New experiences

The answer is the 'level decrease pills'.

The system said to take them at least 1 week apart, thus I consumed them in 2.5 months.

The reason for that is 'If you take your pills all at once, you will harm your soul and body permanently and at worst, you will be stuck at -10 forever, your only hope being a treatment of a god of healing'

I didn't want to wait till I got that treatment, as Anar'aya might help, but I have no trust in her.

On another note, the blessing she gave me is almost unsealed, the only sealed effect is the stat related one, as usual, but I don't use it at all.

Now, time to dip in my bath

"So you're really are taking a dip in an ice bath, though where is the sauna you speak of."

"Oh, hi mom"

"You're calmer than I thought, I remember your dad's mom saying how Peter was extremely embarrassed whenever she walked in on him being naked"

I saw my dad sneaking up on her and then he touched her back

"Kyaaa, Peter, what are you doing!?"

 "Sneaking up on my wife, do you have a problem with this, Mark"

"No"

"Why are you asking Mark instead of me about this?"

"I just want to mess with you for a bit, I can't?"

"You're sleeping on the floor today"

"Where did the couch go?"

"Mark will be sleeping there today"

""Shit""

"Finally, I can say my line…*Inhale* LANGUAGE!"

"Mom, do you want to try the ice bath"

"Sure, I've never tried it"

And mom went of to who knows where

"I envy your calmness in these kind of cases"

"But you're naked too, dad"

"When I was your age, my calmness was on vacation for two years already."

"Why was mom not embarrassed while seeing us naked?"

"Because she has seen the two of us naked a lot by now."

"Ok, now quickly hop into the bath, before it gets too warm"

"Sure, don't want to the bath to get heated up too much"

Oh, look, my mom returned

"Now, time to join you in your bath"

She walked to us and…

We pulled her into the bath, her whole body, not even her hair was spared

"WHY IS THE BATH SO COLD"

"It's an ice bath for a reason"

"BUT IT DOESN'T EXCUSE ITS COLD"

"It's exactly 0℃ here.

"Oh, yeah, then it's cold, how do you even endure this anyway?"

"We're men, we're meant to endure hardships"

"That's a valid point, when do you usually get up, I'm shivering already."

"Then get out, there is a shover nearby, get warm there and feel free to go."

"Ok, thanks for letting me try this out"

"No problem, you'll be doing this every weekend, so you should experience this joy now"

"UNDER WHAT LOGIC IS THIS JOY, THIS IS TORTURE."

"For you this might be torture, but once you get used to this, this will become a joyful thing."

"Mom, just leave us alone, we use this chance to get away from the city's noise and enjoy our quiet moments"

*Sigh* "Before you were born, Peter and I got the chance to go to the world's quietest room, I couldn't be there longer than 5 minutes while Peter spent there 1 full hour and asked for more.

The scientists at the scene were so baffled by this that they offered money for us and coupons to restaurants and a couple of amusement parks, just so that Peter would be there for as long as he could"

"Then I went in there for 6 hours and the only reason I left was that I was hungry, from that day I built the same room in our house, where I go time twice a week, I like the silence there, it's therapeutic"

"Fuck your therapy, that silence is torture"

""Language!""

It's so satisfying to pull an uno reverse card on mom.

"As I told you before, that word is copyrighted by me"

….

"Mom, don't say those kinds of things to introverts like us."

"Yeah, silence is almost like a best friend to us."

"Peter, don't join Mark in on this."

"If you don't like this, then leave us, we're doing this not for you, but for ourself."

"Dad is right, he said that this kind of bath help muscle recovery, so now I'm going to them almost daily"

"But a warm bath is more pleasant"

"Maria, darling, listen well to this and engrave this into your very memory: for men, rest and comfort can be quite dangerous, but we can survive difficulties that no woman could, because of our very nature…"

"…Rest and pleasure aren't as harmful for women, but they can't survive the difficulties we can. Women are emotional, that's a trait that's reserved for women and men who have grown in comfortable environments…"

"…Thus, 9 out of 10 times, women can't hold against the same kind of push men get from life, but because of this, our responsibilities are biggest. But sides are necessary for this world to function."

"I bet you crazies practiced this."

*Gasp* "Mom, how did you know this?!"

"No need to be so surprised, it was very obvious."

"Wifey, this isn't practice, but we have gotten so close after our training sessions, that we understand each other better that you us."

*Sigh* "I'll just stand in the warm shover and try to erase this cold."

<15 minute skip>

"Ok, time to go, 30 minutes are up"

"Mom, we're going to change, can you prepare scrambled eggs like usual."

"But you ate it yesterday"

Then I went over and hugged my mom and with puppy- ahem, cat eyes asked her with total, complete, innocence.

"Mom, can you make me scrambled eggs?"

"I'm totally doing this everyday if I get a hug from you, now kiss my cheek and the deal will be sealed."

I did as I was told and she went to

Moving on, time to go sleep and change.

I went to my bed and changed.

Then I hopped on my bed and started sleeping.

Sleep is so nice

[Indeed, it is]

*Snore*
