Entering The Game Again II

At this moment, Zen was sitting on his bed while Sera was on the sofa, lying down with the helmet on her head.

He had just finished bathing and was currently waiting for his hair to dry while scrolling through his phone.

A few minutes later, he found out that there were no new posts in the forums.

'Hmmm… it seems like there's no new information…'

In the next second, a thought came to his mind.

'It's also possible that the players will want to keep something they found for themselves. Yup, that makes sense. For sure, there are also others who have found something about the game.'

Zen believed that if their family has inside information about the game, then others will have it too. After all, even his family's information came from the government.

'It's even possible that their information is more detailed than ours…'

Thinking of the government, Zen could not help but become uneasy.

'Calm down, I have the advantage… I just need to keep being a step ahead of them.'

He breathed deeply, calming himself down in the process. What made him confident was the fact that he and his family knew that it was possible to gain power from the game.

Even if others knew of this fact, they did not have Zen's special condition which allowed him to confirm this suspicion.

And even if they knew, the things they could do were limited besides the fact that they would be able to prepare for it.

However, the main reason why Zen was confident was because of the fact that he had already started to gain power from the game.

And one needs to remember that he can fully use and bring the power of his character from the game in real life.

This meant that he would be able to learn more about the game and the kinds of power that he can gain from it. Besides, this will also allow him to protect his family more effectively.

Thinking this, Zen nodded and did not waste time any longer and stood up immediately.

He rubbed his head with a towel and picked up the helmet before lying down on his bed.

'I have 3 days. It's almost a week in the game. I must get stronger as fast as possible in a week. It may not be possible for others, but with my advantages, I'm sure I can do it.'

After setting a goal for himself, Zen wore the helmet and whispered, "Dive In."

The same familiar feeling of weightlessness assaulted his senses but this time, he did not feel dizzy at all.

It felt like a breeze to him now.

This was because of his monstrous constitution which made his body more sturdy and resistant.

Soon enough, his body materialized inside the game.

After waking up, the first thing he saw was the familiar ceiling of his room in the dilapidated building.

Then, he proceeded to go downstairs.

Arthur, who was calmly sitting in front of the table with a plate of bread and a glass of milk, heard his footsteps and shouted, "Oh, you're back!? Wanna eat something first!?"

Zen shouted in reply, "Later! I'm gonna train first!!"

'Hmmm, why is he in so much of a hurry? Well, he usually seemed to be in a hurry, but something feels different today.'

'I wonder what happened in his homeworld?'

'Meh, I can just ask him later. I'll finish this first.'

Arthur pondered before happily taking a bite of the bread and sipping a mouthful of milk from the glass.

He nodded in satisfaction and said,

"Yummy."

At this moment, Zen arrived at the training grounds located in the back of the dilapidated building.

Earlier, he was full of determination and motivation. However, now that he was about to begin training, he seemed to be at loss.

'Shit, I forgot…'

Looking at the training ground where he had been training in almost two weeks, he thought,

'I can't seem to increase my body's attributes purely through practice anymore…'

This problem was what made him feel at loss at the moment.

Zen's innate potential, coupled with the various buffs that his title, [Apprentice of Fire], gave him, his body's attributes soared quickly in the beginning.

However, as his attributes increased and reached a higher number, it was getting more and more difficult for him to further improve them.

At first, making the training harder solved the problem for him.

Running 10 laps in a 100 meter track filled with spikes while he had heavy sandbags strapped on his legs, doing push ups with one finger while carrying a huge boulder on his back, and other exercises done with a 'twist'.

But to his dismay, even if his training reached an inhumane degree, it only increased his attributes by one or two which seemed like a pitiful amount to him.

Of course, this was only the case for Zen. If Arthur were to hear his thoughts, then he would receive a good amount of beating from him.

'Let's stop worrying for now.'

Zen thought with a shake of his head, clearing the thoughts and worries in his head.

He decided that it would be better to do what he can and wait for Arthur to finish eating so he could consult him on what to do next.

'Yup, I'm going to warm up first. Hmmm, a thousand push ups seems good…'

After this thought came to him, he did not delay any longer and walked towards the training mat.

Although this training mat does not increase his stats any longer, he liked using it as a normal training mat.
