Sunlight glazed over the building where a man is sitting on a chair. His back was straight, eyes closed, and hands on his side. If a person afar would see this man, they would assume that the man was in deep meditation. However, if one looked closely, they would see that the man is actually drooling!

A slight breeze went past through his body, and it made the sleeping Rei wake up. He directly stood up with his eyes wide wondering on what happened and why he was here. It took him a fully five seconds to remember all of the things that happened yesterday and it caused him to heave a heavy sigh.

"What a weird dream. I don't remember watching anything like that back on Earth..." Rei mused as he instinctively stretched his arms upwards and tried to stand up but he was greeted by his aching back. He grunted in pain as he hunched his back to lessen the pain that he felt. After enduring the throbbing pain, Rei slowly made his back straight as countless 'ka ka' sound could be heard. He released a satisfied sigh as he felt the pain fading away.

He also stretched his arms and legs as if he had done this countless of times before. After weird postures and groans, he finally made a satisfied smile and sat back on the chair. He took a deep breath and stabilized his breathing.

"What should I do now..."

Questions filled his head as he stared at the morning sky. His first plan was to improve his punching skill first by defeating the zombies but after scouring every floor and finding none, he quickly gave up on his first plan. As he was thinking of other ways to raising the level of his punching skill, a lightbulb suddenly exploded in his head.

His eyes shone brightly at the new idea that came to his mind, and he couldn't help but smile broadly. Rei immediately stood up and did a fighting posture that he saw in the commercials.

Left foot on the back of his right foot and knees slightly bent. Hands in front of his face, he tensed his whole body as he punched the air in front of him. He repeatedly continued to do this until he finally got out of breath.

"Did it work?" The gasping Rei asked to no one.

As soon as he said the question, he immediately wanted to punch himself for being stupid. He laughed bitterly at how overly excited he can get. 'I should have checked my status first...'

With a bitter smile, Rei quickly activated the box and chose the status option to see if this kind of practice would increase the skill's proficiency.

But before he could check the skills, he was greeted by two blue screens.

+3 Constitution

+1 Strength

A question mark hung over his head as he read the two blue screens that popped up when he checked his status. But it did not take long before he found out the reason on why he would gain the stats. His bitter smile turned into a wide smile as he thought about the possibilities of raising his stats.

But he quickly shook his head and focused his attention on the skill.

Punch (Passive) Level: 1 EXP: 82.32%

+1% Increase damage in punching.

+1% Increase speed in punching.

His heart pounded furiously, and his body trembled with excitement. 'If I remember correctly the previous EXP was 10%...'

"A few punches, and it's already in 80%. Don't tell me I'll become that guy?"

His eyes went wide at the current realization that popped up in his mind. But he quickly shook his head as if he doesn't want it and cursed loudly.

"Dammit, who wants to be bald?!"

With a light 'hmph' he closed the blue screen and continued punching. He quickly stood up and changed his posture into a fighting one and repeatedly punched the air.

Meanwhile, in the Empire of Alvaria.

Amelia continued to walk to the chamber of the second Elder. Many onlookers were stunned seeing the beautiful maid coming to see the second Elder, but Amelia paid them no heed as countless thoughts and situations appeared in her head.

One situation is where the King found out that she was the one who caused the accidental death of the Foreseer, and he punished her by banishing her from the kingdom.

Such thoughts made her alluring body quiver involuntarily as she made a resolute decision in her mind. 'If you banish me... Then I'll kill myself! If I cannot serve you then what purpose this life of mine have?'

One situation to another passed through her mind. If it were not for the two guards who saluted in front of her, then he would have likely hit the door with her head.

She quickly woke up from her thoughts as she heard the loud 'thump' of salute that the two guards gave. With a quick nod, she immediately told them about the order of the king.

One of the guards quickly knocked the door and within seconds a hoarse voice sounded inside the room. "Let her in."

The two guards immediately opened the door as Amelia strode off with confidence. The chamber of the second Elder was quite spacious and has a lot of decorations. Countless legends spread around about this mysterious Elder, who was always absent in public parties and events. Only the king and close confidantes of his know his true appearance.

Even for Amelia, it was his first time entering the mysterious chamber of the Second Elder. She had heard legends about the Second Elder, but like what she did to her mother, she paid it no mind as she did not believe the words of the people if she did not witness it for herself.

But seeing the decorations and countless treasures just laying on the floor it made her confirm that one of the legends is indeed true. That the Second Elder possessed countless treasures that would match the King's treasury.

She elegantly walked the red carpet that was filled with various designs and drawings. Seeing the red carpet made her curiosity piqued up about the meaning of the pictures.

There were also various vases and tables that have weird carvings and what made her most surprised is that they were all dusty! 'Do the Second Elder not care about his treasures?' She pondered about this question, but before she could delve deeper into it, she arrived at another door.
