Hello, I'm Luna Leonidas, future superstar, mega-fit, pretty girl extraordinaire.
I'm 4 years old and 364 days old, meaning tomorrow is my birthday, but more importantly, the deadline for my quest.
And for all the quests, I can officially say I passed with flying colours...
For the 1st quest 'Be recognised by 1000 people,' I managed to have that completed the second that the interview aired, I even briefly saw the number go past 2000 before it disappeared from the quest window.
For the 2nd quest 'develop a skill to a semi-professional level,' it turns out chess did not in anyway qualify as a skill, instead I had to sing my heart out day and night for years (3 days) to have the quest completed.
The only quest I have left would be that damn banana-eating challenge, which is currently at 999/1000.
I've almost consumed a banana a day for the entirety of my current life and I can finally be rid of this stupid quest.
And after that I'll get my random ability and then it can only go up from there.
"Luna dear, I'm not sure why you want a whole royal ceremony for me to give you this banana but we managed to do something quite close."
As I was pondering my future awesomeness mom came in with a fancy-looking robe in hand and the triplets followed with solemn, serious faces.
Mom quickly put the robe around my shoulders and as she did, Felix came in front me and knelt down so that we were at eye level.
"Luna Leonidas the first, as a reward for your lack of clingy/annoyingness for the last week, we bestow upon you this solitary banana." Felix spoke with an air of majesty.
"Hmph, why thank you good sir, the court may adjourn I shall partake in a snack now."
And like that I ate the horrid fruit that I'll never have to touch again and finally.
Eat 1000 bananas (1000/1000)

Physical/Mental/Charisma
Oh that stupid way of giving out rewards actually came into fruition, how nice of them to even have the S-rank abilities with the same probability as F-rank, although it's not quite what I asked for it's more than generous enough compared to the quest difficulty.
But, what branch do I go for right now?
Well, I know I don't need charisma, I'm quite literally perfect.
Mental, might help with chess and getting through school quickly but as someone with previous knowledge and on top of that being a genius I don't think I'd need it.
The one thing I'm not too sure of is my physical capabilities, I've never trained as a girl before after all. While obviously it's not like I'm in an alien body, my previous methods, especially with my numerous injuries might not help me out too much in terms of knowing what's best.
Physical Ability branch selected
Spinning probability wheel...
C-rank ability selected...
Choose one of the three options below
Lactate Tolerance
Injury Resistance
Natural Flexibility
Does lactate here refer to lactic acid? If so that'd be just increased stamina for when the heart can keep going but muscles can't, seems useful for HIIT or weight-lifting.
Injury Resistance honestly seem's really useful. While it doesn't quite seem like immunity being injured can ruin an athlete's career or just waste valuable training time.
Natural Flexibility... well from what I've seen mom do in the living room I don't think that's going to be needed. I think I might actually be concerned if someone was more anymore flexibile than that.
After confirming my choice I had a look at the detailed info for it.
Tendons, ligaments and connective tissues are somewhat more resilient to ordinary training loads.
After receiving the power I felt a very subtle massage throughout my body, kind of like how I felt after stretching in my old body...
I can't lie; this seems very meh.
Well, I guess a C-rank ability can't make me invincible or anything.
Let's just hope I can grab an S-rank ability next time; that might just double my strength in one go.
Wait... being too superhuman might be an issue, governments and the ultra-wealthy would be trying to run down my doorstep both legally and illegally.
Not to mention all those family conglomerates who'd try and marry me in and make a baby factory.
I'll choose not to think about horrible stuff that might not happen yet.
While I wait for my main-line quest which will proabably come tomorrow or the day after, I should focus on what I can for now my side-quest.
'High Placement in the Australian Junior Chess Championship,' my future IQ is at stake here and as a genius with a potential 100 for my mental stat this could make all my future quests even easier.
I still have another 5 or so months until the tournament starts and it'll last about 2 weeks.
The next day (May 31st)
""Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you ! Happy birthday dear Luna! Happy birthday to you!""
For my birthday, due to my overwhelming lack of friends, which is totally not my fault because Mom doesn't let me leave the house, I'm stuck with just family coming over not even Chloe (girl from soccer game) is coming.
I just remembered I'm going to have deal with Ass's mom, my grandma.
She's the old-fashioned conservative person in every family. In my case, she kindly rebukes me when I don't use my cutlery properly or when I say crude words like 'fart' or 'poop.'
If it weren't for mom being right in front of her at the time, I wouldn't have been surprised if she brought out the stick.
"Hippip!" Felix screamed as per usual.
""Hoorary!""
Well at least I get to talk to Veronica, my female cousin from my dad's side. Although she is 15 and doesn't really like to talk to me because I'm too young she is really pretty. She's really into fashion and wants to become one of those people who design's clothes for people who walk on the runway.
"Hippip!"
"'"Hooray!""
I mean, with all the family connections we have it probably won't be too difficult to parachute her into a role she wants. Whether or not one can get past that point will all depend on herself though.
"Hippip!"
""Hoorary!""
Oh finally they're done, I can go and-
"Luna, you've still gotta blow out your candles and cut the cake." Mom enthusiastically nagged me.
Uhh, I forgot about that part whoopsy daisy.
Inhale, whoosh
And like that I blew out all the candles in one go; well, there was only 5 of them but all in one breath, pretty well done if I say so myself.
"Now Luna, be careful you don't get to the bottom of the cake or you'll have to kiss the closest boy." Mom said.
The second she said 'kiss' all of my triplet brothers ran as far away as possible. They must be trying to avoid cooties huh.
Out of the remaining possible candidates, Ethan my eldest brother is still oversees but I got to facetime him earlier where he told me he already got me a present and that Mom will give it to me later, which was very nice of him.
Ass (Dad) is away again overseas as the premier league is starting up again and lucky me he did the same thing with the facetime and present.
There's Veronica's younger brother, Blake he wants to move away as well but seems too have some empathy as he looks kind of guilty right now. I mean, what 13 year-old would want to kiss their 5-year-old cousin?
There's Blake and Veronica's Dad, but I'll ignore him.
Finally, there are my 2 grandpas. The one on my Dad's side who's married to the nagging grandma is the stoic but cool-looking type. Apparently he's a CEO of a sport's apparel company that operates here in Australia, with the great name of... Leonidas.
I mean, eh, it works. It might be a bit long for a name for a company but from what I've seen from the clothes lying around the house instead of writing out the name on the shirt they just use a lion logo
My other grandpa, my Mom's dad, is just a normal retiree who dotes on all of us grandkids quite well, his wife passed away about 12 years ago and doesn't appear to be looking for a replacement and just seems to enjoy life.
Well, the candidates don't really matter because I'm not going to hit the bottom of the cake, kissing boys is gross after all.
As I was given the plastic knife to cut the cake, I got about a centimetre in and then stopped, saying, "Done, I don't have to kiss anyone!"
I would have liked to run away with a slice of cake but sadly, it seems there is more to come.
Well I know what is to come as Mom told me about a month ago, but before I could think about that I was given the first slice of cake, which mom so graciously decided would be banana cake...
Well, I'd like to say I don't actually like bananas and don't have to eat them anymore, but it'd be a bit weird to say that after that whole royal ceremony I asked for yesterday.
Just as the last slice of cake was handed out and my brothers came back to the chairs, the conservative grandma spoke, "Luna dear, I'm sure you've heard from your parents, but every 5 years in the Leonidas family, we like to set goals for ourselves. You can think of it as a way to help you strive to be the best person you can and allows us to know what it is you want to do so that we can help out."
As that was said, the quest window within my subconscious seemed to open up unprompted...
