Friday
Beep. Beep. Beep.
A blue window appeared over Danny's sleeping face.
You have completed a long rest. You restored HP and EP to 100%. You cured all ailments and negative status effects.
Not noticing what happened, Danny flailed his arm around to turn off the alarm clock and incidentally closed the window. Finally deciding to get up, he walked to the bathroom to wash away his morning face.
"What the..." Danny stared at his reflection, specifically the lines of text above his head.
Danny F.
LV 2
"Level 2?" Danny muttered. He rubbed the mirror where the text was, only for nothing to happen. He moved left and right, and the words followed above him. 'Oh, God. What's happening to me now?.' He waved his hands above his head to try and touch them, only to feel nothing. 'Is this some weird ghost thing? Is this because of what happened last night?' He panicked. 'How am I supposed to hide this? My parents might think I'm being haunted or possessed by ghost letters. I need to get out of here!' He opened the door to sneak back to his room only to freeze at the sight of the person before him: his mom.
Maddie Fenton smiled brightly at her son. "Morning, Danny. Are you done with the bathroom?"
'Oh, god!' "Uh... Morning to you too, Mom." 'She hasn't said anything yet.' He tested his luck and asked the obvious question. "How do I look?" He braced for an overreaction and received none.
Maddie cooed and pinched her son's cheek. "Like my handsome young boy."
Danny wasn't sure what to do for a second. 'What? Can't she see it? I mean, that's good.' He smiled back at her, but his eyes widened when he looked above her head.
Maddie F.
Maddie noticed her son's blank stare. "Are you alright, son?" She turned around, ready for a fight. "Do you see a ghost?!"
Pulled out of his stupor, he tried to recover. "What? No! I-I'm just a little bit groggy."
Coming to a calmer state, she nodded at his answer. "Well, once you get dressed, can you take out last night's trash? Your father forgot to do it after dinner."
Danny moved out of her way as she went into the bathroom and closed the door, leaving him alone in the hallway.
You have received your very first quest.
"Ah!" Danny jumped as a blue window appeared before him. Another window appeared soon after.
"Danny, are you okay?" called his mom.
He pressed his back against the door. "I'm fine, Mom. It was just, uh, a roach on the wall." He turned back to the floating screens. 'Quests? That was never in Doomed.'
Milestone Quest
Objective: Take out the trash.
Time Limit: 30 Minutes
[Accept Y/Deny N]
The window hovered there for a while, and Danny stood utterly still. 'What is going on?!' Danny grabbed his temple and shook it to clear his head. 'Am I going crazy?' Taking a breath, he steadied himself. Slowly, he reached out with his right hand toward the quest window. 'If it's just in my head, I won't feel anything. Right?' Slowly, his hand approached the screen. He felt resistance as he pressed 'yes.' 'Oh, god. It is real!' He needed to lie down. Dragging himself to his room and curled into the bed. "Great... Now I'm even more of a freak," he muttered.
