2. I Live Here Now I Guess

When David woke up he realized he wasn't shackled or taken prisoner like thought he would be he looked around only to see Benjamin sitting down and making a stew of some sort.

It was at this point that Benjamin realized David woke up,

"For fucks sake kid you didn't even listen to my story before you tried to escape even though It was crystal clear to me who you were from the start I didn't hurt you or anything don't you think that was kind of rude"(Benjamin)

"Uhh, yeah, s-sorry I guess but what did you expect, the God Kings personal army killed my whole family even the people working in the family weren't spared they killed everyone"(David)

"Alright, Alright calm down, I am in the same situation as you only difference is it happened years ago, as the head of the God Kings army I had everything going for myself, I was powerful, I had a huge mansion with everything I could need, I was basically living my best life, I had a wife, a child, everything I could ask for. Then the god king gave us this mission to destroy a whole village because someone in the village stole some pricy ores from the nearby mines, until this point all of our missions were things you would expect like find and kill an assassin that is killing our generals, or assassinate an enemy general, or even go to the frontlines for help sometimes. It was at this point when he gave us the order that we kind of said we won't do it, if its that one guy then fine however we won't destroy a whole village, of course there were some people that were fine with it but the god ling had anyone that say no to it sent to the dungeons to be tortured for 15 years and had everyones family killed, its been about 25 years since then and I still want to crush the skull of the God King but I don't have the power and probably never will, but you no matter what I am not giving up, so now I gotta ask you something why is a 16 year old like you only lvl 1 even if you didn't kill anything you would level up from literally living to this age."(Benjamin)

"Do I have to tell"(David)

"It doesn't really matter but you'll be stuck here with me for a ling time just letting you know, since the closest settlement is the capital city you came from which is like 2 days worth of travel at least for you the next nearest place is still in the same way as the capital its just further away, the closest place you can fund this part of the capital is about two weeks worth of travel and even then I wouldn't advise you to go there either since most probably they already have the knowledge that a body from the noble family that got destroyed is missing. If you wan't to stay here you can and I'll even teach you how to fight and I have a few hundred skills I can teach you too however you can't freeload if you choose to stay you'll go out hunting to get the food."(Benjamin)

Slightly anxious, David started to look at his choices if he chose to go to the town that is two weeks of travel distance away he would most probably die on the way and even if he didn't he would probably get caught there, if he went back towards the capital thats even worse, since this Benjamin guy is giving me the option to stay with him I think I should take it it might be my only option to live. After thinking all of this for five minutes he came back to his senses as his stomach growled as if saying bitch you didn't give me any food for like 2 days straight wtf.

"I'm really liking the idea of staying here old man and don't worry I will get the food or at least try to every day"(David)

"Good now come eat something"(Benjamin)

As they both eat they talked about how their life was before the God King and then Benjamin started to give a life lecture on how the pain would decrease and all that jazz. Then Benjamin started to tell David some of the adventures he has been through, all the creatures he has seen, all the dungeons he has tried to clear, they both had a banger of a time since Benjamin really needed to socialize after not socializing with almost anyone for years and since David really liked the stories and actually wanted to be like Benjamin. They ate, drank some and slept through the night.

After sleeping David heard the voice he heard when he got shot with an arrow in the back that said I won't be saving you anymore say

"You can trust this guy he is a part of your destiny"(The Universe)

After hearing this David tried ti ask the universe what it was, what could it see in its future so on and so forth. The universe just chose to stay silent.

David woke up and started thinking about what this universe was, was it a god that made the universe, was it just the universe, if it was how could it communicate, as he was thinking all these things he heard Benjamin's voice

"Your training starts today kiddo its about 7 am we start at 8 am you will train for 4 hours take a 1 hour break and then train for 4 more hours. the breakfast and lunch I will provide however for the dinner you will have to find food yourself as the time progresses I will ask you to gather more and more food and after a month or two you will have to find all three meals for both you and me on your own."(Benjamin)

David thought he would have to train on his free time before Benjamin said all this, so he was actually pretty happy that Benjamin wouldn't just teach him a skill or two and make him gather food all day.

"Sure I'll be out and ready in an hour"(David)

"GOOD, MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY"(Benjamin)

As Benjamin said this he started smiling creepily, David was now scared of what his training would be like. He washed his face wore the spare clothes Benjamin gave him, they were kind of oversized but what could he do Benjamin was a 1.98 meter guy with huge muscles, he was long too standing at 187 cm the only problem is he didn't have muscles like hulk, needles to say the clothes looked really out of place on his body. He had a quick breakfast and went out to see what had Benjamin Planned for him.

As David got out of the hut he saw that there was these all different contraptions and a parkour and a running track and all these different things needed to work out efficiently.

Benjamin was standing there looking all smug then David asked Benjamin how did he get all this done in one night which Benjamin answered

"one night I was only working on these things for the last two hours, its not that hard kiddo as you level up really high you'll see but before you level up too much You have to first get the stat points you can get from working out as they decrease after you get every occupation or upgrade one and I have something planned for your occupation too. I won't be suppressing your choices by any stretch of the imagination don't worry, I won't make you choose better stats over better skill levels or anything, but I plan to make your close combat skill level up all the way up to 750 or more before you get your occupation. As that skill is the key to almost any occupation."(Benjamin)

David was wondering if he had chosen wrongly on staying here as Benjamin was way more into this than even he was and he is the one thats going to get stronger. As he was thinking all this he heard Benjamin shout what the hell are you waiting for an invitation start running.

As Benjamin shouted this David started running toward the running pit that had all these different kinds of obstacles he had to either jump over, go under or sometimes even dodge because there were some swinging boulders and shit it was a fucking mess, as he tried to run through the field he got git by almost half of the stuff he was supposed to dodge he tripped and fell down a few times and while all this was happening, Benjamin was shouting if he was slow, he would have to run 10 more laps, how he would make him regret living, so on and so forth.

As he finished his 10th lap he was basically unable to breathe sweating buckets, with already sore legs, all kinds of bruises all over his body, even some cuts where there was still blood flowing.

As he finished the run in three hours he still had one more hour of workout left. He left the running pit and asked Benjamin what is the next machine, he was directed to a machine where his legs were basically unable to move only movement was on his upper body and it was a contraption where he would punch somewhere and another punch would come towards him and he had to dodge it with his upper body, after doing this for like 10 minutes both because of the run beforehand and the attacks that came back to him and hit him, David passed out, seeing this Benjamin was kind of shocked, not because David passed out but because David was able to hold on until now.

David woke up in a bath as he looked around he felt really powerful and also refreshed he decided check his character sheet to see what the hell was going on.
