Chapter 6: The First Meditation
The forest seemed calm after the battle, as if the earth had caught its breath. Adam pressed forward, the weight of the savage battle still upon his head. His steps were deliberate, his ears attuned to the faintest sound. Every snap of a branch or rustle of a leaf made his heart skip a beat, though no new anger arose.
At sunrise, Adam found a lonely tree. A river flowed through the snow, the water crystal clear. This place was surrounded by tall trees Thick trees, their shadows a sense of security.
"It's okay," he whispered, putting down the weapons he had seized from the robbers. His body ached and was exhausted, but the system's words echoed in his mind.
< The leader had received enough resources. It was time to focus on the garden. >
Adam sat with his legs crossed on the soft grass, his breathing calm.
"System, show me what to do."
< beginning of guide Focused meditation on drawing spiritual energy and refining the receptive body. Follow the breathing pattern given. >
Adam closed his eyes and surrendered to the guidance of the system. He breathed deeper, and with each breath, he tapped into the invisible energy that surrounded him. The world seemed to be buzzing with life, faint strings of spiritual energy pulsing through his consciousness.
The system's instructions were clear and precise, leading him to collect electricity and leading in his body. It was like trying to force a river through narrow channels - difficult and draining, but impossible.
Time passed, but how much Adam could not tell. His mind sank into the rhythm of the chase, his body quivering as the force settled into his bones. The feeling of pain and excitement, like fire and ice running through his veins.
< Progress: 35% bone destruction. A small increase in strength was achieved. >
When Adam opened his eyes, the sun had sunk low in the sky, a long golden shadow. He twisted his fingers and marveled at the new light on his body.
The system's voice returned, not always.
< The thought was complete. Good progress The leader must continue to work to increase strength. >
Adam stood, the pain in his body replaced by warmth. He looked at the river and took the cold water in his hands to drink. he The mirror looked back at him, thin but strong.
"This is the beginning,"
muttered as he picked up the bandit's short sword. "I want to be stronger. Be stronger"
His voice was more thoughtful now, along with the progress he made. His journey wasn't over, but for the first time he was able to focus on what was in front of him.
