Episode 2 -
Third Person POV|
Eis got up from the ground several minutes after he read the letter. He didn't remember almost anything after he read the two words.
'Vessel, condition, what the hell is this, did I become a container for something? 'It was what he thought and he really wasn't wrong about that.
Getting up from the ground – where he fell after reading the letter – he decided to open his status, which had only opened the day it was shown in front of him a week ago.

After reading it eis noticed that his prana increased from 1st. Order (Low) from last week to a 1st. Order (Medium). Another thing he noticed was that he got the title [vessel], he related it to what he heard at the time and came to the conclusion that it seems he became the container of something.
Eis didn't freak out after understanding this and instead he kept his usual calm expression as he stared at the ceiling after he fell to the ground face down.
"What is calm?" eis asked into the air not expecting anything but contrary to his expectations a translucent white screen appeared in front of him.
[This question cannot be answered yet]
Seeing that jyu answered him he felt a bit more at peace since he could get answers, but he also felt a bit bad since he didn't know what calm was. He then he asked again.
"What does it mean to be a vessel?"
[Vessels are special beings capable of containing abnormal powers]
Eis thought to himself 'So I have a great receptive ability huh' thinking for a while jyu who was strangely calm asked.
"Will I maintain consciousness and control of my body after that power enters my body?"
[No]
This answer although he left him with a bad taste in his mouth he did not feel desperate, he had already lost many things, and losing his life would only be another thing that he would lose, and even if he did not lose it like this, at some point he would die.
"Is there any way to remove this existence?" asked jyu still trying to extend his stay in this world.
[No]
"You mean I'll cease to exist, huh" I really didn't let him lose his existence like that but he couldn't do anything either so he could only try to live better his few days of consciousness or so he thought before that...
[No, it is not possible to remove calm or stop the process, but it is possible to maintain awareness of the vessel and remain calm. To achieve this the vessel must meet a certain condition]
This new information makes eis happy, but he is not stupid and he knows that the necessary condition is not low. But thanks to him now he knows that he has a way to extend his stay, he lightened up a bit and asked.
"What is the necessary condition?"
[The level of the Vessel is very low. It is necessary to reach level 11 to know the conditions]
The response of the 'system' seemed simple at first glance, but if it were that easy to reach level 11, the 'system' would not put that condition on it. Eis got up from the ground where he was lying, after getting up eis spoke, now with an established goal.
"What does it take to level up?"
[To go up to level 2 it is necessary that the prana/Qi of the vessel reaches the 2nd. Order (Low) and at least 3 of the 5 Basic Skills/Physical Level reach F- rank]
After hearing this jyu started to think of ways to do it but…
[Daily Mission]
0/100 push-ups
0/100 Squats
0/100 Sit-ups
0/100 burpes
0/10Km
[Reward]: [Recovery Potion] X1
Then seeing the screen eis was pleasantly surprised, but that was something someone who had spent a lot of time with the notary would notice, as his calm expression barely changed.
Eis who saw the task started to do it since he had to increase his strength anyway.
..
.
It didn't take long for eis to finish the first parts of the mission, his body was sweaty and he was only wearing his pants, he had taken off his top clothes due to the suffocating heat.
POV Eis|
My arms felt like they were burning from physical exertion, although I did exercise occasionally, it was never routine and it wasn't much either. But these exercises exhausted me almost completely.
Huh~
Exhaling I sat on the floor and took a break for several minutes. After resting I went downstairs and left the house where I was.
Because there was no food or anything to help me, I only left the house with clothes that belonged to the son of the owners or so it seemed. The clothes were tight black pants,black zconverze sneakers, a black oversize sweater that had no designs.
After stretching a bit I began to jog under the shade of some trees so that the sun did not hit me so much. As I ran I could see several silhouettes leaning out of the windows.
I ignored them since they weren't bothering me and kept running. One thing that got me thinking is leveling up, I originally thought it would be the same as a game where you gain experience and then level up.
But to my little surprise it was not. Several minutes passed and I felt that those 10 km were eternal, my little physical capacity said that I should rest, but I did not, since the best way to gain strength is to overcome the physical limit.
I kept running and running, and when I had covered about 9 km I heard a voice speak in the distance. It should be emphasized that in order to increase physical capacity, one must train without using prana to strengthen the body or the basic abilities of the body.
For what I have heard from so far away shows how good my senses are. Turning my head towards the noise of the voice, I saw several people gathered around a hole in the ground.
I ran towards them and when I got there I saw a hole several meters wide and long. Inside the hole there were some stairs that curved in a spiral shape for almost 7 meters deep, I couldn't see further, but I think I saw a big door.
"Hey, you also want to try your luck in the labyrinth" I heard a slightly older man say, about 40 years old, I could feel that sensation that prana leaves, so I knew it was an abyss.
Nodding the man smiled and said "My daughter and I are abyss too, what if you join us, it's better to go in a group" said the man, and looking a little further back I saw a girl around my age, I didn't look at her much so I didn't get a good look at it.
Turning to the man I spoke. "I just want to see a bit so I don't think it will go very far" I said to which the man seemed to understand that he wanted to go alone so he smiled and he told me to be careful.
The man walked away with his daughter and approached another boy, that boy apparently if he wanted to go with them and soon they went to another. Putting those people aside, I pondered for a while and decided to go down and see.
Ta Ta ta
My footsteps echoed in the hole, the stairs seemed to be made of carved stone as I couldn't see any sign that they were set up. This fact genuinely impressed me, as to create such carved stairs, one only has to imagine the size of the stone before the stairs were carved.
Tap..
Don't take too long to get to the bottom of the hole and reach the door. These were at least three meters tall and seemed to be made of steel.
But even so, a little rust could be seen in some areas of it, which showed the passage of time on it.
