NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4: [3] What Is Your Goal?
**Flashback.**
Robinson Crusoe, born in York, England, sailed off in search of adventure, despite his father's warnings.
His ship was wrecked in a storm, but he was fortunate to survive and wash up on an uninhabited island. With makeshift tools, he constructed a house, started farming, and managed to endure.
Twenty-five years later, Robinson rescued a young man who was about to be killed by cannibals. He named the young man 'Friday,' as that was the day he saved him.
Although he no longer felt lonely thanks to Friday's companionship, Robinson was still forced to spend 28 years of his life on that desolate island.

Vincent Lalo, currently reading the book given to him by the MI6 leader, wondered what had led him to prepare for this mission. As Vincent closed the book, an emotionless static sound filled the air.
[DING! Congratulations, you have acquired the system. Due to the delay, the Host will receive compensation.]
"Why didn't it come sooner?" he mused.

Right now, Billy Craig watches as his leader, Vincent Lalo, pulls out a book and tosses it at him.
The book was titled:
[The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe]
"This book was given to me in 1933, the same year I defected from MI6. That year, MI6 agents on missions were all called back just to capture me because I held too much dangerous information; the nation's top officials were terrified I would sell that information for protection and new citizenship," Vincent recounted.
Listening intently to Vincent while feeling the sea waves wash over his feet, Billy asked,
"What will we do moving forward?"
"*#?*¿!" Vincent Lalo replied.

Author Note: I wrote this short chapter to explain when the main character receives the system.
This chapter consists of only 300 words, while Chapter 2 contains approximately 600 words, and Chapter 1 has about 1,300 words.
I intend for each subsequent chapter to contain between 1,200 -> 1,500 words.
