[ Edit ] Chapter 2: The Increase In Difficulty
Chapter 2: The A.I Name Seru
The sun has set, announcing everyone to sleep, as it is getting late
Isidore seat on her chair and diligently write on her notebook
"7/12/2045 the day where everything change [Alien Invasion]" She muttered, writing the sentence on her notebook
She sigh and reviewed her notebook while adding some more detailed on some of the page
"December 8 2035, the new me [Time Traveling Incident]" She muttered with a blank face
Her eyes shine, she stood up from her chair, and close her notebook, then she asked the system if there is a inventory function
'System is there a Inventory I could use?' She asked the system in her thought
A new panel appeared, which answered her question
[Inventory]
10 Slot Available
< Need 10 mission point to buy 10 more slot > ]
She grab her notebook, then a black like void materialise in front of her
"This must be the inventory function" She exclaim and put her notebook inside the black void that almost resemble a black hole, in her opinion, maybe its some kind of worm hole or pocket dimension
[Inventory]
{ > Notebook <}
9 Slot Available
< Need 10 mission point to buy 10 more slot > ]
She dismiss the panel and walked towards the mirror.
On the reflection she could see herself, She had short black hair and shiny blue eyes, she wore a white shirt and—
"Why is my eyes blue?" She questioned, her eyes had turn from black to blue for some reason, she wonder if this is the system fault since its also, blue in colour
"System do you have a answer to this?" She asked the system
[...]
The system didn't respond
Seeing the system not responding she decided to put this question in the back of her mind, she instead focus on the important thing first
"It's getting late..I should sleep and go to school, tomorrow is Monday afterall" she exclaim, she could see the sun setting from her window
*Growl*
Her stomach rumble, indicating that its time to eat
'I need to eat first, after that, I will Sleep' she thought and made her way towards the kitchen
She grab some noodles from the shelf, she couldn't find anything in the fridge since her past self forgot to buy groceries, there were only a few noodles in the fridge
She made spaghetti with ketchup on top, after a hour of cooking
"I really need to learn, how to cook a proper meal" She muttered, she ate her spaghetti
"Agahh" She hold the urge to vomit and forcefully eat her own cooked spaghetti, well more like Burn Spaghetti
'I'm never cooking spaghetti again' she silently promise herself and ate her spaghetti with a force expression on her face
"Charlo I'm starting to miss your cooking" she pitifully said and forcefully ate the burn spaghetti she made for herself, atleast it is eatable
.......
Morning come as her alarm, Ring loudly
*ring Ring RIIIIIIIINNNNNNG!!!!!!!!*
"I'm Awake!" She turn off the annoying Alarm and got off from her comfortable bed, a bit reluctantly
She grab her towel and prepare to take a shower without forgetting her shampoo, of course
After that, she put on her school uniform
'If I walk towards school, I will arrive in 20 minutes or 27 minutes, but if I take a taxi it will cost me 10 dollar and 5 or 10 minutes of driving if I include the traffic' she thought, she stretch her body as much as she can,
she is planning on saving money, there's isn't much in her wallet, her parents account has a lot of money, but she rather not use it, untill she really need it to buy something
*beep Beep*
Her phone vibrated, she grab her phone from her desk and saw that someone has massage her
...
Yesterday Massage
< Isidore! >
< are you going to school? >
< do you want me to pick you up >
< why aren't you responding? >
< Helloooo >
< Are you asleep? >
Now
< are you there? >
< Respond! >
.....
"Judy..." She muttered recalling her old friend during her teenage years, unfortunately they had to saperated, because of work
< sorry Judy I forgot to do my history work >
She waited for a few second and sent the massage
< There's Homework on History!? >
"Pff" She hold her laughter when she saw her friend massage
< I'm so screwed! That teacher definitely isn't going to show any mercy on me! >
< Isidore! Please let me borrow your homework for a bit! I promise to give it back to you! >
< Judy, how are you going to finish it when it took me 3 hours >
< ... >
Isidore smile, feeling a bit proud at herself for finishing her homework
< there is nothing I could do now but pray to the god >
< good luck, also can you pick me up? >
< sure! I drop by and come to your house! >
< thank you, I be waiting >
She close her phone, she open the inventory and put her phone inside the Inventory

"Open the daily mission panel" she exclaim as a panel appeared
[Daily Mission Name: Your Training Arc
Description: Train your body everyday! To reach your potential!
