Chapter 10: Daily Quest
"Promise."
"Good, you should sleep early; tomorrow is the day of awakening, remember."
"Yes, mother."
Adam had a hesitating expression; however, Evelyn pulled him outside.
Aur sighed as he thought, "Well, now that this is out of the way, I can only wait for the next day."
He walked up to his room and just slept on the bed. This night was the most sound sleep for Aur as he felt a heavy burden that was always in his mind lift off him.
...
"Ava, wake up; it\'s your brother\'s awakening today."
"Coming, mom." Ava rubbed her eyes as she woke up from her bed and opened the door with a yawn; however, there was excitement coursing in her face.
The sun had just dawned, and it was very early in the morning while the sound of "hupp" came from the courtyard from time to time.
Aur positioned himself on the grassy floor smelling the fragrance of the morning dew as he placed his hands firmly on the ground, shoulder-width apart, and straightened his body from head to toe. He took a deep breath and lowered his body towards the ground.
As his chest touched the ground, he pushed his body up again while counting the numbers.
"One, two, three, ten, sixty...."
As Aur did his daily training, his muscles strained with every exercise; however, he didn\'t stop. Instead, his face turned to bliss.
Finally, after completing all the push-ups, he stood from the ground and enjoyed the dim warmth of the sun before he started to run again.
"Muscle system," Aur muttered to himself, and a blue panel flickered as it materialised in front of him.
–––––
[Muscle System]
[Name: Aur Cromwell/ Auriel]
[Talent: Future Seer]
[Muscle: 0.90](+)
[Blood and Qi: 0.77](+)
[Intelligence: 1]
[Stat Points: 4]
[Quest: Daily (running)]
–––––
Aur\'s eyes lit up when he saw his muscle had increased by a point again. On the previous day, he gained one extra stat point for the daily quest he completed, bringing his total stat points to four. Counting today\'s daily quest, it would be five points.
The only stat he had invested in after getting the system was his intelligence stat, as Aur was rather curious about it.
However, even when he maxed his intelligence stat to one (as he couldn\'t upgrade it anymore), he couldn\'t find anything changing in his body, so he decided not to care about it for the moment.
After maxing out his intelligence, Aur decided to focus on increasing his blood and Qi. However, it remained the smallest stats in his profile.
On the other hand, increasing his muscle was something he could achieve through training, and he genuinely enjoyed working on his physical fitness. So far, Aur had never used stat points to increase his muscle.
As for the future, he didn\'t have much information about it currently, as there was no context to guide him.
"Sigh, only time will tell..." he thought as he refocused on the quest.
[Quest: Daily]
- Run 31 km (30 km left)
- Push-ups 401 (complete)
- Squats 401 (incomplete)
- Plank 20 minutes (incomplete)
Although the Daily Quest difficulty had increased, Aur had grown stronger in proportion; it now only took him two hours to complete the task despite it being harder to complete.
"Brother, you are going to be late to your big day if you start training again..."
Aur heard his sister\'s voice, which made him stop from running.
"Alright," Aur said in a loud voice as he thought, "Sigh, I will train later."
He sprinted towards Ava in a moment\'s time.
The instant Ava saw him, she went for a hug and clung to his body, but then she hurriedly pinched her nose.
"Brother, you should wear new clothes; you are smelly."
"I guess so," Aur thought, speechless, as he walked towards the home.
"Here are your new clothes, son," Evelyn said as she handed him a black robe made of silk and a leather pant complementing it.
"This..." Aur\'s eyes widened when he saw this.
"Mother, this is too expensive."
"Don\'t worry; it\'s a must that a wizard has, and even if you can\'t become one, we can just sell this so you don\'t have to worry about it."
Aur still had a hesitating expression.
"You must wear it,\'\' Evelyn stared at him with her blue eyes.
"Alright, fine, fine." Aur could only helplessly say.
"It\'s your special day and something that will decide your future. You have to be careful, my son."
"Yes, I understand, mother." He nodded his head as he went towards his room. Although the house was relatively small, he had his own room with even a bathroom and a toilet.
Surprisingly, there was significant importance given to one\'s hygiene in this world. The advancements in this world could be compared to Aur\'s previous world. In fact, just this village was more advanced than his previous world. He could only imagine how advanced the places outside the village were.
....
Aur came out refreshed from the cold bath and looked at the clock on his wall.
"It is already six am now," he frowned, as the awakening ceremony would happen at eight am, leaving him with only two hours.
Aur quickly changed into his black robe, perfectly accustomed to his size the moment he wore it, and put on the leather pants. He then looked at the mirror.
Although his cheeks were still round and plump, and his facial features were average at most, in his black robe that perfectly fitted, revealing faint contours of his chiselled physique standing at the height of around 5 feet (152 cm), with his white hair all messed up from his bath, he looked like a young ruffian.
To some extent, he was still handsome due to his muscular build which greatly complemented his body and made him more handsome than he actually was.
