After I got released this morning, I moved back to my father. It was a small department in the middle of Seoul. I didn't need much space anyway, so I took the storage room. A simple mattress was all I wanted anyway.
First things first, I instantly got a new haircut. I could finally recognize myself in the mirror again. My skin was still as pale as a dead mans and my body looked easily breakable. But at least I got my damn hairstyle back. A small undercut with dark red to black hair reaching close under my eyebrows.
“ Tzz, the cut is still here. I thought it might have finally disappeared after these 5 years but it’s still a 1 centimeter wide scar reaching from my left eye to my ear. Whatever, it doesn’t look bad or anything. It just reminds me of something I don't want to be reminded about.”
Afterwards, my dad had to get back to work. Since my Sister was still in school, I decided to start working on my Level and Stats.
" Huh, not much 'Potential', he said. But he doesn't know of my Hidden Stat. So he could only see my basic ones. And he doesn't know of my Passive Skill, that helps me raise my Stats and Skills much faster through training. I think it was 500% faster? And by training, I might even be able to Level it up to a higher percentage. The first Levels and Stats should be much faster to gain, as it needs more XP each time. A different amount of XP for every hunter.“
,, Alright then. Let's focus on the Hidden Stat, Vitality and Strength for today. I feel so weak right now, I just can't stand it… "
" Uhh… But how can I train Regeneration? The Strength and Vitality Stat is easy enough, I just need to train with some weight until my fatigue is full. For my Strength right now, even a damn book is enough weight. But Regen? Maybe by hurting my skin? Let's try it out by cutting some little wounds on my upper arm and chest.
Ah fuck, that one cut too deep. Nooo, I'm bleeeeeding! Wait, how much HP did I lose by 3 light cuts? Waiiiit, half of my HP?! Jesus, I may have gone a little too far. Well… Now that I'm doing it already, might as well take ¾ of it. Ouuch! Fuck, that hurts!"
,, Alright, now it's 01:24 pm on 21.01.2024. I'll check it again in the evening. Let's get some Strength training done."
…
[ Your Fatigue has reached its limit ]
After training with Books as weight for 10 minutes, my fatigue was already full and I was sweating like I just ran a damn marathon.

,, I reaaally hope that's how I can raise my Vit Stat as well. By exhausting myself. And maybe even my Regeneration Stat by recovering not just my HP, but also my fatigue. Is the only way to Level up to kill Monsters or do I also gain XP by raising Stats or Skills? I thought I read something like that on the Hunt-… huh?
[ You have gained 1 Regeneration Stat]
,, Oh, niiice. That was fast. Was it because of my Passive Skill and the cutting or why? The first Stats sure are fast to ga-"
[ You have gained 1 Vitality Stat]
,, Alright? Maybe I'm just the biggest genius hehehe. Or maybe it's normal for the first Stats? Makes sense. So now I have 200 HP and 2 maximum fatigue Stats… Let's get some more cutting done. I really don't care as long as it makes me stronger. After that, I can train again since my fatigue not only got higher but more efficient too. "
[ You have gained 1 Strength Stat]
[ You have gained 1 Vitality Stat]
[ You have gained 1 …]
[You ha…]

,, Okay then. So the App says gaining the first Stats is supposed to be easier because of the low XP needed. Depending on the max, it's getting much harder in the 20-30 height. "
" There is a bodybuilder that trained his Strength Stat for 1 week straight, 10 hours a day and ended up with 9 + 8, so 17 Strength. That's pretty good for being Awakened for only 1 week. "
,, Still, I feel like I did a pretty good job raising my Stats already when I think about my 'low Potential'. I even got a Level up, so training actually gives XP. I love this System already."
"Oh, it's 5 pm already… Let's surprise my dad and Aera with a nice dinner.
Let's at least try to make something decent… And tomorrow, I'll finally see my best friend again. "