Condition: 105 ush up, 105 sits up, 105 squats, 10.5 kilometers run
Reward: 1 Attributes, 0.1 Mission Point ]
"Eh." She stare at the sudden increase of the condition
'Why did it change? Is it because I spend my attributes or is it that, I complete this mission?' She asked herself in her thought
'System can you tell me the reason' she asked the system
[Daily mission will increase in difficulty everytime the host complete it
Daily mission has a slight chance of evolving to Event Mission or Normal Mission]
'Make senses, I should start putting my attributes point on Endurance, to endure the difficulty, for now I need to put most of my attributes on Intelligence, Durability and Agility' she thought and waited patiently for her friend to arrive
"..." -Isidore
'Doing the daily mission right now will be a waste..if only there's wasn't a time limit, then I could have relax for a bit, and do the mission without worrying about it resetting' she thought
[Once the host decides to take the daily mission, the host has 4 hours to complete the daily mission before it reset
It means that the host has to do the daily mission again when the time limit has been used up]
'I wonder if the time limit will increase as the daily mission get harder, or will it stay the same?' She asked herself
'If it stayed the same, then I might need to increase my Agility, Durability and Endurance to speed up my movements and make it, so that my body is able to handle and endure the training' she said and prepared some plans ahead of time
'If it doesn't stay the same and instead decrease the time limit, then I need to raise my Agility and Endurance to keep up' She thought
'But if the time limit increase along with the difficulty of the daily mission then I wouldn't need to worry too much about it, I just need to raise my Agility and put some of the attributes point on Endurance, it should be enough to complete it' -Isidore
'And if one day this daily mission were to evolve to a Event mission or normal mission then that would be a pity since I wouldn't be able to gain the attributes point daily anymore, since it isn't a daily mission and instead a one time mission' she thought,
[Event Mission has many benefit and the likelihood of the same Event mission appearing is Zero percent]
[Normal mission has many benefit as well and the likelihood of the same normal mission appearing is quite high]
She sighed and gazes at the incoming car from her right side
'Judy car is here' she thought to herself
She stood up and wave at the car, to signal that she is here, waiting for her
*Vroom, Beek*
The car stopped in front of her, the window slight open and revealed her friend Judy
Judy has Long Black Hair and dark Brown eyes like any normal person, her school uniform is a bit messy especial her button chest, it looks like it's about to explode,
"Isidoooree~!" Judy playfully said her name
"Hi Judy" she replied
"Come on! Let's go we're going to be late, you know!" Judy commented as Isidore open her car door and went inside
"Hey! Why are you sitting in the backseat?" Judy asked, her voice contain a hint of sadness
"Stop complaining, if you drive now we be able to arrive just in time" she bluntly said
"Hmght" Judy drove her car towards a certain direction, Judy has a car license so it is fine and how did she got a car license when she is just 14 years old?
No one knows not even Isidore, maybe she receive it from another country or its a fake car license
"Isidore~ there's this think, you know the blue with the letter being red—" -Judy
"You mean the new drink called 'Rəd Bull'? " Isidore interrupted
"Yes! That's whats it's called! Do you wanna try it with me after school?" Judy said, inviting her to hangouts with her
"No. I have some work to do" Isidore directly rejected her invitation
"Awww~ come on Isidore~ its not like it will kill you," Judy persisted
"No is a no, and shouldn't you be worrying about, the history teacher punishment? " Isidore quickly change the topic on Judy unfinished homework
"Fuuk! I forgot about that!" Judy panic at her reminder, her head hang low just from thinking about it
"Focus on the road Judy" Isidore reminded her
"Ah! Right!" Judy quickly turn right, nearly hitting the car in front of her, if she didn't turn right she might have hit the car
*BEEP BEEP*
the car that she nearly hit, beep at her
"Sorry! Sorry!" Judy apologies
'I'm starting to think, that her car license is a fake one' Isidore thought,
{ 7 Minute Later }
They finally arrive at school
*Bip Beep*
Judy parked her car nicely and locked the car door
Isidore and Judy hurriedly went inside the school gate and arrive just in time before the gate close
"Phew! Glad we arrive just in time" Judy said with relief, she didn't want to get punish again for being late in class
Isidore nodded in agreement as both of them went to their respective class
{Isidore is Class A}
{Judy is Class D}
Isidore sit in the front right corner beside the door and waited for the teacher to come in
"Blah Blah Blah" -Side Characters 1
"bleh bleh bleh" -Side Characters 2
Isidore didn't pay any attention to her classmate—
......
{Author}/// I'm not gonna write her school experience!
