Gasping for breath, Ishida was nearly done with all the missions he had been assigned.

As he leaned over, trying to catch his breath, everything seemed so tough. It had been like this for the past few days, each one blending into the next with the same exhausting pattern.

Yet, somehow, he managed to stand up straight. "I can't give up. I must keep going. I need to get back at them!" he thought determinedly, pushing himself to keep running.

[Total Distance Ran : 10KM]

[You have completed Running 10KM]

At last, it was over...

Ishida sank to his knees, finally able to sit down and catch his breath.

A notification popped up: [You have completed the Daily Quest to Become Strong.]

[Rewards are ready. Do you want to accept them?] [Y/N]

"Rewards?" Ishida wondered as he stared at the screen for a moment. Without hesitation, he replied, "Yes!"

[The Following Rewards Are available:-]

Reward 1. Full Recovery of the current physical Condition.

Reward 2. Additional Stat Points - 5

Reward 3. Nichirin Blade ×1 - Lv.1 [Level Upgradable with time]

The moment the rewards appeared on the screen, a bluish glow enveloped Ishida, gently lifting him to his feet.

Within seconds, the aura disappeared, and he felt rejuvenated, as if all the exhaustion from his workouts and running had simply melted away.

"I feel so energized... I bet I could handle those tasks three or four more times!" he exclaimed. Then he paused and added, "Hold on... just because I said that doesn't mean I want to repeat the same task again!"

[Starting today, the real training to become stronger begins. Check your inventory to find the new item added.]

"Alright, let's open the inventory!" Ishida instructed. The screen shifted, revealing the familiar inventory screen, but this time there was a brand new item waiting for him.

Ishida gazed at the blade on the screen and reached out to touch it. As his fingers connected with the display, the screen flickered, and suddenly he could feel the real weight and shape of the blade in his hand.

The moment he picked it up, the blade began to shimmer, shifting its color from a shiny silver to a deep, dark black.
