Effort + Laziness = Rewards

"Maybe I'm going crazy," thought Mateus. Who can judge him? Perhaps everything he just experienced is the result of sleep deprivation. So, tired of everything that happened during the day and realizing it was already midnight, he decides to rest.

After a good night's sleep, Mateus overcomes laziness and decides to get up. As he gets up and stretches, Mateus hears a sound inside his head.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host! You defeated the unwillingness to get up and managed to get up right away! Such an act is worthy of reward! Your reward: Accelerated development. You can check your stats just by thinking about opening them."

"So, is this thing real? Holy God, only You know what I'm going to do with this system," Mateus says with a bizarre smile. "By the way, what will my stats be? Open stats." "Certainly:

Mateus Santos, 17 years old.

Intelligence: 7 (common human 5). Charisma: 4 (common human 5).

Beauty: 5 (common human 5).

Strength: 4 (common human 5).

Agility: 3 (common human 5).

Vitality: 3 (common human 5).

Magical Capacity: 1 (common human 0). Abilities: Accelerated Development. This ability has three uses: Training, Leveling, and Passive."

"..." Mateus has no words to describe what he's feeling because he just gained a quite powerful ability. "Indeed, an ability of this level befits the system. I can become strong by doing nothing. But looking at my stats, I realized I'm weaker than I thought, below average in strength, agility, and vitality? It's tough this way." Mateus feels sad about his low physical achievements.

"But looking on the bright side, I have quite a bit of intelligence, don't I? I think I can use that aligned with this amazing system."

While getting excited, Mateus thinks of a possibility and asks the system.

"Hey, system."

"Hi, host."

"With this ability I gained, I can increase my stats faster, right? So, if I do physical or mental exercises, will it increase the stats?" "Yes, host."

"Time to exercise then." With a smile on his face, Mateus prepares to go for a run and do morning exercises.

"I think this is the first time in years that I'm going to make so much physical effort." Mateus hasn't even started exercising, and he already feels strange. Nevertheless, he resolves to do it and decides to take a walk, stopping at any outdoor gym he finds on the way.

"Phew," Mateus lets out a relieved sigh after finishing his run and morning exercises and returning to his apartment.

"Now, let's see how my progress was in relation to today's training. Open stats." "Certainly:

Mateus Santos, 17 years old.

Intelligence: 7.

Charisma: 4.

Beauty: 5.

Strength: 4.

Agility: 4.

Vitality: 4.

Magical Capacity: 1.

"So only my vitality and agility changed by 1 point?" Thoughtful, Mateus has a new idea.

"And if I read books? Will my intelligence increase?" Normally, this is a silly question, but since he has a system and an ability that can increase his stats, this question doesn't seem so silly.

"So, let's do it." Grabbing a book on economics, Mateus starts learning a bit of this useful subject.

After finishing the book, Mateus saw that his intelligence stats increased by one. So, he tried picking up a math book from his school and started reading it.

"So, the stats don't increase if it's something I already know." After reading all the information he already knew, Mateus realized that if it's knowledge he already has, it won't increase his stats. After making the great effort to exercise and try to learn something new, Mateus hears a sound that will surely be very familiar to him in the future. "Ding."
