7 7: Perks of Leveling up

Austin woke up early the next day, Due to the huge mental stress he felt because of continuously using mana for an hour straight, he felt extremely tired and slept earlier than usual.

Standing in the mirror, Austin looked at his body which was becoming more defined, his abdominal muscles were perfect and looked like they were sculpted by the hand of God himself.

He even noticed that he had grown slightly taller, after pulling out a tape measure, it was a height increase of around 3 cm, putting him at about 175 cm in height.

"to think leveling up would make my body stronger and reach its full potential" Austin was speechless, later today he would visit the gym at his school and test his bodily limits.

But first-

his stomach growled in hunger.

he needed to get some food to eat first.

After buying a lot of food, Austin sat down and ate with a smile on his face.

Especially with this new money-making method, he could spend as much money as he wanted and could make it right back immediately.

while eating he opened his phone and noticed a text message from his good buddy Malik.

the guy had sent him pictures of him on a date with a girl.

Austin seemed to recognize her as a girl in his class, short in stature but had above-average looks.

"damn, what type of brainwashing did you do to this poor girl" Austin replied before turning off his phone.

He wanted to warm up in the gym before creating another dungeon to train in today, he felt a lot more confident in dealing with zombies now, hopefully, he could reach level 5 within his limited 30 minutes.

--

After eating his breakfast, Austin found his way toward the huge weightlifting room.

the room was filled with many students who didn't have morning classes, many sports students could be found there, especially the football players who seemed to enjoy lifting.

Austin warmed up with 100 push-ups first, he could easily do those push-ups without breaking a sweat.

of course, the average lvl 4 human probably couldn't do this, he could only blame this on the body-refining pills which he had taken earlier.

After a short warm-up, Austin headed towards the weight lifting area and grabbed a hundred pounds dumbbells, Although it felt slightly heavy, Austin could still pick it up relatively easily with only just one hand.

Austin Stayed in the weight lifting room lifting weights and working out for an hour and a half before heading towards his dorm room to take a warm shower.

he had a class that he needed to attend sadly., he planned to create a dungeon after class was finished.

Austin made it to class on time and placed his books down before paying attention, After an hour and 15 minutes the class ended, signaling that all students could leave.

------

Austin was back inside a dungeon he created inside the main yard of the school!

"grass"

A zombie wearing tethered clothes could be seen rushing toward him.

bang!!

before the zombie could take another step, it was hit by a man shot and it's head blew apart while its body was sent flying into the distance.

All the zombies that Austin ran into didn't put up much of a fight, he didn't even need a sword anymore, just one mana shot and they would explode into rotten pieces of flesh, turning into experience points for him.

due to his speed of killing zombies, in 20 minutes, he went from level 3 to level 5!

[Ding!

Congrats on reaching level 5, the peak of average humans!

the System will now be upgraded

upgrade time: 5 minutes]

"a system upgrade?" Austin was surprised but he continued what he was doing and killing zombies, he usually only got money and body refining fills, but he still hadn't run into another skill book.

he got lucky yesterday when he managed to get the mana control skill book.

After 5 minutes the system finished upgrading and appeared in front of Austin.

"very good skills," Austin thought to himself, they both seemed like fundamental skills which he would need in the long run.

According to the system, his strength stat was for physical power, body strength, and muscle strength.

Vitality was for his [Hp], as his vitality increased he could take more damage and his defense would rise.

speed was self-explanatory, it was for his speed and agility.

intelligence was the stat that boosted his mental powers, as well as his mana power/control, it was a necessary stat to increase.

looking at his stat points, Austin contemplated where to put his points before making up his mind after a while.

he clicked on the "+" sign in front of his stats and started adding points.

3 points to strength, 2 to vitality, 3 to speed, and 2 to intelligence.

After applying these points, Austin could feel the changes going on through his body, the magical feeling lasted for a couple of minutes before it disappeared.

[Due to the host Reaching level 5, you can now stay in dungeons daily for up to 45 minutes]

the system's robotic voice sounded off in his head like usual.

[20 minutes remaining till the dungeon closes]
