Chapter - 3 : Daily Routine :
--
Alex's early life was marred by tragic events. At the tender age of four, he experienced the loss of his mother, who succumbed to breast cancer. Three years later, his father, a skilled level 5 Advanced Weapon Master wielding a "Normal D level Sword weapon," tragically lost his life while serving in the army. He valiantly sacrificed himself to protect a fellow comrade during a mission against the "Invaders."
Throughout these heartbreaking moments, Alex remained emotionally detached, unable to shed tears or express grief. The inherent lack of emotions that characterized his existence seemed to persist even in this new world of Aracius. This emotional numbness, which accompanied him from Earth, created a sense of detachment and made it challenging for him to process and experience sorrow like others might.
As an orphan at the age of seven, Alex's upbringing fell into the care of his grandfather, a level 3 Advanced Weapon Master who wielded a "Normal E level Sword Weapon." Growing up on Earth, Alex harbored a deep desire to be reborn into a different world, where he could become powerful and forge his own destiny. When he found himself transported to the world of Aracius, his wish seemingly granted, he was determined to achieve his goal .
Starting at the age of four, under the guidance of his father and later his grandfather, Alex embarked on a rigorous training regime. They passed on their knowledge and honed his skills, instilling within him the foundations of swordsmanship and combat. However, tragedy struck once again when his grandfather passed away from a heart attack when Alex was only thirteen years old. Despite this loss, the training he received during those formative years left a lasting impact, and he was determined to continue his journey of growth and strength in this new world.
From the very beginning of his training, Alex displayed an exceptional talent with the sword. Even as a novice, he quickly grasped the intricacies of swordsmanship and progressed at an impressive rate, far surpassing what was typically expected at such a young age. His father and grandfather, taken aback by his natural aptitude, recognized his potential and decided to impart their extensive knowledge of sword techniques to him.
Stolen story; please report.
In addition to sword training, Alex also received instruction in the "Basic Mana Method" at school. This method aimed to enhance the strength of one's soul, providing a solid foundation before the awakening of the natal weapon. While not everyone could sense mana, Alex was among the fortunate few who possessed this ability. However, it is important to note that sensing mana did not guarantee the ability to awaken a natal weapon.
Those who possessed the ability to sense mana were separated into a distinct group and received specialized training tailored to their unique talents. On the other hand, those who lacked the capacity to sense mana were relegated to the lower echelons of society, as their chances of awakening a natal weapon were significantly diminished.
With a deep breath and a sigh, Alex rose from his bed, carrying the weight of his memories with him. He made his way to the backyard, where he engaged in his daily training regimen. This routine had become his anchor, shaping his life in this new world.
Every day, without fail, Alex would begin his training at 5 o'clock in the morning, dedicating two hours to honing his sword skills and pushing his physical limits. After the morning session, he would proceed to attend school, where he would immerse himself in academic pursuits until 4 pm.
Once school ended, Alex would return home and immediately resume his training until 8 pm. These evening hours were focused on further refining his swordsmanship and integrating combat techniques. Following this demanding physical training, he would spend three hours reciting and practicing the "Basic Mana Method," nurturing and strengthening his soul's connection to mana.
Only after the completion of his rigorous training regimen would Alex finally retire to bed, preparing himself for the challenges that awaited him the next day. This disciplined routine had become his way of life, a path he walked with unwavering determination and a burning desire to reach the pinnacle of his abilities.
