>Excited, Michael immediately rushed over to the Lucid s.p.a.ce version of his mirror and pulled up his Status. When he did, he saw another notice from the System.
Michael agreed, and immediately saw a giant wall of text displayed on his mirror.

Michael observed the information displayed and tried to absorb it. He noted the new abilities that he"d unlocked, such as Sleep Optimization and his Lucid s.p.a.ce, and tried to process the explanations of the various components of his physique. Upon observation, things made a lot more sense. With 11 different attributes to improve, it was natural that his overall physique wouldn"t improve that drastically.
"By the way, System, I"ve been meaning to ask. It shows my physique as an 8. What"s that in comparison to? What"s the frame of reference?"
>"Got it. What would you say the physique of the top 5 in my cla.s.s are?"
>Michael clenched his fists, though he still couldn"t feel it. Forget about his proficiency at the various events in the Regional Games, even his physique couldn"t match up to them. Furthermore, the odds of them being the strongest compet.i.tors out of the entire Games was extremely unlikely.
"I have to get stronger, fast. Wait - that"s not right. I need to improve my physique. System, would I be correct that it"s easier to improve lower level attributes than higher ones?"
>"Right. How can I improve my coordination?"
Michael nodded. He needed to develop some of these skills for the Games, anyway, so they"d eventually be added to the plan. He already had the new Daily Routine, and didn"t want to bite off more than he could chew. Still, he had less than six months until the Games, so he couldn"t afford to take things too slowly.
"Are there any viable candidates for coordination exercises that I can start now? Something that won"t conflict too much with the current routine?"
>Michael gritted his teeth and agreed. He didn"t want to be pulling in more and more missions, but since he wouldn"t be able to place well in the Games if he didn"t improve his physique anyway.
[Mission: Improve Coordination]
Description: Research and practice any of the following exercises or disciplines in order to elevate your coordination to 10 by the Regional Games:
- Swimming
- Yoga
- Internally-focused Martial Art
- Weightlifting
- Dance
- Gymnastics
Rewards: Mental Enhancement Module.>>
Michael reviewed his options, and decided to find as many books as he could on yoga and internal martial arts at the school. The others required facilities he couldn"t easily access on a regular basis, and dance just seemed too complicated. Plus, he would need music and that wasn"t something he could do at 4am, or late at night. Still, the list of books he needed kept getting longer and longer!
By this point it was almost time to wake up, so he went back to his bed and lay down as he had the day before, ready to re-open his eyes and tackle that new dreadful routine again.

4:00am, September 10th, 2000 CE
Michael opened his eyes and flexed his limbs as he got used to the sensation of controlling his body again. He was stunned to find that he was only mildly sore, significantly less than he expected to be.
"System, is that your doing?"
>Almost in perfect timing, Michael"s stomach started growling fiercely. He was famished. Still, he had his new routine to tackle, first. Perhaps because of the clear gap he felt between himself and his targets, or due to the significant recovery he felt compared to the previous day, he made his way over to his exercise area with determination.
---
His early morning pa.s.sed much better than the previous morning, and he even had the chance to make himself a hearty wild-greens omelette. He also transferred out the slow-cooked offal stew he made into a number of containers, making sure that it was well-sealed before putting a vacuum flask full into his bag along with the rest of his meals for the day. While doing so, he had a chance to chat with his parents as they started their day, discussing the books he"d "skimmed" last night and his plans for the project. His parents were a bit suspicious by the amount he had "skimmed", suspecting he might have stayed up too late reading, which he vehemently denied. He then packed the rest of his gear and took off for his morning run to school.
