Completing the quest
Daimen went to the backyard and got into position on the floor, preparing himself to do push-ups.
He placed his hands firmly on the ground, shoulder-width apart, and extended his legs behind him.
With a deep breath, he began to lower himself down, keeping his back straight and his core engaged.
He pushed back up with a burst of energy, repeating the motion again and again, feeling his chest and arms working hard with each repetition.
After 20 pushups, his hands and back started to ache, and he realized his body was still weak and couldn't handle all of it at once.
He stopped doing pushups and got up to grab a glass of water to quench his thirst and catch his breath. After gulping down the whole glass of water, he started doing push ups again, taking small intervals between every 20 pushups.
[Push Ups: 100/100]
[Time Remaining: 18:34:00]
After completing 100 pushups, he was out of breath and his body was in pain, but he was determined to complete the quest and avoid the penalty.
He stood up and took a deep breath before proceeding to do squats. He stood with his feet shoulder-width apart and his hands clasped in front of him.
He lowered himself down, bending his knees and keeping his back straight, before rising back up again, feeling the burn in his thighs and glutes with each repetition.
After every 20 squats, he took a small break and continue doing it until he completed all 100 squats.
As he looked at the system, he realised he didn't have that much time remaining.
He jolted and hurriedly stood up, as he didn't have much time left for his remaining exercises.
Damien was determined to do 100 sit-ups, but his small body was struggling to keep up with the challenge. He lay down on the floor, his legs bent and his arms crossed over his chest.
With a deep breath, he began the first set of sit-ups, lifting his upper body off the ground and touching his elbows to his knees. After just a few repetitions, his abs started
to ache, and his breathing became laboured. Despite the discomfort, Damien refused to give up.
He took a short break after every 20 sit-ups, allowing his body to recover before starting the next set.
As he pushed himself to continue, his small frame trembled with effort, and sweat dripped down his forehead.
But he gritted his teeth and kept going, determined to finish the challenge he had set for himself.
With each set, the sit-ups became more and more difficult. His body protested as he pushed himself to keep going, but Damien refused to give up.
He took short breaks to catch his breath and rest his aching muscles but always returned to the task at hand, determined to reach his goal.
[Sit Ups: 100/100]
[Time Remaining:14:50:36]
As he finally completed the last sit-up, Damien collapsed onto his back, gasping for breath, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment. After completing the sit-ups with great difficulty, he had only one more training left to do — run 10km.
Daimen stood up, walked outside of his house, and walked towards a narrow, uneven road that circled the whole village. It was nighttime, and the moonlight fell on him. As he started running around the whole village, sweat trickled down his nape, and he kept running with a determined look on his face.
As he kept going on and on, he lost track of time, and he didn't know how many kilometres he had covered. His lips were dry, and he bit them as he kept running. Despite falling many times, he kept going.
As he continued running, Damien lost track of time and didn't know how far he had gone. His lips became dry and he bit them to keep going.
Night fell, but Damien persevered through the darkness and into the morning. Despite falling many times, he kept pushing himself forward.
Finally, as the first rays of sun hit his face, he heard a notification sound from the system. He had completed the quest.
Exhausted but elated, he checked the screen and collapsed in front of the entrance to his village, a smile on his face

*groan*
Daimen woke up as sunlight hit his eyes, making them scrunch up. He tried to get his hands to his eyes to cover them but his hands didn't move.
His whole body was in pain. As he looked around the room he found out that he was lying on his bed with bandages around his legs. It seems like he has pushed himself above the limit and he is facing consequences now.
With a sigh he layed and he looked at the translucent screen that had popped up.

[Congratulations Host, for completing the Quest]
He felt his awareness and sense increasing as strength coursed through his veins. He tried to move his hands again; he could move it, though it still hurt. He wasn't bothered by it as he has gained a bit more strength.
He knew how dangerous this world was, the present him could not even hold a candle to the top powerhouses of this universe, as certain people out there can literally destroy the solar system with just a simple punch.
He sighed and remembered the likes of Guy Crimson and Milim. They are in their own leagues.
He sighed and thought 'status'.

Seeing his stats going up he felt accomplished. He pumped his fist up in the air. Even though he knew this was nothing, he was happy. Sure, it will take time to become the strongest but he knows he will eventually end up there as his powers are basically broken.
As Damien engrossed in his gains he didn't notice that the door opened and his mother was looking at him like she was looking at a madman.
She'd found him seriously injured near the doorstep. She took the porridge she cooked on the table and sneakily made her way towards Damien as he was blankly staring at the roof with a pumped fist.
"Damien~~, sweetie, what are you doing?" she whispered in his ear, making him jump. Well, as soon as he did that he regretted it, his whole body was in pain.
He screamed on top of his lungs "ARGHHHH!"
As he wriggled around on the bed with agony.
His mother looked at him with a concerned look and held his shoulder as soon as she did. She regretted her move as Daimen yelled again but with more pain "NOOO, not there mom!"
"Oops~, sorry dear, teehee." She stuck her tongue out, his eyes crinkling into a smile. She got up and went to the table to get the still hot porridge and walked to his bed.
"Sweetie, say aah~~" She blew on the hot porridge since it was hot.
Daimen reluctantly opened his mouth, his mother was boring her eyes at him. If he doesn't eat it he's gonna regret it.
As soon as he ate it, a refreshment washed over his body as his mouth savoured the taste. It was too delicious for even a simple food such as porridge. He looked at his mother who was smiling at him and thought 'is she a Goddess of cooking or something?'
As if catching what was going on in Damien's mind, her smile broadened as she looked at Damien with a glimmer in her eyes and asked "Did my little boy like his mother's cooking so much?"
Damien couldn't look at her, a blinding light was emitting through her eyes, it looked like holy light was calling him to heaven, he was finally going to heaven with an "Amen" he started to ascend to heaven 'Here I come Big G'
Daimen's mother looked at him expecting a reply but it seemed like he was lost in his own world. She closed her eyes and looked at the bowl of porridge with disappointment.
She thought he didn't like it.
As soon as Damien's mother closed her eyes, he was brought back to reality and started to look around. He was ascending to heaven and then suddenly that holy light disappeared making him fall. Enough BS.
Damien looked at his mother who was looking at the bowl with disappointment "Mom, what happened? Why do you look disappointed?"
Damien's mother looked at him "My little boy doesn't like his mother's cooking *sniff* *sniff*"
She started bawling her eyes out as Damien panicked. When did he say he didn't like her food? She even made a simple porridge that can be compared to 5 stars restaurants from his previous life! He fucking loved it!
He looked at his mother and smiled, "Mom, it's the most delicious porridge that I've ever eaten," he meant it.
When she heard it she immediately stopped crying and looked at Damien with starry eyes.
"Really?!"
"U-huh, U-huh," Damien nodded.
His mother took him into her bosom and smiled. It seems like Damien really liked her cooking!
With this going on they both forgot how Damien was injured so much and how he got home from the village entrance.
Damien's mother stood up, "Wait here sweetie, I'll make you a delicious dinner!"
With determination, she left Daimen's room and rushed to the kitchen to make something.
Damien sighed as he laid back down on the bed.
What Damien didn't know was that his life will be turned upside down pretty soon, he better enjoy the present as he doesn't know what the future holds.
