Chapter 12: The Iron Body
Ed has eighteen crystals, and only used one, so if Ed uses all of them, the changes will definitely be noticeable.
"But I can't use this continuously, at least I need time before I can absorb the Crystal Stone again, Hem... This Crystal Stone is only white? What about other colors? Is there a difference? Well, I can wait to find out later."
Ed then lay down for a few moments. After almost thirty minutes of lying down, Ed tried to absorb the Crystal Stone again.
This time it wasn't as painful as before, even the process was much faster, Ed then immediately opened the screen.

"As I suspected, hahaha! Let's do this!"
...
Time passed quickly, and that day, instead of wandering and hunting Zombies, Ed chose to absorb all the White Crystal Stones he had.
It took more time than Ed expected.
Also, after reaching 100%, the surprising thing happened again, a more painful pain than the first time was felt, it almost drove Ed crazy, but in the end, Ed managed to get through it.
And something new was added, which surprised Ed enough because of the changes that occurred.

[Physical Strength: 21]
[Abilities: Iron Body: 0%]
"What is this? Iron Body?"
[Iron Body: 0%]
[A body as strong as Iron, the more it is tempered like Iron, the stronger the Ability will be]
"... Damn, is this world really turning into a game?" Ed muttered with an annoyed face.
Ed tried to absorb the Crystal Stone again after recovering, but a surprising thing happened.
[Name: Ed Evans]
[Level: 1] (5%)
[Health: 20/20]
[Physical Strength: 21.5]
[Abilities: Iron Body: 0%]
"This... is becoming half? So, like in a game, the higher the level, the more experience is needed... Haaah..." Ed sighed heavily, staring at the screen.
"So, instead of needing ten Crystal Stones to level up, now I need twenty?" Ed didn't expect it to be harder to become stronger.
Ed continued to absorb Crystal Stones until there were none left.

[Abilities: Iron Body: 0%]
"Hem... Something is really different..." Ed looked at his palm, before trying to find something, where Ed found his punching bag, took a deep breath, Ed then punched the punching bag.
"Baam!"
The surprising thing happened, the punching bag tore, and sand flowed out of the torn punching bag.
"This? Hahaha! Interesting!" Ed smiled broadly and opened the screen again.
[Name: Ed Evans]
[Level: 1] (40%)
[Health: 20/20]
[Physical Strength: 25]
[Abilities: Iron Body: 1%]
"Eh? Iron Body changed? The percentage increased to one? Is it because I punched the punching bag? Then... Could this be some kind of passive Ability? I don't even really understand how to use it..." Ed thought while staring at the screen.
But in the end, Ed became less concerned, and looked at the sky outside.
It was still daytime, only 11 in the morning, Ed then decided to go out, and after making some preparations, Ed left the house.
Seeing a Zombie, Ed smiled and calmly ran towards the Zombie, before finally killing the Zombie.
"It's getting easier, my strength has increased, and my speed, and stamina have also increased. Hem... Let's finish off every Zombie I encounter!"
Ed then continued his action by hunting Zombies.
...
On the other side, some people who were paying attention suddenly were surprised by the arrival of someone, Yup, that person was Ed who was currently hunting various Zombies he found, it seemed that Ed could easily kill the various Zombies he encountered.
