I have done it... I have accomplished the pinnacle of being a reader! I have spent the whole night catching up on the web novels I've missed, and I don't even feel any fatigue or sleepiness despite having no sleep. Muhahaha.

I then woke up from my meditation my body has already started to regenerate mana passively, it seems it just restores it like my health now. I got some plans on the top of my head for my new mana but I need somewhere isolated before I can do the experiments.

Before that I went to the bathroom with the intent of taking a shower, Unfortunately, the shower tap broke when I turned it lightly. 'Well shits, I may have fucked up with the Strength stat since I can't control my power' I thought while trying to dodge the lava-like water coming out of the shower head.

There goes my plan of going to a dojo or something to learn some kung fu, but at this rate wouldn't I just need to tap someone a little, before they drop to the floor in seconds. oh well, ill just UTube it I guess.

I dressed up in my training clothes and went to the bus stop, my destination today will be the small forest trail between my campus and the rival school's campus. Pretty much no one goes there since it is a forest and people don't mix well with bugs. Thereby making it the perfect place for experimenting with mana

The first thing on my agenda was to see about casting spells. It's only logical.

The obvious spell that everyone immediately thinks of is fireball. But I didn't have anything I could test it out on and use as a target. Plus I kinda didn't want to start a forest fire of some sort, so I put the fireball skill in the back burner this time.

Standing in the middle of the forest, I tried to sense the so-called mana, have it welling from the ground, gathering it through the air.

Imagining a core of power inside my chest, drawing it out through my hands.

Anything.

I tried imagining power welling in my hands, overlapping, swelling. With my eyes closed, I imagined the feeling for a few minutes.

Then to my excitement, I felt a tickling on my hand.

" Wahaha! This is it I can feel it, I knew I was a genius, Now go earth bu-ahh fuck!"

When I opened my eyes, however, a mosquito was sucking my blood.

I quickly squashed it in disgust. To my disappointment, however, I wasn't given a notification of exp.

I gave up in disgust on the magic aspect and went to my next task.

"Guess a lvl 4 noob like me doesn't deserve magic yet. Well let's just go move on"

The next thing on my agenda was jogging. Because I wanted to learn some movement skill. Finished doing some sort of stretches I remember from childhood, I went and started jogging down the path. It was a hot day and despite me being surrounded by trees it was still quite humid.

"ooh god, haa my lungs, haa my lungs are trying to kill me"

At first I felt fine and full of energy, however, ten minutes later my sight started to go blurry as I found it hard to breathe. Which I found surprising considering I was on a very strict diet plan.

"WTF man, isn't this suppose to be a hack version!? Why do I have to work hard for this?"

But even so, keep going, my breathing was getting shallow and my legs were aching. But who fucking cares to change yourself starts with just 1 step, and also the next bus not arriving for another hour so I literally had nothing to do...Finally, when I was about to black out, a window popped up.

With a groan, I collapsed on a nearby fallen log.

[Congratulations you have learned the skill {Jogging LV1} +10 EXP]

"Fuck yeah, ahahah. Judging by my new skill Jogging, it seemed that I would be able to unlock movement-related skills. "

[Jogging: Jogging at a steady pace has gotten easier. You also can keep jogging for slightly longer]

After resting for a few minutes and my stamina was fully recovered. I stood up and started jogging again. I starting to get addicted to levelling skills and wanted to see about trying to level up some other skill. During that, I kept jogging to increase my proficiency in the skill.

Sure enough, when I was almost near death due to exhaustion I hit another level.

[Congratulations {Jogging LV1} Has Leveled Up To { Jogging LV2} +20 EXP]

"Man, I hate grinding physical skills, maybe I should go wizard route? but I kinda don't wanna be a glass cannon sooo"

Later, I thought I should try to learn the skills for jumping and sprinting.

Walking would be a skill too if this was an indicator, but I should learn it just fine without the need to train for it.

For now, however, I wanted to train a combat-related skill.

I finished jogging and instead of being completely tired, my stamina still had a few points left in it. I then found a nice piece of stick to practice on.

"Aye, you! you think you're tough big boi?"

I had a stare off with some trees and started beating them up with my stick, performing moves that I saw on that ninja turtles movie. I mean it's getting hard on my palm, but hopefully, I can get a combat ability with this.

My hands grew numb from the jolt and pain of the stick thudding against a hard object. You should try it out sometime. It's great. Taking a rest, I regained my stamina and repeated the process. After the second repetition, I gained a stat, and after the third repetition of this, I gained a skill.

[Congratulations you have learned the skill {Blunt Weapon mastery LV1} +10 EXP]

Taking a break, I looked at the newly acquired skills

[Blunt Weapons Mastery LV1: Blunt weapons deal more damage]

Stamina replenished again, I got back up and continued smashing my stick into the wooden log.

My hands grew numb and fingers stiff, rivulets of sweat ran down my body. The sun was hot and beat down on my back as I punished the log for existing.

Finally, with a swing at the log, the bat slipped out of my unfeeling fingers.

"Well that should be god's sign that I should take a break"
