The Secret is Leaked

Fun fact, when my doctor did a scan of my heart, all he said 'was what the fuck am I looking at' and then he was shouted at by my mom for cursing in front of me, but later he explained the reason for that kind of explanation.

My heart was so strong, that it only belonged to professional runners and the like.

A/N: His stats are measured from the perspective of an avg. adult male. I say 'male' because female and male physiques are innately different. Also, this is before any mana, I must point it out since some call mc OP, but that is not the case, further explanation will be provided as you read, same for skills, they are ranked based on the current world state, meaning with extremely little mana, as such max power of a skill is really low.

My parents' business continued to expand and now it contains cars, motorcycles, clothes, shoes, clocks and streaming, plus they are expanding into the gaming industry as my father sees immense profit in it.

But he always says 'Don't play computer games, they will take half the man out of you'

He invests in games because he sees profit in it, he doesn't care for someone he doesn't even know exists.

My mom started ruling over 20% of their business.

She always complains about how it is so low, but my dad always replies with a firm 'I will never put a competent administrator to work as a mechanic.'

This shuts her up for a while, but then she complains about how little she ruling over and my father gave her a talk about how most women started to complain about how little they are getting paid, when in fact, they are getting paid these days the same as men.

But they continue to look at that top 1% of richest men that earn billions of dollars and of course, the average woman doesn't earn even a fraction of what those billionaires are earning, so they are still complaining.

After that talk, my dad told me about how women get more easily influenced by others due to sympathy and so on and then they drag men into that mess and America is the proof of the mess they made.

A/N: Fun fact, on one of my trips, I talked to a village man about these things and all he said is that this is nonsense and these youngsters will drag the world down with them. I'm sharing this view as I think that it would be interesting to see the replies to this.

If it's possible to leave a comment here, I haven't explored Meganovel that much, A/N ends.

 "Mark, the rest is over, time to start running "

"Os"

"Don't pull your karate habits into this"

"Understood"

"Now let's start running"

"But I'm still wet"

"Not my problem"

'Fuck you too, do you know how unpleasant it is to wear weights while being wet!?'

'I have noticed that I'm pretty neutral to things, when I taste something, it either tastes bad, or tastes good. Nothing more, nothing less, there is no need to further complicate this world.'

'Same is for when I'm seeing, feeling, and so on, except hearing, I'm quite picky with the songs I like.'

'For instrument learning, I'm now playing 3rd grade stuff, essentially the same things that someone who has been learning in a music school for 3 years would be playing'

'And I'm playing only classical pieces and when I ask my teacher why, she explains with 'you're playing classical pieces because you need a strong base for when you'll be playing other genres, classical music provides the strongest fundation for that'

'I can't argue with that as I haven't learned enough about music and I can't be bothered to.

I'm already learning about geometry, arithmetic, the four laws of newton and so on, adding music to my plate doesn't help me.'

My mom hired another teacher to teach me music history and the other necessary subjects about music, under the request of my guitar and piano teachers, so now all I have is 1 hour of free time per week.

'Kinda tough don't you think, but it is what it is, all good things always come with a price, strength, powerful physique, knowledge are amongst these things, though I don't consider pc games amongst this list.'

'They always make me distracted and I've never felt that much of an attraction for them anyway.' 

"Welcome home"

…

Why…

Why is…

Why is my mom here?

"I noticed a couple of months ago that a few towels were browner than they should be and after a closer inspection, that was dirt. Peter, care to explain to me that?"

'I always thought that my mom is very nice, I take my words back, she's the devil, her glare is the proof of that.'

"Mark asked me to also take him out on runs in the morning, now we've been doing this for almost 2 years now."

"And when do you wake him up?"

"He himself wakes up at 6am"

"A 5-YEAR-OLD SHOULD BE SLEEPING 10 HOURS A DAY, NOT 8!!"

"Where did you hear that?"

"I started reading books about children's psychology, anatomy, everything and while certain stuff doesn't apply to Mark, the anatomy part should apply to him quite well."

"He himself said that he can easily function on 6 hours a day, I need to teach him the danger of lies, so now I'm making him take responsibility for any sentence he says."

"But this doesn't excuse him not sleeping enough."

"Have you seen him perform badly in any of his lessons, competitions or anything else?"

"No?"

"He told me he can function on 6 hours a day, he's holding his promise quite well."

"From now on, I'm banning this morning run."

Ok, that's enough, if my morning run is taken away from me, I'll die of boredom.

"Mom"

"What is it, sweety?"

"I have a better solution."

"No, you wi-

Before my mom finished her sentence, dad interrupted her.

"Let's hear it, how bad can it be?"

"Since now I have gotten to the stage of being addicted to running in the morning, the moment I start to falter in anything else I'm doing, I won't go on runs anymore."

"What do you say Maria, that deal isn't bad."

"BUT HIS LEGS STILL HAVEN'T RECOVERED and how do you even remove and put on the leg's casing; you shouldn't be able to do that"

Both me and dad replied at the same time

""Magic""

*Sigh* "What am I going to do with you fools, ok, I agree, though I want to run with you as well, but only on weekends. If you can't agree to this, I'm not accepting the deal."

"Sure"

"Mom, I'm not sure you'll be able to keep up"

"How far could you be running and you're running with weights, so it shouldn't be that bad."

And then my dad told her straight to the face our running plan.

"We're running in the forest, barefoot, in places that there are no paths, a total of 20km, there we also stop by a lake to bathe, and we run back home"

"Fuck, can I take my words back?"

And then dad and me pulled an 'uno reverse card' on her.

""Language!""

"That is supposed to be my line!"

"But now we have taken it"

"But I can only run 3km at most. This will destroy my legs."

"Don't worry, we rest just as hard as we train, so you'll be fine after our resting routine"

"There is a routine for rest as well?"

'Now it's my time to shine, I told her our resting routine, sorry dad, but this part is mine.'

"After running, we spend 30 minutes in an ice bath, though we go to a sauna for a bit to not get a cold"

"YOU'RE BOTH OUT OF YOUR MIND."

"WE'RE BOTH USED TO THIS ALREADY"

"I'm going to a cold shower at most."

"Then feel free to not be able to walk for 2 days straight."

"I'm going to your bath, but no ice, just cold water."

"Ok, I wonder how she'll be running with us, dad?"

"You'll get to know the answer to that in 4 days' time."

And my mom ended the conversation

"Both of you, get home, do your thing while I go prepare breakfast, Peter, after breakfast you'll have a talk with me about Mark, Mark, feel free to do whatever you want after breakfast."

"Ok, mom"

And we went our separate way, dad and me to the bathroom, mom to the kitchen.

'You might be wondering how we are removing the casing on my legs.

The answer is simple: my dad has great mastery of a certain tool that can cut open the casing, thus we opened and then we got my leg out and my dad installed a mechanism that allowed me to easily to remove it and the mechanism was well hidden from sight.

Thus, I was able to train, though I didn't train if my hp fell by 20 or more.

The reason for that is the system, her warning to be precise, she said that if I train then, there is a good chance that I will get some damage that will take longer to heal than it should.

Now, you might think 'Mark, then what about the rejuvenation pills?'

The answer is that those pills aren't 'full recovery pills', but 'body/mind rejuvenation pills', they don't heal the damage I get due to training.

What they do is they remove all the accumulated fatigue and recover A BIT of damage, a by A BIT, I mean 3hp, though they increase my regeneration for 3 hours after consumption, so that helps.

And these pills only help me if I am level 1 or below, otherwise, their effect I halved until level 5, where it is nonexistent.

The next question you might be: why is my level negative?
