I'm surprised by the positive feedback i've been receiving. This chapter is kind of dull, but hey it's a tutorial so nyah. :P

Chapter 2

Bella stared at her big red hulking monster of a truck. She had missed it so much.

"Do you like it? It's yours." Charlie looked at her hopefully. Bella turned to her father and grinned.

"I love it."

Charlie Swan +5 relationship points

Familial relationship 15/100

Boy that was depressing. She had only had 10 relationship points with her father. Well, she hadn't visited him in years…

Charlie's cheeks flushed and he cleared his throat uncomfortable, but pleased.

"Bella you remember Billy and Jacob black right?"

"Sure I do. Mud pies right?" Bella grinned at Jacob and he flushed. Charlie and Billy laughed.

"Do you go to Forks High or a school on the rez?" Bella asked. Not that she already didn't know.

"A school on the rez."

"Oh, that's a shame. It would've been nice to have a friend in school with me. I have the feeling that I'm going to be the shiny new toy." She sighed despairingly.

"You need someone to defend you from the masses?" Jacob laughed.

Charlie and Billy roared in laughter.

Jacob had a kicked puppy look on his face and Bella felt kind of bad. She sighed inwardly.

"So you rebuilt my truck engine right? Maybe we can hang out this weekend or something. I warn you I'm not mechanically inclined, but I want to learn."

"Sure did! You can come over Saturday morning if you want." Jacob grinned.

+5 relationship points with Jacob Black 25/100

"Great." Bella grinned.

"Jacob and I have to head out now," Billy said wheeling up to the two teens, "see you on Saturday Bella."

"Bye, Bella." Jacob waved and the two Quilettes left.

Charlie and Bella went into the house.

"You sure you want to go to school tomorrow? You can start on Monday."

Bella paused in thought.

"I think I'll start on Monday then. I can take this weekend to settle in a bit and unpack." And maybe figure out some more of the game features.

Gold coins? What the hell…but she wasn't complaining money was money after all.

"Anything is fine with me! But er…you don't have to. We could always go to the dinner."

"It won't be a problem at all."

Charlie's kitchen was devoid of food. It took a bit of searching, but Bella managed to find a few veggies, potatoes and a chunk of beef.

"Beef stew it is." She chuckled to herself. She would definitely need to go grocery shopping tomorrow.

Bella raised an eyebrow before rolling her eyes. Boys and their stomachs.

Somehow a meal that was supposed to take an hour an a half managed to take about 10 minutes. Her hands literally blurred over the ingredients and the cooking time was drastically reduced. She stared at the hot meal.

Prepared Beef Stew Quality: Good

"Done already Bella?" Charlie asked poking his head in the kitchen and sniffing the air.

"I guess so."

Charlie didn't question the incredibly short amount of time it took to cook the food. Apparently, 17 years of pizza and diner food had warped his sense of time when it comes to making food. Bella shrugged at least it gave her more time to focus on other things.

Bella lay in her bed after dinner and stared at the ceiling. Her room was ridiculously depressing and she wanted to change it. She didn't like to be reminded of her first life or play through. She leaned over the side of the bed and dug through her bag and pulled out a worn copy of Romeo and Juliet.

"No wonder why my freaking weaknesses are so high! I read that freaking book about 40 times already! I'm going to burn it." She hissed.

With glee Bella took the book outside, stuffed it in the barbeque pit and lit it on fire.

"Burn! Burn!"

Charlie ignored the maniacal laughter coming from the backyard as long as his daughter was in Forks and seemed to be enjoying herself he didn't care. His baby girl's happiness was all that mattered.

+5 relationship Charlie swan

Bella paused in her evil laughter. Then decided that it wasn't worth finding out why her and Charlie's relationship had changed.

The next morning was spent unpacking. Charlie gave her some money for grocery shopping. More gold coins…Charlie didn't seem to notice anything wrong with giving his daughter 60 gold coins.

But honestly where in the world were these coins coming from?

Grocery shopping was just as easy as cooking. An hour trip to the store took about 15 minutes including checkout. She paid in gold coins and the cashier didn't even blink.

+100 cooking xp

At this rate her and Charlie would reach 100 points in a few short weeks, maybe a few days if she interacted with him more often. Maybe fishing?

