3. A Gym??

Getting up from his bed, Ryan left his room with an idea on how he can improve some of his stats. 'Since his physical stats are pretty low, they must be easier to improve than the mental stats.' Walking up to his Thelonious, Ryan stood there frozen for a second. 'Now that I'm in this new body, I should probably start referring to myself as Wells.' 

"Dad. Can you give me access to the guards train room? With everything going on, I feel it's best to go and blow off some steam instead of sitting in my room with my thoughts." Thelonious looks at his son and sighs. 'I've made the boy endure alot because of my position. I've seen the way the other kids look at him.' Thelonious reaches into a drawer and pulls out a keycard with a lanyard attached to it. "Here, use this keycard to open the door to the guards private training area. No one should be there at this hour so if anyone gives you trouble, let them know I approved of this." Grabbing the key card from his new dad's hands, Wells nodded to him and left their home trying to keep up the facade that he is upset about what happened today. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When walking through the hallways of the Ark, Wells stopped a guard on patrol to ask for directions. The guard was rude at first but quickly changed his attitude when he saw who it was. "Ah, sorry about that Wells. Everyones on edge today because of what happened with Jake." The guard gave a look of sadness that was all too familiar to Wells. "Yea, he was a good guy. I'm actually going to clear my head and was wondering if you can lead me to the guards training room." Wells made sure to look down when talking about the events today so he can garner sympathy with the guard. "Sure, just follow me." The guard says as he continues walking.

After a couple of minutes of walking, Wells and the guard arrived at a room secured with locks. "Just scan that keycard you showed me and the door will unlock itself." The guard left with these words and went back on patrol. Wells put the keycard to the scanner on the side of the door and watches all the locks click. Walking inside, he was greeted with what looked like a celebrities home gym. There was a smith machine, multiple benches, racks full of dumbbells, and a row of high tech looking treadmills. 

Wells looked around before deciding to warm up with a jog and see how much a 3 in [CON] really is. Wells hopped on the treadmill and set it to 6 mph. After about 5 minutes of running, Wells began to sweat and his breathing became heavier. Another minute passes and a system notification popped up causing Wells to lose focus and fall backwards on his ass. 

[-1 HP]

'Have to find a way to mute the system temporarily or that shit will get me killed.' Getting up from that embarrassing performance, Wells clicks on the notification that rudely interrupted his grind. 

[New skill unlocked: Running Lv 1]

[Running Lv 1: While running, your body will adapt faster to avoid mistakes while running. 

Effect: You get 1% less tired while running]

[New System Notification: Congratulations on your first skill in this life! We will leave you with a tip regarding skills. Each level in a skill equals a month of practicing that skill. This doesn't mean it'll take you a month to level up a skill. You will see later on what we mean. Ciao!]

Wells stood there with a huge grin on his face. Seeing his new skill, he hurriedly got back on the treadmill to start running. 'I'll run until i can level this skill up and see what the system meant about the levels equalling a month.' Setting the treadmill back to 6 mph, Wells starts his run and notices a slight difference. Every step felt as if he's done this everyday for the last month. He also felt that the way he lands has become easier on his feet. Setting a timer for 30 minutes on the treadmill, Wells ran while ignoring notifications. 

With the 30 minutes up, Wells got down from the treadmill to look at his progress. 

[Running Lv 4: While running, your body will adapt faster to avoid mistakes while running. 

Effect: You get 4% less tired while running] 

Looking at the updated skill, Wells can confirm that the effects change with an increase in level. He also felt more comfortable on the treadmill whenever he got a notification from the system about the [Running] skill leveling up. Wells decided that he had enough running for the day and walked towards the dumbbells. Picking up two 25 pound dumbbells, he began to curl them continuously. After 20 reps of curls, Wells got his second skill. 

[New skill unlocked: Weight Training lv 1]

[Weight Training lv 1: While lifting weights, you will find it easier to maintain a good form. Effect: When using weights to train, you have results 1% faster.] 

While reading about his new skill, Wells felt the effects of the skill changing his form already. Happy with what he has achieved in just under an hour, Wells looks around the room he will be in everyday for the next 11 months.
