The obvious spell that everyone immediately thinks of is fireball. But I didn"t have anything I could test it out on and use as a target.

Imagining a core of power inside my chest, drawing it out through my hands.

I tried imagining power welling in my hands, overlapping, swelling. With my eyes closed I imagined the feeling for a few minutes.

I quickly squashed it in disgust. To my disappointment however, I wasn"t given a notification of exp.

Changing into loose clothing, I went outside and started jogging down the pavement. It was a hot day and a few cars pa.s.sed me.

This wasn"t going to be harder than I thought was it?

END +1

With a groan, I collapsed on a nearby bench. The minute I did so, two more windows appeared.

You have learned the skill Jogging

By depleting it, you have learned of your stamina

Freaking finally. I thought it was strange not to have a stamina bar.

As I watched, my stamina rose by 1.

Judging by my new skill Jogging, it seemed that I would be able to unlock movement related skills.

SkillJoggingLevel1Jogging at a steady pace has gotten easier.
You can keep jogging for slightly longer!

Why couldn"t it give me figures? Numbers? Some facts I can work with instead of this vague textual description of less stamina consumed..

I headed back home, I wanted to see about trying to level up some other skill.

The skill Jogging has reached level 2You can keep jogging for slightly longer!
Jogging speed has also slightly increased!

Nice! I had been hoping for speed gains. Later, I thought I should try learn the skills for jumping and sprinting.

I finished jogging home, and instead of being completely tired, my stamina still had a few points left in it.

Pushing piles of books aside and a broken TV. I found my baseball bat. Heading back upstairs I exited the back door and went out to the backyard.

We had a thick wooden log set in the ground there. Relic of the previous tenants. I don"t know what it"s for honestly, but it would make a great target to whack with the bat.

Increase my strength as well.

Taking a stance, I started slamming the bat into the side of the pillar. A minute pa.s.sed and my arms were growing tired.

My hands grew numb from the jolt and pain of the bat thudding against a hard object. You should try it out sometime. Its great..

STR +1

You have learned the subskill Blunt Weapons: Clubs

Taking a break, I looked at the newly acquired skills

SkillBlunt WeaponsLevel1Blunt weapons deal more damage

SkillBlunt Weapons: ClubsLevel1You deal more damage when using a club or related weapon

Stamina replenished again, I got back up and continued smashing my bat into the wooden log.

Finally with a swing at the log, the bat slipped out of my unfeeling fingers.

I"d pushed my body further than I had ever tried in the past.

During this time, I gained a few stats, levelled up my blunt weapon skills and gained two new skills.

SkillPhysical ExerciseLevel2When training, experience gains increases and stamina depletion decreases

The skills were useful, though during this the shock of the bat hitting the thick log had dealt damage. My health regenerated however, so instead of some super low amount, my health was 80/87.

Healthy body = More health points.

I had also gained a level from this.

I choose to place them all in wisdom.

After taking a shower and changing, I went inside my room.

I had completely forgotten about yesterday.

My good mood was killed.

I needed to get rid of the computer as the smell of burnt plastic was getting to me.

Packing it up, I took the remains outside to the dumpster and threw them in.

My mother was home and she was surprised that I cooked something earlier. She made white rice to eat alongside the curry.

After finishing it (It wasn"t very thick), I moved onto a book describing the life of a chinese general, then a fantasy novel.

I seem to be gaining stats abnormally fast. Is this the power of the Gamer skill?

Giving it no further thought, I then fell asleep.
