average for the physical stats of a six-year-old kid was three, so Yale couldn't be considered weak among those at his age after his training, but he couldn't be regarded as overly strong either.
Of course, in the mind stats, Yale was extremely outstanding because the average was only two points. However, Yale cared more about his weak points as they could improve much more.
Yale reached the archery training ground while lost in his thoughts.
"So, you are that famous bookworm."
A tall man with a hawk-like nose spoke those words.
"I'm Yale Roanmad. I applied to attend archery lessons."
Of course, the tall man was mocking him, but Yale didn't care, as long as he could use archery to improve his Dexterity points.
"I doubt that a weakling like you can hold a bow or shoot an arrow, but I can't deny your request for more than a week. You are lucky to be a legitimate son."
While speaking, he gave a bow to Yale.
The bow obviously wasn't of the appropriate size for a beginner of Yale's age. Yale had read about archery before, so he knew about the different kinds of bows and which suited him more. He had even contrasted the information with the system.
"I rather choose this other one."
Yale replied, picking a bow that suited him.
He knew that even though the instructor could recommend a bow to the students, the students had the right to choose in the end. However, as the students usually didn't know anything about bows, they would follow the instructor's recommendation.
The instructor's face changed when he saw Yale's actions. The instructor wasn't a legitimate child of the clan, and even though he became recognized for the clan in the end and became an archery instructor, he loathed those lucky legitimate children.
Choosing a bad bow for Yale was the limit for him. As an instructor, he couldn't harm a legitimate son of the clan without reasons and even less one under the World's protection. Since he could explain the fact of giving a bad bow to Yale as teaching him the importance of choosing a bow well, the clan wouldn't punish him.

Letting the students learn from their errors was still a valid teaching method, even if the mistake was trusting the instructor, but if Yale chose his bow himself, the instructor couldn't change Yale's decision and what frustrated him the most was that bow that Yale selected was an appropriated one.
"It seems that you know something about bows. You passed the test. You can call me Instructor Nosehawk."
Yale didn't reply, but in his mind, Yale was thinking.
"What test? You were trying to bully me. Furthermore, what's with that name? You have a hawk-like nose, but for your father to name you Nosehawk, isn't that a bit cruel?"
Yale started walking until he reached the position set for the students to shoot. Including Yale, there were only ten students. The training camp had room for many more students to practice at the same time, but archery wasn't popular enough.
Nosehawk started to give instructions to the students. He was teaching well at that moment because if all the students get injured, he would be blamed without doubt and archery wasn't a joke, even though the arrows were modified so they couldn't kill anyone, they were still dangerous.
At the instructor's signal all of them shot at the same time, only three people hit the target, two of them hit the very center of the target, they were the most veteran students, and they were already nine years old. The third was Yale, even though he didn't hit the center of the target like the other two, he still hit the target.
Yale thought that the results were not bad for his first try, but then something unexpected happened.
[Quest Menu unlocked a new type of Quest. Dynamic Quest section has been added to the Quest Menu.]
Yale was shocked because he never thought that the system would unlock something because he shot an arrow.
[A Dynamic Quest is a special type of Quest. It unlocks when the user performs a certain action. Would the user like to activate notifications for Dynamic Quests?]
The system continued, and Yale accepted.
[New Dynamic Quest: Shoot one hundred arrows. Reward: Archery Innate Talent: Medium grade.]
Yale had a wide smile after seeing the Dynamic Quest. Fortunately, he just hit the target so no one would suspect anything just because he was smiling.
"It's only a matter of time to obtain it, what a great surprise."
While Yale thought that, the system continued.
[New Dynamic Quest: Shoot one hundred arrows that hit the target. Reward: Archery Innate Talent: Medium-high grade.]

