Training
Regal woke up the next day at 5:30 AM. He wore the new outfit and went on a jug, with a jug he meant a half marathon. He got 1 point of stamina taking it to 19. With that, he reached the closest gym to his house.
It's 6 AM the gym is already open Regal greeted the receptionist.
"Good morning brother how are you doing?" greeted Regal.
Receptionist: "Good morning I'm good, how can I help you"
Regal: "Can I get a day pass?"
Receptionist: "Sure, that will be 200DA (1 dollar)"
"here you go" Regal entered the gym it wasn't big or small just enough, it was clean and the machines looked new. He was satisfied with the gym, so he stretched a bit and went for the training 'This is gonna be hard.' But with Gamer's body, he had nothing to worry about.
Regal went directly to the bench press, he put 100Kg and started warming up…
His training is not like any training he wants to get to failure as much as possible. If it was a normal human this would be harmful to the joints and whatever, but that's how the gamer body works the more stress the bigger the results.
After a 3 hours training session, his body is sore he even took some damage while doing his crazy training. But he knows that it was worth it, he gained 6 points of strength and 3 of stamina.
Stamina 18 > 21
Strength 15 > 21
Regal ate some fast food on the way back home and of course, ran the half marathon. Arriving at home he decided to start the real experiment. He opened Google Maps and found the nearest forest, he took a quick shower and took a taxi there.
When Regal arrived at the forest he took half an hour to get deeper, "Now to the real stuff." Regal raised his hand and tried to put strength into it as described in the manhwa. After a few seconds…
[You gained skill Energy Bolt]
[Energy Bolt:(Active) Level 1/30MP
A skill A skill that attacks by emitting mana. Attack power increases by INT. Range is 10m.]
"nice now let's see if I can create a dungeon, Although I don't have high expectations for that."
Regal raised his hand for a second time and tried to imagine creating a barrier… 5 seconds… 30 seconds… "As expected, it didn't work, after all in the manhwa it's Gaia who creates them."
Regal pointed his hand towards the tree, he tried to feel the mana pass it through his hand and a blueish white sphere formed in his palm. As if it read his thought the sphere launched towards the tree.
Boooooom
The tree exploded but the explosion wasn't big. "Good but not enough"
He pointed his hand towards another tree but this time the Energy Bolt started spinning. When Regal saw his MP bar almost empty, he launched the ball into the tree. this time the ball completely obliterated the tree making it fall.
[You Gained Spiral Energy Bolt] 200MP
[Spiral Energy Bolt: (Active) Level 1
A technique used to gather and spin an immense amount of mana in a spiral form. The spin greatly increases its piercing power, and the increased amount of mana also greatly increases its strength. 20% defense penetration. 600% attack damage increase. 4 second spin time. Depending on the user's wish, it is possible to increase the spin time to 10 seconds. There is an additional attack damage increase as the spin time increases. The power of this attack can be adjusted on how much MP is applied.]
"This is too strong I can't hide my marks like this" Regal looked at the trail of destruction through the forest. "Meh who cares in this country even if someone finds it, it will take a year to start an investigation if they did one."
"Although I don't have mana affinity yet, I want to try creating Mana Shield and Mana Arrow. But I don't have enough mana." Regal didn't want to meditate in the middle of the forest, especially with the mess he had done.
After changing places and recovering some mana, Regal started testing again trying to get the Mana Arrow and Spinning Mana Arrow. The first 3 times were failures till he succeeded.
[Mana Arrow: (active) Level 1/5MP:
An attack skill that hardened mana into an elongated shape. Only possible for those talented in manipulating mana.]
[Spinning Mana Arrow: (Active) Level 1/7MP:
A long-distance attack skill with increased piercing power by adding a strong spin to a mana arrow.]
Mana Arrow was a bit weaker than expected, but the spiral arrow was better than a large caliber bullet, it went through the tree like butter. "It looks like this will be the go-to in the gate opening."
Regal wrapped up for today. He knew he couldn't keep practicing in the forest or he would destroy it in a few days. "Maybe I should go on top of a mountain or something… Yeah, tomorrow will be on top of a mountain it's going to be a good stamina workout."
After going out of the forest Regal decided to sprint back home "The pain is gone long ago, I might just train more."
Stamina 21 > 24
Agility 13 > 15
After Regal got home, he took a quick shower and thought of a plan. 'Now that I got something to defend myself with, I'll use what I think is the most effective way to increase my status points, which Jihan used to run till you are tired recover run again. Since I don't have a dungeon, I'll just do it in real life.'
'There is one thing missing… Mana Shield. I'll try to get it if it doesn't work, I'll just do it anyway.' For the sake of this crazy training, he used almost half of his money to buy water, food, and weights. As for where he'll sleep, he knows that there are hospitable people everywhere in this country and they'll take care of him. Even if he was unlucky, he'd just rent a room.
AN: I'm now focusing on the status points he can get without leveling up, don't worry I'll focus more on mana and magic later when the gates open.
Ps: He can't level up more than 2 or 3 levels before the gates, which means he can't get intelligence points. Reading books and studying can get some but it's not effective. As for why he has such a high intelligence, we'll see in his Past Life chapter.
