After saying proper goodbye's to her viewers (not the sad type), Lilia then devoted her attention to the system prop ups.
Seeing it's contents, her long time forged gaming side then resurfaced.
"Numbers are now displayed beside my level.... This is probably my experience points."
"And the skills that I received upon completion of the mission..... Are all passive and not active??"
Lilia began to contemplate on this. Having these skills which are passive skills were not bad. However, the words "increases chances" were on its description which then completely discerns the term percentage.
Yes, percentage. Which then implies that, there is a chance that the skill will activate. And a chance that the skill won't activate.

And basing on the skills rank...... With it being passive......
Lilia then raised her hands and let her body fall into the bed.
"Ahhhh..... Why am I being serious about this... My gaming side just appears whenever I see those prop ups."
"Moreover, why do I feel inclined to complete this things. I should be worried about it instead."
*Bing*

Lilia stared blankly at this prop up.
"....."
"Sys?"
"It's barely even the first day. And now your dropping this."
"And now."
"I only have three letter for you."
"W. T. @#$&!"
"SYS!!!!"
The day have barely passed and it was just about to be afternoon when she finished her first mission. And yet now.... The system threw two new more missions at her.
Moreover, these two new missions had harder objectives than the other three.
If she were to rank her missions, then the first three would fall to the idle section while the two newcomers would fall on the white collar slave section.
This system..... Was truly crappy!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk....."
"The first new mission..... Is what now!!"
What was with this mission?! The system literally just inserted bullsh*t on it. What do you mean disgusted by going down the stairs?? Doing this has made her fit! Why would she get disgusted by this.
And what's with the relation of getting the idea and getting hit by a truck?!
A DIY elevator? Build it on the third floor of your home? Bullsh*t! Who would build an elevator on the third floor of their home!!
"I would host."
"Shut up you crappy system person killer."
"....."
"God, I'd rather build an escalator or an slide rather than an DIY elevator."
"Do you have the materials host?"
"I said shut up!"
"Lilia! Who are you cursing up there!"
"Oh ¥#€$! Uh, um, no one auntie!"
"Don't you no one me young lady I heard it loud and clear! I am going up there!"
"Deep robotic voice. Activate funeral music for our dear host is dead just because of her cursing me."
*Searching for, "funeral music" on system archive*
*Searching.... searching....*
*Error. There is no data for "funeral music" on system archive*
"What the hell are you two doing?!"
"What two?! Oh no you young lady, who's in there with you?!"
"Th-there's no one with me auntie!"
"I'm coming in!!"
"Tuuu-tu-tu-tuuuu. Tuuu-tu-tu-tuuuu.... Don't worry host. For I the great system, has a revive system to help you live through the torture that is about to happen."
"WAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

The Spark
Michael Locke was a normal student, who went through his normal day in a normal fashion, until the day became... unnatural. Shot into the country of Aldemar and thrust into a new world alongside his many classmates, he agrees to work for the king in exchange for shelter and to learn magic. Fate however, is indifferent to his wishes, as he quickly realizes that he may be a hero, but his purpose in this world is quite opposite. Suddenly surrounded on every side, Michael must work to survive, and if anyone finds his secret... He's as good as dead. The Spark is meant to be a murder mystery style isekai, focused on the existence of basically an anti-hero, with every one of the large amount of heroes attempting to discover who the traitor is. This isn't made to be a lovey dovey easy going isekai with an OP mc, it's made to stir around an emotional story, with many dark tones. Still, the goal is to stay fairly light hearted as well, and the perspective will pass around to several characters throughout the story.

Saga of Fallen Kings, Book I: The Revenant Prince
The Philosopher King once conquered the known world, his power seemingly unlimited and his armies inexhaustible. Since that time his might has slowly unravelled, and his once steadfast empire has begun to crack, splinter and devour itself. In the isolated Southern Realms, where even magic has abandoned them, none of that matters. For years it has been filled with warring kingdoms, where as many kings die to the blade as to old age, and constant battles tear apart the land. When one such kingdom invades its old enemy, the King and his heir, Prince Caden, are killed. Unable to accept the loss of his family Prince Arian is broken, and when the Philosopher King stretches out his hand in aid, Arian takes it without a second thought. When Caden wakes from death, he's different. His eyes and soul have changed, and he finds a world filled with friends who no longer trust he's even human. Suddenly thrust onto the throne and indebted to the Philosopher King, Caden has no choice but to keep going - he must finish what his father started, and try to survive the machinations of the figure who now owns his fealty. Meanwhile something beyond death stirs for him, desiring nothing more than to drag him back into its embrace. Author's Note: This story used to be known as "A King of his Own", but after some consideration I have decided to rebrand it. The first reason is that I was growing increasingly dissatisfied with the title. The second is that I have come increasingly to view this story as a 'saga' containing multiple 'books' rather than one long, continuous publication, and as I did so I realized that as I was quickly getting to a point in the story where I wanted the first 'book' to end. This doesn't mean I'm going back on the things I said below - they're just going to continue in the next book of the Saga of Fallen Kings. :) Also, be aware that I do plan to edit this at some point. Though I take care to squash out any obvious errors when I proof-read, and do simple edits in that process, at some point I'm almost certainly going to do large edits that might significantly change parts of the story. Old author's notes: This started as a completely random writing session. There was no purpose or direction, but as I kept typing an entire world began to form in my mind that I knew I had to write about. My plan is to turn this story into a veritable medieval fantasy epic that spans an entire world, follows multiple character and storylines, and takes place over many years. The story has quite a grounded, almost 'realistic' start, but many more fantastical elements will be introduced, expanded upon and become central to the narrative. I have ideas for this story that make me genuinely excited and I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy writing it, and join me on what will hopefully become a truly massive fantasy epic. If you do enjoy this story please consider following, rating and leaving a review. I'm also happy to answer any questions or comments you have.
