Another day went. I woke up, feeling refreshed. Recovering my energy I had used yesterday. I quickly went to my inventory to grab the last bit of game I had left from hunting. Tasted great since it was in the same condition it went in with. Which was convenient to say the least.
I had an issue though, My training was slowing down immensely. Reasons being my potential and simply workouts just not cutting it, I had remembered that the system mentioning that this planet was special, as well as it having 'zones' I could use to further my quest in getting stronger, specifically, to get of this planet.
I wanted to ask the system about it further or how I should get to said zone, But before I go do that, I wanted to catch some game. My BS instincts were kicking in, and usually it was right... .
~4 hours later~
"Finally caught the last one".
Before I went on my quest, I had asked the system if it was going to cook all prey I had caught, And to my delight it said yes. After that, it was history. I went on a quest to slaughter as much rabbits the system guided me to. Was I an asshole, yes. Did I care, NO. I needed to survive no matter what and to do that I needed to be merciless to anything that came in my path.
After having caught 116 cooked game, I finally took thirty minutes worth of rest. After resting up, I was ready. I called out to the system to talk about the next zone to further my advancement.
"System, I'm ready to go to the next zone".
{YES HOST, YOUR WILL SHALL BE DONE. BUT A WARNING BEFORE HAND, THE NEXT ZONE WILL BE UNDER 2X THE GRAVITY OF EARTH WITH THINNER AIR, MORE DANGEROUS BEASTS AND OVERALL LETHAL ENVIRONMENT. AND ANOTHER IMPORTANT FACTOR TO NOTE IS THAT YOU CANNOT GO BACK TO A PREVIOUS ZONE ONCE ADVANCING TO A NEW ONE. ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO PROCEED?}
'2 times the gravity already, I might need to take a few days to adapt to that at least, specifically to the point where it no longer hinders me. I wasn't gifted with a bloodline like the saiyans which naturally had greater adaptability than me, nor did I have Ki, so that I couldn't supplement my body with energy to compensate for the intense burden it would put on my body. But gains favor those who push themselves. As they say, no pain no gain. I steeled my resolve to go and enter.
"Okay system. I am ready".
{YES HOST, TELEPORTATION COMMENCING IN THREE... TWO... ONE... STARTING}
'I felt myself teleport from where I was, before getting hit with a familiar gravity I used to train with. Only this time, it was far worse, I couldn't even stand to be honest. Even with my impressive strength it was a doozie.'
"Shit!".
I cursed outload at my dilemma, I knew that higher gravity was intense, but since I never used it with a somewhat normal body. I knew its effects either way. I felt my head getting woozy, as my blood wasn't flowing properly as it should. Each of my blood vessels thickening as the blood rushed to my legs. I felt as if I was going to pass out. And the air being thin didn't help one bit. With that said I felt my consciousness finally slipping, I fell.
~small time skip later~
"Arghh..." 'I grabbed my head lightly, thinking about what happened. But nothing did. Thankfully.
"I fell unconscious.", I woke up feeling like absolute crap though. Still struggling. But it was now manageable.
With a Ding sounds going off in my head. I felt my body getting stronger as the load lessened, my blood flow returning to normal... somewhat normal. After another 30 minutes I could walk a bit now, but every step I took tired me out, but that's to be expected. But, I could already feel my gains coming, I felt as if my weight was dropping. My body from what I could see looked to be on the thin muscular side now. Further inspections needed to be checked later... .
But overall. I was slowly adapting and getting used to the pressure that the 2x gravity gave me, and with my estimation, another couple days would help me get used to it completely even with decent training in. But now, I was starving. I heard growls that could rival luffys when he was hungry. And that was saying something. I opened my inventory to eat some of the game I caught, and it took 5 whole rabbits to fill me to satisfaction. If my hunger was increasing this much already, I am going to be in some deep shit later on.
I got up after another hour passing by with my bones and muscles gnashing together with each movement, to finally inspect my growth. 'And boy was I in for a surprise'.

'Wow. I had increased immensely, I'm sure I could take batman in a hand to hand fight pretty well now or to even with him with his overall technique advantage. My stats were far beyond superhuman as of this moment. I got probably deadlift multiple tons easily. But the most surprising thing were my perks and one of passive. My 2 new perks would help immensely against opponents I faced on a similar level, giving me a slight edge due to my density or bones with the trade off of being a good bit heavier. And my adaptability now advancing too.
I could feel myself getting stronger faster as I spoke. Getting used to the gravity and thin atmosphere around me. It became easier to breathed. I still felt the pressure, but it was bearable this time. enough to walk, albeit wobbly at least.
Another change was my body, I looked ok now. My appearance ranging from 2 to 3/10 at best. But my body had finally lost its useless fat, which was quick to say the least, but I had to give that to the gravity, because of that, my body was constantly training even when I was unconscious, and due to my adaptability kicking in to keep my alive.
'I should just find shelter to rest and build up my resistance more, I can't exercise yet. Since I'm not yet used to the pressure this zone gave, not even considering the beasts that could even live and thrive under this pressure.'
