Chapter 25...The City

My training didn't go smoothly, at least not according to my belief, I should be rocketing through the ranks and becoming a strong OP guy in no time, surrounded by beauties who fell in love with me for no reason.

But the reality was harsh, I was in the forest, living like a Caveman, inside a Cave, I and my loneliness were the only thing keeping me company. its been a month

I would start my day by doing exercises, then hunt as many strong beasts as I could find since the weak ones have lost their purpose, I haven't invested my skill points in any skill as that would make it so that I can beat my opponents faster, which in turn will cause me less strain and drain me less.

After I am done wrestling with the monsters in the deep parts of the forest, I return to my cave and start going through rigorous pushups, Benchpress, Deadlifts, and taking swinging boulders to my body head-on to feel the training settle in.

At the rate I am going, it's becoming redundant for me to practice this way, I only receive a stat point in Endurance after a four-day death training, plus a single stat point.

"And I am guessing that's also only because of [Genius]" I think to myself,

'What can be done to increase my power, I don't have any way of discovering a dungeon, or a mana zone, it seems I will have to fight against evolved magic beasts. So far I have been fighting Non-magical, Enchanted and magic-born beasts, and now that they are no threat to me, I can only train myself harder. Training doesn't necessarily mean I have to grind my body to a meat patty, it means to spar, fight and kill, to learn from my mistakes

[+1 to wisdom]

"Thanks, man!"

'It's decided, I will go to the nearby city and sell all the beasts I have killed, and then I will head over to get myself some weapons that interest me before I head off for the big ones...I could also go to the grand magic Zones to train but...I don't wanna risk it by being too overconfident'

[+1 to wisdom]

"Yea! thanks again"

my wisdom is the only thing that's increasing really, maybe because it's too low.

I don't know what else it can do for me besides the obvious, maybe because the Genius skill was said to make me cautious and that I will be able to spot lies...is that why it's increasing, because of a relation to my skill.

....

I slept for the night so that I can be at my bat tomorrow, to not cause suspicion, I will....hmmm! I already have enough money, I don't need to sell the corpses, let's just go to the city tomorrow for some relaxing time before I come back and him the stronger magical beasts.

Though I have to be careful or I might die

I didn't know it yet, but I had avoided a really big threat by doing so as the knights were still alert and any suspicious activity will trigger them.

The next day I woke up and stretched my legs, taking off my body weights and storing them in my inventory.

These weights were already useless as they don't even give me a challenge anymore. I just threw them back in my storage.

I took a small pouch and deposited some yul in it, in case I need to take out something on the spot, I also took a sack and put in some stuff to look discreet.

I mean, if someone asks me why I am roaming around the outside of the city with only my clothes on and nothing on me, what am I gonna say? I am a space magic user. Never!

Those bastards might still be looking for me, no way in hell am I gonna go ahead and act recklessly if I can do anything about it.

It was a city I had visited before when I was working with Leo and his brother as a spatial image.

Its better if they don't see me as well, I am not gonna trust anyone, I mean, why the hell did that man give me so much money, Suspicious!

I went around and found a fairly good barber shop that won't nick my overgrown hair,

the guy looked at me like I was some homeless kid,

"I need a hair cut" I told him, wasting no time as I handed him a the usual amount that's to be expected, plus a tip that lift his mood up like a gift on a bad day.

"Right away Sir, how would you like me to do it? I have a few replica here you can choose from" he then proceeded to go through a number of advantages of eachh hair style ,I didn't know it was this advanced.

A hair style is supposed to be simple, nothing complex,

I looked through the book and chose a hair style that I thought would look good on me.I finally decided on one, also had the guy dye my hair black.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction,I never really noticed it but now that I have grown and my recent increase in height,I look more like an adult.i am 160 I'm now.

My face now looks remarkably similar to that if Anos Voldigoads

'Man I really am a charmer,hahaha!'

I left the shop in a good mood and made my way for one of the nicer clothing shops, they even have people that can help result the suit you want to your desired sizes.

Ah! magic is so wonderous

*Ting Ting*

"Welcome! how may I help you" A girl arrived as she asked me, I told her I was looking for some simple clothing that will fit well for my new size.

and some clothes that would look grand enough in front of nobility as you don't know when you might need one.

Definitely not admitting that I really fell in love with the cool dragon imprinted overcoat that came with black shirt and baggy black trousers.

This weird combination stole my heart at first glance.I immediately changed my clothes and walked out after paying, Nope!

After that I headed for a weapons shop to look for any weapon that would be helpful to me, but came against some magic tools such as those that acted as smoke bombs, so I bought a bunch.

The guy also had some other weird shit like stink bombs and laughing bombs,I could see their use in battle so I bought some.

After shopping for some stuff that could be helpful such as some antidote and remedies and pills, I decided it was enough and looked for an inn to crash in.

Asking around I was referred to an inn that was newly opened and was cheaper,I went in and booked it for a night.

I was gonna leave in a while anyway,no need to stay or pay for more.i had training to do....maybe relax for a day or two.

"Maybe I should stay in the city and go out to hunt strong monsters from time to time, that way I can have a bed to sleep on and not have to be on alert on the time...its not like my usual training is working out anyway"

After a while I fell asleep, falling into the land of dreams.
