Training.

Jake was desperate to survive . He looked through the item box and found something interesting.

Health potion ( low quality ) : Stops bloodloss and restores 25 HP.

Jake summoned it and it immediately appeared in his hands. He grabbed the katana that he was stabbed with and with all his strength he removed .

[ Warning , host is bleeding out ! ]

He took the potion and gulped it at a go. The blood stopped and the wounds closing up however there was a still small hole.

Jake stood up and dragged himself back home , since it was at night . He arrived at his small house and jumped to bed .

Jake woke up early in the morning and looked at his wounds which were now fully healed but left a nasty scar where he was stabbed.

" So it was really real huh " He thought as rubbed his eyebrow and got out of bed . He went to his small kitchen and scurried to find some food. He found some bread and eggs. He cooked the eggs and ate peacefully. As he was about to lie in bed he had a notification.

[ Mission complete : Reward 500 points , Random Box ]

[ Do you wish to open box ? Y/ N ]

' So it wasn't a figment of my imagination ? Well guess am mad or there's something else at work ' At the end Jake chose to play along.

' Yes '

[ Ding ! Random Box opened ]

[ You have received Meridian release ]

' Info '

[ Meridian realease Is a tool used in restarting all Meridians , warning , if used the Meridians are destroyed and new ones are formed . Extremely painful and all Mana is lost. ]

Jake smiled . Finally a solution to his problem will be solved

He thought about it and a set of tools appeared.

He opened them to see small needles with a crystal at the top . The needles started floating and stabbed him at where his meridians are located. He groaned pain. The crystal started glowing and the pain intensified.

[ 1 Hour left ]

Jake groaned .

' System , how do I increase my stats ?' He suddenly asked.

[ Defense is increased by sit ups and being hit by blunt force ]

[ Stamina is increased by exhausting himself ]

[ Mana is increased by cultivating Mana ]

[ Health regen is increased the more power you build ]

[ Life expectancy is increased the more Mana you absorb .

Jake nodded in understanding.

He was sick and tired of being weak.

He walked out of his small house , stretched himself and began doing push-ups.

After 25 push-ups , he's strength increased .

55 push-ups , strength increased.

90 push-ups , strength increased .

He stopped at a hundred as he collapsed. He waited for a while before waking up and started running.

His yard was small so he used his secret place to get out and started running round the nearby forest. The road was deserted but it was still great for running.

After two hours of running non stop , his Agility increased by 4 his stamina by 2 and perception by 1 .

He did his hundred sit ups and defense increased by 3.

He went back home completely exhausted and made himself bath water . He dipped himself and enjoyed the warmth of the water. He wiped himself and proceeded to his bedroom. It was still afternoon but he wanted the rest of the day to increase his Mana.

He sat cross legged and sensed the Mana around him and imagined it slowly getting absorbed by him.
