It was just 5 in the morning right now as all the process took an hour as I was awake since 4am.

Normally I woke up around 5:30 and went to exercise in the Gym at our house and then go about the day after half an hour of exercise. But now, I have to increase the intensity as I am above the peak human strength.

[Ding! Daily Mission triggered!]

With that I started to freshen up and wear my gym clothes to hit the gym and start with the quest.

Our villa was 3 story with a basement and a garage outside which had most off the cars, all of them were high end luxury ones with a few of my bikes.

On the ground floor was a kitchen, living room with a big sofa and T.V. and the sliding glass door to our garden, dining room, and servant quarters.

The garden was not too big not too small as it was mainly a hobby of my grandma which my mom also picked up, so it was very well maintained with some rockery, bridges, trees, flowers of different kinds and a pond with fishes of my grandpa.

We also had a small gazebo where on some days we all gather and chat or play games with snacks in a spot near the pond.

The 1st floor is mainly entertainment facilities and guest bedrooms. It has karaoke room, arcade, gaming room for playstation and pc games, a mini theatre, drawing and calligraphy room for my mom and grandpa respectively, music room for my grandma, photography and crafts room for dad.

As for me, I mostly go for the arcade, gaming, music, photography and crafting. I always liked origami and DIY since childhood.

The 2nd floor is bedrooms for everyone with their own balcony and different designs.

My parents room has pictures of the whole family on the walls along with some hand made frames and wood and paper toys on the table made by my father and art pieces and family drawings made by my mother.

Most of the paper weights around the house are the wood models made by my father as his hobby. Which is also the case for drawing and calligraphy pieces.

Grandparents room is also decorated in a similar theme with calligraphy and some smaller musical instruments around the room with some of the famous musical pieces. Grandma mostly likes to carry her flute so it is not very hard for her to play whenever the mood or inspiration strikes her.

They all are quite accomplished in their hobbies as well so it is very good to look at and listen.

My room has a music and books theme with a small bookshelf in my room filled with books I have read. and a keyboard near the bed and chair.

I say small because of the library that we have on the 3rd floor which is quite big along with the gym, a spa and massage, and a rooftop swimming pool.

So I head for the gym after getting ready to find only my butler awake as my parents exercise after me as they sleep late due to work even after dinner.

Greeting him I start with the running to get my body warmed up and also see if I can really make skills.

[Skill Generated : Running Lvl 1]

It passively increases the agility by 1% every lvl. Currently Increases Agility by 1%

This was the notification after 1 min which I was very much satisfied with.

Deciding to continue the exercise session, I continue with the run and increase the running skill to Lvl.5 as I already have been running in this new life so it was easier. After which I moved on with the push ups, sit ups, pull ups and squats which gives another skill but passive only.

[Skill Generated : Body Conditioning Lvl 1]

[Body Conditioning : It passively increases Strength and Vitality by 1% per lvl.

By the time I was done with the workout quest, it was already 6 am as I previously did less than this. So, after a long shower I surfed the net to check which novel anime and manga are there and most suitable now as I had time till breakfast.

I went by the poolside and lay on the armchair with my tablet to search for the acgn along with movies and blockbuster songs and singles of famous artists as well as the artist themselves.

Almost an hour went by and I came to know that there were very few entertainment stars and artists and many of them did not even enter the industry yet. Same for the anime genre as apart from dragon ball none of the other famous works were there.

There were some new ones but they just don't compare. Deciding to talk to my parents about this as well after I have started with the entertainment king quest and made good use of the skills I put it on my mental list.

Now I head down to help my mom prepare breakfast which she and sometimes grandma makes as according to her it is the most important meal of the day and I should not skip or eat unhealthy for it. This mainly happened because I did so during my childhood where I ate only chips and the like for breakfast for a month straight and got sick. Since then mom made it for us everyday with sometimes grandma helping out.

Anyway I wanted to get the cooking skill as the more the merrier and I always wanted to learn to cook on my own in my past life but never got a chance to.

So I went into the kitchen to see my mom just getting ready to prepare and taking ingredients from the compartments and fridge, I call out to her.

Alex :"Mom, let me help you out with cooking as well."

Kayla :"What's gotten into you? Just sit tight and let me cook. I don't want you to destroy my kitchen and make a mess early in the morning."

Alex :"Do you really have that little trust in me??"

To which my mom just smiles at me and gets back to her preparation.

Well that was a blow which felt like an imaginary arrow just stuck through me like in anime.

Alex :"Mom, I'm serious. Teach me how to cook. I want to learn to make more than just instant noodles and bread toast."

I say with determination and seriousness on my face to which my mom finally resigns.

Kayla :"Fine but you will only do anything or even practice under my, your grandma or sebastian's watch. Is that understood?"

Alex :"Yes mam!"

I reply with a salute and some trepidation as I don't want to be on her bad sad at any time.

Kayla :"Okay now first wash your hands clean and then wash these vegetables. I will show you how to cut them and everything for today's dish preparation and from tomorrow you will help me everyday with breakfast where I will monitor your progress."

So with that I started to help her with the preparation of egg fried rice and some salad on the side with tea and coffee for everyone. It was a very nice time and after helping her cut the vegetables and some help in stirring and listening to everything she said, I finally got the notification.
