9 Limits

I had my meal in the cafeteria and it was different. It's not bad at all and weirdly it suited my taste. It's complicated. I went straight to the brewery after I finished my breakfast. I get there and look at the brewery and found it interesting. It was clean, and every machines were spotless even when they weren't used.

It was big. Atleast the size of a football field. It was compartmentalised according to the machines involved in the process. It's not considered big in terms of earth's terms. Its quiet small comparatively, for a small sized brewery. This room has state of the art advanced fermenters, hydrometer, airlocks.

I looked at the little cabin at the corner and went there to take a look. It seems it was the room a small observatory and an office perhaps. I can see instructions for everything, three recipes of three different wines including the most famous and most in demand in this brewery "the tipsy".

I would call it the perfect name for this wine because of the high alcohol content despite being a wine. It almost has the alcohol content of distilled brews. The I get to the most important part, tasting the wine. I took three bottles from the shelves and did the same for three wine glasses. First I poured the least famous of all "caster". It was less sweet, and has a sour after taste. The fruits used might not have had a good quality.

After a single sip I didn't drink it anymore. The second one called "cyclone" was much better than the first 'wine' I would like to call piss. This had somewhat of an even taste and a mellow after taste. It was sweeter and better than the last one but still it was meh. I'd give it a 5/10.

After cleansing my palate, I brought it to my nose and smelled its aroma. It Amy sound like a douche to some people but it's a fine way of tasting wine, it gives us an anticipation. And then finally, into the hole. It was good, very good and it might even reach top 20 of the best tasted wine in my life. But my life was quiet short, meh who cares.

I empty the full glass into my mouth slowly and that made me a little bit tipsy. God this wine is strong. Then I just sat there for like 1 hour. I don't know what happened, I just keep on imagining different methods I could do to improve the wine I just drunk. Even for the "the tipsy" I got some ideas I could make it improve. I think it's the wine grandmaster perk doing it's job. Noice.

But it's a problem for another day. The rest of the day I'm going to to settle myself here and get some exercise to push myself to see my limits. With that thought I went to the room that was assigned to Brawler but now it's mine.

I stood in front of the door and pilled the card out of my pocket and swiped it. The door opened and the scene made me go 'damn'. It was dirty, dusty, messy and most of all smelly. Damn, no one cleaned it in months it seems. It seems today is going to be a waste but I think it's enough to test my limits.

I fumbled around in the room and found a lot of the previous owners belongings. Hmm if I find something's useful, is it okay for me to keep it? Let's just do that, no one seemed to care to even clean it. Seeing this makes me a little sad inside. In my previous world, after my death, there would be my parents, my siblings and my friends crying for me. But in this world, I'm alone. No family, no friends, no one would care even if I died this second.

I looked around the room, I don't know I'm feeling sad because I felt lonely or is it because I have to clean this room all by myself. There were designated machines for cleaning everything in the winery but here I have to do everything manually.

I went further and found another room. It was a big space, in it were a lot of equipments for muscle exercise(weights) and aerobic exercise(cardio). It was dirty too. The only bright side is, as if they expected a cleaner to come here they arranged a total cleaning set here ready. 'Ahh, this is going to be a long day'.

*5 Hours Later*

OMG, cleaning the entire area made walk like a zombie after finishing it. I didn't even have the strength to test out my body condition conventionally. If I have to say by the amount of work I have done, In my previous life I would have collapsed at the 3 hour mark. But now I could do it for 5 hours, it's all just a guess but I'm sure that my physique is way better than what I had in my previous life.

I took a bath cuter all that cleaning and went to the cafeteria looking tired. I just get myself full and got out there and reached 'my' newly cleaned room. I jumped onto the bed. 'Wow, it's more comfortable than the one in y apartment'. It seems I would have to stay here longer for 'research' purposes.

I didn't know I wanted to sleep this much. I just closed my eyes and drifted to the beautiful dreamland.

*3rd POV*

Some time ago….

Somewhere in a far away galaxy….

There was a blue planet, third in the orbit, revolved around the brilliant sun.

(Earth, obviously)

There stood a women, who was bald, on top of the temple who over looked the disciples who were training. Some were doing physical training and some were doing magical training. Each did their training efficiently and with full dedication.

Suddenly she felt something wrong in her chest. She looked down and analysed it for sometime and looked at the sky again and said,

"A disturbance in the force there is-.." -sorry wrong hermit.

"I see a new variables in time line. I hope it's for the good."

Usually she is not the type to not research about the problem. However the problem was she couldn't find the thing that was causing those new variables. She could only hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

"Oh well, I can't do anything about it anyway, I'll just select some local victims to act mysterious."

*Justin POV*

I woke up from my sleep a little refreshed. I look at the clock and it was 3:30 am.

"It's quiet early to be waking up but I don't think I can go to sleep again. Ah, let's just do what I was planning to do yesterday."

I planned to test my limits of my new physique and acquire data for future reference. I get up from the bed head to the bathroom finish my morning routine. After that I ate some fruits I bought from the cafeteria.

'Hmm, what should I wear?' I then looked around and found some cleaned clothes of the previous owner. Should I wear a dead guys dress? I'm in a moral dilemma. I washed them yesterday. So it shouldn't be a problem right?

Yeah who cares, the only thing I should care about is, if the dress would fit me or not.

I then tried them out, it was one size bigger for me but hey, it's free. I just wore a shorts and shoes and went to the gym.

I straight away went to the treadmill or running machine. I want to test my speed, stamina, breath capacity and stress on my body due to longer workout.

After 1 hour and 30 minutes I stopped the machine and got down from it.

Then tried the dead lift, squat and bench press.

My statistics are as follows,

The highest speed I could run was about 60 km/hr (37 mi/hr).

The longest speed I could maintain for 1 hour on the treadmill is about 47 km/hr (29 mi/hr).

The highest bench press I could lift was 400 kg (881 lbs) and it was very tough for me to do it.

The highest squats I could lift was 520kg (1146lbs). And to adjust it because, I became over confident after my bench press and started at 300 kg

The highest dead lift was 600 kg (1322 lbs). I could try more but the pain from squats stopped me from doing it.

I am pretty happy with the results. I couldn't believe I am the one doing this. Reality just pricked me with a fine needle to keep us in check by bringing out my memory of what kind of world I'm in. This kind of strength would have been awesome in my previous world but here it's not worth mentioning. Oh come on, every race is better than human race in physique wise. Sigh.., I gotta stop complaining and start doing some workout.
