... Yes

Author's Note: Italic font can mean many things. Thinking of a person because of no POV, special system note or what perk/base manipulation of the app.

(Shuvi's POV)

Why isn't he answering? Does he think I can't see that he is online and is hearing music? Dude you need to change your status to 'offline' or at least 'absent' if you don't want to react to messages. And what the fuck is this app. 'Life Quest'. I never downloaded it but antivirus software doesn't do anything. Why did I get a ping from it with no message. I click on the icon as opening the app won't make things worse.

Congratulation! You got selected as a user for this new app 'Life Quest'. A Quest Master will give you quest you can choice to fulfill or not. Please keep in mind that a quest needs to be either fulfilled or failed before a new quest of the same type can be given out. You currently only have 2 options: view status and view quest

Ping

Your Quest Master gives you the following advanced quest: "Sent a picture of yourself to the last person you wrote:" Reward: Be closer to whomever you sent your picture. Note that advanced quest will give you more xp and rewards than basic quests.

Congratulation on getting your first advanced quest. +9xp

"FUCK!" I select view status just to curse out as I see the following informations.

Name: Mia
Surname: Walker
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Level: 1 (9/10xp)
Class: None
Perks: None
Perk Points: 0

Where the hell did this app get my informations from. Even if they are only very basic informations, they shouldn't be available. And why should I send my picture to him. For what? For him to joke about my figure? To make him laugh at me? To disappoint him and breaks his image of me?

I stare down at my hands just to notice of how much they are shaking. As I turn to my mirror, I notice of how pale I suddenly got.

Fuck. Breath. Take some deep breaths. Everything is fine. Calm down. Nobody laughs at you.

The seconds pass by and I slowly calm myself. But what if he is different? What else could happen? The next person who laughs at me and causes me to switch discords and groups. What didn't happen already? So should I send him a picture? The rewards say, that we will be closer with each other, but will it really happen? But what if it is real? Could I be close to someone who knows how I look?

Before I know it, I send him a picture of myself from my last trip to Europa in which I stand in front of a statue.

Ping

Oh gods, I did it. Why did I do that? I look at my fingers just to see them shake so much, that I won't be able to delete the picture. Please, don't be like the others. I look at the screen and notice he already sent me an answer. FUCK

Aresxd: Wow...

(Ares's POV)

"FUCK" I curse out aloud, as I see her picture and it isn't what I thought it would be like. In the picture there is a young woman who couldn't be over 20 years old. She has fiercy red hair and emereld green eyes. This combination could make someone really beautiful but there is just one problem. A big problem. She is fat. Unhealthy fat. She weight at least 150kg to 200kg while she isn't even tall. Maybe, between 155 and 165 tall. Her hair is messy, she has many pimples and there isn't even a smile on her sweaty face. However, I have Character Editor 1 and with some rewards of quest, I alreadyd can see what a beautiful woman she could become. I write her a message as fast as I can before she misinterpret my silence.

ME: Wow, why did you hide that you have such fiercy red hair and eyes like emerelds? Hehe, now I brag to Sven that I saw you. Thank you so much. I will treasure your trust in me.

I send it before thinking of the my next steps and her next quest. It is wonderful that she trust me enough with that. She probably hasn't it easy in her real life. I hope Shuvi will trust in me more. This quest must have been a bit too hard on her, so let me give her an easy one.

Your target has finished her quest. +5xp

Congratulation on creating your first advanced quest. +5xp

Your target has finished her first advanced quest while it being her first quest with a high failure chance. +5xp +5 bonus xp

You levelled up. +1 PP

I skim through them before writing her next quest, which should be easy for her.

Mia (Shuvi) will receive the following quest: "Win a game of X"

Select a rewward from the three choices:

• lose 10kg
• Gaming 1
• better understanding of that game

I choice the first reward without reading the others, as that would probably not only give her the most motivation but follows my path for her too. While I won't choice her a class without knowing what she wants to be, getting her fitter and healthier is something I won't yield at. If Shuvi had no anxieties because of her bodies, why would she hide her body from us and why would the quest have a high failure rate?

I look intensively at my screen as I wait for her answer. Cmon, what are you waiting for?

Shuvi: Hey, I need your help. Can you play with me X? I really need to win a game.

Me: Sure. No problem. Just give me a minute to start the game. With call or without call?

Please say with call. Shuvi sometimes doesn't speak with Sven or me and I hope it is not one of this day. If I want to select her class, I want to know what she wants to be or work. If I just go wild and select a class which I am fine with but she hates to ****, what is the advantage of it? Think of it like that, if I select a pet girl class for Shuvi and she hates it to her bones, where will it? Another question is what are even available? I never clicked on Add class as I don't know if I can just go back. So lets hope she trust me enough like I do her.

RING RING

Well, that answers it. She directly calls me without answering and I join her.

Shuvi says. "Hi. Are you starting the game. I must win a game, could you help?"

If there isn't one motivated, if I didn't know better, I would think it would give her money. "Sure, no problem."

Wait, that was a perfect moment to ask her what her dream job is. Why did I say yes without hesitation? Well, there are other option. Why don't I just ask her?

"You never said what your dream job is, or not? We have time before the game starts, so what job would you like to do in the future even if that job is impossible for you now." I ask her as I join her group and she directly starts the search for a game.

"Why not, but you should start. And don't hold back even if it is embarrassing." Shuvi answers.

Wow, that easy. Is her reward that strong? I don't even want to hold back anything as I say every single dream job I had. "Where do i start? The first job I really wanted to do, was being the best trainer in the word. Like you know from the anime and the games where you can catch them all. Sadly, that job has many applications but no vacancies. After that, there were some other 'jobs' and many fantasies which broke soon after."

"My condolences. And here I thought you would want to be the next astronaut or card racer. What do I get? The next nerd." She says before bursting into a fit of giggles.

"Yes, yes. The poor past me. Even the future me is influenced from him. After seeing too many harems, even I want one, but not everyone is a main character of a novel with beautiful girls chasing him. What else is there? Hm, the only other job I really wanted and want, is a job where I can just gain a lot money without doing a lot. Nothing more and nothing else. Now it is your time." What the hell, do I say?!?!? Why did I say I want a harem? Yes it is true, but why do I say it in her face? I need to be more careful with the perks and rewards which could influence me.

"Sure. What did I want to be, quite a lot. Actress, model, astronaut, heroine, saint, businesswoman, pornstar, many fantasy jobs and other 'normal' jobs which one can do. Though, one category really got me interessted. Influencers or to be exact Streamers. I would love to just sit at home, play whatever I want while gaining money. I would really love to be one but it is currently only a dream because I am never good enough at gaming nor am I beautiful enough. Ahhh and a lover who would support me through everything." Her tone goes down towards the end, as she knows that it could only be a dream.

Well, without the app. If the rewards are as strong as I think they are, it should be possible. I already saw Gaming 1 as a perk reward, so maybe I could make her dream come true.

I don't say anything for a time, as false hope is the worsed thing one could give in my opinion.

As we game begins, both of us give over 100% to win this match. It would be an easy win if there wasn't one problem. A bad teammate. But hey, after one long game, we still won.

"YES, YESYESYES!!!!" Shuvi screams me in the ear as I hear my phone vibrating because Shuvi finsihed her second quest. I am really happy for her. It looks like her figur is one big problem for. Now the questions how do I make her dream come true?

Author's Note: There will be less italic font because of this change as the story goes on. I just want you to know of how much closer they are to each other. It is the reward from an advanced quest while that being her first quest. They were not only acquaintances but friends (Shuvi a bit closer) and now they are best friend who have no problems to talk about their problems. They just trust each other that much.
