Chapter 14 - Jump

On the group chat on earth.

[ See more… ]

[ Gordak: Let's bet on how many hours he can survive. ]

One of the chatters said, 

Wanting to have fun as he watches Steve on the screen being murdered or killed. 

[ Tanama: Let's create a poll on how many hours he would survive. ]

One of them said the way her words are typed means she is an elite female chatter.

She hated Steve for being horny, choosing the Asura race and being hopeless.

This time, she wanted to ignite a fire to make the situation lively.

[ Old_Drunkard: Let's do it!!!" ]

A random chatter added.

[ Snake_Bum: Let's put some merit points in it. ]

Another charger was added, making the fire whose light shines even brighter.

He screamed.

Ding!

[[ Poll for Representatives survival. ]]

[[ Within 1 hour = 76 percent. ]]

[[ Within 2 hours = 11 percent. ]]

[[ Within 3 hours = 2 percent. ]]

[[ Within 4 hours or more = 1 percent. ]]

Seeing this, only one voted for it within four hours.

However, there are plenty of people who voted for that.

At the boxing gym, Raven man was just there observing Steve.

"Raven Green voted for him without merit points."

One of the ninjas, wearing a red costume, shouted and complained at Raven.

"I told you, that guy is powerful. That's why I know what will happen."

The kid in a green costume said.

He was the one who got his neck snapped by Steve because he denied his invitation to become a pupil in the boxing gym, so he is confident in that guy's power.

"What if you fail? Are you underestimating the Asura race?"

One of the ninjas around Raven Man spoke. Her costume was violet, and with long black hair on her back.

"Just believe me!"

The ninja kid in the green superhero costume said with determination in his eyes.

He is not spouting nonsense. He is sure.

With no hesitation, he pointed his finger at Raven and asked.

"Raven, tell them I am telling the truth!"

He shouted at the top of his lungs.

Raven Man had a headache with these kids. 

Why did you guys even let him have your merit points used by him?

He thought, yet he knew it was useless as they were adamant about getting the answer.

"Yes "

He said.

He didn't want to elaborate further as he wanted the man's existence a secret.

Hearing this, the squad had their eyes widened.

All of them are thinking the same thing.

Why did you even call us here? 

Soon their faces dropped as they realised that the Raven man was just making things sure.

Back to the game survival world.

Steve was looking everywhere with his eyes.

After thinking there was nothing in there, he just stood there, took a stance and drove a punch in the air with his shoulder.

Swapak!

Steve might be punching in the air, but he knows his surroundings.

Whenever he heard a scuttle, he knew that he was in danger.

That's when he would leave.

Ding! [

[ Shrinking! ]

[[ O ]]

[[ O ]]

A man was shown in the system in front of him. Whenever it was shown, he would just follow it obediently.

Would he care for it?

No!

Would he care if he met an Asura? 

Yes, but he wouldn't care if they attacked him with the shadow or at his back.

Suddenly, while wandering in the forest, he saw a vast wall.

"Jump?"

Steve said while staring at the wall from bottom to top.

"Shit, I must jump to my highest to reach that."

Steve could see that it was about a hundred feet.

Reaching the 10th order, Steve can jump thirty feet effortlessly. 

However, jumping a hundred feet is his limit, so he needs to jump correctly.

"How to jump again?"

He asked himself.

Even if he's been jumping since he was a kid, he knows there is a proper technique for hopping. 

Landing improperly can wreck his knees and eventually put him out of commission. 

So he jumped a little.

"Hah!"

He shouted.

This is so he can remember the basics of jumping vertically and horizontally and some good tips for improving his hops.

After a few minutes of familiarising himself, he finally opened his mouth.

"Alright."

Steve drops into an imaginary chair. 

He must bend his knees to get the most power out of his legs and heighten his jump. 

For many, imagining sitting in an imaginary chair just before the jump is helpful. 

"Alright, now check my feet."

Steve said.

His feet should be about shoulder-width apart, his hips flexed at 30 degrees, knees bent at sixty degrees, and ankles flexed twenty-five degrees to generate the most power without injuring his knees.

"Now my toes."

Steve continued.

He checked that he should be able to lift his toes up and down while sitting in this squat form, balancing on the balls of his feet.

Steve looked up.

He could see the top of the ear. Hell, he didn't have a plan for going around it.

Steve drove another punch in the air.

To avoid his system,m drain has performed punches.

After shadowboxing, Steve stared at his feet again.

He is careful that his knees are not pointing inwards in a "knock-knee" position, with his toes pointed inward. 

Keeping his knees as straight as possible, ideally positioned vertically over his toes. 

Steve also has his arms at his sides.

Keeping his back very straight while he is jumping. 

With his feet on the ground.

Swoof!

He shot upward!

However, while in the air, Steve's face changed!

"I did something wrong."

He cursed.

"It's not properly done."

He muttered.

Adequately done, his feet should've rolled forward, from his heels to your toes, as he jumped off. 

However, Steve didn't feel pressure on his heels moving up his feet towards his toes as he came back to a standing position, 

normally, and in a jump, he should've done the same thing much more quickly. 

He did the way to his toes and jumped.

Ding!

[ Felt a pain in the knees and toes. ]

[ Reduced performed punches: 2,000 performed punches. ]

The system notified him.

Seeing this, Steve felt his body freeze up. However, he was still in the air, so he composed himself and recovered fast.

'I'll just climb!'

He said in his mind.

He wanted to fall back to the ground and jump again in the correct one so it would be perfect and he would have peace of mind.

However, Steve said he needed more time to perfect it since the void was shrinking.

Using his left hand, Steve struck the wall of mud to his side to lock it in and not fall back to the ground.

Bang!

Steve waited for the system to notify him again about the pain, yet he didn't receive any.

However, his eyes went wide when another notification appeared.

Ding!

[ The host is not shadowboxing and performing punches. ]

[ Reduced performed punches: 16,000 performed punches. ]

Walker, while he was walking, he already spent eight thousand of his punches.

Now that he is not shadowing boxing, it has become sixteen thousand.

"32,000 is the next one. I only have 74,000 punches saved. I don't want to lose it all.'

Steve said, climbing to the top of the without further ado wall since he was almost there when he jumped.

He only made a little mistake why he didn't fully reach the top, yet he is near.

On the [[ general chat ]

Steve's video was highlighted as many people were watching him.

People that wanted him dead.

People that wanted to have fun with him.

And people just wanted to see how strong or weak he was.

They are watching everything.

[ See more. ]

[ TorchBoy883_: Haha! Finally, we are going to see some action! ]

He said as he watched Steve climbing up near the top.

[ Lady_Magoth: He will be surprised once he sees what is waiting for him ]

She said, waiting for Steve's reaction. She also wants to see the first blood.

[ Jagoota: Kill the horny, kill the horny! ]

A cheering one chatted, he saw that up there, there was a creature waiting for Steve.

[ Galmana: Hoooooo, don't die quickly, don't die! We still want to see you fight and be fucked by an Asura. ]

Back to the game, back where Steve was.

He managed to climb and reach the top.

He didn't suffer enough injury, so the system said nothing.

As soon as he reached the top of the wall, he made a boxing stance!

Without wasting a second, he drove a punch with his shoulder again.

Swoof!

Ding!

[ Shadow boxing: Almost perfect jab, 100 punch. ]

Seeing this had a sigh of relief.

If he didn't make it in time, the punches that would be reduced would be thirty-two thousand.

With an hour of shadow boxing, he only made 10,000. What is he going to do if he doesn't make it?

Suddenly, Steve felt his feet tingle as the ground rumbled.

At his back, a shadow of an unknown creature appeared.
