Three Years of Training…
While the summoned heroes received their respective training in the fancy castle with fancy utilities and their fancy training arena, by the most experienced warriors/healers in the kingdom I was escorted to my small and comfy looking wooden cottage, It was a two story building with a sturdy foundation, seems I won’t have to worry about strong winds, and it does not look like tornadoes are a thing around here.I felt like a kid all over again, all giddy to explore my new, free home (It was FREE!)(with the minor inconvenience of being taken to a completely new world but nonetheless it's still a free home).
I Excitedly paced around the house looking through every turn, admiring the wooden traditional kitchen, the well ventilated wood rooms, the well built basement(polished cobblestone), the dark and empty, yet clean attic and the bathroom, I was relieved to know that toilets and showers were a thing thanks to magic tools and the cities magic maintained sewer systems. Good thing this world's magic technology is at least advanced enough to replace science to some degree. My only regret is the lack of internet.
In the early morning the delicious smell of most dirt and dewy grass permeated the air, the temperature slightly cool with a bit of moisture relieved me skin. The bliss of having little pollution and a great relationship with nature.
*Whooohoooo* taking in a relaxing deep breath I decided to explore the outside. I was slightly stressed from exploring every corner of my house and going on a walk was the perfect change of pace I needed.
While walking through the neat gray gravel pathway, I looked around the luscious foliage and bright blooming flowers, the beautiful light blue sky only added to the village’s beauty. This village truly deserved the name of morningdew village. Though I don't think the village being this close to the forest is a good idea, might explain why the baron that used to own my cottage gave it up...
Some normal looking villagers looked at me with complex and rapidly changing expressions. I understood why, not only was my physical appearance very different from here, but it was also apparent I was well off financially yet I decided to move to such an isolated area from the kingdom It could mean a lot of things from being the barons bastard child to just being a strong adventurer(though it’s obvious i'm not) who earned enough to buy a luxurious home.
But in the end after seeing my carefree attitude, they probably realized I was here to release my stress of living in the big cities and began to pay less attention to me.
Three days later….
In Front of me, Is a walking mushroom. A bright red cap and a beautiful brown stem, It’s tiny legs really made it seem like a funny creature.
“Piku piku piku piku”
It’s cap began contracting as it made a very funny sounding noise
Uriel- “Ahhhh! “Ohhh” Aren't chu just an adorable little creature you!”
It’s small black beady eyes stared at my chest for a while.
Uriel- “whaa, what's wrong little guy...?
Mushroom- “piku piku piku”
Uriel- “what?”
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
*Ram!*
“Cough” “Cough” I was launched several feet away, My ribs were only a point away from being fractured and all the air in my chest was gone.
“Hehuhehu” Trying to regain my breath I noticed the mushroom getting closer”
Mushroom- “piku Piku”
Uriel- “Fuck you”
Just as the mushroom charged at me, I quickly laid back on the grassy ground, the mooshroom flew only an inch above me. I rapidly ran towards it and took hold of its cap, using all my strength I Ripped It off.
Congrats! You Killed a Level 0 “Mushroom Cap” -10000 EXP

And that day, I realized I had to find a way to get stronger.
I got beat up by a level 0 mushroom.
From that day I began killing monsters, only to realized I for some reason got negative EXP.
I realized that my only option was body strengthening, since I could not rely on the system.
Month One: I Began my specialized workout, No matter how hard it was for me, I always persevered.
One Hundred Push Ups
One Hundred Pull Ups
One Hundred Squats
And a Ten Kilometer Run
Every day!
(totally did not rip off this workout from anywhere)
Month Two:While my stats don't seem to increase, they stopped decreasing and instead became stuck at the average level.

Title: None
Strength: 10

Intelligence: 10
Class None:

Month Six: The people from the kingdom stopped keeping a watch on me (got a letter saying so, I didn't even realize I was being watched), since I spent my day using the same everyday routine, they eventually decided I wasn't going to be a problem.
My strength has greatly increased… but My stats themselves have remained static.
Month Twelfth: I’m 18 years old now, I began fighting the dangerous monsters in the forest, My strength has increased by leaps and bounds, but my stats are still static.
Month Thirteen: I killed a monster known as a Kobold lord, It was fairly easy.
My social life in the village isn't good, the villagers only see me when I’m doing my ten kilometer run, or preparing to go hunt monsters. I have completely blended into the town. My status is still static.
Month twenty: I accidentally jumped too far and landed in a dragon's lair, while fighting it I felt the best feeling I have ever felt, the adrenaline flowing through my blood created the biggest feeling of bliss I’ve ever felt. While I won, I was still severely wounded.
Month Thirty: So far I have Killed many powerful beasts, but It’s become too easy to win… there is no longer any feeling of accomplishment, therefore I decided to stop Hunting. The death of several dragons stirred the empire, but It quickly faded away.
Month Thirty-six: I finally stopped the workout, my hair fell off....from unknown reasons. I also discovered a rusted sword in my backyard with my name engraved on it, I forgot how I even got it in the first place.
Im… bald. The look the villagers give me annoy me a bit, but It quickly faded away along with their snickers. The king Announced the news of the heroes being summoned, It stirred the whole kingdom and other nearby powers. Now without the kingdom restricting my movements, I could finally visit town, maybe i’ll also start talking to the villagers.
And so the story Begins…
