….

After these attributes were added, Alvin now felt stronger than ever. If what he read on the forums earlier were true, his current 17 points of strength will be approximately 340kg (749 lb)! Now, he was wondering how much of this strength will be fed back to his real body! But now he was experiencing the feeling of not being able control his strength.

He wanted to immediately return to his cave to train once again to utilize his newly acquired strength better. He figured that he would require some time before he would be able to get used to his new strength so he needed to complete this before the time for logout came.

Before he left, he placed his hands on the body of the Wind Wolf and activated his [Gathering Skill]! He collected 3 pieces of Wind Wolf meat and 4 pieces of Wind Wolf claws. After that, he immediately turned around and ran back to his abode at the beach.

A few minutes after Alvin left…

A few meters away from where the battle between him and the Wind Wolf happened, three figures had passed out and lying of the floor. They were the three strangers who were following Alvin.

"Erh…..?" the older girl was the first to wake up. She looked around her and found her two junior apprentice brothers also passed out on the floor. A confused expression could still be seen on her face, "What exactly happened?" she still couldn't understand what happened. One moment, she was about to act to save the boy who was about to be killed by the Wind Wolf then the next second she passed out.

The moment she thought about the young man, she abruptly stood up and looked at the place where the battle was happening previously but there was no one there. Both the young man and the beast were gone.

"Where did they go to?" She once again murmured to herself. She looked around for a few seconds but only found traces of the previous battle but no trace of the young man. Shaking her head, she looked at her two companions who were still lying there.

She walked over to them and nocked very hard on their heads, "wake up, you lazy bones! Haven't you slept enough? We've got to leave here…"

"Ouch, big sister, you didn't have to hit so hard!" waking up suddenly, the green haired boy touched his head and complained.

By this time, both of them were of their feet. They also looked around and asked, "What happened here! Where is that boy?"

"I also don't know. I woke up a few minutes ago only to realize that he was gone. We've got to return to the village to report this strange happening to father!" saying this, the young girl turned around and started walking away towards the east of the forest with the two boys following…

….

After getting to the beach, Alvin was still full of energy so he dropped everything and began to train.

"Force Fist!"

Alvin's both fists were just like two iron balls, the sound of the wind became more and more rapid.

Under the bright day light, the youngster's manner of movement, hard and ferociously powerful, and yet didn't fail to flowingly fit together.

After only practicing a few times... Alvin became aware something was fishy!

Even though according to his proficiency, he had already reached the peak of the first stage of this fist art, this was his first time actually training in it so he was a little jerky.

In terms of attack power, this fist art could be said to be very weak, but its strong point isn't attack but rather strength control. It trains the warrior on how to control his/her strength very well and exert the exact amount of power he/she wants to use.

This is why Alvin chose this fist art instead of his sword art to train his strength control. After realizing that there were faults in his regime, he read the instructions again.

"Let's try again."

Alvin focused his mind, carried out his fist art, and through the whole process it looked like moving clouds and flowing water, flowing smoothly. Movements that were previously difficult were unexpectedly so effortless.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "

In the middle of the day, the youngster's fist art began to blossom, every fist as if iron balls whistled, oppressive and frightening.

His whole body lifted layers of dust and as they fluttered around.

"Whoosh!!!"

Alvin stopped in place, hardly believing. It wasn't just his sword art practice speed that was monstrous, even his training in fist arts was amazingly fast, even though it couldn't be compared to his sword arts practice speed!

He checked his stamina and immediately used his newly acquired [Healing Skill]. This was also a way to train his proficiency in the healing skill since the more he uses it, the more his proficiency would increase.

Based on his memory, Alvin placed his hand over the area of the chest. He began to feel a ray of warmth coming from his palms as it began to spread to all parts of his body. His stamina quickly rose again. The stamina was recovering with such amazing speed.

He breathed in deeply and felt the effects of this skill. It was very good. Even better than he had expected.

After recovering his full stamina, he once again started to practice his strength control.

After training continuously for two hours, he became very hungry. So he stopped and entered the forest to hunt for his lunch.

He was able to find two Level 0 wild beasts which he killed and brought back. This kill added 10 more exp to his experience bar reaching 175/400.

After his lunch, he rested for about 10 minutes, then took out his sword and started to train in the [Basic Sword Arts].

Whilst he was busily training, a system notification suddenly rang in his ears.

[Ding! All players please note, the server will shut down after 10 minutes. All players should start to wind up various activities in preparation for logout!]

When he heard that, he stopped his practice and went inside his cave to load all the materials from his various kills into his system backpack.

Unlike other games, the time flow does not stop when players log out. Because of the different flow of time between the real world and here, by the time he logs in again in the evening, two days would have passed here. He needs to keep these materials which he could sell for money somewhere safe. He sat down in front of the cave and waited for the system shutdown.

[Ding! All players please note, the server will shut down after 1 minute. All players should start to wind up various activities in preparation for logout!]

A minute later, Alvin felt his vision suddenly black out! By the time he woke up again, he had returned to the real world!
