Chapter 22 - Training room

Seth stood there with a panel open to him. He was ready to see what this training dimension could do!

He stood on a small platform with an empty void around him. And he took a moment to look around to see if there were any details he was missing. But after a solid minute or two of looking and analyzing the space, it was indeed just an empty white void. He focused on the panel in front of him and began to see the options.

He saw three main tabs. When pressed, each tab showed a variety of other options under them from which to choose.

Training mode: Skills, Stats, Combat.

Combat mode: Monster mob, Human, Monster boss, Dungeon, Field.

Crafting mode: Monster materials, Leather work, forge, armory, jeweler.

He hums as he decides to check out the crafting mode first.

He sees a wide shop appear around him. Mostly like a blacksmith shop with crafting stations, tools, and forge. He also sees that as he presses through the options he gets different workshops depending on the type he chooses. All of them are specialized, except for the monster materials which seems to have tools from all the other crafting shops mixed together, but only enough to fill the working space without hindering the craftsman.

He would need to experiment with the system and see if he can get monster drops. It didn't seem likely since all he had gotten so far was skills, stats, and equipment upgrades so far from the system. And the bodies of monsters disappear after they are defeated.

But who knows, he may just end up with actual monster drops if he uses the training or combat modes to actually go through and fight off the monsters that can be summoned through them instead of the dream dimension.

But only time will tell.

Seth switches the mode from crafting mode to training mode and chooses stat sub-mode.

Soon he is in a state of the art advanced gym with all kinds of exercise machines, miniature training fields, and even free weights. He was over the moon to see he had found 250kg weights. Mostly because he actually had to push his muscles a bit to lift them. Giving him an actual challenge again.

After all one can only rely on 300 pound rocks for so long before your body gets used to it.

He tries every machine for at least 5 sets at different weights. The range was staggering. The lightest they could do is 5kg. The heaviest is a whooping 1,000 kg!

He got a huge kick out of straining himself to lift the 500kg barbell for a dead lift. It challenged him and made it so he could barely do 10 of those before he had to throw in the towel to a lighter weight.

But over all the gyms special conditions made it much more interesting than a normal gym. There were personal gravity bands one can equip onto themselves. Where your personal gravity increases based on the multiplier you set for yourself.

Seth tries it at times 5 for pushups and crunches. And boy he feels the difference! He feels like his entire being is being pressed down without having to have a weighted vest or having a person sit on him! He felt the challenge and knew this would help him out with growth through stat training.

He cycles through the other training modes.

Skills seems to be full of sparring bots, instructor bots, and even various shooting ranges of various difficulty. He was excited to use his skills, or even develop new ones in this place.

He switched it again to see an arena appears for combat training mode with various sub modes from there for difficulty, enemies from a specific universe, and so on.

He grinned hard. He would need to see if his predation skill would work on these foes he summoned, but only time would tell.

He switched to combat mode for the actual enemies he could summon. A whole bestiary of landscapes, enemies, dungeon types, all kinds of things he could choose from appeared before him. He had the power of a game master in dungeons and dragons right at his finger tips to push himself and others to their limits, or to make sure they think through various situations much better than before.

He turns off the training room and comes out to a shocking sight. The girls were still in the bath, and the clock says he barely spent more than 10 minutes in there. He was sure it was over an hour trying out all the functions!

He stepped back into the training room and looked at the settings.

There were time dilation settings he could mess with! It was currently set to 10 minutes in the room was only 1 minute in the real world. A 10:1 dilation effect.

He could set it to be over 50:1, but only once his stats had surpassed 100 in every category.

He had a goal, and a new urge to grow his mana pool larger than ever!

He could work on it later, for now he was ready to go meet the girls and hang out with them for their sudden sleep over they now had.

And he was ready to see where the night took them all.

He closed the door to the training room and saw it take on the form of a closet with a key hole. He hears it lock as he pumps some mana into it and a magic seal appears then fades into the wood. He tries to open it up but finds it locked. And Seth even gives it a solid blow that would normally break bricks, but instead, he finds the wood not even dented or showing signs of cracking. He grins as the door is fully secured against intruders or those who would misuse it.

With that in mind he heads off to his two budding lovers and plans to tell them about the room and get their input on who to summon next chance he gets from the reward system.

Needless to say, he was excited about discussing his power with them and in seeing who they would be interested in inviting. Especially since Hinata has gotten into other anime that remind her of her own world. But still different enough to enjoy it and see how the story unfolds.

For Blossom she has her tastes and knows a few others she would love to see in person.

Seth had his list in mind, and it was just up to the trio of friends to figure out who would be the next summon as his stats grow and their pool of potential summoning candidates grew.

Seth has a smile as he lays out some snacks with the futons as the girls finish their bath and he checks his stats to pass the time. With a grin he sees the early fruits of only an hour trying the stat training system in the room, and knows he would lock himself in their for the full 50 days dilation on a weekend if he could at the moment. But he would take a 6 day time jump tomorrow since it is Sunday.

Just from an hour he gained as much as a single mob enemy would give him. Those new weights, gravity bands, and his upgraded training boost skill all helped him gain more in an hour than half a day of working on the fields.

He would still use the field work, and the new construction project to help his training, but he knew he was going to abuse the hell out of that training room.

Seth smiled as he waited for the girls to enter so they could discuss the possible summons for future harem members.
