With a bright smile, Fenix gathered the last of the vegetables and carefully placed them in a woven basket. Suddenly, he heard the sound of wheels crunching over gravel behind him. He turned to see Macaroon approaching with a medium-sized wagon in tow.
"Oh, you're done already?" she asked, surprise evident in her voice as she glanced at the filled baskets. "I was just coming over to help since I thought it would take longer. Now I can hurry home and start dinner."
Fenix smiled and lifted the heavy basket onto the wagon with ease. As he finished, a notification appeared on his screen.

He opened his character information box and checked his recent stats:

Fenix shook his head as he saw how low his experience was. He had been playing for an hour and was still at level one. However, he wasn't upset about it. Once he had his skills in place, he knew he could level up quickly.
With a smile, he turned to see that Macaroon had finally finished loading her portion of ingredients onto the wagon and was walking over to him. "Thank you so much for your help. Would you be interested in coming to my mother's birthday surprise?"
"I would be honored," he replied, trying to sound earnest.
[System: Quest Triggered!]
Falling for his sincerity, Macaroon looked down shyly. "Actually, I could use some assistance in cooking the meal for the party, as well. Would you mind helping me?"
"I wouldn't mind at all," Fenix smiled, knowing a new quest was about to begin.

After following Macaroon back to her family's restaurant, she led him past clusters of tables to a large kitchen at the back. The sweet scent of cake filled the air as she guided him to a cozy corner where a young boy was diligently decorating a towering cake.
Ethan's eyes were fixed on his task, completely absorbed in meticulously decorating the cake. He didn't even notice them entering, lost in his own world of frosting and sprinkles.
Fenix couldn't help but smile at the sight—it reminded him of when he was younger, baking a cake for his own mother.
"Let's get to work," Macaroon said, pulling Fenix out of his nostalgia.
She directed him to a nearby counter where she had laid out ingredients for their dish. Nearby, a stove was already heating up.
"Wash and chop these vegetables we harvested," she instructed him.
