Jake opened up the mana awakening tab and a series of message started to appear in front of him.
"The host has successfully completed his mana awakening. Mana awakening refers to the process during which a user is able to sense and store mana from the surrounding within his body. Since you gained one stat, you have successfully awaken and now begin the training in mana."
"The host has been awarded with a mana training book."
"Basic Breathing Method.
Mana is also known as energy and is the core element that sustains life. Without it people would be able to exert energy or intake it within themselves, hence ceasing to exist.
A user needs to absorb mana from the surrounding and store it within their bodies before they could begin the practice of manipulating mana and circulating it around their body to try and use it for various processes."
"Breathing methods are the best way to absorb mana from the surrounding and the most basic one is the one that is used by beginners to improve their mana capacity to some point before they could start its application."
"The host would be able to use this breathing method to improve the mana present within your body and even your physique."
Jake was about to go through the description when another message appeared.
"The host has successfully levelled up to level 2. A body training and refining art will be presented as a reward."
"Basic body training and refining Method: Taoist 104 steps.

The art is one of the most effective and powerful methods for beginning body refined to improve their body with."
Jake had just gained two new arts and he knew that new avenues of missions were soon going to open.
The next moment, Jake saw two missions pop out at the same time. This had never happened before.

Jake never recived a mission with time limit, but he knew that the system should hav edine it due a reason. He began to do the physical training.Even with all the buffs and increase he recieved in the stats, the training was still hard.
Jake didn't stop. His mentality of not going back to his weakened state back in the past was so tough, that he managed to endure through the training,even though he was feeling extremely exhausted and hungry.
He managed to finish the entire training within the 8 hours time period, but he fell down out of exhaustion.
The notification of sucess and increase in stats arrived. He felt himself getting stronger, but his body was somewhat exhausted.
He needed to have some rest and he wanted to sleep even though he was severely hungry.
Little did he know that his choice of a short nap would turn into a deep sleep of 2 hours and the system notification would be signal of awakening him.
"This can't be." Jake said as the mission countdown started.
He immediately began to train once more. This time his muscles were aching and his stomach was churning all around from all the acid that had been collected in there for such a long time without any food being ingested.
8 hours later-
Jake was crawling on the ground and as he slowly made his way towards the starting point. He managed to reach there just in time and finsihed his training.
The new stats were presented and his body grew even stronger than before. The only problem was starvation and the severe lack of food.
"Emergency Mission: Nutrition search and intake.
The host is in dire requirement of nutrients due to prolonged starvation. You have to find food fast and consume it to appease your hunger and provide nutrition for proper growth of your body
Objective:(0/2000) calories."
Jake tried to search the dumpsters and couldn't find anything. His last resort was the money he got from beating up the bullies. He didn't want to spend them but this was an emergency. Even the system had warned him about it.
He went to a road side noodle vendor and began to chug down bowl after bowl of noodles, until his stomach was finally full and the system showed that the requirement had been fulfilled.
Jake felt his body returning back to normal and drowsiness was slowly overtaking his body. The rest mission was already in action and he had to sleep, but something surprising happened.
Just when Jake exited the vendor's shop after paying, he saw a group of people waiting for him. Among them were two heavily injured people who were looking towards Jake with extreme anger.
"Is he the one who did this to you?" One of the people asked.
The injured person nodded his head.
"Boy, how dare you do this to my brother? You are dead." The man who seemed to be the leader of this small group of ten said.
Jake didn't want a fight, but the next moment another combat Mission showed up.
"Combat Mission: Assailant Extermination
The host has come face to face with a group of assailant. You are to beat all of them to an inch of their death, and even kill them if you want to.
Objective: Beat the Assailants (0/10)
