After the short farewell, Leo starts moving fast. Just two days ago he was barely walking, and now he could run if the times calls for it.
Leo casually jumps of from 3inches high from a rock towards the ground.
I can't sense any strong monster nearby.
Leo had walked for 2 hours continuously and had now decided to rest.
[Vitality : 11/15]
'Although the vitality drainage has improved a lot, I guess it's all thanks to stamina. But nevertheless I still need to recover myself.'
'Now that I've found a safe place, I'll have to start doing physical exercises.'
There were dead tress all over the place, the rocks were pilled up everywhere. In an instance it could even be called as a mountain. But it wasn't the case.'
'Just where on earth am I?'
'Now that I think of it, I haven't met any signs of human beings. There should have been atleast a clue or something.'

Hdhshah hfjdksj ahshjs
Some weird noises could be heard somewhere far away from Leo.
Ahhdh djfkks hobjd sdgbt (Sir we should retreat)
It was the sound of Skeleton talking to another skeleton. It looked like the larger one was their superior.
The skeleton speaking was about 5'5 tall while the superior was about 6 feet
[Skeleton Soldier (Squad Leader)]
[Level : ?]
The person that was speaking to his superior was the head.
[Skeleton Soldier (Head)]
[Level : 6]
There were about 50 soldiers that were behind the head skeleton. All of them were of the same height at 5 feet.
[Skeleton Soldiers]
[Level : 2]
They were hiding in the bush while observing dozens of flower monsters.
The head seemed scared as it warned the superior. Although one couldn't see any kind of expression from a literal skeleton, but it's words were enough to understand the severity of the situation.
All of the skeletons were holding a sharp sword, the head was holding a wand in his hand and their superior, the 6 feet tall giant was holding a long sword covered in golden colour.

Leo on the other hand gets up after meditating for a while.
[Vitality : 15/15]
Leo was doing meditation in hopes to level up his passive skill 'Insight' as he believed it was sooner or later gonna breakthrough.
'Not enough huh, guess I'll need to keep on meditating for quite a while'
'There isn't any signs of dangerous monsters so far, I should take it easy.'
Leo stretches his arms and legs and soon puts his arms and legs on the ground.

Four
Leo was doing now pushups.
Seventeen.
Hufff
Leo was out of breath as he barely reaches 17 mark.
'Back in the days I could only do no more than 100 push ups despite the regular exercises, but now I could do 17 in just my first try. There really is no end to this system's unfairness.'
For the next 6 hours Leo started doing push ups till the vitality dropped to 0.
Haaaffff
Leo was struggling to breath as the vitality went to it's lowest.
Leo was full of sweat despite not having any skin. With vitality being at it's lowest, Leo just fell towards the ground, his vision was starting to get blurry as he slowly falls unconscious.
[Vitality : 1.0]
[Vitality : 0.9]
It happened immediately. As soon as the vitality dropped below 1 he lost his vision and fell unconscious.

After seeing his vitality being fully recovered Leo immediately starts to do pushups and squats. 'I need to maximize my growth, I am still way too weak.'
'Plus I don't feel any pain nor do I feel tired in any way. Everytime I recover I feel fresh as if nothing happened before.'

As soon as Leo reached 1 vitality he stopped as he didn't want to lose unconscious again.
'Now it's time for meditation'
Leo starts talking deep breath. His body was finally starting to recover.
As the wind slowly passes by, Leo had finally opened his eyes.
[Vitality fully recovered!]
'Still not enough?' as Leo checks his status he couldn't see any chances in his skill. But he knew that he was sooner or later reach towards the peak.
Leo could feel bad pressure coming from far away so he decides to make haste and leave the place.
'This was a fruitful workout, I guess this is where I will have to go back to hunting.'
The noise suddenly started to become more ominous, Leo quickly starts to run towards the north.
'At this rate he'll catch up to me.' Leo was running extremely fast as he jumps from rocks and stretches his legs like an ostrich and crawling towards the walls at an unprecedented speed. But the monster was just too fast.
Leo quickly finds a cave like spot thanks to his insight skill and decides to hide there.
Soon few seconds after the monster passes by extremely fast. It didn't seem to have noticed Leo or maybe it just deliberately ignored him.
The monster moved like the wind, it's entire body was as if it's a shadow.
Pretty sure it was moving at a speed of 100kmh (62.14mph)
Leo left out a huge breathe. 'All this time I felt invincible after only working out and leveling up once but this was nasty. No way I am gonna catch up to that monster or the giant any time soon.'
'Just how many more monsters are there lurking in this place. And did humans went extinct or something?'
'Wait, now that I think about it, I am most definitely inside a skeleton. Does this mean this body previously had a owner? If so then it must also be a human originally.'
As soon as the monster passed by, the birds around the forest starts panicking.
Leo quickly stopped thinking and stares at the birds.
"It's time to level up."
