Because Elliot spends most of his day sleeping he couldn't get back to sleep again, seeing that there is nothing that he could do, and right now still in the afternoon, he goes to exercise in the room. He tried the exercise that he did before going inside the system and while his body hasn't fully transformed to what he had in 7 days in the white space, He could already see the difference, such as when he started to try to push up even going through 5 counts already make his hands trembled that he needs to hold his breath so that he could push the count to 6 and collapse after that.

But now Elliot could do 50 pushups before he could feel the fatigue on his muscle. the same with his situps, and squat jumps it almost impossible to connect the weak and fragile Elliot with this stronger Elliot if no one sees him doing the workout at all.

Trying to find his limit Elliot keep doing the workout for till all his hands and legs become filled with lactic acid, with all his muscle become tired, he stops the repetition and dries his body with the shirt he put aside before he starts the workout.

Right after he dries himself he takes his tower and other items and goes to take a shower.

Finish with his shower, Elliot was thinking of going outside to get some food, but before he got outside he remembers that the system got food and he can cook inside the space. But as he wants to go inside the space Adam makes him stay and eat outside, since Elliot needs to be seen outside buying his food and other stuff to sustain his daily life. After being told like that by Adam, Elliot thing that makes sense.

Imagine what will happen when someone who doesn't have any economic flexibility available from government suddenly stops coming to where he needs to be to get his foods while still become better and better without any other income would make people question what's going on with him.

And when Elliot comes to the food court that available in the apartment the auntie that Elliot usually buys foods from, she asks Elliot where he was the whole day that he doesn't come eat in the lunch.

"Hey, Aunt Janice. I felt tired from my school activity yesterday so I sleep the whole day and just wake up just now, and right now I'm famished!" Elliot came up with the excuse he prepared before he comes down and sees that the excuses are accepted since she doesn't ask for more information from him.

"Right since you are in school, the activity should make you busy but you need to take care of your body more. Since the day almost is done and there are still some leftover Auntie will give more for you for the usual prices. Remember you need to take care of your body even when you are busy." As she talks, she gives more meat and vegetables to Elliot's plate.

"I will aunt Janice thanks for the food I will go to eat now." While where they live are the government that provides for the place and cheap foods the resident consumes. Some resident tries to help each other, while the other try to mind their own business. Take an example of aunt Janice, while she works at the canteen here, she often helps those who need helps with what she can. While she can give free foods she often gives more than she should to those who need them.

Those who know turn a blind eye for what she does because while they mind their own business it still nice to have people around you that help each other.

Sitting alone in the table near the wall. Elliot tries to finish his food as soon as possible.

Finish with his food and bringing the food tray to the washing station and saying his goodbye to the auntie Janice and going back to his room. On the way to his room, he meets uncle Robert from next door while he was in the stair.

"Hey, Elliot how are you today? Are you still doing your exercise?

"Yes, uncle Robert. While it's hard I'm doing my best to get my self more exercise."

"Really? What's the occasion? since you never seem to try exercise after you tried it once 2 years ago?"

"Haha, yes I just read that while I'm going to apply to the science division. While there isn't any heavy lifting to be done, they still need a good body to help to do the research."

"Ahh, Right. Tell me if you need help with your exercise okay. While I'm doesn't seem like it. I used to become a team leader for my party of adventures you know!" Robert says while he limps through the fleets of stairs, patting Elliot's shoulder after they reach Elliot's doors.

"I will ask for your help later if I couldn't figure things out, see you around uncle Robert." As Elliot said that he goes back into his room after saying his goodbye.

Back in his room, Elliot seems to be relieved that he could stop talking with uncle Robert. He doesn't know why every time he tries to talk with uncle Robert it becomes awkward talking with him. Maybe it's because of what happened 2 years ago.

When Elliot tries to work out outside and a new resident comes to next door, While some people curious about this new resident, some can already guess what kind of people comes here. And Elliot is one of the curious ones because the new resident will be his neighbor.

Elliot still can remember clearly when the first time he sees uncle Robert, he comes after some people finish arranging his stuff in his room. He comes with a missing leg and a crippled arm. At first, other residents felt pity about his conditions and they try to help him to his room.

When those residents try to help him, he starts shouting telling those people to f*ckoff and leaves him alone, that they should just mind their own business. After a few days later, there is some talk that spread he is a team leader of a small team of adventurers.
