Affinity.
I could only feel its real meaning as I held the sword in my hand, I felt as if it was an extension of my hand, as if it was a part of my body.
I only got to understand the Importance of mastery skills at this moment.
"It looks like 'Omni-Mastery' lv.1 ability's strongest point is gaining mastery skills."
It was just too different, my body felt quite different as if it was freed from a shackle. In any case, this was more of a reason to continue on the path that I have already chosen.

I put away my bow as I just acquired the final mastery while checking the logs that I received in the last 3 days.
Only then….
As I started packing up the weapons to return them into the training room, I felt an intense feeling as if several parts of my body were gathering at one point; it felt great yet painful at the same time, as the system alarm rang loudly.

"Ah, that sure was one good idea."
Training multiple weapons and masteries was simply my plan to make use of time, yet the benefit was beyond that, it was like finding a river while searching for a mouthful of water in the desert.
I went to bed and passed out from fatigue, I was satisfied with the progress I have made so far. However, that was just for today. This was only the beginning.
>>>>
Early in the morning, I stood in front of the mirror after having a bath and changing into a new set of clothes.
It was as if it wasn't simply a month that passed, but a year instead. I couldn't even recognize my self, my pale face was now brimming with vitality, and my body had muscles that I could never dream about before.
I simply looked like a healthy young man. although I was slightly tall, nothing else looked abnormal. I wasn't bursting with muscles like most body builders. However, I believed that I was much stronger than them at this point. As for the reason of this strange difference, it could only be attributed to this being a game....
Nonetheless, I couldn't lose view of my goal just because I changed a bit more for the better, I checked the timer as if to remind my self. This world was far from normal, so its danger would probably be quite abnormal as well!
[61d:10h:56m:36s]
I only had about two months left. So, I had to move fast & plan further ahead, if I wanted to reap all the benefits that I could.

I checked my status one more time, before leaving the house.
"This is a game after all, so it's about time to start questing."
