After eating the little they had, the children prepared for sleep, lying down on their straw beds and covering themselves with relatively clean rags. It didn't take long for Jenny and Aron to fall asleep. Their steady breathing, mixed with Aron's light snoring, reached Twig's ears, who was now trying to converse with the system to check his progress on the day's completed quests.
Status, he thought.

"System, where are my stats? Why didn't I gain experience from the completed quests?"
[Ding!]User, you must request the reward for the quests you have completed. It is not automatic; you need to ask. At the right moment, gaining experience from a completed quest can provide enough EXP to level up and restore your HP and SP during combat. If you use your head, it's much more useful this way, don't you think?
"Hmm, understood. Then, release the rewards."

Twig felt a warmth spread through his body. He felt revitalized, as if he hadn't spent the whole day working and had just woken up.
[Ding!] [LEVEL UP] +1[Ding!] [JOB LEVEL UP] +1[Ding!] Congratulations, user! You have reached Level 2. Your job has also reached Level 2.
Twig immediately mentally requested his status.

"Wow, awesome! Now I have 5 stat points to distribute. How cool!" Twig exclaimed. "Wait… why don't I have any skill points to distribute? System, what's going on?"
[Ding!]Dear user, as a Novice, you don't have multiple skills. When you level up your job, the point is automatically used to level up the basic skill, the only one a Novice possesses.[Ding!]Now that you have reached Job Level 2, you can use the Skills option. Just think about it and the menu will open.
"Got it!" Twig replied, and immediately thought: Skills.
[Novice Basic Skill][Level: 1]Name / Function: AppraisalDetailed Description: Allows examination of items, objects, and living beings, revealing their basic information and properties.
"Wow! The legendary skill every transmigrator must have… Appraisal!" Twig exclaimed. "But wait… this skill doesn't exist in the Ragnarok Online game. System, what's going on?"
[Ding!]User, the answer is simple. Ragnarok Online was only used as a reference to define the parameters of your system. Not all mechanics and structures of the game were implemented here. Some effects and procedures were adapted to work in this world.
"I see… System, that makes sense," Twig reflected. "If I remember correctly, a Novice's basic skills are things like creating groups, chat, item exchange… things that wouldn't make much difference to me. Can I see the levels of the next skills and what they do?"
[Ding!]User, at the moment you do not have access to the information about the next skills. When you level up, they will appear automatically. But don't worry: once you get your first class, you will be able to identify the Skills in the skill tree. This way, you can manually choose the evolution of your own power.
"Jeez… so I'll have to manage on my own until then. I just have to hope for better skills."
"System! How do I distribute the attribute points I've accumulated?" Twig asked.
[Ding!]User, just like opening menus, you must think about the action to perform it. Think about which attribute you want to increase and by how much, specifying how many of your accumulated points will be spent.
"Alright then… let's see. How do I do this now?" Twig thought. "I think I should distribute my attributes based on the quests I'll do tomorrow. System, what will tomorrow's quests be? Will they be the same as today's?"
[Ding!]Dear user, the quests will always be the same until you reach level 5. After that, there will be no more quests. Experience gain will come from defeating enemies.
"Well… I have 5 points. For these quests, I think the four main attributes — Strength, Vitality, Agility, and Dexterity — will be the most useful. Luck probably doesn't matter much, right? And my Intelligence is already quite high, so I don't need to increase it now," Twig reflected. "But one point will still be left… where should I put it? Hm… System, what do you recommend?"
[Ding!]User, to help you last longer and face less difficulty completing your tasks, I believe Vitality is the most suitable attribute. This way, you will have more stamina to carry out your work.
"Makes sense," Twig reflected. "Alright then, I'll distribute 1 point in Strength, 2 in Vitality, 1 in Agility, and 1 in Dexterity."

"Wow! My stats are still low, but it's a big improvement," Twig thought. "Strength, Agility, and Dexterity increased by 50%, and my Vitality doubled. Wow… I feel like a whole new person!"
"I'd better sleep now… tomorrow will be the same all over again. But this time it will be different, because now I'm stronger. Good night, System!"
[Ding!] Good night, my host.
