Chereads / The Conqueror's Journey / Chapter 10 - Progress

Chapter 10 - Progress

Two months have passed since I began my training.

The beginning was quite rough. The original owner of the body was lazy, so obviously my stamina was low. I put in about two weeks to improve my endurance. With a brief break, I ran most of the time. I decreased each day's break as time went on.

I did push-ups, sit-ups, and squats to strengthen my muscles, after building up enough stamina. Although I maintained my endurance training, it was no longer my primary focus.

It was incredibly satisfying to feel my strength increase as my training progressed, which is the reason I trained harder as each day passed.

Since that is the recommended amount of sleep, I slept for exactly eight hours each day. I ate meat, eggs, and other foods high in protein for my meals. Even though they tasted like crap, as the culinary level of this world is low, they were very beneficial to my body.

In addition to my training, I spent a lot of time studying to learn how to improve my training. Although I found useful information, it won't help me train muscles, but it will help me with my cultivation. Apart from that, I read books with information about the world that provided me with invaluable information that will help me in the future.

During these two months, I also gained an understanding of the situation at the mansion.

Apparently, father and the main wife do not and have never had a good relationship. They married for the sake of their respective families, which is referred to as an arranged marriage.

My biological sister is their biological child, but I am an adopted child. I was surprised to discover my adoption documents, but this will not interfere with my future plans; rather, it will be extremely beneficial.

To say the least, I was overjoyed with my adoption. I was concerned about my image in society if I married my sister, but now that I know she isn't my sister, I don't have to be. Plus, I can get close to my sister and then force her to find out the documents at a suitable time, which will then allow her to act on her feeling and not hold back. Even in the world of an eroge, it is not common for siblings to have romantic relationships.

Anyway, getting back to the point, the main wife and father had a huge fight, which caused her to leave the house for a while. If what I've heard is correct, they should be back in a week, and I can then start working on my plan for my sister.

'But does my stepmother know about my adoption? Her signature wasn't on the adoption papers, so that's unlikely.'

Of course, indirectly, I have to check the possibility once she's back. Who knows what I will found out?

'Welp, for now, I will train!'

Placing a fierce grin on my face, I made my way to the training grounds.

'It's still morning so, I have plenty of time to train.'

When I arrived at the training ground, I picked up a great wooden sword and swung it around. After getting used to the feeling of swinging the sword, I will start practising the actual sword techniques.

'Well, it's no use rushing! Let's go, step by step!'

I practiced swinging my sword all week to get used to the new feeling.

And finally the day of my stepmother's return, had finally arrived...
