The next day.

"What happened to you today?"

Ria asked the girl in front of her while eating her lunch. The girl tilted her head to the side at her question.

"What do you mean?"

"You are not an athletic person as far as I know due to your stay-at-home personality."

The girl nodded her head at her word, but she was still confused as to why was it got something to do with what she asked for.

"But today in the Physical Activity class, you were not like you on any other day."

"...Do you mean that I didn't get tired or sweat as much as I usually did?"

"Yeah, that! and also usually you didn't join the P.A class."

Ria looked at the girl in front of her once again. She sheepishly laughed at her word and continued eating the lunch food instead.

I have leveled up and put the attribute points into strength and vitality which show the result that you have seen in P.A class, Or so Sheila thought in her mind as she couldn't possibly tell and explain it to her friend.

She accidentally exposed herself in the P.A Class and hoped that no one noticed it, but she didn't know that everyone else in the class already knows her personality well enough for them to see that she isn't an athletic person.

"Well... I have been exercising and jogging every day in this recent week."

She nodded her head at her own words. Let's go for this reason as it wasn't a lie because she did, in fact, do exercise and jogging daily in order to complete the daily quest.

『 Keep Your Body Healthy(E) 』

『

—30 squats. (30/30)

—30 push-ups. (30/30)

—Running for 1km. (1000/1000M)

Reward: +1 VIT

Punishment upon failure: -1 VIT 』

It wasn't as hard as the first time she did and finished it in no time before going to school. It's sort of disappointing that she only gets one attribute point for Vitality, but she could do it daily. If she did it for a year, her vitality would reach 360+ which she thought was pretty absurd. With that much amount of vitality, she could be considered as supernatural being already. This didn't include the Trial Tower daily quest.

『 Trial Tower 』

『 Complete one mission in the Trial Tower.

Reward: 5 Attribute Points.

Punishment upon failure: Penalty Dungeon. 』

Once the school's over, she would run back home and continue leveling up inside the Trial Tower. Since it was called as 'Tower', does it mean that she could go higher like for example; Second Floor? The first floor is probably the slime one. If it's possible, she wonders what kind of monster would come out. Perhaps, there might be a dragon in the higher floor too! After all, slaying dragon is a man romance; she's a girl though.

Suddenly, she feels the palm of hand covering her forehead. Her previous blank eyes were now focused and looked toward Ria, who was touching her forehead with her hands. Her expression appears to be that of worried.

"…what are you doing? For your information, I'm not sick."

"That's impossible! If you're not sick, how could you even do such a thing?"

Ria shouted in disbelief at her words. There was a dark expression on Sheila's face when she looked at Ria's reaction.

Smack!

"Can I hit you?"

"Ouch! You already hit me before asking!"

Ria was moaning in pain as she covered her forehead with her hands. She appears to be in so much pain from seeing her facial expression distorted into a grimace. Sheila shrugged her shoulders before saying.

"Geez, stop your overreacting. It's just a flick."

"That's the problem! How can a flick be this painful!"

After a few minutes, Ria calmed down as the pain went away. She stares at Sheila while sulking. Sheila let out a sigh before getting up and went to Ria and wrap her hand around her body.

"Yes, yes, here's the warm hug that you want."

Sheila said as she hugs while patting on Ria's back. A smile appears on her face before she wraps her hand around her best friend back feeling the warmth from the hugs.

"This is how you do it. You should give me a hug after bullying me!"

"…what do you even mean by bullying you? Geez."

Sheila chuckled and smiled warmly at her friend's antic.

***

Inside the house of the family of two, Sheila's bedroom…

A girl could be seen playing a console game, but she doesn't appear to be enjoying it, which was the expression on her face was that of bored. After a few minutes, she put the console down with a sigh.

"...maybe I should try a different type of games, something like world-building maybe?"

She looked at her phone on the side of the table and picked it up. She turns on her phone before looking at the small icon of the earth on the home screen and clicking on it.

『 Welcome to the Leveling System! 』

She was greeted by the welcome message before it vanished and replaced by the menu that appears on the screen. Currently, the only function that was unlocked is a status, quest, and inventory function while the rest was grey out, which means it is unusable since nothing happened when she tried clicking on it. When she opened her status, she could see all the fine details of her status when suddenly she noticed that there was a chibi version of her beside her status window. The chibi looked so animated and was very cute; the outfit seemed to be the same as what she was currently wearing.

"When did this appear here?"

She remembers that when she opened her status, there was only the window of her status on the screen. Did the system listen to another one of my complaints about how it doesn't feel like a game without seeing a character and update again? Sheila thought in her mind.

In most RPGs, you can see the character of your game when you opened the status screen. It also shows what the character was currently equipped, such as a weapon, armour, necklace, etc. When the first time she saw her status, she was secretly disappointed that she didn't see any character aside from the status window. But it seems that the system heard her wish and gift her with the chibi Sheila.

"If that's the case… Can you tell me your origin, system? I know that you can hear me."

A few minutes passed, yet there were no responses from the system. Sheila sighed in defeat and said.

"At least, give me some clues."

After saying that, the screen on her phone suddenly changed from her status window into a loading screen.

『 Loading…』

『 Loading…』

『 Loading…』

『 Loading…』

『 Loading…』

After waiting for a few minutes, the loading finally ends. Sheila can feel her heart beating fast as her breath become heavy while she waits for the notification.

『 The host level is currently insufficient! 』

『 Host is unable to access the system information! 』

"…I see."

With this, she has another reason to get stronger. She was definitely curious about how she got this system which was why in the past she had done her research on the internet but came up with nothing but nonsense. She appeared to be calm back then, but deep down, she was also worried, and wonders were she the only one who has it?

What if someone other than her also has it? What is the reason that this system comes to her? Is the world coming to an end? Or will someone, some kind of powerful being from either outer space or Other World was on its way to invade Earth? She didn't know the answers to all these questions. For now, she could only level up until the information could be access.
