Wellyn my man.

Teyo sat up off the ground. Even though he only had one video he has gained a few hundred thousand subscribers on Viewtube. He didn't really know where to begin with it, because he has never had a job. 12 grand was infinitely more than he ever imagined he would make. He had to input banking information which again he didn't have. But after a few minutes online he just linked an online banking service and was set to go. He next began to read comments and wanted to reply to them. After reading a few some just made him face palm while other were a bit over the top. There were also obviously trolls in the mix, so without falling for any sort of traps he opted to just like comments. This went on for awhile.

Teyo still had a bit over an hour before he could log in. So he searched viewtube for a specific video. The roles of a restaurant. He knew the obvious ones like chef, waiter, dishwasher, busboy, and cashier. However he didn't know about an expediter, there were bound to be more positions and responsibilities that he could learn of. Another reason is even though he could throw food on the pan.. he knew that there were some pretty serious basics he didn't have. Outside of making sandwiches, cooking in the microwave, or boiling ramen or noodles, he could only attempt to imitate. He began to dive into the basics throigh many videos. With a self reflection he knew, his cutting and chopping technique were plain and wasteful, he obviously never cared to worry about the sterilization of utensils or ingredients. He used improper temperatures which is why his meat either stuck to the pan and burned, or barely got cooked.

He began to notice a trend. It all pointed to the environment, and the utensils. Teyo had the most basic knife, not even a kitchen knife a plain knife like one that would be kept on a hunters hip, small. And a pan. A cast iron pan that most people would have. That's it, no soap to wash his hands or utensils, not a quick access to wash the ingredients found. He had bitten into sand plenty while there.

" Maybe these small steps could really help improve my overall bottom line."

Teyo couldn't help but realize that also using the pan as a weapon was a quick way to ruin this ideology. Not to mention, the pan itself only gave him a defensive bonus. He's basically been swinging a shield. The knife he had was also so small that he hardly felt it would serve him well enough. Even though he could be sneaky and it would work well in those cases, it was also a good kitchen utensil, and a very important one at that. That left Teyo little choice but to get over the fact that the hand axe was an felt not as at home with his style of fighting. He chuckled that the pan felt better. He promised himself that he would use it with the pan, and use the pan more so as a shield next time he played. Speaking of which that time quickly approached.

Teyo had been waiting all day and was so eager to log in. He grabbed his helmet and lied down. He pressed the button and closed his eyes. He felt the weight of his body leave with his breath and in the next inhale he opened his eyes. Again the blank pure white void appeared before him. All that was here was the living room furniture he used last to watch his recording.

" Spex, You there? "

A moment later Spex stepped in front of Teyo from seemingly nowhere but passed his shoulder. " I'm here. How are you doing today Teyo? Would you like to hear about the updates I have made?"

" Oh. Uhm Sure, Also What else can you do with recordings? You made the highlight reel but can I add some commands? Would you be able to use them while I was in game? "

" Yes and no, outside of monitoring the games performance, recording and emergency alerts are all that I can do. Would your commands fall under those categories?"

" Yes, When i ask can you add things to the highlights? There are some things that would be easier found in that way. Also please use voice altering on my voice whenever applicable. That's basically it. It will help when I edit. Anyways what were the updates you made? "

" Since your last play I updated your game Wish Legacy. A new menu can be accessible through the app store as well as in game. Only in game currency is available to be spent on our app store. Also and most notably the console time has been improved with the data collected from your first use, now up to twelve hours can be played before you must take a break. Originally the maximum at launch was set to ten hours, but with all of the applicable data, a performance adjustment has been made and as time goes on progress shall continue to be made. I have also identified 2 new items for you to use here on your home space. Would you like to see them now?"

Teyo was ecstatic more game time! Also items for his home space? " Yeah sure let's see them! "

Spex the summoned a table and on it was his pan and knife. She waved her hand over them as if presenting them for show.

Teyo looked at them, surprised but not at the same time. Nearly his entire journey in Wish Legacy yesterday was made with these in hand. He chuckled and then said

" Thank you. How exactly do you create items for this space? What warrants the reason to fabricate them here?"

" After reviewing your emotional responses, these items held significance. We want you to have a warm home screen full of things that help showcase who you are. Overtime additional factors and other things may continue to provide more options and help you fill the place with more of, you."

Teyo looked at the pan and knife. He picked them up and set them down.

" What the hell am I supposed to do with this? Next time get stuff that I can use. Or at least some ingredients with these. Thanks though they're great uh... decorations. "

Spex closed her eyes and nodded. she then pulled up the app store and showed Teyo the updated menu. " Here is the game item shop. And when you would like to enter the game simply say so." With that she bowed and stepped away. Teyo watched her walk, eventually she just disappeared.

He stepped up to the menu screen in front of him. He saw a tab marked Barter and another Sell. Clicking on the Sell tab in which only two sections were available Consumable and Gear. Within each tab a tier list appeared given Teyo some wonderful insight.

