Objective: Beat the Assailants (0/10)
Rewards: Strength +1, Agility +1"
When Jake looked at the group of people rushing towards him, he found that unlike the normal reaction getting scared and nervous, he was getting excited.
His face was filled with elation on seeing another mission to grow his strength.
"Why is this guy smiling? Is this bastard trying to mock us?" The leader said in an angry tone.
"Maybe he is just a lunatic who has lost his mind after seeing all of us rushing towards him." Another boy said with a laugh.
"His expression is pising me off. I need it break more than a few bones of his body today. Maybe fracture his skull and pelvis. There are a whole lot of things we could do?" Jake heard all the things they were saying about him, and could help but think, what he was going to do to them. Since they showed hostility first, it would be rude not to give them a proper reply.
The man rushed in while waving his fist towards Jake's face, Jake dodged downward, while kicking the man's knee from the side and while he bent from the after math, kicking his face with full strength, breaking his teeth in the process.
He then jumped towards the one on the left side and attacked him with a straight jab, and followed it with three more punches , breaking his nose in the process.
The other rushed in and some were wearing metal knuckles, while others were carrying weapons.
They attacked Jake from all direction and with the help of the system, Jake managed to dodged the lethal ones and attacked the opposing party with all his strength.
The situation wasn't in his favour, hence he didn't hold any of his tricks back. He bit some of them, pierced and destroyed the eyes of another , while hitting someone else in the ground witha kick so powerful, they started bleeding.
The fight continued on and on, and Jake was taking in majority of the attacks, while avoiding only the lethal ones. Somehow he managed to break the hands of one of goons, and tear off the knuckle.
He wore them and prepared for round two.
"The host has gained a new weapon. Iron knuckles. No stat boost is awarded. Host's continous action is analysed and a basic boxing skill is provided, would you like to learn?" The system asked.
Jake didn't even think for a moment before accepting the skill and a lot of information flooded in and his body seemed to be moving on its own.
Jake then proceeded to beat the people with the basic boxing arts he acquired. One after another they began to fall and Jake's momentum seems to be increasing by the second. He didn't even think about holding back.
"Didn't you want to break a few of my bones?" Jake said to the man as he fractured his collar bone with his foot before breaking the bones with all four of his limbs and even breaking his pelvis and skull.
His teeths were broken and jammed his mouth, while he was gasping for air.
Jake's cruelty only increased with the others He lifted the club and continued to attack with it. Breaking a few bones wouldn't be enough
He wanted to cripple all these people completely.
He continued to beat those people mercilessly, until a pool o f blood had spread over the place they were fighting in.
The noodle shop owner had contacted the police department, but he soon dropped the idea after watching Jake beating them mercilessly. It was a sif he had just seen a monster.
An hour later-
Jake finally stopped. All eleven people had been crippled for life and wouldn't be able to walk any longer. Jake left them alive as he had no further mood to beat someone who was this helpless.
The sucess notification soon arrived as his strength and agility stat grew once again.

Jake went back and rested for the night. He had collected another stash of cash from the people he beat yesterday. When he woke up once again, he recived another mission.
"Mana Training: Basic Mana Exercise
The host has recently acquired a neq breathing skill. You need to train it to increase your body's mana capacity. You need to practice it with the Taoist steps to improve your body strength and mana capacity as normal methods wouldn't be helpful after some time.
Objective: Increase mana stat by 1
Reward: additional mana stat."
Jake sat down and began to breathe according to the art. After a prolonged time he saw that his body was being in contact with a weird kind of feeling. This feeling must be the mana he was trying to absorb.
Jake continued without stopping, and after long hours of breathing regulations, he finally managed to increase his mana stat by 1.
The way he did it was by concentrating on the foreign feeling and trying to connect with more and more while breathing, which helped him absorb it into his body and increase his mana stat.
"Mission: Basic Mana Exercise.
Status: success.
Rewards are being granted."

Jake took a sigh of relief, but somehow he felt extremely satisfied and full after the training rather than lying with hunger and enxhaustion.
Jake wanted to ask so many question but couldn't find answer to them.
The next moment, another mission popped up.
"Body Refining Mission: Basic Body refinning exercise.
The host has gained the secret art, Taoist's steps.Yoh are to follow the instruction and complete a whole circle of all the steps. If the host stop in the middle you wil have to start from the beginning.
Objective: complete 104 steps in one go(0/104)
Rewards: Strength +1, A movement skill.
Time limit: 8 hrs."
Jake's nightmare began when he started to perform the positions mentioned in the book. He first failed in just 7 steps. The second failure came during the tenth step. The third during the 16th."
It continued and Jake forgot to keep count on how many times he had failed already. He just wanted to get it over with, but after the 30th trials, he wa starting to feel exhausted.
Jake tried to persist in the process by taking small breaks in between to just flex his muscles.
This is how a hellish regime of mana training and physical training began.
