Chapter 11 - Master level rewards

Seth has had much better ways to wake up, but he was not complaining as he felt... refreshed?! Full of energy?! That made no sense since he should be borderline dying, or at least needing a hostpital to look at his ribs!

He sat up with no pain and looked at his body, besides being way more along the lines of a dedicated 3 days a week gym user for at least 5 months of training, he was fine. He was much more muscled now, and had lost the last of his chub that kept him from feeling truly healthy and was much more fit.

He rushed to the sink to splash water on his face and ensure this wasn't a dream. He glanced at his stats and saw a message inbox there. With 5 unread messages.

Opening it up he was wide eyed and in disbelief at what he saw, but was smiling like a lottery winner after reading through everything.

Seth was in disbelief at his growth, his stats, and his new skill! he was so excited that he let out a loud yell of joy!

He was ready to see how far he could grow from this now that he has broken through what he thought would be huge wall to take out. After all most humans he saw that were really fit seemed to top out between 5-8 in stats. But now he knew he could go beyond that limit thanks to the level his stamina was at!

He could become super human! Heck he was already approaching the limits of human strength and speed thanks to his current stats! He was almost a super human! But he had to keep growing! The fights would get harder, but the rewards would get better! Like last night.

That was a good haul of loot.

Maybe this would allow him to earn a wife as well?

Eh maybe, but he would cross that bridge if the system awards him that option. For now... Stat grinding!

He began his workout with the heaviest weights he owned. A pair of 30 pound weights he was never using before. But now were perfect for his compound exercises he needed to perform to challenge his new stats and physique.

On their own, they felt like 5 pound warm up weights to him now. But putting them to work with burpees, side lunge curl ups, and all manner of horse stance and half squat regimes he knew... they gave him a better workout than his body weights on their own. he needed to keep growing! He must!

And with how his regeneration and his abilities worked, he was barely sweating by the end, at least his stats still went up after two hours of nonstop HIIT program workouts... but still! He would need 100 pound weights soon if this kept up!

He went off to the fields after a shower and breakfast, forgetting his strategy from the previous day of hiding his growing physique as he went out in a t shirt and some worker pants and boots. His new much firmer and slightly larger biceps on display under the sleeves. Oh yeah, he shirts were feeling tighter with his new growth helping him.

Shopping will be needed come this weekend. And that was in two days.

But for now, he prepped himself for the debris clearing job. The foreman for the squads announced that bonuses would be given to those who helped the trapped folks from yesterdays debacle and everyone cheered. And they would get another bonus once they finished clearing an entire acre. Everyone cheered as they broke up into their squads.

Mr. Ryu clapped Seth on the shoulder and went, "Let's see if we can't get that bonus Seth! My son needs it since he and the other two men trapped with him are recovering from their injuries from the tree incident! He could use the extra money for the medical bills!"

Seth grins and goes, "Oh don't you worry Mr. Ryu! I plan to make sure we all get that bonus!"

Ryu looked around, then leaned in to whisper his question, "Really? How?"

Seth grins and just cryptically says, "Oh... I have my methods now."

And his methods showed. The men were slack jawed as Seth was hoisting large 150 pound boulders to the cart himself, instead of rolling them like yesterday into the loading ramp. Every time the cart was full of nearly half a ton of rock and trees he ran it back to the dump truck and came back within 10 minutes. Which was impressive as for anyone else it was a 20 minute jog, and that was without the cart!

The men rallied themselves to help Seth load the cart again and again to keep the debris on a constant flow to the truck to finish clearing the area up. Seth was continuing even when the rest of the men took breaks to re-hydrate and recover from their new expedited pace. He only took a break after 3 hours of nonstop work thanks to his new and improved recovery time as whenever he stopped for a quick 1 minute water break he was technically resting 6 minutes. Or at least that was how his body took it. And kept chugging along whenever his muscles were hurting too much using a burst of mana to activate his regeneration.

He was feeling the build up of muscles as his body was in constant work mode. Transferring his mental fortitude from the black company 16 hour work days. To this 8 hour manual labor work day. They only finally stopped when they heard lunch being called for.

