Chapter 21 by Icantwrite Icantwrite

How does Chantal react?

She deletes it.

(Chantal POV)

Man, what is this app? Is it spam or something malware installed by someone? I don't know. I will just try to uninstall. That works. I will put out a PSA about it on social media. Ask for explanations and do not get any. Like usual.

I head to work. My boss Kevin tells me tonight, people have to volunteer for a soup kitchen the company is running for charity. I nod along. Katrien has a night shift at the hospital anyway. My work at the logistics centre is back-breaking, but nobody bothers me. No one judges. Unlike my parents, they judge everyone. Most of all, never me, Robin, he or she was always the one who could do no wrong. I spend my day not seeing a single soul, sorting things, taking stock and moving them to be sent out tomorrow. My life here is away from the world, silent.

As I finish up and head to the soup kitchen. I see three familiar faces: Kevin, Steven and Hubbert-Jan. My god, which bastard names their kid two names? Couldn't they decide which name they liked best? We call him Janbert.

The three of us start handing out soup, followed by stew with bread and a piece of pie as dessert. More people than expected show up and Kevin makes a drive for more soup and bread. Meanwhile, Janbert and I have to hand out what we have. There are few, if any, who have nothing, and maybe we have just fed some hungry students. But we have fed people who felt they were needy. Kevin comes back after 30 minutes and starts heating the soup. We continue with stew whilst that is heating. This entire ordeal continued for 3 hours, but after the first, it became easier.


(Robin's POV)

I look at messages from people I follow on the Bird site. My sister removed the LifeQuest app? Is that even possible? I call Pieter. "Chantal removed the app! Is that possible?"

He thinks for a moment: "Is LifeQuest any different from a passive game like an idle game?"

"No." A chuckle can be heard from the other side. "What is so funny?"

"There are reasons there is a STEALTH master class, so that people who get the app are unaware of it. But they can still complete quests and get the rewards. The app is the courtesy, not the tool. So that means as long as she does charity, it will be clear. Will she? We don't know. But if we have two perk points for me, and the quest clears. We can make it so she is unaware of anything wrong, completes new quests."

I widen my eyes. Target Unawareness, I forgot. I saw it, and it wasn't useful at the time. This is what it was made for. "Make a quest for me when you can, Pieter. We need to level you quickly."

"I need to go to work. Call you later."

You received a quest: 'Make an appointment with your doctor about transition referral.' Reward: 'Speedy help and reduced wait time for legal change.'

Those rewards are amazing.

I immediately make the call. Waiting to get a receptionist is always hell, but quick enough. 'Tomorrow afternoon, great, ' I say as she tells me they have an open spot.

This is great, I just hope the cooldown isn't too much. For now let's just feel the flow of work then go take a walk and then do the household afterwards stream. That is another 15 immediately that I can control.

The afternoon comes with an extra quest. 'Wear a butt plug for an hour.' Reward: perk: Anal I, Accessorise I. These rewards, however, seem naughty and nice. Well, I won't let the hogwash bother me. I will wear it during my walk. Wait a sec, the reward for the walk quest requires me to have interacted with people. We roll with it.

Of course, today I meet half the neighbourhood as I am teasing myself. Good thing I got a huge boost. But ohh god do I feel shame and arousal. I head home and text Pieter my experience. He responds: 'Hot! Did you want to repeat it? Or more a curious thing that happened, but please never again?' I dare not respond. I dare not tell him. Yes, please give me these horny quests. Please make me wear toys outside for everyone to see. A text comes in. 'NO answer will mean make me. You didn't say make me do so. You could have not told me, but you did. I believe you can always refuse.' I take a deep breath, and he has caught on. 'You are correct, Pieter.'

Around four, the next quest pops up: 'Cook a three-course meal for you and your parents.' Reward: perk: Cooking I, refund for all ingredients. I head to the store and grab all the ingredients for the best three-course meal I can make. Salmon sashimi as an appetiser, steak, potatoes and greens, followed by fresh apple pie with vanilla ice cream. Partially cause I can cook a bunch of that in advance, and it doesn't overlap.

Dad is surprised by the steak and Mom by the salmon. But we do have a great meal together. They just hope I am not spending above my means. I told them it was fine. I saved up for moments like these, and I had a partner email in the pocket. I didn't think the app gave me all that money.

Around eight, I get a quest. 'Stream 3 different games while keeping 50% of max audience' Reward: accelerated acceptance into partner program, Perk: streaming II. Frick, that is hard, but I might squeeze by.

I try and play five daily challenge games. Quest completed..... That was anti-climactic, my numbers increased during that, but all five were above half the top, which was 20. So it counted because it was technically in. Good to know for later. As I'm streaming Pieter texts: 'She completed the quest. Some time ago, I earned enough to get the perk. I will give her a new quest with unawareness on.' I react thumbs-up emoji. And continue the stream. I decide to talk about why I feel like I should be a woman. The euphoria I feel when others acknowledge me as such. When I do feminine things. The joy it brings me.

What will Chantal's next quest be?