Monthly Quest Discovered: Fishing with Dad

Go fishing with Charlie once a month. Maybe catch a fish or two…try not to fall in the water.

Well that pretty much sealed the deal. She'd go fishing with him on Sunday before school.

Bella put the groceries up and grabbed a bowl of leftover stew. She chewed thoughtfully. She'd played many games with Emmett when she was a Cullen. If she was correct this weekend was some kind of a prologue/tutorial. Most games would let you skip them without penalty, but if you played them through you learned all sorts of nifty things and could even gain a few skill points before the main story line started. She'd take the next few days to level up some skills and maybe gain another level.

100xp wisdom

"Nice to know I'm on the right track." She grinned.

Bella wondered what she wanted from this life. Relationship points and cooking skill was nice and all, but there had to be more than that. Maybe she'd trigger an interesting quest on Monday, but for now she would try to find out how to gain xp in certain skills. Cooking and cleaning were obvious and she seemed to be gaining wisdom and intelligence pretty easily. Dexterity and strength weren't so straight forward. She thought back to some of the games she had played with Emmett. Maybe exercise would help with the strength, but she wasn't sure what to do about the dexterity. She stood up and began stretching.

She went in the living room, moved the furniture out of the way and began doing some pushups and jumping jacks. She lasted about 30 minutes before feeling completely drained.

Light Work Out Discovered

+10xp strength

"Slow, but its all I got for now. I'm sure I will find something else later." She sighed from the floor. She was pretty tired, her strength kind of sucked still. She envisioned being able to punch James whenever he showed up and groaned before rolling over and forcing some more pushups out of her body

Character Trait Unlocked: Stubborn

Sweet.

Bella gained another 10xp before calling it quits. Her body just wasn't ready to handle much more than that. Not yet at least, but it was nice to see some sort of progress. She walked around her house for a bit trying to figure out how she could possibly increase her dexterity, but she didn't have much luck. She glanced at the clock.

It was only noon maybe she would go to the book store and find a few Romeo and Juliet books to burn.

When Bella went to unlock her car something strange happened.

Item: Red Truck

Quality: Very Poor

"Well that's not good. I wonder if I work on it with Jacob a bit if I could bump up the quality."

100 wisdom gained

"I wonder what would happen if the quality was perfect."

Quest: Fixing Big Red

Your only mode of transportation is a rusted piece of crap, but don't worry it's a diamond in the rough. Get your vehicle quality to perfect in a month and be rewarded handsomely.

Reward: 1000 gold coins, unknown

Bella frowned at the unknown reward, but she was curious.

"Maybe I'll go buy some books on fixing cars."

50 wisdom xp gained

Well that settles it on to the bookstore.

Bella only found 3 copies of Romeo and Juliet at the store, but she found tons of books on cars. Sadly, she only had enough gold coins to buy three books. One was Fixing Cars for Dummies, another was about engines, and the last about vintage vehicles. She sat down on her couch and opened the first book and started reading, and reading and reading and she couldn't stop it was like it was the most interesting book ever and now it was over? She gaped at the clock it had only taken her five minutes to read it.

"There's no way I read that whole book in five minutes."

100xp Mechanically Inclined skill from reading Fixing Cars for Dummies

Skill Unlocked: Mechanically Inclined

Mechanically Inclined Level 1

I wouldn't go taking apart things if I were you, but if the toaster is on the fritz go for it.

Bella grabbed the next book All about Engines and five minutes later she had gained another 100 xp.

"Awesome. Skill books give me 100xp." She then tried to read the last one, but it wouldn't let her.

LEVEL 3 NEEDED

Bella scowled.

"I wonder if I can do the same thing with my school books." She went upstairs to find out. She had an English book, pre-calculus, biology, history, health and chemistry.

She read the English book first and then the rest.

50xp Intelligence for reading English School Book

50xp Intelligence for reading Pre-calculus school book

50xp Intelligence for reading biology school book

"I guess all books don't give me 100xp points at least not my school books, but hey at least I won't need to study too hard."

The history book and the health book had different results however.

Health School Book

Just say no to drugs…and sex, sexually transmitted diseases, and eating unhealthy foods. Just say no.
