An Unexpected Gain! (3)
…
After looking at my body for a few more seconds, I turn my attention to the tree in front of me.
I quickly raise my right arm and step forward.
After taking this step, I use my arm to hit the ground, using as much force as I can, as if I'm using my arm to cut the air.
My arm hits the ground, with this a strong impact noise and a large amount of dust rises in the air
BOOM!
After the dust settles, I realize that I am in a small crater.
The origin of the crater is exactly the point where my arm hit the ground.
I look at it in surprise for a few seconds.
After that, I try to get up and get out of the crater.
However, at the moment, when I do this, I fall on my knees on the floor, while breathing hard
"Damn it! It seems that just like
After about a minute, I finally feel like I can move my body
So I decide to lie on the floor, while I try to catch my breath, while I wait for my body to stop hurting
"Tsk! In the end, things didn't go as I expected! Well, the technique worked, but I couldn't move my body as I wanted!
I intended to cut the tree… However, in the middle of the way I found myself forced attacking the ground. Because I felt that if I don't do that, my body would explode!
Sigh! Although it didn't work as I expected. There is still good news! After all, now that I know how it feels when I activate the technique. I'm pretty sure that next time it will probably be faster to activate it"
At this moment, my body stops hurting and simultaneously I hear a beep in my head
"Huh? What's going on?"
After hearing this beep, I quickly get up and look at my body
When I do that, I realize that even though it's still stained with blood, all the cracks are gone
"Oh, so my wounds are already healed! Huehue! I'm really loving this Skill that Sakdal gave me as a gift! Anyway! Let's see what that beep was...
In doing so, I freeze without knowing how to react to this new information
However, I quickly recover and then, while smiling widely, I say
"Huuh? I didn't expect this!"

"My Health increased from 12.788 to 13.064 and my Stamina increased from 3.892 to 3.976! Why did this happen?"
After facing my status for a few seconds, I finally realize the reason for this change
"Oh, I understood! It happened because my Vitality increased! Before it was 93 and now it is 95
Did this happen because I activated this technique and pushed my body to the limit?
If so, is this something that happens only once?
Or something that can happen occasionally?
Man, if I knew this would happen, I would have tried to master this technique before!"
I get lost momentarily thinking about it
However, I quickly recover and while I leave this matter aside I decide to focus on my attributes
"Anyway! Another thing that I realized just now is that I haven't yet distributed the Attribute Points that I earned when I up to Level 4! I was so tired after killing Red that I ended up sleeping. Besides that, when I woke up I was so excited about my night vision that I completely forgot to do that! Okay, I think I'll do that now, then!"
I quickly use my mind and click on the Attribute Points
As soon as I do that, just like the first time, a small list with six different attributes appears
"Okay, my original idea was to put all the points in Strength. However, now that I look carefully, my Vitality is so close to 100. I really like this number! Therefore, I think I will distribute the points as follows. Two points in Strength and three points on Vitality! That way, besides to bringing my Vitality closer to 100, I also match my Strength and Dexterity! Yes, that looks good, let's do it!"
With that in mind, I quickly distribute the points according to plan
STR: 28 -> 30
VIT: 95 -> 98
After distributing all the points, I click to save the changes
At that moment, a beep rings in my head, followed by some messages from Elizabeth
[This will be your new Status…]

[Would you like to update your current status to the one above?]
[Yes/ No]
Seeing this message, I don't think twice and answer yes
The moment I do that, my body starts to tingle
It feels strange and very uncomfortable, feeling this I quickly sit on the floor, cross my legs
Then, I close my eyes, and while I wait for that feeling to pass, I start to complain internally
'Tsk! It really seems that everything in this world has to be annoying! Sigh! At least this time I didn't pass out! This is good, because for some strange reason, since I arrived in this world. I pass out several times and this is starting to hurt my pride! After all, just before escaping Hell, I could already endure the tortures of Henchman Number 6 without passing out! Huehue... it was fun to see the tantrums he gave when he realized that his tortures didn't bother me anymore!'
