"I don't remember seeing you this muscular"
The teacher said as pointing the pen he was writing with towards jong-ji.
"Must be my imagination."
Jong-ji was slightly more muscular than before but not to the point to realize that there is change.
They were returned to school
The teacher said
"We have already notified your parents that you may arrive late" it was still noon when they arrive at school.
"Dismissed"
The students went back to their own houses.
Jong-ji and Eun-Kyung walked back together since their houses were near. On the way back, Eun-Kyung wanted to hold jong-ji hand, she took out her hand slightly but when she hesitated and was about to take it back, jong-ji held her hand
"I will always protect you"he said.
He dropped her off at her house and he went into his house. He chatted with her on his phone before she went to sleep.
Their country was modernized even with the other races. Other races wanted to know what this thing called "Game" was. When his parents were asleep, jong-ji wanted to grow stronger. So, he went out to the mountains where he would always paly with his grandpa. His grandpa had already died when he was 6. He then looked at his hand and thought about the ring which his grandpa gave him. He didn't have it. Then the ring appeared.
"What, I didn't even know in my past life that the ring could do this"
He used his inspect skill on it.
"Inspect skill used
Name:??? Ring
rank:???
effects:???
A ring given to player jong-ji by ???"
He thought about what it was and didn't find a clue.
"I will not think about it for now"
He was in a flat area on the mountain where he would play with his grandpa.
"Now that I think about it, doesn't this look like a training area"
There were wooden logs where he could punch or do sword training, a flat area for exercises and it was quiet and peaceful.
"First I need to develop my physical abilities then my sword abilities"
He run around the mountain. He had sweat dripping off him. Then the system appeared.
"You have increased your agility by 1"
"What, I can increase my stats like this"
He punched the wooden logs. He also used them to weight lift. After a while, the system appeared again
"Your strength has increased by 1"
"It seems like it "jong-ji said
He went back to his house secretly when the sun rise up hoping his parents won't wake up.
