A month has passed since i talked to Rose about my training.
I currently am underneath i huge waterfall, Punching and kicking away at a huge rock i found while wearing added weights.
I though that it would be a great idea since i always saw such scenes in noves.
Ohhhhh boy was i wrong.
I can hardly breath, i can't remain stable enough since the ground is always wet and lets not forget the fact that the water comes down with such high pressure that it's like someone is constantly whipping me.
That alone would be enough torture by itself, but i decided to take it a step further by practising martial arts.
When i somehow got used to the training i even added weights.
In my last life i wasn't this hardworking, but in this life there are two things pushing me forward.
The first one, is of course my dear maid Rose.
She has doing all her normal work plus the added work like bigger meals and taking care of me after the training is finished.
She is also a light mage dedicated to healing, actualy this is the only reason that i can go this hardcore into training and not be crippled.
And the second is.....
'System'
Fun fact, last time i tried to say it out loud while under the waterfall i almost drowned, so i kept it in my mind this time.

[Comment: Even more charming after you got some meat on your bones.]
Yes, my second support is the rapid increse in stats.
My Strength and Agility went up by 1 point each which by itself is very good, but this was a mere byproduct of my training.
My Vitality, Stamina, Defence are now 6 points, the first two are already crazy enough, by my Defence went up by a whopping 4 points!
What is growth? This is growth!
And as the icing on the cake my Charm increased by one.
The increase in Charm isn't the important by it self, the important thing is, that i now know the fact that improving my body has the ability to increase Charm.
Now that i know a way to increase all my stats, all that is left is to grind.
With such happy thoughts i went ahead and kept training full speed.
3 Months Later
After 3 months of training my previous training regime became inadequate so i had to improvise.
I am currently a bit further from my castle training in a rocky area.
The previous smooth stones here were now as sharp as a knife, this alone took me like 3 days to happen.
I am running full sprint, with every movement i leave behind a trail of blood, my face is even paler than what it usually was.
Even the slightest move will get you cut and it hurts like hell, but i have to do it.
Why you might ask, well the answer is simple.
"System"

[Comment: Even more charming after you got some muscles.]
[Comment 2: The difference between stat 9 and stat 10 is huge. It's advised to enter dedicated training in order to improve.]
This second commment is the reason for all my pain and sufering.
I left everything else out and started training my Defence and as a byproduct Vitality improved.
It would seem that by getting hurt and healing again and again, my Vitality can be improved at a rapid rate, and let me tell you that Rose is not a fan at all of this revelation, so much so that i had to sneak out to train.
She will definitely sulk for a while but i don't have time to deal with this, when i reach 10 in everything i will definately make it up to her.
I also decided to work from now on each attribute individualy because it would seem that it is the most effective method.
6 Months Before My 5th Birthday.
It has been 2 months and my Vitality together with my Defence have finaly reach 10.
My Strength, Agility, Stamina have all increased by 1 making it 7, 7 and 9 respectively.
I will now focus on Stamina since it's already 9.
5 Months Before My 5th Birthday.
Stamina is now 10.
This i very fast but it might be that Vitality and Stamina are interconnected.
Anyway, whatever the reason might be, i am very happy with such result.
My other stats all remained the same, but i was expecting this, after all the higher the number the higher the difficulty.
2 Months Before My 5th Birthday.
My Agility is now 10 and Strength is 9.
My Charm also increased to 10 when my Agility and Strength reached both 8.
Only 1 stat is left and i am all done, this will be easier than i had though.
1 Month Before My 5th Birthday.
My Strength has yet to increase but i am still very confident.
I am feeling somthing weird, it's like something is blocking me from increasing my Strength to 10, but i am sure it must be my imagination.
2 Weaks Before My 5th Birthday.
I am now certain that something is blocking me from increasing my Strength. There has been no record of someone doing the same thing as me so i must go in blindly to try to figure out a solution.
1 Weak Before My 5th Birthday.
I now, no longer rest, i can now feel my bottleneck clearly.
I can feel it loosening up.
1 Day Before My 5th Birthday.
Nothing is working, i am getting desperate.
1 Hour Before My 5th Birthday.
I am at my wits end, but i just give up after being so close.
5 Minutes Before My 5th Birthday.
I am currently pushing a huge rock up a mountain.
"Young master, please stop!"
Rose is currently on her knees crying and begging for me to stop.
I had not sleept, eaten or rested in any way, shape or form in the last 3 days and i am pushing my very limits by pushing a rock at least 2 tons up a steap mountain, one wrong move and i am dead.
I can feel it, i am very close, so very very close that it's almost driving me insane.
1 Minute Before My 5th Birthday.
Rose is now silently following, but she is just behind my back, in case i make a mistake both of our lives will be at risk.
I am almost at the top of the mountain, but i am nearing my limit.
10 steps before the top, i can no longer hear anything around me.
5 steps before the top, i can no longer see from the exaustion.
3 steps before the top, i can no longe feel anything through my sense of touch.
2 steps before the top, i can no longer move my hand.
1 step before the top, i can no longer move even an inch of my body.
I am hardly conscious at this point.
Is this it?
Is it over?
Is all the suffering i went though all in vain?
...no
I refuse.
no.
I Refuse!
"NO!"
"I FUCKING REFUSE TO FAIL!!!!!"
And with every fiber of my being i pushed the boulder one last step.
I was losing consciousness, but at the very last moment a heard the system
[Ding]
[Congratulations host for achieving something never before seen in this world]
[Congratulations host for surpassing the system limitation and increasing a stat to 11, due to the laws of the world, the stat will lose 1 point and a reward will be given in compesation]
[Congratulations host for surviving for 5 years, the system is now officially activated]
[Ding]
[The host has achived something never before seen in this world, an announcement will be made]
[The host has surpased the system limitation and increasing a stat to 11, an announcement will be made]
[Please choose the announcement type, if you were to pick nothing then the news will be automaticaly sent to the system users in a hundred meter radius]
'surpassing the system limitations?'
And with that thought i now let myself fall unconscious, but before i could fall to the ground someone caught me.
'Hmmm, so soft'
These were my last thoughs.
