"Ha..."
Aiden's jaw fell as he looked down at the quest that appeared before him as he thoroughly brushed his teeth.
"I'm sorry, death?"
The toothpaste foam in his mouth caused his words to come out somewhat scattered.
But the system did not respond. Aiden washed his mouth quickly and after taking his bathe put on a casual tracksuit.
"Since it is going to be like this, I should try to give it my all, shouldn't I?"
Aiden said as he looked at his phone screen to be sure of the time.
"11:22AM... I hope it's not late to go to the gym."
Certainly, starting a gym routine can be daunting, but with determination and consistency, Aiden could actually achieve his one-minute-ago goal of becoming stronger.
He wasn't dumb, the system really is a blessing to him but if he truly wants to take advantage of this opportunity then he had to make sure that he doesn't rely too much on the system.
As Aiden walked into the gym, he was greeted by the sound of weights clanging and the sight of people pushing themselves to their limits. He gulped as he began to think of the tough road ahead of him. He made his way to the free weights section and found a bench press station that was available. He loaded up the bar with plates, checking and double-checking the weight to make sure he was pushing himself but not overdoing it.
Aiden positioned himself on the bench, taking a deep breath and gripping the bar tightly. He slowly lowered the bar to his chest, feeling his chest muscles and arms working hard. He then pushed the weight up, feeling his muscles contract and the rush of adrenaline coursing through his veins.
The problem started after he lowered the bar to his chest the second time, trying to push it up became a big problem. He had gotten naughty in one or two successful push and now his hands shivered like they were stricken with unreasonable cold.
Just when his hand was wabout to give out, another hand joined him.
"Hey, steady, steady..."
The slivery voice that sounded right above him as the lady helped him to hang the weight brought calmness to his chest– perhaps it was the thought of being saved that brought the true calmness but Aiden couldn't tell for now because the lady that stood in front of him was truly splendid.
When he started dating Amby, he had thought he was never going to meet any other beautiful lady like her but this... this... lady...
The lady stood before Aiden, wearing a comfortable yet stylish gym outfit that allows her to move freely while also showing off her athletic figure. Her hair is pulled back into a practical yet fashionable ponytail, framing her face and accentuating her high cheekbones and bright, expressive eyes. She wore a friendly smile that lights up her face and made her approachable.
"H-Hi?"
Aiden stuttered, waving his hand and realize what the hell he needed to wave his hand for only after dropping it.
"You should have started from the lowest bar, you could get yourself killed you know?"
Athens lady's genuine worry sounded so sweet and created a space that made Aiden desire to listen more to her worry about him.
"If you want, I could help you?"
She stated to Aiden with a small yet cute smile thay brought of the glow of her brown eyes.
"Yes."
Aiden replied almost immediately she asked.
[Emergency side quest generated]
> Collect the pretty gym lady's contact and invite her to a date tomorrow night.
> Quest reward: +2 blue cards, +1 green card, +5 stat points.
> Quest failure: You will be shamed before your ex.
'Eh?'
Aiden tried his best not to let out any weird gesture lied down reading the message that floated in front of his house.
"Are you set?"
"Yes."
From there on, things became easy for Aiden but it was especially hard trying to resist the look of her tight gym pants that accentuated her thighs and made countless men gulp– with the pungent scent that she exuded as she slowly leaned towards him as he pushed the weight higher.
After a few more rounds, they concluded the training and—
"I'm sorry, can I?..."
"You want my number?"
She completed Aiden's statement with a blank stare at him, with a subtle change in the air around her, immediately making her unapproachable.
'Shit... the system has ruined me.'
"I'm sorry–
"Come on, I'm just kidding."
Her entire demeanor switched instantly to an even better atmosphere thay invited Aiden but he was still cautious. He respectfully placed his phone as she stretched her hand forward.
She returned the phone to him with a smile and walked away. Aiden watched her rear jiggle one after the other she walked away, theybwerent massive but rather were the perfect size for her lithe body, however one could not miss the fact that she had invested a lot of work out time on them, including her waist and curves.
Aiden sighed after she had left the gym and felt like cursing the system. But he was atleast happy that s few rewards came in without much stress.
Aiden looked down expecting the system to say something about the quest completion and give him his rewards.
But...
"quest information?"
He muttered.
[Emergency Quest]
> Collect the pretty gym lady's contact and invite her to a date tomorrow night.
> Quest reward: +2 blue cards, +1 green card, +5 stat points.
> Quest failure: You will be shamed before your ex.
He was just seeing it clearly.
"A date tomorrow night? And moreso, I will be shamed before Amby if I fail to complete the quest?"
Aiden was stricken with a sudden fear as he read the message over and over again. The idea of being shamed before Amby was annoying but the last time he ever asked a girl out was five years ago. How exactly was he supposed to handle this predicament?
