「 CHAPTER 13: Productive Day 」
I spent the rest of the day laying in bed after I came back home from the funeral.
I used the time to close my eyes and meditate, I did this for about 8 hours.
[ Day 2/7 ]
Then morning came it is now day 2 of my last week stay here in the Camp.
My mind is now finally clear and I am calm, with all of the things that had happened to me became a stepping stone for me to grow.
I opened my eyes while sitting in a full lotus position. "I need to start my morning routine" I stood up and stretched my whole body, bones started crackling as I stretch.
I began warming up my body by doing a whole body exercises, preparing for the ahead.
"Phew! That should be enough warm-up exercises."
I wiped the sweat off my face and body with a towel. I lifted my shirt up and saw that the abs in my body developed much better showing a satisfying result of my training.
Last night I remembered a so-called 'hidden' feature in the game that many playes talked about. It was "Training", It's a feature that doesn't have a Window. They it acts like a passive ability that allows the avatar to do workouts in-game and increase their stats slowly. And today, I'm here to test it out.
Even a 30-minute whole body warm-up wasn't enough to tire my body out. It's strange that I can still sweat but I never run out of stamina but I guess it's just real life...
I have the ability that many bodybuilders, weightlifters and powerlifters dream about, having an unlimited stamina, so why not make the most of it right?
I can just heal the muscle soreness once it starts reconstructing the muscles to accelerate it.
A tiny ray of light slowly glimmered through the dark hut giving a soft yet cozy glow and feel, the sun was rising.
I opened the door and saw the beautiful sunrise shining light. I left the hut and began jogging around the camp. I would often bump into fellow students who were running as well.
Two hours later, I was still jogging, people bagan counting how many laps I had done now...
* DING! *
Then a window showed up with an alert...
[ Alert! New Feature Discovered! ]
[ Training ] - Train your body and slowly level up your status without the need for experience!
My mouth unconsciously moved on its own forming a huge smile on my face.
"There it is! I knew it! It's true! The book I saw from the game was right! There was a hidden feature in the game that cannot be done by players!"
Back when I would still actively play the game, I was mindlessly walking through a forest and I came across a book that was strangely burrowed deep inside a tree.
I was curious so I destroyed the tree and got the book. I read the book's title once it got into my inventory "Training for Idiots" was the title.
It sounded funny so I took a look inside a little bit, a bold text caught my eye saying "Training is a part of the game" but, there were no Training features or anything in [ LEGACY ] so I thought that maybe it's just a random game item so I just threw it away."
But I was in complete shock and joy over the discovery I found, a way to get stronger and level up stats faster without getting hurt.
Due to the effect of a curse, I take twice damage from any source, meaning I could now level up without having to worry about dying.
Overjoyed, I began running as the window of the alert followed me. I started sprinting much faster as my feet stepped into the grass leaving deep footprints.
* DING! * [ +0.1 Agility ]
A window popped up once again.
"There it is! It's true!"
My eyes widened and shined with joy and hope of getting stronger with a much better method.
[ Due to the effect of a blessing, +400% points is in effect. ] [ +0.1 -> +0.5 Agility ]
Huh...? What's...this? T-the b-blessing...?
"N-no way... Isn't this a bit of a cheat?"
I sat in a squat position processing what just happened. I was flabbergasted, unable to speak, I was frozen as if time had stopped. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped.
"T-Th-This.. i-i-is..?" his voice little by little got out from his mouth. "I-isn't t-this, c-cheating?" His voice trembled as he raised his hand towards the window but before he could touch it, it disappeared.
Kayden shook his head to compose himself. He set it aside for the moment and continued his run.
"If what that alert said was true, then I'd have to check it out later, but for now I have to finish my run." More footsteps appeared on the grass as he took more laps.
His shirt soaking wet was now gone. As he continued his lap, he felt the cold fresh morning air through his topless body as droplets of sweat dripped down from his hair and elbows. His glossy sweaty body was illuminated by the golden sunlight of the morning sun.
30 minutes after he started running again, Kayden finally stopped to heal his sore legs and calves. 「 Healing 」 a skill he acquired from killing Lars back in the prison.
He hovered his hand on the spot where it sores the most and casted Healing without the need to chant it or say the spell.
His palm started glowing green and spread to his leg and immediately the soreness was gone as if it was never there.
Kayden felt as if his leg was being covered with thick and cold smoke that recovered his muscle soreness.
"This is basically cheating, this is something you'd never get to try or do in the game because it's not coded in, but since this is real life, the possibilities are endless."
Kayden smiled and went back and shut the door of his hut. Inside, Kayden stood and summoned his Status window, the glowing soft light of the window glimmered through the room, reflecting on Kayden's widening eyes.
"After I killed Lars, I gained a lot of things using the blessings of the ring." He muttered to himself.
"Thanks to the experience buff I quickly raised to Level [ 28 ]" Kayden's face grew solemn as he realized that Lars gained a lot of experience points from killing innocent people, including his friend.
He shook his head off as he had moved on from the situation and he promised that he would help the people at the camp return to Earth.
Kayden swiped his hand. "「 SKILLS 」." The Skills window showed up and listed all of the skills and magic he acquired.
[ Avalon's Flame ] - with the blessing of Avalon, the God of Fire and Chaos, Kayden was given the power to manipulate fire at will.
[ Greater Healing ] - a magic spell that heals a person's severe wounds in seconds.
[ God's Lungs ] - a passive that grants Kayden the ability to never run out of stamina.
[ Loki's Mischief ] - Loki, the God of mischief, grants Kayden the ability to inflict deadly poison attacks on enemies for a period of time. An ability that inflicts enemies who are immune to poisons.
Kayden nods his head with satisfaction, he swiped the Skills window making it slide up and disappear. He then dragged the Status Window in front of him and chuckled.
"I didn't touch my [ SP ] because I was saving it, but now I think it's time to use all 63 [ SP ]."
He then thought carefully about how would he distribute the [ SP ].