{End of school time, brought to you by the Author complaining at The Narrator}
"Isidoooore~!" Judy playfully said, her car stopped in front of isidore
"Wanna go and buy that new drink—" -Judy
"No" isidore interrupted and directly rejected her invitation
"But—" -Judy
"I have work to do" Isidore said
'That work is planning on how to get rid of those alien and finishing the daily mission, while also reading information on gogle, I also need to buy groceries and find a way to gain more money' Isidore thought to herself
She got inside Judy car and listen to Judy rumbling on and on about how the teacher hurt her beautiful white palm
"Uh huh" Isidore nodded and continue listening
"It really hurt! Just look!" Judy show both of her hand towards isidore, her palm is red
"Judy please focus on the road" Isidore reminded
Judy hurriedly focus back on driving as she almost hit a person on the street walk
"HEY!" -Side Characters 1
"Sorry! Sorry!" Judy apologies
......
{Isidore Home}
"See you tomorrow Isidoooree~" Judy wave her hand at Isidore, with a bright smile on her face
"See you tomorrow Judy" Isidore replied back, Judy nodded and drove off, disappearing from Isidore sight
*Vroom Droom*
Isidore went inside her small home
"I'm Home" she said with nostalgia hidden from her tone of voice
'I have a lot to do, first is completing the daily mission which will take two hours or two and a half hours to complete, then buying the groceries from the nearby mall, after that I will need to befriend my future partner again' she thought to herself
She began to exercise and stretch her body, to prepare for her training
"1...2....3....4...." -Isidore
.......
{2 Hours and 20 minutes Later}

'I need three more point' -Isidore
She close the window screen
"Time to buy groceries " She said, she grabbed her house key and put it in her inventory, so that it wouldn't get lost or stolen by a pickpocket
She admit, she forgot to bring it with her to school, she was thinking of many logical plan that she forgot her own house key at home, thankfully she didn't lock the front door which she forgot to do
Fortunately no one steal her things, well there isn't any valuable item in her house, other then her house key and laptop
'I should put all the important item in the inventory' she thought
She grabbed her laptop and put it inside her inventory

POV Narrator with Judy
"ISIDORE!?!?" She shouted in surprise,
Previously she was trying to find her favorite show and coincidently saw Isidore on the TV with a large card for some reason
"My..my best friend has won the lottery!?" -Judy
"Ahhh~ is she gonna abandon me now that she's a millionaire" She asked herself a little afraid of the answered
"Huff huff! Just act normal, yes just act like you didn't know about this" Judy said to herself
...
POV Narrator With Isidore
{Few hours later}
'That....was....exhausting' she thought and collapse on her bed
'Thanks to the intelligence stats I was able to remember the lottery numbers, but why did it have to be announce on TV' she thought to herself with a little bit of regret
'I didn't even prepare for a speech and they suddenly want to announce me on TV, what kind of nonsens is this, now that I'm on TV there will be several people wanting to either kill me or kidnapped me just for the money' isidore thought to herself with a dark face
'I'm starting to regret doing that, but I really needed the money urgently or else how am I suppose to build this technology?' She thought, she reassure herself, her Parent leftovers money after they died, wasn't enough for her
'I already brought the All Technology Knowledge Book and, with my Intelligence stats being very high I should be able to build anything that Humanity's had invented with enough resource and money' She thought

'I manage to level up by one level, just by killing one hundred bugs which include, spider, insects, mouse and butterfly' isidore thought she recall the many insect there was in her house, especially the spiders, there was a army of spider in her basement
She brought a flamethrower from the system and burn the living crap of the baby spiders and mother spiders without the slightest bit of hesitation
She called the firefighters to extinguish the flame in her basement, she didn't want her parent house to be burn afterall
"*Shiver* why was there a army of spider living inside my basement" she asked herself
"Thankfully the flamethrower wasn't that expensive" She muttered
[Favorite: [●]
Name: Flamethrower
Description: shoot out fire that could burn any flammable material
Cost: 0.01 ]
[Remaining Mission Point: 0.89]
' open the Civilization Shop menu ' she thought to herself
[Current Civilization Type 0.75: Shop]
[Civilization Type 1: [Unavailable] [Require: 10 Mission Point]
[Other Civilization Type: [Unavailable]
'I need 10 Mission Point to open the next shop' -Isidore
'And if I calculate the amount of mission point I obtain everyday, then I would need 92 days to obtain 10 mission point, which is a long time, who knows if I could even complete the daily mission,' -Isidore
[Daily Mission Name: Your Training Arc
Description: Train your body everyday! To reach your potential!