Yale was even more surprised, but the system continued.
[New Dynamic Quest: Shoot a consecutive one hundred arrows that hit the target. Reward: Archery Innate Talent: High grade.]
[New Dynamic Quest: Shoot a consecutive one hundred arrows that hit in the middle of the target. Reward: Archery Innate Talent: Perfect grade.]
Yale was without words and also had some doubts about the Dynamic Quests.
[The user can complete all the Dynamic Quests. The user can obtain one reward and continue trying to complete the others later. The rewards for the Dynamic Quests will be automatically redeemed when completed. There are Dynamic Quests with a time limit, but only if the Dynamic Quest state it.]
In an instant, the system solved Yale's doubts.
"Then, if I keep practicing archery, there's possible to obtain a perfect grade Innate Talent. The conditions for that aren't easy to accomplish, but if I get the other rewards first, my abilities with the bow will become greater. Furthermore, I can do those Quests at the same time that I train my Dexterity."
Yale was happy while thinking as he shot the second arrow, the results were similar to the previous ones.
The training continued. They shot thirty more arrows before finishing the lesson, and although Yale only hit the center of the target two times, the rest of them had still hit the target.
Yale was quite tired as he returned to his room. He had almost completed one-third of three Dynamic Quests, but if he failed even one arrow, the third Dynamic Quest would restart.
He confirmed it with the Dynamic Quest, which would reward a perfect grade archery innate talent. When he hit the center of the target, and then, he only hit the target, the count went back to zero.
Yale was sure that he could get the High-grade Innate Talent in a few days, but he felt that obtaining the perfect grade would be very difficult.
As Yale still had medicinal pills, he continued his training in his room. Knowing his sister, it would be strange if she didn't send him more medicinal pills, so Yale used them without worries.
That routine continued for two more days. Yale had almost completed the two first Dynamic Quests, but since he failed one arrow, the third Dynamic Quest went back to zero.
As Yale expected, he received more medicinal pills from his sister. Without having to worry about his stamina, he trained without stop and the morning before starting the fourth archery lesson, his Strength points increased to four, and an hour later, his Vitality points reached five.
As for Dexterity, the points remained the same, but Yale wasn't expecting to increase them in only three days of archery training, so he went to the archery lesson expecting to complete two Dynamic Quests.
Yale only shot four arrows when the system's prompt appeared.
[Dynamic Quest completed: Shoot one hundred arrows. Reward obtained: Archery Innate Talent: Medium grade.]
Yale wasn't sure what had changed, but he seemed to feel more familiar with the bow.
"That should be the effects of an Innate Talent related to weapons."
Yale's proficiency with the bow become better the moment he obtained the Innate Talent, that was a good point about the Innate Talents related to weapons as using the weapon would become more instinctive the higher the Innate Talent grade one had.
Furthermore, any stats related to the Innate Talent would become easier to increase when practicing with the weapon. Yale's path to obtaining ten points in Dexterity became easier thanks to the rewards Dynamic Quests.
Yale shot the next arrow in the middle of the target, which triggered another message from the system.
[Dynamic Quest completed: Shoot one hundred arrows that hit the target. Reward obtained: Archery Innate Talent: Medium-high grade.]
Yale had only failed the target once, so the next arrow completed the second Dynamic Quest.
As his Innate Talent improved, his archery improved even more. At that moment. Yale was able to hit seven consecutive shots in the middle of the target. Previously, his record was only of two consecutive shots, which proved Yale had improved a lot.
To Yale, the archery lessons weren't real lessons, they were only training. That was because Nosehawk didn't give him any advice, he occasionally gave pointers to the others, but Nosehawk ignored Yale completely.
Yale only needed to train in archery, and he didn't care about Nosehawk. Yale had seen him shoot an arrow, and he wasn't that good for his age. He was only qualified to teach kids that weren't ten years old yet. In the Nacesai Academy, there were some kids better than Nosehawk.
Even the two nine-year-old kids from the class were almost as good as the instructor at that moment, so Yale didn't think highly of him.
Thinking about his useless archery instructor, Yale shot the last arrow of the day; he would need another day to finish the third Dynamic Quest.
The arrow hit the middle of the target, and a notification appeared in Yale's mind.

Colin is bored out of his skull and has been getting more and more restless of late, and his wife, McKenna, has noticed. To help, she decided to get him one of the most sought after devices on the planet, A headset for the Ineffable Gaming System and its revolutionary game Rosengard Worldwide. The most advanced virtual reality video game and the only one with a near-perfect total immersion system, McKenna hoped that the activity in the game could help him overcome his boredom for the foreseeable future. On his first day in the game, he's betrayed for loot, killed, and even made to suffer. Unknown to these players, Colin (DevilWalker in-game) was an Assassin for hire that takes loyalty and betrayal seriously. It was never just about business, and this was not just another aspect of the game for him. This game was a gift from his wife, and he wasn't just going to stop. Now these players and anyone who harbors them are on his list. There will be no compromise, no remorse, and No Absolution to any who betrays Colin Drummond, The DevilWalker. * * * * * * * * * * This story is a LitRPG Action/Adventure story that will feature levels, skills, abilities, monsters, douchebag players, exciting and cool equipment with so much more. I have so much planned for this that it should be fun and entertaining for readers who enjoy the LitRPG genre as much as I do. Please join me as I recount the tale of a man who becomes a legend — both in-game and out of it. I plan to attempt a weekly update schedule. Upload Sunday evening(for me). Warning! This story will involve some amount of cussing to help add some realism and some insinuated sex that will fade to black the moment the fun begins. I am hoping to mostly keep this Rated PG-13 with maybe a few Chapters going rated-R due to language.

8 101Book of Randoms
Sum IRL stuff, My Inner Demons stuff and my own AU stuff all in one book. Perhaps some Bendy and the Ink Machine stuff. Along with random stuff, can't forget that.
