Omni-Mastery Chapter 7
Advertisement
My new native body had quite the fame within the village. He used to be an energetic guy that was loved by all, but all of that changed with the death of his parents…
Having died to rescue the village of a savage monster attack, their disappearance made him become a shut-in who did nothing but body breaking training with mal-nutrition, leading to the body's current state which made me barely have the stats of a child to start with.
However, unlike what one would expect, the training of this world's Ian to exact revenge on all monsters, which made no sense at all, didn't actually leave any residual effect on his body. Not only didn't his body sustain any permanent trauma, but it also didn't have any disabilities. The training which should have turned into a cripple with his stupid routine barely just made the body's whole state regress, which was actually quite surprising.
Though it seemed to be quite the setback to me to start with a weak body, I believed that it might actually be better as I would get the chance to schedule my training based on my own knowledge since this body was quite similar to that of a clean slate. As long as I used the right food diet and a suitable training routine, then removing this body's overall weakness shouldn't take too much time.
'After all, progress is easy at the very start with enough preservation…'
As such, I planned to procure a suitable amount of proper food that would suit what I learnt during my general studies on nutrition back in reality with the small amount of money that I had left in this house and worry about future funds later. Once I had enough strength and stats to fulfill the quest requirements, doing any simple quest could sustain me for the rest of the arc.

The currency used in this game was quite simple as well, Gold, Silver and Copper coins were the general values of the Lost Realm's currency system. Similar to a few games that Virtual Domain has released before, one gold coin equaled 100 silver coins, and a silver coin equaled 100 copper coins. According to the memories I received, 10 silver coins were quite enough to allow a family of three to live off them frugally for a month or so.
On the other hand, some quests had rewards that came in gold coins, which made it quite easy to build up a future fund with enough foundation, as well as made it worth it to splurge now for a proper nutrition diet for that foundation.
Although I wasn't able to move on my own back in reality, I had always researched into nutrition as one of the paths that could have healed or at least improved my body's state, and while it didn't prove helpful back then, the free time I spent reading deeply into the subject seemed like it would be a great help in my current predicament.
As a cripple, I could barely do anything other than reading using a VR head gear, so topics like body training were also thoroughly read by me just like nutrition, so formulating a plan wasn't that hard.
Taking a quarter of an hour to complete a food menu for the next month, I took all the coins in the house and put them in my pocket as I headed to the main grocery shop in the village as well as the butcher's shop before making a round trip back to the house with only one silver coin and few copper change left in my pocket...

2. Run 3.36 km {0/3.36km}
3. Swing a weapon 1327 times {0/1327}
4. ..... ]
Finally reaching the house and putting the food aside in their proper reserved place, I was surprised to see a system panel popping up on its own, which seemed to be a new addition to the village quest log.
[ Quest Log:
1. Village Quests (↓)
2. Daily Quests (↓) ]
'Why was it only unlocked now…?'
Though surprised by its sudden appearance, I immediately dismissed the thought for now, it was probably a benefit of choosing the 'Hidden Training Mode' that could only be unlocked depending on behaviour, and while I didn't know if the system could read my mind, I could tell that it likely had to do with my decision.
'There was indeed more to it.'
While it was true that no rewards were mentioned for the daily quests just like the village ones, it seemed like something that could only bring benefit to me, besides, following these quest's instructions didn't contradict my training plan at all as it was in essence simple cardio that was one of the vital elements of training.
However, I decided to leave it aside for now as I headed to the library room and picked the first book my hand landed on.
"I should be able to go through the complete collection of books by the end of the day…"
Naturally, reading more about this world's training methods as well as their fighting techniques first was a must before finalizing the training plan I had in mind as getting a good grasp on how things were done here would be better, the Lost Realm was meant to be a completely new world after all.
Having a photographic memory heavily decreased the time I spent to finish reading a book, so reading the whole thing wasn't going to waste that much time anyway.
Looking at the book in my hand titled as 'Physical Training and Tempering', I opened the cover as I started to scan the pages fairly quickly.
My first day in this new game world was still mostly spent practicing my usual hobby as a bookworm, but I was still quite satisfied, 'Another Life' was indeed a very apt name to describe it!
