A bit late: Reader Quest
Added 2025-09-15 13:37:57 +0000 UTCHad a busy weekend. Writing metaphysical properties and "things" that change the entirety of the story are hard for me. We'll still be at two chapters on the weekend, but it slowed me down, and thus this was late.
Big chapters coming up after our recent slowdown, with a few short(ish) time skips to come. Then, shit hits the fan.

[Tier 1 Construction Quest]
This is not a repair quest. It is a minor act of creation.
Objective: Construct one physical object that didn’t exist in your space yesterday.
Parameters:
– Must be assembled by your own hands
– Must be made using items you already have access to
– It may look stupid. That’s fine. The System has no opinion on elegance.
Examples:
Legos
A book stand from a cereal box
A key holder from magnets and string
A phone rest made from chopsticks
A wall hook made from a spoon
Timeframe: One Week
Completion Condition: It works. It does what you wanted, however jankily.
Shape it. Fail it. Fix it. Make it yours.
Reward for completion: 6 XP
System Note: This is the lowest form of invention. It’s also the first.
