He woke up early, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. The system's interface flickered to life on his bedside table, displaying his schedule for the day.
"Good morning, Player," the system said. "Today's training consists of a 5km run, followed by strength exercises: push-ups, squats, and planks. Please begin with the run."
He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and got dressed in his tracksuit. The system provided a recommended route, which he followed through the quiet morning streets. The run was grueling, but he pushed through, determined to complete the task.
After returning home, he moved on to the strength exercises. The system demonstrated proper form and technique, and he followed along, doing:
- 5 sets of 10 push-ups, resting for 30 seconds between sets
- 5 sets of 10 squats, focusing on proper knee alignment and depth
- 2 sets of 30-second planks, engaging his core and maintaining a straight line from head to heels
Throughout the exercises, the system provided real-time feedback on his form and technique, helping him adjust and improve.
As he finished the last plank, the system congratulated him on completing his first day of training. "Well done, Player. You have completed the dialy mission and have received 20 GP(growth points) which can be used to improve and obtain new skills, Rest and recover accordingly."
He collapsed onto the couch, exhausted but satisfied with his effort. The system's interface flickered off, leaving him to wonder what the next day would bring.
Just as he was catching his breath, the doorbell rang. He got up to answer it, expecting a delivery or a neighbor. But to his surprise, it was his friends, Jake and Timothy, both teammates from his soccer club.
"What's up, man?" Jake asked, eyeing his sweaty clothes. "We heard you've been training hard. We had to come check it out."
Timothy nodded in agreement. "Yeah, we've been meaning to come over ever since our loss at the finals.
He laughed, feeling a bit self-conscious about his current state. "Hey, I've been working hard to get back in shape."
Jake and Timothy exchanged a knowing glance. "We know, man," Jake said. "We've seen the videos. You're pushing yourself hard."
"Wow I didn't know I was that popular "
Timothy added, "And we're here to tell you it's paying off. You're gonna come back stronger than ever."
The three friends sat down in the living room, swapping stories and jokes. Jake and Timothy shared their own training struggles, and he felt a sense of camaraderie wash over him.
As they chatted, Jake glanced at his watch. "Speaking of training, we've got a club session in an hour. Coach wants to see you there."
Timothy nodded. "Yeah, we're gonna get you back on the pitch in no time."
He felt a surge of excitement mixed with nerves. He hadn't expected to return to the club so soon.
"Let's do it," he said, standing up.
Jake and Timothy smiled, and together they headed out the door, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
As they walked to the club, Jake turned to him and said, "You know, we believe in you. You're gonna crush it this season."
Timothy added, "And we'll be right there with you, every step of the way."
He smiled, feeling a sense of gratitude and determination. With his friends by his side, he knew he could overcome anything.