All the men came to the ladies serving lunch and were all huffing and puffing from the hot late summer day. Their lunch was only 30 minutes, but they would milk that for all it was worth.

However one 20 something farm girl helping with the handing out of lunches was beet red when Seth came up to her for his bento lunch. The reason?

His body was fine, but he still sweat a good amount under the sun, so as a result he was currently in a soaked through shirt that was hugging his firmer, more lean body, as it showed his budding six pack was now a medium sized abs display, with his arm muscles well defined from the hard work causing them to flex constantly from use. His legs were showing even through his work pants despite them being baggier than his normal jeans. he had to snap his fingers a bit to get the girl to refocus and give him his lunch as he chuckled at her awe struck look as her eyes kept going up an down his frame.

He was flattered but was also only willing to develop a relationship with the girl if she was so inclined. She was a beauty, her name was blossom, she had a nice muscle build to her too from working in the field most of her life with her father, and being a carpenter with her mother had her constant working with and carrying heavy wooden loads. Everything about her screamed good honest hard worker. Seth could appreciate that in a woman. And she was cute, she had a darker skin tone from her fathers side as he was African. While her mother was Japanese. She in turn was a nice mix of both, being a more milk chocolate color than her father darker tone.

He winked at her and said, "Thanks beauty... I appreciate your hard work in making this!" As he went to sit down next to Ryu and left a red faced, and rather over heated Blossom with her now squealing friends who were now asking her if she would ask Seth out.

Seth sat next to the chuckling men who all laughed and teased him about how he found a possible young wife for himself. Seth looks back at her as she sheepishly waves at him but with a bright smile, he waves back with a wink and looks to his male friends, "You know? I just might have. But we shall see where it goes!"

They all cheer for him and enjoy their lunches. All the men fully enjoy their half hour break, but for Seth his body had recovered well as if he took a 3 hour nap.

Blossom even came by to ask if he was going to be alright out in the heat again as he stretched his body out. Seth held back the urge to chuckle as she eyed his still clinging shirt as he flexed and loosened his muscles up before getting back to the fields, "Yep I should be fine, thanks for asking though Blossom! I appreciate it."

She blushed before taking her straw hat and putting it on Seths head, Seth blinks before realizing he forgot his own straw hat and as such needed something to protect from the sun. She steps back while gazing up at his eyes for a reaction. Seth smiles gently at her and takes her slightly rougher hands in his own calloused ones and kisses the back of her knuckles. Blossom blushes hard, while her friends by the van they came in squealed in joy at her progress with her crush. Seth looks up to her and taps the hat going, "Thanks Blossom! I owe you a favor now!"

Blossom blushes and goes, "Well... I wouldn't mind the chance to hang out with you in your garden this weekend? I could give you tips on how to care for it better or help you expand it for more food to eat during fall and winter."

Seth thinks it through and grins knowing she was basically asking him on a farming date. In a way that made her comfortable. He then picked up her hand again. And kissed the back of it and said, "I shall be looking forward to Saturday morning then! I'll make sure I cook something good for us both! And we can enjoy a show or movie of your choice madam!"

She blushes as she looks to the side sheepishly and goes, "You might not like my choices. I'm a bit of an anime nerd."

Seth laughs, she pouts a bit thinking he was laughing at her before he pulled his phone case out to show a dragonball z case going, "Not to worry! You have an ally here!"

She smiled widely, hugged him tight and ran off to join her now, honking the vans horn, friends. She joined them and waved goodbye to Seth from the window. Seth waved back and blew her a kiss for an extra tease. Making her blush and her friends all squeal again and begin to grill her for info on what she and Seth talked about.

Seth chuckled, got his hat on securely and headed to the fields to finish clearing the debris from it. And grinning as he felt stronger already from the heavy work load.

And at the end of the work day when they gathered back at the community center for the dinner. He saw his growth was doing well. With a fist pump he went to join the others at the food stations as he saw his stats results growing very well from the help he gained from the support abilities.
