Stealth

[You have slept in your bed. Your HP and MP have been fully restored. All ailments have been cured.]

I woke up the next morning feeling as refreshed as ever. My bed was very comfortable and with my gamer ability curing everything I could possibly have with just eight hours of sleep then it was no wonder I woke up feeling refreshed. My good humour also had to do with the fact that I had levelled up yesterday immediately after completing the quest of returning home by the time I wrote I was going to return. After that followed a cheerful dinner and I even helped mom with the dishes, which also earned me some good XP and very much desired reputation points with her. I was well on my road on banging Issei's mother and I felt damn proud of myself so cut me some slack okay.

I looked at the clock on my HUD and noticed that it was five in the morning –three hours before the time I needed to be at school- which gave me exactly two hours to start grinding stats points by doing physical activity. I already told Issei's mother my plans and she was once again pleasantly surprised by my decision to start exercising. I had to tell her that it would help me stop thinking about females out the time so she accepted it without too much issue. She was even proud and I got more reputation points with, her which was a plus.

I equipped a generic red coloured tracksuit and the most comfortable sneakers I owned before I sneaked out of the house trying to make as little sound I could. I wasn't surprised when a box appeared in front of my face telling me I earned a new skill for doing that.

[A new skill has been created through a special act. The skill 'Stealth' has been created.]

[Stealth. Active/Passive. Lvl 1 [0.0%]. Stealth is one of the bases of combat. If you can go through your enemies undetected then it's half of the battle won. You only have to hit them to put them down for good. Passively increases the perception of surroundings by 10%. When actively using Stealth chances for getting a Critical Hit are augmented by 200%. Cost: 15 MP.]

I gave a pleased smile as I thought of the possible uses I could give to this skill in combats situations before they even started before I dismissed the message and began to limber up for my run. I stretched my extremities until I felt they weren't stiff before I gave a few jumps in place to warm up. Five minutes after my warm-up began I felt ready and began to throttle at a steady pace making sure to breathe correctly and keep my core tight to get the most out of the exercise. I traced a route that will have me running for an hour more or less until I arrived at the park which was actually a fifteen minute walk away from my home where I would do other exercises for forty-five minutes giving me enough time to go back home to get ready for school with time to spare to get there on time.

10 minutes into the run I got bored. Oh sure I was already getting out of breath but I didn't want to think about it so I decided to get myself some headphones and put some badass music into it which would motivate me into continued exercising without giving it too much thought. You could go longer and push yourself forward if you weren't thinking about how tired you were so if I got some music to concentrate on then I won't feel as tired as I was feeling at the moment.

I barely managed to complete my run and I arrived at the park at the mark of one hour an ten minutes. It seemed like I was not still in the condition I required to make that route under an hour and I made that my goal for the next few days. I was at least rewarded one point to VIT for doing the run so feeling nauseous at the moment was worth it. Thanks to all the deities out there I didn't eat anything before I began this madness.

What followed next –after a short break of course- was me attempting to correctly do the most push-ups, sit-ups and squats my poor physical capabilities allowed me. It was excruciating. It was painful. But it was fucking worth it. By the time forty-five minutes rolled around I had gotten another point for VIT, and one point for both STR and DEX. And now let me tell you a secret about working out. It was all about 'destroying' your muscles so they would heal and become stronger than what the previously were and this is where Gamer Body allowed me to cheat. Any damage done to my body would immediately heal meaning that I did not have to wait days to see the result of my physical training. That was why my stats points rose so fast. My body was practically healing the damage and adapting as it was done. I still needed to put more effort into training the stronger I got but I would at least see the results right away.

Like Sun-Il would claim constantly. The Gamer ability is seriously broken but I wasn't complaining.

Anyways since I was done with what I decided was going to be my daily workout until further notice I began to hastily make my way back to the house. There were people already walking through the street and I wasn't going to let the opportunity to waste I spammed Observe on them. I didn't get a new level but I managed to grind it significantly. Like any other game the stronger you got the harder it'll be to grow but to me that just made it all the more interesting.
