How to write a story in a game?

Question

C++ / C#

Hello!
I'm interested in this: how is the plot written in the game? For example, I have everything just for clicking with the mouse, one field, you just choose, fill in and get a text with a history. Here is the question: is a script prescribed for each day, or is an xml file needed?
Sorry for the offtopic, but how did you master the field of programming in general? After all, there are no sites on which there is a dictionary with abbreviations, and working in this area is still a matter of waiting.
PS I know about the book "C# in examples", I read it. But there is nothing for Unity, and there is no answer to my question there.

certainly not in game development, and even more so not in unity.
