Erik punched a tree, chipping away it's bark with each punch as his face remained stoic with a hint of pain. He had gotten over the Maniac phase after befriending and accepting himself as Erik.
After Accepting himself as Erik, a month has passed since that day, ten weeks have passed since He Reincarnated into Erik's body.
Over the last month, Erik's strength has skyrocketed to very high levels, previously, his mind was in a lot of pressure and trauma. Now, The pressure And trauma have not disappeared but their effects on him are still there but barely noticeable.
He continued punching the tree over and over again, his knuckles had gotten red but that haven't started to bleed out. He went over to a boulder by the side of the river and started punching it, his aim was to first make his skin durable and then make his bones stronger.
The first step had been completed a week ago and he has been punching the boulder for the past week. Punching the bark wasn't as painful as Punching the boulder, after all punching tree barks only creates small slices and scratches on the skin. Meanwhile rocks create many micro fractures on the fists.
Erik finished his Rock punching after his fists felt like they had been crushed by a hammer. He started kicking the rocks to create micro fractures on his leg bones and strengthen them.
After finishing his leg strengthening workout, he started to do pushups.
"Okay here we go... One... two.. three..." The pushups continued till 500 when his hands gave out under the load of his body. He starts out the pushups form zero once more till his body falls down again at 300.
After Pushups, he starts doing squats. His legs are stronger than his arms and chest. He managed to perform 1000 reps of squats, after which he had difficulty walking but still did rounds around his camp for half an hour till his body is finally depleted of stamina.
"These work outs are getting harder and harder every day." He comments before grabbing salted and died fish and cooking them on the campfire till they are warm enough for his liking.
"This tastes good..." He says after he bites the cooked and salted fish.
His body felt energetic after consuming the fish, he stretches his arms just for them to feel completely healed from just a few fishes.
"My metabolic Rate has increased to inhumane levels." He swings his legs and finds them completely absent of any soreness or muscle pain, his knuckles and Shins were not healed like his arms and legs, they needed something that contains higher amounts of calcium to heal, fish doesn't contain much calcium unless he starts eating the bones too.
"Time for Round two I guess." He says as he goes back to punching the trees to repeat the Training process over again.
