Lost In Time — Part 2.
The space suddenly became dark and got lit up once again with what look like a grey glossy stone with its edges having a shade of burnt orange. And from the sky, fell a heap of wooden swords. "Oh, just you know, the heap is unending. No matter how much you take from it, it mysteriously gets filled up once again and for an additional information, I will make sure that you get no rest, deal?" it broke the sudden silence while showing off its sinister smirk.
"Perfect, let's fill those endurance and strength bars." Zyl replied with full confidence, "no, let's break those bars." It corrected his statement and so did the hellish training Zyl engaged himself in that caused him to get lost in time, began.
His schedule was like: whack the wood on the pillar for about ten thousand times, run for a kilometre, of course, at this time, he should be dead but his vitality suddenly gets replenished while having same strength to carry out the rest of exercise.
Swimming around in a pool filled with cold icy water and ice that gets it's temperature hit below negative one and below for an hour or two, same will it be for him to get in a room filled with fluorine, pure untouched fluorine.
Oh of course, due to his ability, extreme adaptability, he needs to get used to being burnt alive, almost being killed by both poisonous, corrosive, explosive and toxic materials, either gas, liquid, solid, plasma and radiation with a touch of being able to endure pain.
Like an immortal, he was cursed to have his vitality fixed up once he is close to death while having an unchanged body condition. After doing all that, he gets into meditation to have a clear mind and a sharper mental fortification and functioning and yes, he repeats his training again, over and over.
For his weaponry exercise, he starts of with ten thousand slashes, then, ten thousand stabs, with the use of the flat side or the 'filler' if compared to a real sword, to practice ten thousand hits and with a bow an arrow, in which it's arrow head is wooden as well, he practices ten thousand pierce attacks.
He also practices his pierces with wooden spears, heavy hits with wooden halberds and with bare Knuckles, switching to martial arts, he practices his punches, bare knees, bare foot, bare shin, bare elbows and head.
He as well practices his knee kicks, both high and low. So does he with his foot kicks, shin kicks, elbow strikes and head-butts. After what feels like months, he starts making dents on the pillar but by then, he is already bathing in negative degree water with a touch of deep sea pressure.
Being cooked alive with burning coal under him and falling from heights and having intense races with mutated cheetahs. More months later, the pillar is having cuts, cracks and imprints while being burnt alive and being under poisonous liquid while holding his breath. This time around, he is able to do a sky dive with no parachute and racing the cheetah with weights on him.
Now years, more like two centuries passing, he was able to achieve making holes on the pillars and slashing it in half as well as improving his endurance, running faster than usual, improving his resistance to poisonous gases, liquids and mastering how to cause damages using weapons with blunt edges.
He also went through pain resistance trainings, such as having his bones broken, over and over again. His spines, joints, fibres that were torn apart, then, he finally went through electrical discharges, gravitational forces and even the pain of being torn apart in half and able to master his abilities to the point of being able to manipulate it to look like he has no abilities as such, all with the help of mental fortification, a calm mind, ridiculous training and meditation.
For a human, he seemed perfect, more like the peak evolution in which humans were meant to achieve in thousands of years to come. As he was done slashing down his ten thousandth pillar, the mysterious being was able to finally put a stop to the years of silence that was only filled with grunts and screams that were made by Zyl, with a cough. Being able to catch Zyl's attention, it went on to say,
"now, I will render onto you, the basic knowledge. Call out your status." Zyl obeyed the being's order and called out his status and before him appeared a gold plane hologram that displayed his status and on it was written;

........................
"Woah, legendary rank? I was able to achieve legendary rank?" Zyl was surprised and excited at this shocking reveal. "Indeed, you are assured to reach to the peak of both the human realm and the god realm as your potential, through your status, was decided assured.
Now for further explanations, your extreme adaptability has increased to the highest rank ever, so, if there is anything new, you will be able to master it in a matter of days, so through this ability, I will advise you, if you get stuck in any spiritual exposure, don't break free, just stay there and master it's resistance as well, in order for your soul to achieve invincibility (god rank) as well as resistance and personal force to reach (god rank).
As for weapon mastery, of course, that is self explanatory. You have been training for probably, three centuries or so but it's more like three years have passed in your time...."
