Chapter 7: Training 01

"All right. Next up 'skills'."

'Skills'

Gamer's Mind - Passive (LV.MAX) : Gamer's Mind is one of the skills granted to the player by the system. It allows the user to calmly and logically think things through. Allows a peaceful state of mind. This skill also provides Immunity to mental disorders. Gamer's Mind is a skill that's already obtained and maxed.

Gamer's Body - Passive (LV.MAX) : Gamer's Body is one of the skills granted to the player by the system. While this skill grants a body that allows the user to live the real world like a game, it has certain limitations. Cuts and bruises will be healed based on the physical stats of the user. User receives minimal physical damage from blunt force attacks, only pain for a few seconds and a loss of HP. But piercing and stabbing attacks have a limited effect on the gamer's body. Sleeping in a bed restores HP, CP, SP. The Gamer's Body is a passive skill that is already obtained and maxed.

Gaia's Blessing - Passive (LV.MAX) : The great God Gaia has blessed you and bestowed on you a special ability. Gaia's blessing will ensure that you will always be strong and healthy in your lifetime.

Temporary Effect: Gives the soul a new healthy body.

Permanent Effect: All diseases, poisons and negative status effects are healed. Sleeping increases regeneration. Sleeping in a bed increases regeneration several fold.

Observe - Active (LV.9 (53%)) : A skill to find the target's information. Observe is obtained through continuous observation. Higher level of the skill reveals more information about the target.

'I expected the first two skills and 'Observe', but what's the 3rd one? Gaia's blessing? Is that how I got a new body? Seems to be a one-time thing. But that permanent effect on the other hand, that's definitely a great blessing. Guess I won't have to worry about terminal illnesses or poison experts.'

As Daichi was reading the skills he did a double take. His eyes stopped at the gamer's body skill and he read every line carefully.

'Receives minimal damage from blunt force attacks but stabbing and piercing attacks have limited effects?? Does that mean if someone pierced my internal organs, they would be damaged?? Could those injuries be permanent?'

'No. No... Based on what I understand, Gaia's permanent blessing would counteract all negative status effects and heal damaged organs. But that's one question I'm not eager to confirm the answer to. Still… This could be a blessing in disguise. If people saw me get stabbed and see no bleeding or any external injuries they would definitely get suspicious.'

'The last thing I want is to end up as a test subject for dissection on an operating table under the scalpels of several doctors or worse, Orochimaru.'

After going through everything one more time, Daichi closed all the notification boxes and went to the window in his room. He could see the back of the home. There was a koi pond along with several wooden training stumps. Some of the stumps had targets painted on them.

'Guess I'll be able to practice my shuriken and kunai throwing skills here.'

And in another corner there were rocks of various shapes and sizes. 'Maybe I can use those for weight training.' Time flew by and after about an hour he went down to meet the old man.

When he got down, he saw Kensei bringing the food. They ate in a comfortable silence and enjoyed the meal. When they finished, Daichi took the bowl from the old man and went to the kitchen to wash it. After washing the second dish he got a new skill.

[A new skill is created with a specific action.]

[Through continuous dishwashing, a skill to wash and clean dishes, 'Dish washing' has been created.]

Dishwashing - Passive (LV.1): A skill obtained through continuous dishwashing. With more mastery you can clean any dirty spots with more speed.

Effects : +5% increase in speed.

'Just as I thought. I can obtain new skills with certain repetitive actions.'

When he got done, he went back to find his grandpa. Kensei was waiting for him in the living room. He said, "Come, I'll show you the rest of the house."

The house had a room dedicated for training and sparring. It was a wide area with a tall stump in the corner. There was also a library filled with books and scrolls of all sizes. When Daichi saw it his eyes widened in excitement. 'All that knowledge.'

"I see you like my library." Kensei said, understanding Daichi's thirst for knowledge.

"All the knowledge I have acquired throughout my career is recorded and stored here. For now I'll let you take the basics but after you've proven yourself to me, I'll let you have them all depending on your progress."

"Thanks Gramps. I won't let you down."

