It's nice to see you all again, and I want to apologize for the wait! Now, let me explain something before we continue this story. The Codex, an anomaly that deviated power from the Gods of The Pantheon, creates "Daily Quest" that act as a way for players to increase their levels at least once daily! BUT, if you do not complete your daily quest, The Codex will find this as you ignoring the gracious opportunities given to you by it, so it will give you a "Penalty". Penalties can vary depending on how many daily quest you ignored! It can go from a Penalty Zone to real world consequences such as a Criminal Record! But let me stop borin' yall! Enjoy this new chapter!
"GOD DAAAAAAAMNNN ITTTT!!!"
Kaden screamed violently as he ran across a Rain Forest. Whilst he ran, five yellow gorrilas chased after him. He looked back, noticing the gorillas' characteristics. Each gorillas was coated with thick, yellow fur; They all were equipped with giant, sharp, and ferocious teeth; And, they had a bloodlusted look in their eyes. Kaden proceeded to run faster and faster, picking up the pace with each step.
"YO! YO! YOOOOOOOOOO!! GET AWAY FROM MEEEEE!!"
As he proceeded to yell and plead louder, the gorillas began to increase their pacing whilst they hopped tree from tree. Kaden looked upwards and began to lose hope until an idea jolted in his head.
"THATS RIGHT! THE CODEX! What did Ahmad say though.. Like a mental activation..?"
Kaden looked ahead of him and took a deep, calm breath.
"JUST LIKE A VIDEO GAME CHARACTER!"
Right after he spoke, The Codex's screen popped up next to him!
"Skill Execution: Accelerate[Lv. 1]!"
His shoulders instantly jolted back as a sharp force of energy propelled his speed beyond regular human limits. He ran past each tree, leaving the gorrilas only a trail of his dust. He stopped and sat down behind a boulder.
"Where.. The.. Hell.. Am I!?.."
The Codex's screen pops up next to him, seemingly to answer his query.
"THE PENALTY ZONE: JUNGLE!"
"Penalty Zone..? What's that?"
The screen instantly changed.
"For not completing your daily quest, you were given a random Penalty, and in this case you were given a Penalty Zone."
Kaden poked the screen in curiosity. He starts to scroll through The Codex's screen, interacting with the many different interfaces.
"Well.. I got those gorillas off my back, so this would be a good opportunity to actually learn more about this 'Codex' thing."
He continuously scrolled until he reached his stat screen interface.

"Huh.. So whats this 'Snap Build' skill?"
The Codex's screen transforms into a small video of a stick figure. The figure finds a stick, snaps, and creates an identical stick. After the presentation, the screen transforms again.
"Instantly creates/copies a item from Player's internal blueprint archive/memory. Constructs are conjured using mana and materials stored in the Player's inventory.

"Huh! That's actually pretty cool! Lets try it later!"
He looked around the area. Noticing he was in a giant lush rain forest.
"So.. This is a penalty zone- I'll just stay here until this penalty en-"
Before he could finish his sentence, the boulder he sat behind began to shake. The Codex's screen popped up next to him.
"QUEST!: Kill Rock Sprite[0/1]!"
"Oh god- JUST GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!"
The Rock Sprite stood above him, towering him. It raised it's fist and shot it down towards Kaden.
