Duke smiled awkwardly at Kisha, feigning innocence. "I was just waiting for you here, wifey. I thought you might need some help," he said, flashing his most charming smile and showing off his pearly whites.
Kisha immediately knew Duke was up to something. He always acted like this when he felt guilty or mischievous, usually planning something that would put her in a tough situation or prank her.
Unlike before, when she was left with no way to retaliate because he was always a step ahead and well-prepared for her reactions, she now believed she held some sway over him. "Well, a good husband knows how to listen to his wife, unless..." Kisha trailed off, walking back into the bathroom with a wide grin.
"Wifey, unless what?" Duke’s panicky voice came from behind the closed door as he banged lightly on it. He seemed eager to know what Kisha was trying to say but didn’t want to appear too overbearing. He still didn’t know what she meant and didn’t want to risk making his wife angry.
Kisha found immense satisfaction in teasing Duke this way, knowing he couldn’t retaliate as he did in her previous life. ’No wonder Duke liked making fun of me before,’ she thought to herself, humming inside the shower room and pretending not to hear Duke’s aggrieved voice on the other side of the bathroom.

[New Mission]
[A Class Mission "Commander of a Thousand"]
[Mission Description: As the hope of humanity, you are tasked with building a safe haven for survivors. However, a place is not truly safe without its protectors. Only the strongest, those born to lead, can create a refuge that ensures the safety of thousands. This shelter needs warriors who can brave any danger and lay down their lives to protect the weak.
Mission Requirement: Recruit 500 brave warriors and train them as fiercely as a lion trains its cubs. Ensure they are fully prepared within 15 days.
Mission Completion: Stamina Booster Recipe and Title: "Commander of a Thousand"
Mission Failure: Automatically failing the A-Class Mission "Planting and Harvesting," the C-Class Mission "The Philanthropist," and the S-Class Mission "Taking Nest for 30 Days."]
When Kisha suddenly received the notification, she was thrilled to see the mission completion reward. Although she wasn’t receiving any points, she was excited to get a recipe that would have been very expensive to buy with points.
The recipe was also incredibly useful; if she could mass-produce it with the right ingredients, she wouldn’t need to worry about supplying it to the soldiers at the supply center, ensuring they had what they needed while out on patrol or during supply runs.
But the moment she saw the ’Mission Failure’ part, she instantly scowled in anger. She felt like the system was undermining her survival, making everything more skewed and difficult.
At the same time, she was curious about what awaited her next month. With all her hard missions seeming to relate to preparations, she wondered if a war or some other major event was on the horizon that would require immense power for survival. The mere thought set all her alarm bells ringing simultaneously.
