' Nice '

' Alright let's logout, and rest for an hour or two before jumping in here, we need to keep your real body healthy, and fit as well. '

Logging out Axel found himself back in the poop, opening it up, and getting out he did some light stretching.

' Alright, hey wait a second, my body feels different. '

Checking in the mirror he found his body had in fact changed in a ery faint way. His reflection still looked like himself, but he was a little taller at least, and while he had a decent amount of muscle after all his training, and well eating he had even more now. His looks also received a decent upgrade, all his acne was gone, his skin was smooth, and had a healthy tan. His hair was glossy, and holding its form better. Not on;ly that, his eyes that were once green seemed to have a bluish tint, and a reddish tint at the same time, a strange color bordering on brown. His hair is a noticeable shade lighter than before.

' Well damn, I wasn't expecting this. '

' Your first dive should not have affected you this strongly. This must be due to the fel god, and how powerful her influence really is. '

' What do you mean? Why am I changing? '

' I briefly mentioned it before but the avatar we created, and then was changed by Sylvia is an exact reflection of your soul, meaning changes on the inside will affect the outside. So slowly you would look more, and more like your in gae self. Hence why we didn't change our looks too much. We just made you taller, stronger, and more handsome. '

' Oh yeah, you did mention that. WAIT!! '

' We have horns in the game, and other changes will be happening too according to her note! Will we have horns and stuff in real life as well?? '

' I don't know how long it will take but I'm sure we will. '

' I don't know if that's cool, or terrifying old man. '

' A little bit of both seems to be the most accurate response in my book. '

' I agree '

Finished with admiring himself in the mirror, Axel began all his stretches, working out any soreness, or stiffness he had gained from sitting still for five hours. The machine may have done some minor movements for him, but really moving was much better.

Finished with that, Axel began to eat a healthy meal consisting of chicken, broccoli, and rice. Seasoned to perfection, and stir fried for best texture. After eating Axel laid back down in the pod, strapped himself in and dived right back into the world of Alecstracia.

Opening his eyes, Axel found himself in an earthen cave, the smell of moss, and still water invaded his nostrils as he took in his surroundings. Moving forward he summoned his weapon, and what little of his armor he could have equipped. Journeying through the mossy cave had been relatively safe up to this point, but a warning from the older Axel forced Axel to focus.

' Be careful, the kobolds that inhabit this cave love traps. The scaly lizard fucks will hop on any oporotunity to kill, and eat you. '

On cue, Axel noticed a thin sting right ahead of his foot, Looking up a sharrpend tree log was hardly attached, just waiting to swing down, and fuck up anyboody dumb enough to trigger the trap. Steeping back, and to the side, Axel cut the wire sith his sword. The log swung down with haste, and an imaginable intent to murder. As axel had been smart he didnt get hit. However he could hear noise incoming. Steady soft growls, and clicks could be heard, as Axel prepared himself for his first real combat in this world. Sword at the ready he prepared for the first one to step through the opening, and swung. The blade mercialisly cleaved the first, and second scaly bastard in two, leaving just three who promptly screamed in alarm before rushing their enemy.

A razor shard maw of teeth closed in around Axel's wrist, however a black flame soon filled the little fuckers mouth burning the monster away with painful yelps. The last two elected to use their makeshift clubs to blugen Axel to death, however their expectations failed them as they saw their body fall over, and their heads continue to sail through the air unabated.

* Ding *

* Congratulations for reaching Level two! *

' This is too easy dude! '

' Well, we are in essence a cheat character at this moment, quit worrying about that and loot them, burn the bodies while you're at it for extra stats! '

A few burns later, and Axel collected a decent pile of small copper coins, which he pocketed in his inventory before checking his gains.

A deadpan look stretched his features, as aside from leveling up, and gaining some stats, and a new ability he had not gained anything from burning the kobolds.

' What a waste! '
