After being taught a lesson by the grandmaster I was knocked back meters into a wall, onto my back, onto my face, onto my stomach and after 50 rounds of receiving around one of the each embarrassment. I finally gained something, it was a blue popup.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“You have gained the endurance stat due to enduring constant or immense pain”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Phew finally exhausted and seeing as I wasn't doing too well, I fell asleep. I woke up by the side of the master making breakfast before taking on his hellish training. “You’ll need energy to complete the tasks in store for today.” He laughed while scaring the life out of me. Snapping out of a trance, I looked outside. Today there were a lot more people than when I first got here. I could only assume these were the players or people from my world here to play the game. Phew at least I got a head start and they would need to find out the mechanics of the game and that would take around 2-3 hours max.
Unlike others, to progress I would need to work the hardest since I did not have an ounce of luck or talent. Musashi began. “Time to start your beginner training. Since you don’t have even an inch of muscles good for fighting, we’ll need to develop them and your stamina.” Thus I began my day running 3 kilometers every day. I was only able to run since Musashi was following behind me holding a large whip. If I stopped running he would whip me, leaving a lot of scars by the time the training ended. Other exercises would include me squatting with my arms out wide while there was a candle lit under my ass and blades tied to my elbows. If I ever put my arms down it would result in me stabbing myself. The worst was usually when I had to spar with Musashi who even held back. When hit with one kick or punch I would be knocked out, almost feeling as if my spirit was going to leave my body but it instantly returned knowing I wasn't dead.
Now having increased the weights to 30 pounds each after two weeks of training I was asked to run an errand to ask the city blacksmith to make me some equipment. By the time I was done with the beginner training I would look decent enough to go register at the Frontier office. As I headed back, I slipped into an alleyway for a shortcut. There I happened to find a fairy sprite which was running away from some dark looking figures which had a sinister aura around them. Seeing no way out of this confusion I knew the only way was to run straight through until I had reached Musashi’s shack. Wondering why my head was so itchy it turned out to be that scared fairy from earlier. As Musashi walked out and saw I had a friend with me, he was rather surprised because it was a fairy and they were known to dislike humans ever since they had started seeing fairies as evil beings and begun killing them off. Musashi suggested: “Since she’s taking a liking to you, you should make a contract with her.” Wow I guess I would be first one to ever have a fairy as a companion as those were usually animals of some sorts. But fairies were intelligent creatures that had a miniature form looking like a small chibi action figure.
When I asked if she had understood what was being said, she would only nod since I couldn't possibly understand what she was saying. Not knowing what the contract required I asked her and she led me to the room Musashi gave me. After shutting the door she came up to me and smacked her lips against mine. I turned bright red wondering: “Was that what I think it was?” I almost fainted since back home I have always been really shy towards girls and I have never had a girlfriend in my life. Now all of sudden I was given a kiss out nowhere. Thoughts rushed through my head of all the possibilities until I finally noticed that a magic circle had appeared by my feet. Words were forced into my head.
You who is my life’s savior shall be granted my aid in life and death. In return you shall vow to protect me from harm and continue to exist to stand by my side till death.
Once again I was given a kiss which was on a completely different level with her tongue around mine since she was now in a humanoid form with a body of a petite 17 year old yet had the curbs and bust to make you think she was a supermodel.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last Surviving Fairy Contract: During your time with the fairy you have proven yourself to be a hero to her and you have given new meaning to her life. You are her newfound light which can possibly guide and drive away the evil that has taken over her forest. You have been given a choice to accept or refuse the contract, since the contract has already begun you cannot refuse this request.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the kiss ended I was finally able to understand what she was saying and received another two popups.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Passive) Lost Language LV1 0.0
You are now able to read and understand languages that have long been lost since the beginning of the last great war. Currently only able to understand the fairy tongue.

Rewards: Intimacy with nature spirits and gods up by 50%. Privilege to enter and find hidden areas within forests.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was reluctant to decide since this quest was pretty high up the chain and the level of quest would be pretty hard for me as I am now. But since the rewards would be worth it and as I need to take responsibility for my actions of forming the contract with the damsel in distress I said: “Yes.”
She decided to move about but then realized she was never given a name and has asked you to give her a name.
I shall name her Sakura since her hair was a pinkish color that could blend in with Sakura cherry blossoms. You would feel calm looking into her eyes while the Sakura petals slowly fall to the ground. After all that I checked the time and rushed out knowing I would miss out on my training, this was the only thing that would allow me to get stronger to complete my new quest. We now began learning punches and kicks which I would practice on a wooden dummy or on a wooden log post since Musashi said it would help strengthen my bones and fists. While I had to practice kicking a metal post in which was made of iron and made me feel like it would almost break my legs, I was told that if I kept this up every day for 4 hours straight alternating between fists and kicks I would eventually gain a new skill.

Not knowing what Sakura could help me with, I said: “Sakura’s stats and skills.”

The things she has right now are pretty cool and if leveled up she would become a valuable asset to me. As such we decided I would later take her to the mages’ guild to train her abilities. Another week had passed by so finally nearing the end of my training period, my weights were increased to 50 on each side. That certainly hurt since I now had to practice how to walk since all I could do was drag my feet. During this time I was taught on how to throw and to escape throws and finally after seeing my potential I was taught how to channel my Ki and implement it in my techniques. Musashi himself said that it took him 2 months before he was finally able to earn the skill required to graduate the training. All of my hard work was only half of it, the rest was due to the old coot who never left me alone when I slept. This increased my experience in battles and since I was against a master that never held back against me, I was forced to take every hit not able to die since he apparently intentionally hit me until my health was around 1%.
In the time leading up to my final test, Sakura had practiced her skills and had managed to raise her beginner skills to level 8 just in time for my departure for the test during which I would be accompanied by my Master Musashi. As I got ready for the final test that day, I had an ominous feeling and figured to just shake it off. I was finally given permission to take the weights off and I was given a new skill upon the equipment hitting the floor.

Looking at the increase in stats, I said happily that I must be the most OP level one character in the whole world. Before I left I was given a pair of armguards, a light Gi or Japanese type of uniform, with a pair of traditional pants, and a linen cloth belt which would hold the uniform together.

Used by Musashi, it has seen the ends of the earth as they are an heirloom of the late grandmaster who had been through many battles.
Thus we began our journey outside. Not knowing what lay ahead, we headed straight towards death itself to satisfy our thirst for adventure and our curiosity of the world. As an army was seen on the horizon.
The destination for our journey was towards the mountains of the east where he used to train and would be harder for the body and would be able be one with nature. Instead of using the normal path we took a shortcut which ended being longer than we thought since what we entered was a really strong dungeon.