Barter-

Sell-

Consumable-

Gear-

-Shame (728903472)

-Praise (52678)

-Honored (0)

-Renowned (0)

-Regal (0)

-Law (0)

Realizing the actual depth of which item tiers there were made teyo wonder how astounding the items could be. The abundance of items on the shame list were boggling and yet understandable. He began to browse a plethora of Shame tier items. Most were basic class starting gear. It seems either folks are dying or, around other people who were dying. There was a trend here and many of the items were being sold for simply one dull experience gem. That notion again gave Teyo some great insight. He hadn't an idea of what categorized the experience gem what he expected was size considering he had met beasts of different size experience gems. The goblins had small rock sized gems and the bats had finger nail sized stones. Reilly even gave him that were more cylindrical. Assuming that size didn't matter he began to think of the gems themselves, and indeed none of them really held any luster. Clicking over to the Barter tab Teyo's expectations were shocked. There was again another list of things here but they were all professions or skill sets. The tabs were as follows.

Smith, Apothecary, Page, Doctor, Bounty Hunter, Chef, Body Guard, Mender, Tinkerer, Hemming, and Gatherer. Teyo quickly clicked over to the Chef tab. Laughably he stared at the page and it's few inserts. The majority of them offered bat meat squewers a few standouts tried to claim they were TheDungeonChef and we're trading goblin meat on a stick. The lack of creativity left him feeling like the superior Dishwasher tier eater. Clicking over the other tabs he became a bit more disappointed. Nothing to expect of value here at this stage, it's barely day two anyway. Buying or selling or improper use of time may be a big blunder. On the other hand if there was anyway he could monopolize the fact that he knew how to gain experience selling things for gems would be great. But the lack of really widely known useful things made him realize that this would only really evolve with the player base.

" Better not jump the gun on anything. Anyways let's go read that rule book, Spex launch Wish Legacy." The scene once again darkened and he felt himself begin to float. Then in front of him a bright light flashed then dimmed into the shape of a door. Once again his feet touched ground but in the darkness all that could be seen was the door. Opening it Teyo could see the inside of the bar where Wellyn was in the back just wiping out another mug casually. Teyo stepping in the door from the darkness, the door closing behind him.

" Hey there ladd. Ready for another round? " He said as he placed the mug on the counter and grabbed another.

Teyo looked at him and then around the empty bar again. " Who're you cleaning the cup for? And actually I need to read the rule book."

Wellyn's eye opened wide." *ahemm. It uh just gives me something to do. Anyways the rule book? You mean the Laws of the Landing? " He reached behind the counter and popped a large blue book and placed it on the counter. " Might take you quite a long time to read this kiddo. What exactly are you looking for? There's a generalized section that should give you what you need to know in the front. To be upright with ya a bunch of it won't matter for quite some time for you. "

" Oh yeah why's that?" Teyo said dejectedly.

" Ahahaha, well you've not even made it to the Identis Bay. Level 5 is when actual law and common place fellowship begins. Everything b'fore that is all about just trying to live. Piece it out over time, What you need now is experience. Have you earned any?" Wellyn winked at him as he asked.

Teyo grew upset. "This damn barkeep is tryna gate keep me from the rules? And now he's baiting me with the fundamentals. Okay well, I'll play your into your charade." he thought and with a face displaying eagerness he spoke out

" Oh the experience gems yeah I saw those how do you use them?"

" Haha now your thinking. Well you have an easy answer, Get an alchemist to make you a potion. Your first and closest alchemist should be somewhere in level 5. Just gather as many as you can now and reach there."

" Are you sure that's the earliest you can use them?? Do you tell this to everyone?" Teyo responded.

" Only those who ask or those who want to learn the book here. And most likely the case yes. The rest is for you to discover" Once again Wellyn winked at Teyo.

"Ahhh... So this guy's like the little game icon thing that gets put in the training mode that gives you tips and tricks. What the heck last time he basically... oh no I just ran in didn't I. Fuck. Okay let's keep him talking." Teyo thought. " Okay so let's say I have some items in my menu to claim, how long do they stay there? and what are Tavern quests?" Teyo said as he pulled up his menu and clicked around. seeing that he still had his reward from the goblin kills.

" They last for thirty days. And tavern quests can be accepted here in the tavern with the proper party size and requirements met. Think of it as a side quest. Everyone involved gets a reward but the difficulty is considered much more than the average Que. It will not progress you any further than the level it was given but you have the ability to earn much more! Anything else?"

Teyo began to think yet again. " Okay so it's like a Boss battle dungeon que thing. Everyone gets a reward though... Hmmm Requirements? Maybe he means the amount of goblins I killed to recieve it. Interesting. I wonder how many bats you would have to kill. Or would that even matter? Wait... Does everyone need that requirement?"

" Hey does that mean everyone in the party needs the requirement?" Teyo asked.

" Depends on the quest but likely yes. Do you have one if so hand me the scroll. "

Teyo accepted the reward for the Natural Predator achievement. A moment later a scroll appeared in his hand. He handed it over. Wellyn then unfurled the scroll, in the parchment the words and writing was in an unfamiliar language but it looked quite amazing. Wellyn followed the text with a finger and when he finished the text began to glow faintly. Then Teyo got an alert.

" Natural Predator"

" Hey Wellyn my man... you uh can still die on these quests right? "

" Well yes of course."

" Cool" ( ͡ಠ ͜ʖ ͡ಠ) - ( ͡ಥ ͜ʖ ͡ಥ)
