It been two weeks since I start my training and a week since I discover I have no way to access mana for magic. It was very frustrating as I have zero ways to give myself an edge.
I was hoping that I could at least get reinforcement magic, the most basic of all magic that can be used by every mages and the most versatile. But alas, my hope was crushed.
After giving the cow a butchering that it didn't deserve, use its leather for a temporary clothes and having a surprisingly enjoyable feast with roasted beef, I finally decided to increases my training regime far more from what my body could handle, and there was one time where I collapse from overworking, which is right now.
"Grraghh...." I snarls in frustration as I was unable to move my exhausted body. I am frustrated that my body is still weak despite all the training. I was frustrated at my current situation.
I was hoping that I could gain magic to make up my weak body, gaining at least an advantage against any opponent I might faces in the future. With how the world was like, the danger level of each opponent grows and even one of them are gods.
I hope I didn't face any of them.....I won't last long against them.
I curse at myself for my own weakness while gripping the ground and trying to get up, but the searing pain from overwork myself prevents me to do such things.
I can feel my muscles burning in agony, my joints stop moving like poor-oiled machine, my back feels like it's getting crushed by a giant boulder and a gigantic monster at the same time, my head hurts like it was getting split open while my eyes feels like it get squeezed by someone. My lungs burning and my throat hurts like hell.
In the end, my body can't handle the pain and collapse once more. My body refuses to move no matter how much I willed it to do it.
I feel tears falling from my eyes as I grit my teeth out of frustration. I hate this so much. Why did my life has flip upside down so badly in just a matter of few weeks!?
I didn't want any of this. I just want to have a normal life, normal job, a simple and mundane shit! Not whatever this stupid isekai life offers me!!
I want to go home...I miss my friends....my teacher...hell, I even miss my parents.....
Getting bored for the rest of my life with nothing but normal and mundane days are far better than this!
I.....I want to go home.....
----------------------------------------------------------
I didn't realizes that I actually cry myself to sleep. As I try to get up, I can feel the pain coursing through my body.
I slowly crawl myself into my makeshift camp and grabs some moonlight apples and recovery herb to make myself a healing concoction again.
Thankfully, I finally able to find a right ratio for the ingredients so the concoction is...consumable. It took a while but it's better be late than never.
I still remember I almost puke the whole thing out because of how weird it taste is and how sensitive my sense of taste actually is.
I sigh as I drink the whole thing down, slowly recovering my fatigue. I never would've thought I will use a seemingly useless recovery item in such way and it works.
I can see that my body feels like a normal human. A bit on the lean side, but no sign of muscles growth. It's far better than the twig I was 2 weeks ago.
.....is this level of growth normal or is it because of the healing concoction that I can push my muscle beyond my actual limit and grew faster?
Nah, my body still unable to handle long term exercise.....which I'm going to fix right now. I never expect myself to focus this much on working out.
I try to get up but my legs give in and almost fall into the ground face first if I didn't stop myself crash into the ground. Damn it, overwork really did a toll on my body.
I guess I really need to lay down and recover before I can continue. No point of dying without any reason.
I lied down on the ground before I heard my stomach growls. I grunt in annoyance before trying to get close to the riverside and went for fishing. It was as usual, getting few fishes and gut them before cooking it.
I froze when I notice the same bunny was several meters away from me. Before I could move at all, the bunny hopped away and my body was too tired to throw any dagger.
I seriously grow tired of that bunny mocking me by continue to come back and escape so easily. How does that bunny were so lucky all the fucking time!?!?
I sigh before simply eating the fish. The fish still remains bland as fuck but it gives enough nutrients for me. I really glad that I'm not as unlucky as those cartoon characters that never got any fish for hours.
How did that even happen in the first place anyways? Wrong bait? Wrong spots? Or just plain sucks?
....I was this desperate to escape reality that I didn't realize I try to figure out how cartoon logic works, huh?
Damn it, I miss modern society...it's not perfect but isekai world are just too much for me. How did those people want to get isekai'd anyways?
Oh right, they got magics and powers, unlike me. Anyone will do anything to get magic, including travel through world just to get it.
Speaking of isekai, are there other people got isekaid into this world like me? If so, I bet my ass that god or goddess were the one responsible for their circumstances and probably get magics or auras.
....I really need to stop myself before I go open mouth insert foot at the wrong person.