They left and went outside. "This house has some basic defenses. It tells me if anyone unexpected arrives among other things. I've added your chakra to the seal as well."

"I definitely gotta learn how to do that."

"In time." Kensei then looked over to the garden. He had a melancholic expression on his face. "My wife planted those flowers. She built a beautiful garden in memory of my son. But now watching those flowers wither away and the whole place in such disarray...." Kensei sighed to himself.

Just then a new quest appeared.

'After reading the quest there is no way I'm rejecting it. By the end of the year that's almost 15000 exp. This quest alone would definitely increase my level several times.' Daichi accepted the quest but didn't tell the old man. He wanted to surprise him.

"Come on. Let's take a look around the back." Putting a small smile on, Kensei started walking.

There was a medium-sized koi pond and several shuriken target stumps lined. "You can train your shurikenjutsu here and someday in the future, advanced chakra control techniques… So what do you think?"

"It's perfect. Let's get started. I wanna start training right now."

Kensei smiled at the reply and sat down on the wooden veranda. "Do some light stretches. That way you don't pull your muscles. Then start running around the compound. As I understand you've never had any training in your life, have you?"

"No"

"Then it's important we find the current limits of your body. And then increase that limit day by day. Show me that determination and willpower."

"Oh don't you worry gramps. You're not gonna be disappointed."

Daichi started doing some light stretches to loosen up and get used to his new body. After about 20 minutes a new notification appeared.

Due to successful control of your body and senses, you have obtained +1 DEX

'So stretching exercises increase the dexterity points huh. Good to know. Control of body and senses… Hmm… I'll have to look into that.'

Daichi was feeling small amounts of pain all over his body. But he endured it. After about a minute the pain he was feeling disappeared.

"Now that you're all limbered up, take 10 laps around the compound."

Daichi quickly accepted the quest, opened up his status window and started running. But he kept his speed low. His speed was between jogging and sprinting.

He wanted to see how long he could keep this up. He knew that with his current stats, completing the bonus parts of the quest would be very difficult if not impossible. He didn't want to run faster and exhaust himself quickly.

So he kept a steady pace intent on completing the quest and ignored its bonus parts. As he kept running, he saw his stamina points slowly decrease. He also saw several notification boxes popping up.

Due to the continued physical training, you have obtained +1 VIT

Due to the continued physical training, you have obtained +1 AGI

Watching the notification boxes appear and inform him of his stat growth only made him more motivated. He kept running at a steady pace. As he completed each lap he was getting more and more tired and his breathing became heavier.

Due to the continued physical training, you have obtained +1 VIT

Due to the continued physical training, you have obtained +1 AGI

After about 17 minutes Daichi completed 10 laps around the house. His heart was pounding in his chest and he was breathing heavily. His legs felt like jelly. He saw that his stamina points were in the single digit. Daichi took a walk around the house one more time to calm himself down.

Quest 'Complete 10 laps.' Completed.

Rewards:

+230 Exp.

Rep increases with Kensei Yasaji.

'Strange. I thought the reward was +200Exp.' As Daichi was pondering on this question it suddenly hit him.

'The title 'capable child.' It increases the exp reward by 15%.'

"So… how.. Did I do?" Even though he knew the answer he asked, still breathing through his mouth but not as heavily.

"You just ran 2.5 km in 17 minutes and 15 seconds. Not bad for a 5 year old with no previous training. But we definitely have our work cut out for us. Now go sit under the tree beside the pond. Try and meditate. Meditation helps in focusing the mind and rejuvenating the body."

Daichi went to the tree and sat under its shade. He sat cross legged and closed his eyes. He kept his eyes closed and concentrated on his breathing. After a couple of minutes his mind became distracted with several thoughts, but he once again concentrated on his breathing. With each breath he could feel his body relaxing.

This time he was able to concentrate for about 10 minutes before he became distracted again. He took a deep breath and let it out and once again focused on his breathing. This time he stayed that way as he felt his body once again in a relaxed state. His heart was beating in a calm manner and the pains he had all disappeared. He didn't even open his eyes when a new notification appeared. He just focused on his breathing and listened to the sounds of his heartbeat.
