{Are you okay Alex?}, said Sys as her voice is filled with worry.

"Yeah, I am okay why?", I said to Sys as I do push-ups for the 100th time.

{You have been doing this for the last 11 years now. Doing the usual training to increase your stats. Don't you find it boring to do it every day?}, said Sys as she worryingly tells me.

"Nope, I don't find it boring since I can still wait for the update of anime and manga. And besides, I have you as my friend to accompany me. You won't leave me right?", I said to her as I continue to do my push-ups.

{No Alex, I won't leave because I am your personal system to accommodate your needs}, said Sys as her voice is filled with pride.

I smile at her statement as I continue to do my push-ups. I still didn't bother to get other skills because it is just like my other skills, it will eventually level max. That will be too boring as you know I have too much time.

10 years had passed since I enjoyed the silence with Sys. I started to think about what should I do about my stay here on this planet (as I called the planet 'Apeiron' in Greek word for infinity).

There are also many changes as well in my life here on this planet. Starting with the house I lived in.

My house was pretty much the same from the inside to outside the house. Anything I break here at my house will mysteriously repair back to what it was. So except the forest and high tech vibe surrounding my house from trees and shrubs to robot and machine, There is nothing much change to my house.

I also change as well, my body is getting rip up I tell you. I have more muscles now than it should be. I look like those top bodybuilders in shape but much more powerful. I can even now lift 100 tons that would put the world record of my world to shame. That is the Gamer's body at work here.

I try posing my body in front of a mirror and flex my muscles and abs in the mirror every day. I level max my fool's act skill that way. Goddammit, I can't help it you know. Imagine yourself being alone in the bathroom and see your body being buffed up with muscles. Now I know why some bodybuilders like to pose, it gives them satisfaction.

--100 years--

It is now 111 years now since I came to this world. I have been getting immersed in my training since then. I still don't bother to get other skills. My body got a lot more rip up to the point that I look like Hulk except I don't have green-colored skin. I started to eat much more than it should be, I get to eat big bulks of food in one meal.

Speaking of meals, I don't know where the meats are coming from. They just magically appear in my refrigerator. I know for a fact that there is no living creature on this planet. It is hard to imagine how to eat meat without animals to get meat on. I tried searching the planet for them but to no avail. I tried asking Sys about it but she will always say `{It is the wonders of science and technology}`, which means she says 'It is classified'.

Anyways, life is getting harder. I am starting to feel my sense of time failing me. I get to sleep every three days apart even though I don't need to thanks to 'Gamers body'. I began to grind three days straight as it becomes harder to get stats.

I became so lost to grinding because I had to. It is getting boring every day, I need something to occupy my mind to at least lessen the boringness. If I haven't had 'Gamers mind', I might have lost my screws in the headlong ago.

I starting to become faster, smarter, stronger, and wiser as the years passed by. I can run fast nearly the speed of light; I have now photographic memory; I can now destroy plants in one hand, and I have good comprehension as I can make good decisions and choices like a sage living in a thousand years.

I have achieved all that in just 111 years of grinding but I still keep on grinding as I didn't have anything to do.

I still keep on tabs on updates in anime and manga to relax. Yes, I still immersed myself in anime and manga for years now. I still keep on tabs on video games but since my life became a video game itself I now have little time doing that.

It never gets old to watch and read it every day. The thing I like about anime and manga is about the imagination of the authors was inside it. It tells stories that make me immerse myself in it. As I immerse myself in the stories, I imagine myself to be the character themselves. I like it as it really portrays what some people want to be.'

As I thought those things, I am still reading my book about physics. As I finish reading, I immediately go to sleep.

"I wish those anime and manga are true.", I said to myself as I drifted off to sleep. I didn't know at that time, that my wish will come true in billion and billion years from now but my journey will be a long and lonesome one.

--500 years--

611 years have passed and I am still doing the usual thing except I started to become a little crazy as I am experimenting myself right now.

What I am experimenting? I am experimenting with my body. Why I am experimenting? It is because of the 'Gamers body' and especially the title 'The Loner'.

'The Loner' is a title achieve by being really truly alone with no living beings in the blank universe. It is the peak of all loners of loners. It is the epitome of being truly alone.

It is truly a fascinating and terrifying title to have as it grants immortality and ageless life. Again, I seriously have to thank my 'Gamers mind' ability. It is hard to imagine having an immortal and ageless body.

Sure, there are countless people who are in search of immortality and an ageless body. They may even kill if they could get it as history proves that but as for me I don't need such a thing. It is straight-up torture for me as I experience it myself for 500 years now.'

As I thought about those things I am now checking my body to know if I have aged even if it is one bit of it. Thanks to my enhanced eyesight, except for my muscle figure, I can see no signs of aging anywhere else in my body.

Next experiment, I will try to hurt myself. I tried cutting my hands and feet with a high tech laser. I focus my eyesight to the part where it was supposed to be cut but there is no sign of cutting even skin there is no cut.

I also tried cutting any parts of my body including 'My Stick' and 'My Infinity stones' in my lower half.

I also tried piercing every part of my body. The result is I can't pierce myself even with lasers.

I also tried jumping in a lava pool. At first, there is a sizzling pain all over my body but as I scream curses I manage to get a fire-resistance skill and I got to level maximize my fire resistance and pain resistance skill. Now I only feel a lukewarm and goey feeling in my body as I immerse myself in a lava pool.

As I got out of the lava pool, I notice I have 1 HP left as I check my status. I also notice a big change in my status. Strength and Vitality increase in stats exponentially.

As I check my stats, I suddenly got a revelation. I got a new way to grind my stats.
