The weird app, now with achivements?

Fredric woke to the alarm and with much more grace though still in a daze he shut it off.

He stood there a bit groggy, as the flurry of sudden movement left blood from his brain to slowly catch up.

After what felt like a minor eternity, his blank mind was brought back by the sound of a notification on the phone.

Reaching out for it while waking, he picked it up and swiped to open the reason up.

Congratulations, you gained your first achievement, this in itself is an achievement!

And then it stated a bonus “100 gems” in the same message box.

“Okaay...” he stated for himself with disinterest in his voice

After he closed that first box the other that hid beneath it showed.

Gained lust before any other relationship statistic

100 gems

He closed that one too to only get shown a third.

Have lust higher than the other relationship statistics

100 gems

“This must be a weird fucking tamagotchi game” he states mutely, but the with strangeness starting to intrigue him.

Closing that he is brought to the main screen showing him and the unknown name.

The achievements seemingly minimizing into the unknown persons profile.

“Might as well humor the game for a while, but I’m for sure talking to the phone store clerks about deleting this blatant spyware” he thinks for himself.

He clicks on the unknown profile:

Traits

“I guess I can play along, the ‘lust’ stat must be one of the locked ones” Fredric mentally rolls his eyes as he thinks it

“Wonder at what point I’ll be given the name and if there is a trait that could give this profile what they want”

He clicks the trait tree and is greeted by close to the same list he had on himself.

“Must be a way sort on related abilities” he muses as he sits on the bed and sinks into the app.

After a while of fiddling with the UI, he gets a breakdown of traits that he thinks could help this person get what she wants with his total gem count on the top.

600 gems

Mental focus - 150 gems.

The person with this trait will focus on the three biggest wants with priority going between the first, then second and third.

Exceptional drive – 200 gems.

The person with this trait will seem to find it much less tiring to work towards the three biggest wants.

Curvation – 100 gems.

This trait can be purchased multiple times with at an increasing cost; Increase the overall feminine features by 20%.

“She seems a bit conflicted about the last one judging by her dislike, smells like the game is trying to throw a spanner in the works.” He thinks as he judges the different options.

“These top ones seem to play off each other well though, should make her able to work towards her wants. I could always try the other ones later but I don’t seem to have an infinite supply of gems”

He clicks to purchase the two traits and to bring up his own profile again.

Name: Fredric Bakerson

Age: 24

Relationship: Single

Wants: Achieve a stable financial situation, make a friend or find a partner to end the solitude, find out what the increasingly intrusive app is.

Likes: Technology, reading, decorating

Dislikes: Gas stoves, people who ask the same thing over and over, reading the terms of service agreement

Traits

The break down is still a bit freaky to him but nothing new, he clicks on the traits and wonders for a second what he would like to improve his fictional self that this program managed to make fairly accurately.

“I would like to be able to talk to people better” he sighs and put in the search for a trait that would help that.

350 gems

Silver tongue – 300 gems

The muscle in your mouth becomes more adept, most notably your speech seemingly comes conveyed flawlessly.

Decisive argument - 400 gems

Your side of the argument can compel even the most entrenched zealots.

Reverberating speech – 350

Your voice can carry far and can be heard four times further than normal, if you wish.

…

There was more, but the top ones seemed the most relevant, but higher voice didn’t really seem necessary and the other one was too expensive, that just left one out.

He clicked to buy it and jokingly imitating a news reporter to test it out.

“Aaand now to the news: A real shocker, nothing happened as the button was pushed!” he said somewhat loud to himself as he put the phone back down and started about his daily morning routine.
