After working out with the pouches of the Heavenly Weight Sand, Gray’s face and entire body was covered in sweat as his muscles trembled endlessly.

He hadn’t been able to do much due to his current weakness of his body, but he could still do easier variations of workouts and push his body beyond its limit.

During his workout, he had almost torn his muscles several times, but in the end he only needed to take a short break and his body would heal enough that he could continue.

For this reason, he was not only physically exhausted, but mentally exhausted as well.

He had gained almost no muscle during this workout, but that wasn’t how it worked anyways, so he was quite content with the results.

In fact, with his ability to rapidly heal, he could probably gain muscle at least a hundred times faster than someone else. Or in other words, one day of work for him was about three months of work for someone else.

In the end, he could feel a noticeable improvement in his strength, and he felt as if it had increased by more than 20%

While this may not seem like a lot, this was in only a single day of work.

After working out, he realized that he was absolutely starving at the moment, and he left his room after taking a bath and cleaning up, looking for some food. He had plenty of money, because it was one of the very few things that wasn’t taken from him when he was betrayed, so he could go all out.

In the end, he went to a nearby restaurant to eat. Seeing such a young boy walk in and sit down, the people there were a bit weirded out, and the waiter came over.

“Young Sir, is there anything I can get for you?” He was just as weirded out as the rest of them, but he couldn’t just kick Gray out of the restaurant.

“I’ll take three of everything you have.”

…

Silence.

The restaurant customers had never heard of somebody ordering three of everything in such a small restaurant like this. They were in a small town that was tens of miles from the nearest city, so it wasn’t often that people were able to order so much food so easily.

On top of that, it was such a small child too! How could he possibly eat all that food alone?

“R-right away, young sir. I’m afraid that you must pay upfront on such a large order, though…”

Gray didn’t even hesitate in waving his hand, letting a pile of money fall on the table. He didn’t even bother to count it and handed over what seemed like a good amount.

Taking the money, the waiter quickly scurried back into the kitchen, where Gray heard a little bit of a commotion take place before about half a minute later the waiter came back out, bringing a plate of food.

“The food should be done in about five minutes, young sir. In the meantime you can snack on this.”

It wasn’t much, just some chips and salsa, but it was enough to satiate Gray’s immediate hunger.

And five minutes later, the waiter came back with all manners of food; sandwiches, soups, noodles, and there were three of everything, as he had asked for.

He looked a little ridiculous, carrying so much food all at once in all kinds of different ways, mainly on large platters that he held. It actually took him a few trips to get everything.

“Enjoy the meal.” With this, the waiter scurried back to help the other customers, secretly glancing at Gray, who had already begun to gorge on the food.

In his excitement last night and this morning, he had totally forgotten to eat, and he hadn’t eaten in forty years, so he was extremely hungry to say the least.

On top of that, this body he was in was so malnourished that he was surprised he actually managed to survive this long, cultivate, and even work out.

Feeling the sensation of taste again after so long, he was completely sucked into the flavor of the food as he seemed to fall into his own little world, completely indulging himself and unable to stop eating until he actually ran out of food.

To everyone present, it seemed like he was a living black hole that could absorb an infinite amount of food, because even after eating the amount that would fill up someone his age, then double than, and then ten times that, he still continued with no signs of stopping.

At some point, they could actually see his stomach physically bulging out, and it made them wonder how he hadn’t popped yet.

Finally, all the food was gone from the table, and he fell out of his state of food bliss.

As if nothing even happened, he stood up and walked away, his stomach still awkwardly protruding.

In his wake was merely a table full of empty plates and a restaurant filled with shocked customers.

Meanwhile, Gray was regretting having eaten that much in the form of a horrible stomach ache.

But on the good side, his body now had some fuel to continue his routine, and he worked out for the rest of the day.

The next day, he had finally somehow fully digested all that food, and his body had grown a bit of fat, making him no longer look emaciated like he did before.

On top of that, he had a bit more muscle as well, and he was one step closer to having a normal build.

Each day, he would follow this routine, except he would eat three times a day instead of once, and he would eat less food each time. However, he would still eat enough that it shouldn’t have been possible for someone his size to eat so much.

And yet, every single day that passed, his muscles would grow more defined and more powerful, and his bones would grow denser as well.

And finally, after another week of this routine, his body finally got to what would be considered normal condition for his age and level.
