"I guess I need to buy the Crafting skill," he thought to himself, contemplating the various tools and materials he would need to gather.
It was easy, but just too boring.
"It can't be helped. Only these tasks were easiest ones." Rain shrugged his shoulders as he thought about buying a new skill, and increasing the proficiency of it.
"I will complete this later. Now it's time to check the second feature: Achievement Panel." Rain said excitedly as he opened Achievement Panel.

Rain was surprised as he read the description of the achievements.
However, before he could say anything some notifications started ranging.
→[Notification]
→[Congratulations, Host! You have successfully completed the Newbie Fisherman Achievement!
You have caught 50 fishes, which required skill, patience, and perseverance.
I'm surprised that you were able to do that.

Keep up the good work and strive to complete more achievements!
Best of luck on your journey.]
→[Congratulations, Host! You have successfully completed the Loner Achievement!
You have stayed alone for more than 2 months.
The system expected nothing less from you. However, the system had already given you the Loner trait. Therefore, no reward this time. Better luck next time.
Keep up the good work and strive to complete more achievements!
Best of luck on your journey.]
→[Congratulations, Host! You have successfully completed the Enemy of Evil Achievement!

Best of luck on your journey.]
Rain stared at the notifications for a few moments.
"System, I have a request." Rain stated in a serious tone.
→[Tell me, Host. The system will be generous and grant your request if it's reasonable.]
"Can you remove those odd remarks and long descriptions when you give notifications for accomplishment for the achievement?" Rain demanded.
→[Sure, Host.]
"Thanks." It was the first time, the system accepted any request without troubling him.
Still, Rain didn't forget the trouble system gave him in the past few months.
Still, he felt relieved as the system responded positively to his request.
He was annoyed with the lengthy and unnecessary descriptions and remarks that accompanied the notifications for completing achievements.
He felt that they only served to waste his time.
He checked some of the achievements in the achievement panels and his progress.
Rain stared at the seemingly endless list of achievements and couldn't help but wonder how much time the system had spent on creating all of them.
It was almost overwhelming to see how much there was to do on this island.
As if reading his mind, the system chimed in,
→[It only took 10 hours to create all of these achievements, Host.]
Rain was momentarily taken aback. He couldn't imagine how it was possible to come up with so many tasks in such a short amount of time.
"It's slow." Rain snickered at the response. He was hoping to see how the system would fall for his sarcastic remark.
However, an unexpected thing happened.
→[Yeah, It's slow. Therefore, O might host, I beseech you. Create all achievements and tasks from scratch for this ignorant being.]
"Anyway, you don't have to do that," he said, moving on from the topic. "I think I should check the rewards I got for the achievements. They seem like good things."
