Wren Langford was just a normal guy. 
He was not the type that turned heads walking into a room but not the type that got ignored either... he was just somewhere comfortably in the middle, which had never really bothered him. 
He got through college, made his friends, and lived his life... It was fine.
Graduation night was supposed to be a sendoff with good food, good company, and the girl he'd liked for longer than he'd admit sitting close enough that he'd finally talked himself into doing something about it then his dad called and dropped the news mid-dinner... he was heading out of the country and Wren needed to go run the resort he owned out in some small town in Mayne. 
Wren said okay, hung up and went back to his food. He would deal with one problem at a time.
The night ended with him at her apartment door saying everything he'd kept to himself for years and she let him finish then she told him plainly that she'd graduated top of her class, had companies already calling her and was thinking about her life in a way that didn't have room for someone like him. 
The door closed and he stood there in the hallway for a moment before walking away and he was on the bus to Harlow the next morning when the interface appeared out of nowhere.

[Main Mission Received: Make Langford Lodge the most popular resort in the world]
Wren stared at it for a while and outside the window, Mayne rolled by then he exhaled slowly.
"So I should make this resort the most popular resort in the whole world, huh?"

[Make Priya seek you out first after the rooftop incident] 


[The credits have been deposited into your System account!]


The tab appeared and disappeared in the same breath. 


Wren barely registered it at first. He was too busy looking at Priya standing outside a house he didn't recognize with a backpack on, waving at him with a small smile that was doing its best to look casual.


He slowed his pace and walked over to her carefully.


"Priya, what's going on?" He asked, pulling out one earbud. "Are you not running today?"


Priya blushed and adjusted the backpack on her back. 


"I have classes today." She pointed at the tall fence beside them. "This is Derek's house. Since he's my boyfriend, we usually walk to college together in the mornings."


"You two are so in loveee~" Wren teased and Priya's expression twitched as a blush covered her face.
