LifeCode encouraged Arin to explore beyond the usual:
[Optional Side Quests Available]
[Examples: Help a stranger, learn a new skill, explore hidden locations]
Arin picked a quaint little tea shop he had never noticed before. Inside, an elderly man struggled to organize his scattered supplies. Arin offered to help, rearranging jars and learning the subtle art of tea blending.
[Mission Completed: Side Quest – Tea Mastery]
[Skill Acquired: Observation +1, Patience +1]
[Experience Gained: 20]
Each side quest revealed small joys, hidden stories, and secret corners of his world. The system nudged him, saying:
[Life is not just about big events. Growth often comes from small, meaningful actions.]

[System Hint: True adventure begins soon. Prepare to leave the familiar behind.]
Arin grinned. "I think I'm ready. Let's see what LifeCode has planned next."