"Huh!!? Three whole years? I thought you could pause time!" Zyl complained as he couldn't comprehend the time flow. "Hahaha of course I can but It's just funny on how to you, it felt like days but it seems like you got used to this realm's time....." the mysterious being continued with its explanations.
".....Anyways.....(clearly avoiding self explanation on why he didn't stop time.)... Resistance is of course, self explanatory but as for Personal Force, it has to do with how you can now exert extraordinary forces, such as: aura, gravity, electricity, heat, cold as well as plain pressure.
Of course, with such type of training that you went through, you should be invincible, that's why you have the unwavering body as a skill. Luckily, with the help of the meditations and controls, you were able to achieve the ability control and the system modified it in two ways: the numerical form and the emotional form.
Of course, the numerical form would be way better to know how much of the ability you are to put out but the existence of the emotional form has a secret purpose, which is; for you to be able to surpass your limits, as one can go crazy at anytime."
"By the way, why don't I have any mana, nor energy? And if I'm not mistaken, creating a separate realm has to be a magical action or something done with energetic powers." Zyl asked as he can't wait to go in training for both magic and esper energy. "I guess you caught me. Well, why I suddenly stopped you and start having this weird conversation with you is to actually tell you that ... It's time.
It's time to let you go. This is my limit and the rest of the gods' might actually catch a glimpse of a sudden distortion in the god realm. So, this is an assignment or more like a mission, which is, learn magic yourself, as well as esper energy and one last thing, make sure you reach god rank, okay?" the mysterious being let out it's satisfaction, it's worries and it's expectations and with that, Zyl knew that for real, it's time to relive a second chanced life.
With a huge sigh, Zyl replies and demonstrated a bow which was filled with full submission and gratitude, "Alright master, thanks for your years of guidance and don't worry, I will fill your expectations as your abused disciple and show off my superb skills."
"Bruh." Out of disbelief, the mysterious being got into a stalemate but got back into saying out it's last message, "Anyways, there are people who have been looking for you for three years now and they, of course, are hostile but they are not in search of your death, so, let's just say, don't resist and instead, learn magic and esper energy from them, with their techniques, as well as that of aura techniques and weaponry techniques."
"Huh? What do you me....." before Zyl could finish his statement, a clap with a loud sound effect could be heard and the mysterious beings last message to Zyl were, "have fun." In that instant, Zyl dropped down naked from the ceiling in a recognizable public space, cafe eleven, which of course, grabbed the attention of everyone towards him ........ and his jun..... face!!! At that moment, some men in black suits barged in and held Zyl at gunpoint, "sheesh, are you sure you guys are not in search of my death?"
[Back at the mysterious being's realm]
"Margret, it seems that you are up to something once again. You better tell us what that is." A shadowy figure commented. "Good timing guys, I'm thinking we should release the rest of the monsters, my powers are getting weary now." The mysterious being, named Margret turned and replied with a huge smile, yes, only her smile was visible.
"Hmph, come on guys, we were overthinking again. All I can see here are piles of novels those humans made." Another shadowy figure commented. "Come on, don't speak like we weren't once humans." Margret pprotested
"Yeah yeah, enough now. Margret, get your consciousness back into your main body or do you want us to force you?" the third shadowy figure threatened. "Fine fine, I get it. You guys are no fun." Margaret replied with a pout.
"That's the whole point, you have a different definition of fun. Now back to your chains." Said the fourth shadowy figure. "Can't you guys see that she actually wants us to put her back to her place and I've been hungry for some action." The third shadowy figure suggested.
With a loud echo, filled with radiative shockwaves, Margret replied, "Alright, I get it." And then, she disappeared. "Are you sure her powers are being drained? Or what I just saw was domineering despite it being just one-third of her soul?" The fourth shadowy figure asked in panic.
"Indeed, it will be a hassle to battle her again and of course, we can't even defeat her with us four. Come on guys, let's just ride on dirty." The first shadowy figure commented.
In what seem like a dark hall, a figure could be seen floating in the middle and it was chained up with shackles on the wrists and ankles while the chains extended up to who knows where, as it seemed endless. Then, a comment was made from the figure, "for real, you guys are no fun. I hope Zyl is actually different. Ah, I guess I'll wait for a little while."
