it has been a few weeks since i started training my body, i would do 10 laps around the house, 10 squats, 10 push ups, 10 pull ups and other exercises that were popular in my previous life to build a balanced body,
i was afraid at first to injure my self as i was too young to do any hard training, but my dad allowed me to do so, so i think that it is normal and not too hard for the children of this world to do this kind of exercises, and after that i would start sword training
my father made me a wooden sword and started teaching me the basic sword movements of slash, stab, parry, counter and asked me to do it 100 times for each
i was told to repeat these exercises everyday and when i am old enough, i will have to add more reps in these exercises and keep increasing the load as i grew stronger till i reach the peak mortal realm and then my journey would really start
so i started by running 10 laps around the house and by the end of it i was breathless, i fell to the ground to catch my breath and relieve my tired body and after 10 minutes of rest i started to do 10 reps of each strength building exercise and by the time i was done i felt my body turn into jelly i couldn't stop gasping for breath i couldn't even stand back up
i needed 30 minutes to regain some strength, and at the end of an hour i felt that i could move freely again albeit i still felt pain all over my body, this feeling wasn't a stranger to me, i felt it a lot in my previous life
the person i was before all this reincarnation stuff although strong was out of shape till i started training at 20 and to get in shape i suffered through a lot of pain so you could say that i am used to it
afterwards, i picked the wooden sword and started practicing my basic stances 100 each and as you could guess at the end of this training session i was exhausted, and even after an hour of rest, i still haven't recovered an ounce of strength, mom and big sis were forced to carry me back home as it was time for lunch, once home mom gave me a bath, which definitely didn't feel awkward at all (i felt extremely embarrassing to be bathed by mom)
after the nice(not that nice) bath, my muscles were relaxed and i could move my limbs once more, so i had lunch and then went out to a nearby field to relax and think a little bit
i made it there in twice the amount of time i usually need and threw my self on the soft grass, this field was planted with grass for the cattle to graze, and it was very abundant probably due to the EE in this world, i don't really want to think deeply about this now
as i laid on the soft grass amidst some cows and sheep i fell into the sweet embrace of sleep mostly due to the exhaustion i accumulated during the day
***in the dream(mind) of our MC***
i was in a foggy place
i can't see anything, i can't even see my hand when i stretch it in front of me
i feel as if i am drunk, i can't completely focus, my perception sometimes hazy sometimes clear
nothing changed as i stood there so i decided to start moving
i walked and walked and walked some more and the only thing that surrounded me was fog
after a long time of mindless walking i heard a sound so i started walking towered it in my hazy state, the sound was not clear
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
as i moved closer the sound got clearer it seemed to be a heart beat, a steady and strong heartbeat full of vitality
i continued walking and finally i saw it, it was a big egg full of inscriptions, the heart beat sound came from the egg, and it gave out visible waves of light at a time icy blue like a frozen planet and another warm reddish gold like a bright sun in synchronization with the heart beat
i moved closer and a sudden violent force came forth from the egg that sent me flying through the fog far away from it till i could neither see the egg or hear the heartbeat
once again i was stranded in the fog with no end of it in sight
so i resumed my walking in search of that egg again
i walked for what felt like years and finally could see some faint light in the distance
i was thrilled to see some change once more in this god forsaken place so i headed their and as i grew closer the light became brighter and brighter
the light this time was an electric blue mixed with a metallic grey, from time to time it would discharge electricity , and as i was near it i could see in the center of the light a lot of complicated symbols and circuits intertwined with each other in a strange and complimentary way
i was curious and mindlessly tried to touch it but then
"*bzzt**bzzt*sti..*bzzt*..still...*bzzt*..not..*bzzt*..time*bzzt*"
then a burst of light and electricity burst out of the core and i was blasted awake
***out of the dream(mind) world(scape)***
i suddenly woke up with a startle sweating bullets,
'what weird dream what was that ? the more i try to remember the more hazy the dream is, i can only remember the fog, fog and more fog' i thought
"that was one weird fucking dream, i can't really remember shit beside fog now, so just fuck it, who cares" i said to my self before noticing that it was already close to sun set, it seems that i was very tired on my first day of training and jumped to my feet only to notice that my fatigue reduced by half, and was good to go so i started jogging home while thinking
'this world sure is great the people have such a strong stamina, it should be the effects of EE on the inhabitants of this world' i thought to myself, not aware that even though people have a much better physic and genetics than earthlings of my previous life, it is note to the point of reducing the fatigue by half after a nap, that i was one of the exceptions but that is another topic for another time
when i reached home the sun began to set, so i escaped a scolding or so i thought, i made it home in time but i was dirty
as soon as my mom saw my state she immediately scolded me saying with a death glare
"young man, you better go wash yourself before i get angry,otherwise you would sleep with an empty stomach"
so i followed my superior officers orders before i was sanctioned by martial law
'god that woman could get really scary sometimes*sigh*'i thought to my self
after cleaning myself i quickly got back had dinner and stayed with the family doing what we always did, everyone told us how passed his day, and father told us some stories of his youth when he was part of the army till we got to bed
