The next day after a hearty feast, good alcohol and swallowing everything Sirius had to say the night before. Sin feels refreshed and finally decides, it was about time to look at his status page uninterrupted for the first time of his arrival into the Desolate Kingdom.
[Name: Sin]
[Level: 1]
[Age: 23]
[Gender: Male]
[Race: Human]
[Health: 1000]
[Mana: 400]
[Strength base 20+15]
[Intelligence base 20+15]
[Dexterity base 20+15]
[Agility base 20 +15]
[Physique Hidden Stat base 20 +5]
Looking at his status for the first time, Sin thoroughly shocks himself at the numbers shown on his screen. "I must be careful in this world, although the stats look impressive. What truly matters is how I use my strength, knowledge, techniques to keep myself alive. The day I become conceited will very well be the day I lose my life."
Hearing a knock on his door, Sin pulls his focus away from his status page as Zenith walks into his room, shutting the door behind him.
"Good morning younger brother, I hope you slept well. Because today is the day that old fuck introduces you to the Purgatory Boot Camp. I cannot tell you how much I have suffered through his training. Now it is up to whether you train like a man, or look like a ugly hooker on the side streets of downtown."
Walking past Zenith, Sin looks the man in the eyes "I appreciate your words of encouragement. However, I have been through many scenarios and devil like instructors have taught me. They are all the same people, with separate training methods. If your will and mind are focused, nothing will break your concentration on what's in front of you. Now let's go I am looking forward to this Purgatory Boot Camp."
Smiling as Sin exits his room with Zenith following behind. The two men under Zenith's directions make their way through Wolf Heart City, meeting Wolf King Sirius after running at a moderate pace for 3 hours straight.
Behind Wolf Heart City, a man made training ground with natural waterfalls and enchanting scenery rests.
Sirius with his old age and burning excitement the previous night, came to the training grounds at 2 am in the morning preparing his boot camp. With various state of the art training machines, various weighted full body suits with stones attached to them as a 'measurement of weight' lay. Amongst the pile of weighted suits lays one pitch black suit of armour, radiating a crippling aura that even makes a staunch man like Sin waver while looking at it.
"Welcome to the Purgatory Boot Camp young'uns, for one of you this was a nightmare 2 years ago. For the other is a land of mystery and unknown."
Standing proudly in front of the Sin and Zenith, Sirius sports a massive shit eating grin which easily gives the mischief behind this aged elder.
Lazily pointing his thumb sideways to the armor beside himself, Sirius introduces "This armour here is called Devastation. It was said in the Retribution Immortals younger years, he had also donned the very same armour. Pushing his body beyond limits normal to him by multitudes of 'curses' while also being healed by the armour. Think of it like being in the womb of your mother. A caring gentle hand picks you back up every time, only to slap you back down into hell and back for as long as you wear Devastation."
Pointing nonchalantly at Sin "This will be what you are wearing during my 2 month training program. You will suffer excruciating, hell like pain beyond what your mind and body can deal with. During this process, Devastation will whip all your 'bad habits' you have created through combat out of you. While continuously strengthening your physique, meridians, bones, flesh, cells, and blood."
Taking the initiative to arrive in front of Devastation. Sin eagerly throws himself into 'purgatory' as he states "No rest for the wicked!"
Zenith is left behind eyes wide open as if walking into a murder scene involving his family. Cursing underneath his breath "Goddamn brat look at you all eager now, until you suffer the various curses Devastation has to offer."
Backing away ready to leave the Purgatory Boot Camps training ground Zenith shouts out "Good luck junior brother Sin. May you walk out of this place as a new born man of unimaginable strengths!"
Just as Zenith is about to fully leave. Sirius appears behind him grabbing his shoulder and throwing Zenith back into the training grounds. "Where do you think your going you little shit. Do you think you talking shit behind my back last night went unnoticed? You too will also re-equip Devastation, these past months you have gotten too comfortable no longer making as much progress."
With a face full of terror a scream of agony rushes out of his mouth as a loud "FUCK MY ASS!" Echoes throughout the training grounds.
Coming to the front of Sin who's currently donned Devastation. Sirius pats Sin on the shoulders "I expect great things from you as the 10th generation Wolf King. During these 2 months we will be focusing on your foundations, combat techniques, breathing, movement techniques, battle sense, instincts and many more categories."
"Your day will be broken up into 24 equal sections. Sword training, Saber training, Movement training, Body training, Mana manipulation, Qi combination, Martial techniques, and so forth. You will be allotted 3 hours to each of your training sessions with a 15 minute break in-between each section."
"This Purgatory boot camp is special in the sense that I have found a relic from times of immortals, that slows the movement of time by 3X. Meaning 1 hours here is equal to 3 in the outside world. You will be training 66 hours with Devastation on, and 6 hours off as Zenith gets whipped back into shape during the process."
