Figure out what the fuck to do next!

Getting paper from the middle of a schoolbook you start to make three lists, with a side section for each. Things that need to be done, things that you would like to do, and things that you would like to avoid. The side section was for things to help you on those paths.

For Needs, you had: Survive!

For the side parts you had: Learn to fight, Get weapons and armors, keep hidden, get supplies/ money, make allies, learn the rules and loopholes, improve stats and skills.

For Wants you had: Improve my life and ****!

For the side part you had: Improve stats and Skills. Get useful supplies/ money, don’t anger people, get laid, learn how to manipulate people, get evidence against step-family, get good grades, be more charismatic, and get allies

For Avoid you had: ****, Pain, Humiliation, poverty, imprisonment, permanent injuries, being stuck in an animal’s body, other such things.

For the side part: Improve yourself. Improve stats and Skill, get allies, don’t make people hate you, get supplies/ money, learn how to spot manipulations, don’t flunk out.

How to do all this was another matter

Hmm. All had get supplies/ money as well as improving stats and Skills and getting allies.

The allies would be hard to do. However, grinding stats or at least some would be easier.

If studying helped grind INT, then studying his school materials and figuring out homework would grind INT, help his grades, and help towards some Quests.

Exercise would grind some stats, help towards PE and might get him some more Skills.

Right. He would focus studies on the classes he needed to do, do the actual homework, and then supporting stuff, and things that might help him.

Now came the matter of how to hide his improvements.

Hmm, he was still new to area. It was just mid February, and they only moved there during the Xmass holidays. Blame it partly on differences in classes and adjusting to the move?

Past marks would he harder to cover, but hopefully ignored.

Maybe he could ask for past assignments from the school year to do for revision? That might go down well with the teachers.

Physical improvements? As long as he doesn’t go around topless most people would not notice anything.

Hmm, almost time for roll call. Better go.
