You are Brayden ice you work as a farmhand on the highland farm.
You used to have a normal boring but atleast safe life, untill last week when a traveling gnome roped you into testing her short range teleport thing.
You where somewhat reluctant to do this but the promise of more money than you earn in 2 years working on the farm convinced you to try it.
The device however broke down when you activated it, the gnome told you you disappeared for a second or so, and then appeared in exactly the same spot.
she left the farm the next day the owner werent all that happy that she had been using one of his workers to test her invention.
You didnt notice anything different before the next day, when as usual the manager where giving everyone their tasks for today thats when you saw a weird message just floating there saying.
Quest alert.
A days work.
the manager wants you to harvest apples today.
Success gather atleast 2000 ripe apples from the apple grove remember to sort the apples that have fallen down on their own from the ones you take from the trees.
Failure gather too few or forget to sort the good from the bad ones.
Reward for succeeding 50 exp your monthly hire wont be cut.
If you fail you will get no exp and repeated failures in your work can lead to pay cuts or even you getting fired so dont fail.
accept quest yes/no.
I was very surprised by this but the manager apparently didnt notice it, probably because he were giving this task to five of us younger farmhands at once.
i ofcourse accepted the quest, mostly because i were afraid it would somehow tell the manager i where refusing his orders if i didnt.
nothing else out of the ordinary happened that day, i gathered apples all day long i made extra sure i were remembering to sort them properly but nothing else weird happened until i reported in for the day and got off work.
the moment i reported in for the day i got another of those messages, it said.
Quest completed accept reward now yes/no.
i ofcourse clicked yes a reward is almost always a good thing, and then this weird menu showed in the same style as those quest messages.

I am not sure exactly what the information on this menu is supposed to mean though.
the rest of the week went mosly the same way, i got one of those quest every morning and when i were finished with my work for the day it said Quest completed and offered me to turn it in.
A couple of other weird things did however happen, three times i got messages that said i aquired +1 in a stat 2 stamina and 1 strength somewhat freaky but i dealt with the weirdness.
The other freaky thing was on my favorite day of the week, the day the stablemaster teaches all us young workers the basic of using a sword, so we wont be completely useless if the king need to send out a draft due to war.
while the stablemaster where running us though basic drills, i got quite a few messages saying sword mastery increases by 1% i didnt count them but there were atleast 10.
but anyway today is a new day and its looking to be rather special, a small tribe of gnolls have been spotted higher up on the mountain, and the owner is asking for volunteers.
Im volunteering.
The owner is letting us volunteers decide whether we want to be in the front, or if we would rather guard the rear, all who go is going to get a part of the loot, but your part will be twice as big if you volunteer for being in the front.
[X] volunteer for being in the front you know its dangerous but someone has to do it
[X]volunteer for the rear you have sharp eyes and someone has to make sure you arent caught in a pincer maneuvre.
