"Accumulating what now?" He was beyond confused, wondering how any of this had to do with anything.
All he wanted was his power back, not to accumulate merits that would inevitably get him involved with the storyline.
The system explained further:
[You have to do good deeds and win the heart and favour of the people! And if your merit level hits at least 50%, then you'll get your power back.]
[If you can't hit that, then you'll stay one month before you get your powers as agreed upon.]
Ren sighed. "But... can I do anything else? Like sleeping or something? Something that doesn't involve getting involved with the plot or so?"
[No.]
[But remember, this is an optional task! You don't have to do it if you don't want to. You won't be punished.]
[The system just wanted to take pity on you and help.]
