Chapter 3 - The Journey Begins

Thaleus awoke refreshed and feeling stronger than the day before.

*Ding* (Daily Quest)

100 push ups 0/100

100 sit-up 0/100

100 squats 0/100

run 5 miles 0/5

"Looks like i gotta grind these dailies out before I get transferred to military school." Thaleus thought. He decided to eat some breakfast before getting started. He also wanted to see how his abilities worked today so he needed to find a secluded area so he could see what he could do. However first things first he had to get this daily quest finished with. So he began with the easy ones first right after breakfast.

2 1/2 hours later Thaleus was breathless after finishing his 5 miles. *Ding* (daily quest) complete: +3 skills points + 10 exp he allocated his points to his strength, agility, and stamina now sitting at 14 for each. "Now its time i see what my ability can do." Thaleus set off for the local park hoping to test his skills. His stomach rumbled "Damn it, looks like i gotta make a pit stop before going to the park."

There was a cheap restaraunt on the way to the park so he stopped in to grab himself a bite to eat. Normally he avoided people because he would be beaten or looked at in disgust because his clothing was drab even compared to most of the poorer folk living in town. He finally reached the restauraunt Gaucha's Burgers (Best Burgers in Pento City.) The sign outside was just a hype up. Most the places in town were so much better, but his allowance wasn't enough to eat at better places. He resigned himself to a corner of the restaurant after ordering so he would be left alone by the rest of the customers. Hoping not to see any of his old schoolmates or that Johnny kid he just recently had the pleasure of meeting.

Finally Thaleus finished his food hurrying out of the restaraunt to get to the park. Once he finally got there he surveyed his surroundings until he found the perfect spot. it was covered by trees and bushes allowing him to train in peace. He made sure that know one knew or saw him enter his training spot then immediately tested his abilities.

"Time Lapse!" All of a sudden the falling leaves around him slowed down within 5 meters he could physically tell the difference in speed. 3 seconds later and everything went back to normal. he also noticed his mana now said 40/50 on his stats. "Welp it seems like a good skill so it seems right that its costly" he thought. "Alright next up Time Warp." He said when nothing happened he was confused. "What did i do wrong Dom?" he asked

"You must think of a direction you would like to travel before activating this skill." Dom replied

"Oh okay, I think I understand." He tried again this time thinking of moving forward. *Bam* he was about 3 meters ahead of where he had started. However he felt like this took a lot out of him. "Damn this is awesome, but it seems in battle I'll have to watch how I use this for now."

Now that he understood the dynamics of his current active abilities he thought he had a better understanding. He checked his stats again. They now said:
