In the midnight, when he returned to his bed in the hospital, he had been catching air, and his heartbeat was racing, and his body was exhausted.
"I'm glad I somehow managed to come back alive..." Ares exclaimed, lying on the ground, his clothes soaked in sweat.
All he did in that quest was run all the time, and he barely managed to come out. It's just luck that he came back thanks to the reward he gets in the dungeon, the boots that added to his mobility.
As he rested on the ground, recovering his energy and breathing in and out quickly He gazed at his stats, noticing that the daily quest was back to normal and the penalty had disappeared.
That day was one he didn't enjoy, and he suffered from running nonstop, In the morning, he prepared his clothes and left the hospital because he had fully recovered.
His body has been in good condition and feels lighter.
As he came back home, he had prepared and changed clothes to complete the daily quests early, It was still 8 A.M. when he got home.
He starts stretching his body for a few minutes before going out to run 10 km through the city. When he finally fully stretches his body, he goes out and immediately run, he uses his nose to increase his stamina and use oxygen more efficiently.
When he finishes his run, he starts 100 push-ups in the park. He begins to run out of gas, but he still continues.
and at the end of his workout, he rests for a minute and drinks some fresh water.
"Prgh"
Then he takes a while and catches some air and relaxes his body, his jacket has been sweating in his body, and his pants too.
When he comes back home, he goes to the bathroom and cleans his body to relax his muscles. After that, he comes out, goes to his room, sits in his chair, and opens his computer to search for clues about the key he found.
.....
Typing on his keyboard
He searched for information about the key he got, And minutes passed all he could see was vague information, and he rested his head in the corner of the chair, mindlessly staring at the ceiling.
feel disappointment, He summoned his attribute page.

"In the morning, Lily felt that her brother seemed a little different recently. He had also been quite busy over the past few weeks. While he was in front of the door tying his shoes, Lily approached him and asked...
"Brother, where are you going?" lily asked and holding her waist.
Ares looked up at her. 'I'll go to work,' Ares replied."
"What? Did you collapse during your last attempt?" lily shouted, pointing her finger at him.
"Ares stood up and pinched Lily's cheek. 'Don't worry about me, I'm fine now. It's been weeks since that."
'But...' Before Lily could say more, Ares convinced her that he was fine and assured her that he would be fine now, patting Lily on the head.
'Now I'll leave,' Ares exclaimed, lifting his hand.
Lily couldn't do anything but gaze at him until his presence vanished completely from the house.
She sighed for a moment and then returned to what she was doing.

As Ares approached the gate, the mining team noticed him and greeted him.
"Oh, isn't that Ares?" one of the mining team members said, pointing at him.
"You're right, he's finally back," Cameron said.
As Jayce heard this, he immediately approached Ares and asked.
"How is your body, Ares?"
"I'm fine now," Ares replied, patting his head.
"Good for you! It seems you're fully recovered," Jayce exclaimed, gazing at Ares body.
Jayce stood up in front and got their attention.
"You guys, from now on, will look out for our youngest co-worker. If anything happens to him, I'll be the one to deal with you." jayce shouted at them while patting Ares' shoulder on his side. Ares somehow blushed, feeling embarrassed, but he hid it. The mining team agreed to what Jayce said.
As they entered the dungeon, Ares' body felt at its peak, and he moved quickly. His comrades seemed to notice it.
"Hey, seems like Ares is strong today, huh?" one of the mining team members murmured, gazing at Ares' back.
"You're right," he agreed.
"Oh, it seems our Ares is fired up today," Cameron said. "You guys, don't be slow! Show your junior what you're capable of!" Cameron exclaimed, encouraging the team.
At the end of the day, they finished their work early and collected various mana crystals.
"Thanks to Ares, the team seemed fired up, and we finished the job early," Jayce thought.
Ares couldn't help but feel happy. His improvement in strength and physical attributes helped him a lot, thanks to the daily quests he had been receiving.
Ares wiped the sweat from his face. and Jayce approached him.
'Good job, kid. You can leave now and get some rest.'
Ares nodded in agreement and left immediately. Jayce smiled, somehow happy today, gazing at Ares as he walked away."
