Chapter 2 - Quest? (Currently Editing, I Think)
"Sheila, why are you not leaving yet? The school already over."
The girl who was absentmindedly staring at the air suddenly twitched, and when she looked around, she noticed that it was just her and her best friend left. The others have already left.
"O-Oh. Sorry, I'll be going then."
Sheila cleans up her desk by putting everything into her bag and then walk away. But before she could get out of the class, she was stopped by Ria at the doorstep.
"Are you okay? You didn't seem to be focusing on today's studies at all."
Ria asked worriedly. She had always occasionally stared at others while the teacher was talking, and this time, she saw Sheila acting weird. Although Sheila was not the type to focus on a study like a particular Class Leader, She's also didn't just stares into the air while at the same time giggling like an idiot either. Perhaps, she was sick? Maybe she should get a check-up.
"I-I'm fine! Really! I'll be going then. See you later, Ria!"
Cilia watched her best friend leaving silhouette as one thought appears in her mind.
"She's hiding something from me, huh."
***
Sheila looked back, and when she didn't see anyone, she let out a relieved sigh before a strange expression appears on her face as she thought of her best friend, Cilia(Ria). Her best friend is smarter than her, which meant that her best friend knew she was hiding something. It was partly her fault for acting weird in class. She knew that her best friend sometimes could be seen looking at others while listening to the teacher. Anyway, for now, she could only hide it from her best friend and family.
Sheila put her hand into her pocket before pulling out a smartphone from it. She input her lock screen password, and the phone was unlocked. She stares at the one particular icon on the home screen for a while before trying to uninstall it, but it was a wasted effort. No matter how she tried to uninstall it, she couldn't do it. It's like the app has become one of the system apps, which in turn make it impossible to uninstall it. Perhaps formatting it might work? But she doesn't want to do that. It was not because of the precious games that she didn't want to do it, Absolutely.
When she has given up on uninstalling the app, she clicked on it, and the cause of her acting weird in class appears.
『 Quest has been created! 』
『 Finish Your Homework! (E) 』
『 You should do your homework that was given by the Math Teacher.
Deadline: Tomorrow
Reward: <10 Experience & Inventory Unlocked>
Punishment upon failure: <-1 INT> 』
When she saw this window popping out in her phone in class, she was speechless. When she was checking out the app, she also looked into the <Quest> that was also unlocked. She thought what kind of absurd quest would appear in such a realistic world, is it killing wild animals? Or perhaps, beating the thugs like the old RPG? But both are not something that the current her could do, and her strength is even weaker than average girl after all. Hence, she didn't expect to see such a quest popping out.
The quest is not that particular hard or anything she could do it quickly. Occasionally, she did miss out her homework and get punished by the teacher. But that was because she was just like any teenage out there. She wants to have fun, which makes her forget about the homework. By the time she noticed it, it was already too late. She blamed her precious games. How could it be so much fun!
Joking aside, She looks toward the reward and wholly ignored the punishment. It's inventory, you know! In most RPG games, the inventory is limitless and the time is frozen in it. It was a godly item. She was imagining how her back wouldn't be hurt anymore by carrying the bag to school or how she could put the console games inside it and bring it out to secretly play inside the class. Oh! Such a heavenly dream!
Of course, she didn't miss out the ten experience that she would receive, which will result in levelling her up to Level 1 from 0. It means that she would officially enter the game. But before that, she had to do the homework.
***
Inside Sheila's bedroom, there was a figure of a girl that seems listless as she rests her head on top of the table. In front of her head, there was a book that appears to be filled with answers and the pencil beside her right hand.
"I'm finally done with this hellish.. work."

Looking at the window screen on her phone, Sheila seems to be lost in thought for a moment before exiting the status window and clicked on <Inventory>, and a new window pops up.
『 Inventory:
-Newbie Gift Pack 』
What she saw was inventory storage like that of an RPG, and the only thing inside is something that looks like a gift pack with the word (Newbie Gift Pack) on it. A gift pack for a newbie huh? How nostalgic. I remembered the good old times when I was happy getting it once before. But when I opened it, what I got was a massive disappointment. She wonders what will she get from this gift pack, is it an ultimate skill? Or Super Freaking Overpowered Items? Perhaps, An automata that have a great butt?1
Just thinking about it already makes her heart beat faster and faster, but she soon calmed herself. A wise once said, Being excited wouldn't get you an SSR. Before clicking on the gift pack, she walked toward her bathroom and washed her hands clean with the soap. But the ritual hasn't ended yet, and there is still one more to do. She graciously sits on her chair as she put her phone on the table before taking a praying pose as she wishes silently in her mind. Oh Dear God RNG, Please give me your blessing. After making the praying pose for a few minutes with her eyes closed, She soon opened her eyes wide that is filled with determination. Without further due, she clicked on the gift pack.