Aiden stared into his phone in the night, it has been two hours since he sent her a 'HI' There has been no response and he was beginning to think–'Perhaps she gave me the contact so she would portray herself as a rude person...I heard girls like her can be very hard to get...And I doubt if she's single because, she's pretty, even prettier than Amby. She probably has a rich guy somewhere taking care of her with no stress. Come on Aiden let's not shoot higher than we can manage. Amby has taught me enough lesson...'Then he looks at the quest failure...'Then again, things have changed. Before, I didn't have the system, but now I have the system. I can do this, I can be a better man.'All these thoughts roamed his head, moving him back and forth till his eyes became dizzy and started to close slowly. buzz buzzThe vibration of the received message prompted his half-asleep eyes to open completely. Aiden sharply brought the screen to his face in anticipation. >> Hello Was what he
Aiden lived every moment in anticipation of how the evening was going to be. He had never felt like this in his entire life, not even when he was trying to get Amby, that could be considered as a school thing, when he was a school boy but this date was a different level.He was going to meet a voluptuous and beautiful woman– he is going g to have a date with her just a day after meeting her. And compared to other ladies he had ever met this woman would make them into unseen ghost. No one would see them as long as she was around. Aiden didn't need to pick out a clothe, he did had a few hardship choosing in between going for a denim dress or just wearing his new grey suit. After a long time of confusion he decided to stick to his instinct and go for the suit, also he didn't forget to do his hair. He had wanted to do it before but forgot when he went shopping. But he made sure he didn't forget this time around. The sky starts to change colors as the sun began to set transitioning from
"What? Aiden, what are you doing here?" She inquired with a shy smile, stuttering along the way. "Oh, I was on a date... and you? Were you on a date too." "So, you left your date over there to come to me? Should I be thankful?" Her voice was beginning to change. "What do you mean? No you shouldn't, I just came to see how dreadful you would be without me. Amby, you are the worst, you kicked me out after taking everything from me. At first I thought it was the end but it looks like this is just the beginning Amby. I will show you... just how much you have lost by losing me." He declared to her with a grin and walked away– seating in front of his date. "So, the reason why you have not experienced some things is because you have been in a relationship... all the while."Aiden smiled as she caught up real quick despite the fact that all he said before leaving was 'Excuse me for a moment' before leaving her to meet Amby."I guess you are quick-witted than I thought." She let out a c
"It's okay, I can take care of this." Athena said as she observed Aiden."No, it is totally okay. I got this." Aiden replied her and stood up. "Excuse me for a moment" He said and made his way to the toilet. Athena smiled as she watched him hurry to the toilet in his fine suit. "He's cute" she muttered. "What should we do ma'am?" "It's fine. Just put on my tab but you don't have to tell my father, the only reason why I chose this place is because the cooking reminds me of mum." "I understand ma'am, the chairwoman developed all the recipes we use today. Surely this is place is a good memory of her." The waiter bowed and walked away, by the looks of how he talked and address Athena, he didn't seem to be just a regular waiter. Even his looks were old and no doubt he was in his forties.[Regealing green card][You have gained $1,000][Revealing blue card][You have gained $100][Revealing blue card][You have gained $100]Aiden looked at his account balance, $360.

But it was different now.The future Aiden could only dream of seemed feasible now.That was why he woke up with renewed vigor and determination to make sure he makes it. But he had to progress with this main quest that was before him. Which meant that he needed to take his gym sessions more seriously."I should consider learning how to throw effective blows."He mumbled to himself as he jogged down the street in the early hours of the day before dawn.[Emergency Quest Generated]He grinned as he came to an abrupt stop.'Finally, another chance.'[Emergence quest]> A car of smugglers is being pursued by the police.

Aiden after the successful morning was here again... in the gym but this time a different section."I want to learn boxing.""You want to learn boxing... you." The boxing coach looked at Aiden sizing him up with his gaze at the same time mocking his sheepish confidence. To him Aiden was clearly like a high schooler who got bullied and wanted to learn to fight in order to fight back– the entire idea of that feel wasn't a bad thing. But Aiden isn't an high schooler, the fact that he looked that way to the gym instructor wasn't a good first impression."You got money?""How much is the subscription fee?""three hundred for sign up one fifty consequent month or you can just do a thousand for the year.""Coach are you really going to..." One of the boxers around whispered from behind the coach."Shut up," The Coach whispered back."But coach, look at this guy, it'd probably take five years to get him in shape.""Hey don't talk about a man like that, it's rude. He looks like he's got money.
Aiden's punch folded into the dark-skinned guy's defense.Defense?That was not enough to stop the monstrous force that Aiden pulled with that punch as if he was being attacked by an hurricane, the dark-skinned guy blew out of the ring slamming on the brick wall of the gym and falling to the ground.The cheering crowd went silent in a dot. And everything was like there was never noise. Even Athena couldn't help her widened eyes."Well... that's what happen when you judge a book by it's cover. Give me my wins..." The coach said to the guy next to him with a big smile."Coach what?" Another boxer, shocked at the coach asking for betting money inquired."What? I put a hundred on the newbie.""WHAT?!"All of them choruses together as the coach collected his wins with a big wide smile. The next minute everyone had totally forgotten that Gerb was knocked out of the ring and even passed out...."Wow... that was a hell of a punch.""Ha ha... I didn't even know how that came through. I just f
"Come to think of it. If I get a weapon like a sword that means I don't have to stress myself. I can be a good swordsman without actually learning thanks to that weapon Attunition skill." Aiden rubbed his chin as he came to this realization.He put the bat into his inventory as the bus came....Several minutes later Aiden got off the bus but not at the usual location, instead he was heading to a supposedly traumatizing scene. He reached the alley where he was attacked and tried to sort out the picture of each of those guys but he still couldn't figure it out."Damn, this is going to be hard." He muttered as he scratched his head and looked around. He walked further looking for closed alleys where delinquents would be hanging out.After a while of searching he finally found one but in that regard the system greeted him with another emergency quest.[Emergency Quest]> Teach the high school delinquents a lesson and make them realize smoking is bad, they should stay more in school and l
