Living In A Dream World

Chapter 4 - Intensive Training

"Ok I guess it can't be helped then."

"Is it possible to start training while I'm in here?"

[As you are now it's not possible. But you can buy a body refinement technique from the system store that would allow you to train your body without lifting a finger.]

"Is it affordable?"

[Yes it costs 500 SP.]

"Then buy it please."

[As you wish.]

[Ding. You received "Basic Body Refinement Technique".]

I felt dizzy for a moment as my brain received the information about the technique. But it was worth it. I got really excited reading the description, because using it does not only refine my body but it also lets me practice my energy control

I started a training session. It took me around 15 minutes. Although it was not very hard to do it also wasn't easy. To refine your body you have to push energy carefully through every part of your body. As a result my muscles got stronger, my tendons got more tough and flexible than before, my bones hardened and my blood flow increased.

[Congratulations for succeeding in your trainings session.]

"Wow isn't that OP? What's the average strength of a human?"

[The average strength of humans without any magic power or other forms of energy is about 0.8 per stat. For demons it's 1.1 per stat.]

"That's so f****** weak! Wouldn't I be the strongest demon on the planet the moment I was born?"

[Not quite. That only works for the people without magic power who make up about 80% of the population. The remaining 20% are made up of people who can use magic, but their strength differs extremely. If you want to be a magician you have to train your body otherwise you would be stuck with the lowest level spells for the rest of your life. Even for the use of medium level spells your body stats have to be at least above 120. The required body strength for high level spells exceeds 1000 and that's not even the highest spell tier.]

"I guess I underestimated this world a little bit too much."

After I cleared my doubts I started training again. After doing this routine for a few times I got tired and went to sleep. I repeated this every day until I got too tired to carry on. With time my training sessions got shorter and shorter and I managed to do a lot more of them than in the beginning.

250 days later…

"My body grew by a lot. I think it's almost time.

"Ed please show me my status."

[No problem.]