"During this time as you are being trained in the various sections, Zenith and I included will be your opponents. Over the years I have created a many of stout wooden sticks. With the added effects of [Bone Breaker] and [Gravity] Under the effects of Bone Breaker you will feel the pain of all your bones being broken in the striked area, without having the broken bones. And with the effects of Gravity, you will have the pressure of gravity weigh down on you condensing your bones, shattering them and reforming them from Devastation's side effects."
Nodding his head with vigorous fighting intent blazing within his eyes. "I mean you no disrespect Sirius, but may we start training now? I know back on Earth I was a very proud man, and even became cocky after finding no one who was capable of being my match. After arriving in this world, I plan to thoroughly cleanse myself of any cockiness."
Smiling in appreciation Sirius cannot help himself but to compliment Sin "A young man with a broad mind, who also understands himself best is already a smooth and well crafted piece of diamond. Now since you're in my hands, I will raise your quality to the highest standard I can with what remains of my life!"
Taking Sin to the highest natural waterfall Sirius explains. "I have created .4 inch thin wooden planks that I have placed into this natural waterfall. Inside of that shed are 2 boulders shaped completely out of steel weighing 149 kg's each, for a total of 656 pounds. You will attach the cuffs of the steel boulders to your ankles as you climb up the waterfall. With the rushing water falling down upon your body, as well as the 1.5x gravity I will be placing upon you."
"During said process, both myself and Zenith included will be equipped with my stout sticks. Your goal is to gain absolute control over your body, fending us off as you climb to the top of this waterfall. For each time you fail and are blown off each step, you will have to do 25 Goblet Squats with the steel boulders, followed by a 2 minute full speed sprint before retrying to climb the waterfall."
A vicious smile appears on Sirius's face. "I may have also forgot to mention the curses that will descend upon you from Devastation."
Walking to the shed Sin walks inside, finding the 2 steel boulders. Sin attaches the cuffs to his ankles as he takes 10 steps out of the shed. With visible signs of sweat already dripping down his forehead, he walks towards the starting base at the bottom of the waterfall.
With Sirius on the right hand side of the waterfall, and Zenith to his left. Both shout out in unison "Are you ready!?"
Nodding his head Sin willfully equips his Saber in his right hand, and Sword in his left hand. "As ready as I will ever be!"
Jumping off the platform onto the first wood plank embedded into the waterfall. Sin feels the crashing water, and added gravity onto his body as he barely stabilizes himself. Meanwhile Sirius launches himself from the right slashing his stick towards Sins thighs, as Zenith follows up with a slash to his shoulders.
Putting his swords tip facing towards the ground Sin blocks Sirius's strike, as he sweeps his arm out horizontally with his Saber block Zenith's strike.
Kicking out with his right leg Sin is taken aback as a "burning" feeling causing extreme anguish to him as he bites down hard on his teeth. Fighting through the first wave of Devastation's curse, Sins leg meets Zenith's feet. as he launches himself onto the second platform. Running up the waterfalls planks like a pro mountain climber.
After making it to the 10th platform, Sin is paralyzed momentarily as Sirius appears behind his back slashing down with his stick hitting his back. Dealing with the agonizing pain, Sin flexes his thighs as he jumps 3 inches. Avoiding Zenith's sweep that would have sent him to the bottom of the waterfall.
Just as Sin lands back onto his feet, the 1.5x gravity that was weighing him down ceases. With overwhelming strength to stabilize himself, his feet loses balance as he lands overbearingly atop the soaking wet plank plunging into the pool of water.
A cocky "cheh" sounds as Zenith sounds out in frustration "This young pup ain't bad, even I only made it to the 3rd platform before being knocked down. And that was only with Sirius attacking me let alone having another distraction."
Laughing heartily at Zenith's comment Sirius says in a provocative matter. "Is your junior starting to make you realize you've become conceited?"
"Like fucking hell!" Zenith yells clearly falling for the provocation.
"Oh stop sounding like a whine ass who's still suckling on his mothers tits. It's your turn next while the young'un does his follow up exercises."
And just like that the first day passes, as both Sin and Zenith make it to there cabin thoroughly exhausted after enjoying a nutritious meal. Both falling like a sack of potatoes onto their beds, falling dead asleep instantly.
Both of the young men pass through the night peacefully, with their well deserved rest..... That was of course until 3 hours later Sirius kicks the door down.
"I remember someone once saying. 'no sleep for the wicked' both of you pussies wake the fuck up. Dawn has broke signalling a brand new day full of excitement!"
Both senior and junior brother grumble waking up as they yell out to the sky "FUCK OUR ASS!"
Maniac laughter follows from Sirius, as if an old man with dementia remembering the good times from his childhood.
