*Huff...*
Several hours had passed since midnight. Lucian, who had been practicing relentlessly, finally found his movements dulling under the inevitable pressure of exhaustion.
He tilted his head and looked at the sky, his face drenched in trickling sweat. The sky had begun to lose its darkness as the moon dipped below the horizon.
The sun was rising.
With heavy breaths, he collapsed on the ground and sat with the support of his trembling arms. Just as he was collecting his breath, a sharp note rang in his mind.
*Ding!*
Through his blurry vision, Lucian saw a system screen materializing right in front of his eyes.

Both his strength and endurance had improved significantly. However, Lucian knew that such a drastic change couldn't be possible overnight.
