My father manages to knock me into a nearby tree.
"*Cough* Good hit, I didn't expect that feint. *Cough* You just made me grab air." I wheeze out.
"Eleos. I'm very proud of you son. You've grown so much these past three years we've trained."
"Thank you dad"
*Whomp*
"This is something you never managed to grasp though. Remember you promised to refer to me as sir while we train"
"Haha, I had forgotten. Sorry sir."
"Well anyways I just wanted you to know I'm really proud of you son. Now enough chit chatter, let's continue training."
And like that five more hours passed. As my father walked back to the house I practically had to drag myself across the ground to get home. We had trained for nearly ten hours and I had supplemented my stamina with Ki and even then I was still this tired. My dad is a monster to still be able to walk after that.
My current status is considerably better than what it was three years ago.

My status has grown considerably since coming to this world. I have gained new skills, leveled said skills up. And I even unlocked the use of magic.
One thing in my status tab still confuses me though. And that's the level tab. I have yet to figure out how to level up to level 2. I've tried asking the system but all it responds with is.
- Error -
- The Host does not have access to that information -
So I've just been mulling over that in my head. The only way I've deduced is if I were to go into the forest around town and kill a monster then maybe I would level up. This is the only way that makes sense to me at least.
There is one other mystery that still sticks out to me though. This mystery is the name of the system and it's general origins in the first place. When I ask the system all I get is:
- Notice -
- The ****** System does not have permission to disclose this information to the Host -
- However if the Host promotes to a User then the system will have permission to display its name but not it's origins -
'Hmm, that was different. How do I become a User?'
- Error -
- The Host does not have access to that information -
'Of course' I inwardly roll my eyes, 'It's never that easy.
If I ever want to unravel any mystery at all I have to level up. To do that I'll have to explore the forest and kill some beasts.
With this plan in mind I finally reached my house. My mother noticed me and rushed over to help me up.
"Look at how dirty you are. You're going to have to take a bath tonight Eleos."
"I know mom, sorry."
"Your father should be the one apologizing" she glares at my father with her fierce eyes.
"Haha, so sorry dear. I just got so carried away."
"I guess I'll take it. Come on. In the house dinner's ready"
*Grumble* *Grumble*
As if on cue both me and my father's stomach growl.
"First to the kitchen gets first pick at food" says my father.
We then immediately rush though the house. On the way we definitely broke some things. Once my father went though a wall. He always wins at this game.
Sighing, my mother says to herself, "Not again."
When I reached the kitchen my father was already in his seat, his plate completely decked out. I inspect it and notice he got all the good pieces of steak. Hanging my head between my shoulders I put grab some food for myself. Albeit the quality of steak is not as good.
When my mother reaches the kitchen and sits at the table we all begin our family dinner.
After about ten minutes practicing in my head how to ask and gathering courage my mother notices I want to say something.
"Eleos, what is it?"
"Mom, Dad, I was wondering… do you think I could explore the forest around town a little bit on my own. I already bought a map of the surrounding forest so I won't get lost. I just think it'll be a good experience for me to get just so I can grow. I already thought of what provisions I'll take with me."
Both of them look to the other. They come to a silent agreement.
"Well Eleos… if you were any other child I would outright say no. But in these past three years I've seen how hard you've worked to refine your skills. I think this would be a good idea. So we agree to your request." My father says.
"Now obviously I knew you would say no so I've prepared a few other things. For example it would really help my… wait what. You said yes. I thought you would say no so I prepared a really long presentation for you. It took a week to prepare."
"Well the fact you prepared for so long proves that you're ready for this. Now I want to hear it though" my mother says.
"Now I don't want to say it anymore" I pout.
The rest of dinner was spent by my parents convincing me to say my argument. I eventually gave in and presented it. They seemed impressed by it. My father said:
"I think you may have a future as a politician Eleos"
To that my mother responded with:
"That's ridiculous Mareem… he definitely has a future as a politician"
I choked on my food when she said that. I had to hold my laughter back so I wouldn't die of choking.
After dinner I took a bath as my mother said, then I went to bed to get an early start for tomorrow's outing.
