Rewards, Athan's intention or...longing?

Athan ate one Steel vine fruit as it started its work of strengthening his body.

The process went on for two full hours but what surprised Athan was that the strength was perfectly adjusted such that he didn't need to consolidate his body.

' Maybe that's the primary specialty of this fruit? The consolidation time increases by days each time I strengthen my body. ' Thought Athan before he ate the second steel vine fruit.

This one also worked inside his body for two hours, and after that, he ate the third fruit.

But after an hour, Athan frowned because he felt that he hit an invisible ceiling in his body strength.

The fruit's remaining power just dispersed outside from the pores of his body.

" Don't tell me? " Athan muttered as he took out the silver plate and punched in it.

A purple flower bloomed with a single petal which means that he had reached the Purple realm 1st-step.
