AN: once again let me thank JackaJack for the awesome idea of changing Satan to Satin 

(AN below was made at a later date)

AN: *Cough Cough* this is you king speaking.

As most of you know I was hit on the head pretty hard and then other shit happened, then I started re reading my favourite mangas and for some reason, got into pre 20th Century literature.

Cut to the chase, this might get weird.

- - - - - - - - - -

‘Satin?

… Is that what Bern (the ant) heard?

Well it sounds ok.

Whatever.’

Currently I am being carried on the backs of Bern and a few other ants that were called over, to where I presume Ant Queen Anna is.

I also found out some more stuff about Bern

Firstly I asked why he was a different colour compared to the rest of the ants and apparently he was a variant called Mind Ants, not very creative but then again they are just ants.

Anyway, mind ants are generally weaker than the normal ants, Soldier Ants, but in exchange have the innate ability to use telepathy and later on they get some mind reading abilities, it’s said the top ability of Mind Ants is brainwashing.

Right now Bern has mastered telepathy and can perform Mind Reading to a certain ascent.

(AN: I wasn’t sure what this word Ascent meant at first, but it just popped into my head and when I dictionaried it, I found it meant “to a certain degree”. Not sure if it’s used often so I just thought I’d write this)

Apparently he tried it on me before but for some reason was unable to,

‘It might be due to me being the champion of Vinerva spirit of the Mind etc. I think I’ll tell them that I’m a champion later.’

Anyways, our journey was slow moving, not because Bern and co. was slow but because I had to stick my root into the ground every thirty seconds otherwise I felt I would dry up, and being away from the sun left me weak and tired. However as it was slow moving it gave more time to observe my surroundings, not that there was much to see mind you.

The tunnels we were in were gradually getting wider and taller as we continued, with more and more ants passing at more regular intervals.

The ant types we were passing also changed, before there were just Soldier Ants which were brown with red hues but now there were more dark brown ants with bright yellow highlights, almost like they were wearing a high visibility jacket. These new ants were called Worker Ants and they were in charge with building, carrying etc.

Apparently Worker Ants and Soldier Ants were the most common variants for ants but there were a few more rare ones like Mind Ants.

‘Aww shit, getting dizzy again,’

-Sorry, need to stop- (me)

- Okay- (Bern)

*sigh*

This is a major pain, not to mention kinda embarrassing, not sure why.

In this situation I think I should ask my trusty alter ego that I gave birth to when I was in the void.

*Gachang*

Hi Santa Babezzz, u heard the prob right? Xxx =]

Yes I heard it mother

Wot shud I do? Lolz *^_^*

Isn’t it simple?

No, that’s why im askin u!!! stfu lmao

Just start training again mother, knowing you you’ll be fine

Oh yh! Rite, I 4got tehee pero, thx Santa!

No problem. Bye now

Yh byebye xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx luv ya :’(

You too

*Gachang*

Ahhhh it’s so nice to have such a clever alter ego…

Right, stamina training start! Lmao stfu lol fo dayz

(AN: … Yeah looking back on this after I’d calmed down a little, I have NO idea where I was going with this. But it seems kind of fun so I’ll just roll with it)

And so my first training phase started

Firstly I just started to try extending the intervals between when we need to stop and I also asked Bern to give a tiny pebble, of which I wrapped my main root around and started to weight train, my secondary root I just lifted up and down.

Due to this our speed dropped considerably, before I needed stop every thirty seconds now it’s every seven seconds.

However I do not mind. If this is what I must do then so be it.

I tell Bern that after we have stopped five times with seven second intervals, we will extend the intervals too eight seconds. And the break is always twenty seconds long, no longer no shorter.

This may seem like a long break and that’s because it is, but there is a reason for this, I measured that it takes thirty seconds for me to get back to full stamina after a seven second journey. So I will cut it just short so as to extend my training (contradictory as it may seem, but if you think about it you don’t want to get back to full stamina when in the gym but always put strain on yourself), thus giving me time to clearly mark my limits.

Once I got to the eight second intervals, third rep, I felt my first limit.

(AN: so he’s done his 5 seven second repetitions and moved onto the eight second repetitions, he got stuck on the 3rd rep.)

Having done stupid amounts of training in my previous life there was no mistake that this is my first wall, one that I must overcome.

‘Just one more Rep, one more and I’ll take a sixty second rest, I probably look pretty comical right now, a dick shaped sapling lifting pebbles as if they were weights…

I’m getting depressed now… or rather, is it really not going to happen?’

What I speak of if the second objective of this training, a test. Remembering how I got extra Int from being clever I was wondering if I could get notices for when I did physical training.

*Ding*

INTELLEGENCE + 3

496 >> 499

STRENGTH + 2

16 >> 18

STAMINA + 2

11 >> 13Sta used: 11

Sta unused: 2

And it would seem so.

‘Right, I want to get at least one more break through before we get to the Queen’s place’

Thus the epic journey continues…

By the time we stopped I had gained 2 more Stamina points and 1 Strength point.

Currently we were to the right of an entrance to a small cave like place. The inside of the cave was giving of a faint glow.

-This is where the Queen is?- (me)

-Yes, shall we enter?- (Bern)

-Lets- (me)

- - - - - - - - - - -

AN:

Phew, that was hard work.

Sorry it’s late, I know I said it’ll be out last week but other stuff happened and it got delayed

Tell me what you think of the training, to long? To short? OK?

And as always thanks for reading.

Oh, forgot to say

sorry this one's kind of short but I didn't really have time