Condition: (Completed)140 push up, (Completed)140 sits up, (Completed)140 squats, (Completed)22.75 kilometers run
(Already Claim)Reward: 1 Attributes, 0.1 Mission Point ]
'The difficulty of the mission is raising by a lot. from my analyse it raise about 5 point on push up, sits up and squats, while the kilometers run is confusing to me, I thought it would increase to 45.5 Kilometers but it didn't, it seem to only raise to 1.5 points on each completion of the daily mission, the system is quite fair if it had raise it to 45.5 kilometers run then I probably won't be able to complete it' she thought to herself completely lost in her thought
'The time limit seem to also increase on each completion of the daily mission' she thought a little happy about it
[Time Limit has increase to 5 hours]
'Now I won't have to worry about not completing it in time just because I was too slow' -Isidore
'I should focus on how to spend this money properly, I don't want to waste it on expensive cars after all, why would I need it if the alien is going to destroy it, the 100 million dollars I put the money inside my parents credit card, with that much money, I should be able to buy anything that I need, even a bodyguard if I could find one' she thought,
her parent is dead so she naturally will take advantage of her parent credit card, she had long since move on from her grief and sadness over her dead parent,
Right now, she had to take her revenge against those dispensable alien or else the entire humanity will be doom
'The next step is being influential and having enough fame that people will start to support me and follow my words, if I manage to do that, I would be able to build my own technology company or have the people who specialise in engineering help me with the construction and dirty work of building the technology' -Isidore
'I can't do this alone and I know that from experience, if I wasn't too stubborn I would have been a better leader and would have save my luxurious house in the future' she thought, regretting it deeply
'Tomorrow, I will need to buy a professional guard to protect me everyday and night, I may have combat experience during the alien invasion but that doesn't mean I'm invincible' -Isidore
'Okay! It is decided I won't go to school' she thought to herself
'Tomorrow morning I will complete the daily mission and then go find someone that is capable in my past—Ahem Future life and recruit them while they are still young' she said,
in her future life she manage to gain a lot of info of about a few professional that are in needs of her help in the past but she didn't help them because it was too troublesome to take care of grown adult male
She was too busy and short on money after all, how could she take care of a homeless man on the street?
Well more like a homeless soldier on the street, kinda pathetic that society didn't help him,
This soldier that fought for the country, is now a homeless man on the street
'I wonder why he is homeless' she questioned
'Did his girlfriend break up with him and grab half of his money, then he got depresse and wasted all his money on alcohol to forget all his pain or something like that?' She made a guess in her mind, she read a lot of romance novel of a similar thing happening, the plot in the romance novel were to predictable for her
POV [The_Imperfect_Idol]
From the outside perspective, we could see Isidore staring in blank space without blinking or moving, her eyes were unfocus and blurry
She seem to be in deep thought
After a few minute she finally snap out of it and come back to reality
"Building a A.I is a good start for now" she said to herself, she walked towards her desk and sit on her chair
She pull out her laptop from her inventory and place it on her desk, she open her laptop and put her passwords inside
ICYPATH
That is her password
{5 Hours later}
The sun is setting, the light on the street turn on one by one
Isidore our Protagonist is diligently doing her best on creating the perfect A.I and after a few more minutes she manage to create a A.I that could respond to her question and give her any answer it has in the Internet
The A.I can't really do anything that's isn't inside the Internet, like being self aware, expressing emotion and Etc
"Hmm maybe giving the A.I a 2D digital body would be okay right?" She said to herself
She got to work and went towards a website that could give her a working model, the model is more like a Vtuber Model
{4 Hours later}
Few more hours pass, the sun is already gone, letting the moon take the stage, during these few hours she had worked hard on making the model, be move and control by the A.I easily and freely
She had also made it able to see everything in the Laptop screen, like her mouse for example
"Your name from now on is Seru" she declared and put the name on the A.I Script
"Introduce yourself Seru" she asked the A.I—Seru
Seru responded on Isidore Laptop.
Isidore eyes brighten, she smile widely from ear to ear and began asking a lot of question, she tested and see if there were any bugs or flaws in the A.I—Seru
"Say Fuck" Isidore directly said
<(CENSOR)> The A.I—Seru said
"How many elephant can you fit inside a fridge?" Isidore said
Isidore eyes widen at that, her eyebrow were raise as she stare at the A.I—Seru in surprise
"I didn't think of fitting a baby elephant...and why is the number so specific? " Isidore exclaim
'Did the A.I just stole that line from somewhere?' She thought to herself
"Did I accidentally create a Sentient A.I or something" Isidore muttered a bit worried
"..." Isidore stayed silent for a few minutes
'Whatever, now that I created my own A.I, thanks to All Technology Knowledge Book, I should think of a way to gain more influence and fame' She thought to herself
'Becoming a Millionaire and being announce on TV is one thing, but it wasn't part of my plan and it could also brings in enemies in the future' she thought
'I will need to be careful from now on, and think of a safe way to gain influence or fame without anyone targeting or attacking me' -Isidore
"Wait! I got a Idea!" Isidore suddenly shouted
"Seru do you want to become a Vtuber?" Isidore Asked The A.I—Seru
To Be Continue....