The tingling sensation continues, for almost five minutes
Suddenly she stops, and I feel like my body has become lighter, tougher and stronger
Feeling this, I open my eyes, slowly get up, and then start to stretch my body
After doing some stretches, I get into the combat position and close my eyes
Still with my eyes closed, I start to punch and kick the air in front of me, as if facing someone
After spending ten minutes fighting an imaginary being, I stop and open my eyes
So as I wipe the sweat off my forehead and say it with a satisfied smile
"I didn't realize it before, but my reaction speed and flexibility increased a lot! Unfortunately, I still can't defeat that T-rex! Huehuehue! The most ironic thing about it is that the person who is becoming I'm just a monster! It just shows how independent of everything Danka is the real monster! Anyway! This feeling of satisfaction that I feel now is the same that I feel when I finish a training session with Danka! I think I will continue training for a little while longer!"
With that in mind, I quickly close my eyes and imagine that I am facing my younger sister again.
About thirty minutes later, I stop fighting, open my eyes and start to stretch my body as I think
'I didn't expect that I would really only be interested in fighting! Perhaps, this is one of the side effects of having absorbed Monnct! Well, this is even better than being controlled by him! After all, even though I now have a certain desire for fighting, I still enjoy the same things I did before! For example, I still love money! Although, I'm sure I would continue to love money even if that guy controls me!'
After finishing my stretches, I shift my attention to the landscape around me
When I do that, I finally realize how big the crater is, created by my punch
"Wow, I made a beautiful crater! However, even then the tree is still standing! Tsk! Lucky guy! Huehuehue! Fortunately, that luck won't last long! After all, now that I know the benefits... I'm even more excited about the idea of mastering this technique! Okay, let's try it again! "
I quickly close my eyes and start to empty my mind, while trying to feel, the same feeling as before
Less than two minutes later, I realize that my body temperature is starting to rise
When I feel this, I immediately open my eyes
The moment I do that, I notice that some cracks are starting to appear on the surface of my skin
Besides that, I notice that my muscles are starting to swell up just as they did before.
This process is very painful, but after only a few seconds, my muscles seem to reach the limit and then the pain stops
Realizing that the activation process is over, I quickly try to get closer to the tree
Unlike the other time, I can easily take a few steps towards the tree
However, just when I'm about to catch Chunchunmaru
I feel like I've reached my limit, and again I feel compelled to release the strength contained in my body
I don't think twice and just like the other time, I quickly punch the ground, thus creating a second crater
BOOM!
After punching the floor, I lie on the floor while I wait for my muscles to regenerate
"Phew! This attempt was much better than the previous one! I managed to activate the technique faster! Besides that, this time it lasted a few seconds longer than the first time! Is it because I increased my Vitality and my Strength? It makes sense, but I think I'll have to test it a few more times to be sure! By the way this time I didn't hear Elizabeth's beep!"
I quickly open my status, and in doing so I realize that my Vitality has not increased
"Oh, so it doesn't increase every time I use the technique? Tsk! I'm a little disappointed in that! Sigh! Anyway! For some reason I'm feeling that I'm not using this technique in the right way! It's weird! Oh, already I'm going to try to activate it one more time. However, this time, as soon as I feel my body temperature is rising I'll activate
As soon as I feel my body has recovered, I quickly get up
After doing this, I repeat the process of closing my eyes and concentrating
About a minute later, I feel like my body is heating up
When I feel this, I don't think twice and activate my Skill
'
The moment I do that, I feel my rationing speed up and focus on the changes that occur in my body
In this state, I realize that an energy type is circulating my muscles
This strange energy, comes from my brain and is concentrating on the muscles of my arms and legs
'It seems, quite the intense! However, why is it focusing only on the muscles of these members? Wouldn't it be easier to spread it over the muscles of all my body?'
Curious about this, I focus my mind on that energy
When I do that, I realize that surprisingly I can control it
'Wow, I didn't expect that I could control this! Okay, what will happen if I do this...?'
Using my mind, I try to spread the energy all over my body
After a few seconds, the energy starts to move exactly as I want
However, only a small part of the energy moves, while the rest continues to go only to the muscles in my arms and legs.
Feeling this, I am not disappointed, exactly the opposite, I get extremely excited
'Sick! It really worked!'
I quickly, focus all my attention on trying to spread the energy all over my body
In doing so, I realize that the flow of energy is slowly changing and instead of focusing only on the muscles of my limbs
The energy is slowly spreading throughout my body
After an unknown time, I finally manage to stabilize the flow of energy
Seeing this, I internally nod in satisfaction and then disable
As soon as I do that, my reasoning returns to normal speed
Feeling this, I don't think twice and open my eyes
The moment I do this, I hear a beep, followed by the notification
[New skill acquired successfully!]
[Boost!]
"Huehuehue! Elizabeth, I love you!"
