A Run.

A boy could be seen sleeping in the middle of his room, before his breathing started to roughen up, he slowly opened his eyes and was met with the ever so unfamiliar ceiling.

"Sigh still cant get used to this place, wonder how long until im not conscious of this anymore." He started scratching his head and yawned a little bit, he got up and stretched a bit, and starts thinking how he got to sleep on the magnificent back breaking floor until his eyes caught sight of the book.

"Ohhhh shit, so thats what happened, maybe, the book and the author arent as simple as i thought." He couldnt help but admire the power behind the book and the writer.

He grabbed the books from the ground and neatly arranged them into an empty and clean bookshelf.

He looked at his room and nodded, satisfied with his shitty cleaning skills, even though he spent some time to clean up.

He was thinking of an ideal space to train because training in his room felt kind of, inappropriate, he didnt really know the mansion well so he might as well explore and find someplace to train at the same time.

"But before that." He looked at the drawer and then at his uncomfortable and clearly noble clothes.

Opening the drawer he saw even more of these clothes but something quickly caught his eyes.

"Ohh my, now i feel like a badass, but before ruining this sweet piece lets find some less cool looking clothes to train with." Quickly putting the piece of costume back, he looked a bit more and after opening the last drawer he saw it, a few sets of simple clothing, all grey and worn, seemingly used to train with.

He put on both the Short and T shirt, the texture of the cloth felt a bit on the rough side but he just shrugged it off as the Christmas Grandma Clothing Resistance is at max, he then proceeded outside of his room, ready to explore this huge mansion.

after some hours of going from room to room and hallway to hallway, he managed to exit into a backyard garden, full of varied flowers, the scent was amazing to say the least, he couldnt help but be in awe at the scenery.

Looking around a little bit he found a very nice looking Tree on a small plain in the middle of the garden, he couldnt help but run towards it, reaching it he saw how big the tree actually was and how much shadow it was making.

"This is pretty neat, shade, nice scent, and the scenery is just splendid, i can start my traini- wait i think im forgetting something." He couldnt help but scratch his chin while thinking what he was missing.

"Young master, what are you doing in this corner of the mansion ?" He was quickly interrupted by Johan, who manages to sneak behind him and scare the living soul out of him.

"WHA !? Ohh, its only you, Johan, im thinking of training here, i like this place, it just feels like im missing something, hmm." He couldnt help but fall into another deep train of thought.

Johan awkwardly looked at Rodin and sighed, slowly he raised his hands and clapped taking the young master out of his reverie again.

"I think you're missing your usual equipment, should i bring them here for you ?" At this Rodin couldnt help but gasp, of course the most important thing was the training equipment.

"No, ill do it myself." He started running into the mansion.

"B-but Young Master, you dont know where the equipment are.... sigh kids nowadays have no patience." Johan just shook his head and slowly followed Rodin.

He couldnt help but be a little bit mischievous, he had to work the old man's bones at least a few times, and he also liked the feeling of freedom his running ability gave him, plus the Ability which basically doubled his running speed.

"Yiiiiikes !?" He had so much fun he almost forgot to look forward, quickly reacting by reflex he jumped over the small little maid and gave her a salute upside down while mid air.

*Thud* Landing a bit roughly he grinned and looked back for a second.

"Young Master this is no time to play games, we must find your equipment !" Johan Passed by the little maid giving her a nod and calmly walk run towards Rodin.

[Ding !]

[Congratulations you learned a new skill [Basic Jumping] has been acquired, you gained 1000 exp]

'Nice !!' He couldnt help but be joyful at the sudden new skill and exp he gained, but seeing the comical walk run of Johan, he had to step up his game.

Feeling every muscle in his leg tense, this time he let loose like a spring in action and quickly found himself at the end of the corridor, leaping 5 meters instantly.

Stupefied at his sudden display of Agility and Strength he was quickly taken out of it by another system notification.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations you learned a new skill [Basic Dashing] has been acquired, you gained 1000 exp]

[You Leveled Up !]

Having no time to check his stats he quickly started using all three of his skills to experiment while he could, trying to combine all three skills to create a new skill didnt seem to work, mostly it only helped him bump into the wall a fee times.

After a few more minutes he managed to find out that instead of combining three he could combine two skills and follow them up with other combined skills !

He managed to Dash mid Run which basically quadrupled his dash distanced, from 5 to 20 meters, but that also made measuring the distance harder and much harder to control where he will end up, since whenever he dashed everything would become a blur.

Seeing that Johan has almost caught up to him he decided to use his newfound Skill Combo and test it, unfortunately for him his mis measured the distance the end of the corridor and hit the wall, pretty hard at that.

*Woosh ~ Thud !*

'I will definitely increase my perception and dexterity after this.' He swore after almost breaking his nose in an half assed attempt of dashing, but this also gave him another notification.

[Ding !]

[Congratulations you learned a new skill [Basic Physical Damage Reduction] has been acquired, you gained 1000 exp]

Overjoyed he quickly spun around and gave a devilish grin to the worried looking johan who almost instantly turned blank faced.

Another 10 or so minutes later and he found another great use of Dash with jump this time, dashing and jumping at the same time gave his jump an increase in height of approximately 10 meters, he was a bit reckless this time, he wont deny.

"Woah woah woah, this wasnt part of the plan !" Falling From such a height almost froze him, but remembering he had quite a bit of endurance and HP he felt comfortable and planned on rolling right after he hit the ground to minimize the damage of the landing.

*THUD, Roll* Managing to do the stunt at the price of rattled bones, he didnt mind it at all thanks to getting another system notification.

[Ding !]

[Congratulations you learned a new skill [Basic Landing has been acquired, you gained 1000 exp]

After his last experiment and acquired skill he met the little maid again, which did kind of surprise him.

After counting the time it took to meet her again it seems that he needed around half an hour to do a lap of the mansion, without surprise the old man was still following with his iconic walk run.

Running by her again but this time full of sweat and a few bruise marks, he waved, the little maid could only look at him with a worried and then at Johan who nodded at her and gave her a reassuring look.

After a few minutes and no more, He felt every muscle shut down in his body and he fall face first onto the carpet near the end of the corridor.

"Told you that all this senseless running would tire you out, it wasnt more than a few days since you got better, you should rest, i will go and find the training equipment for you and get them ready for use under the garden Tree." Johan popped a green looking vial from underneath his clothes and gave a small sip to Rodin, who instantly felt a lot better.

"Woah, that was insane, is that a Stamina Potion !?" He asked giddy and full of vigor again, to which Johan only nodded.

"Now go, ill get your equipment, i want you to rest up for today and dont do anything reckless again, also i will call a maid to prepare a bath for you, you can imagine why." He warned him with a firm tone and blank gaze to which Rodin only nodded quickly and dashed towards his room.

"Phew, that was quite the workout, at least i gained a few skills, i should probably write down the results of mt experimentation, gotta go and find a notebook first ehh." after seeing no trace of the old bone he relaxed and looked at his stats while walking towards his room.
