Chapter 6 - 4. I am becoming stronger

I drove home and said goodbye to my dad.

Luckily, I don't have to go to school today because of all this, so it's a great Friday. After lunch, I slowly went to complete the assignment, but even after an hour, my progress didn't accelerate and now I'm lying here on the floor, sweating and barely moving.

[Daily Task: Preparing to Become Powerful]

Push-ups 30/100

Sit-ups 11/100

Squats 0/100

Run 1,4/10 Km

Warning - failure to complete the task within the time limit will result in a penalty!!!

Time remaining: 11h 48m 14s

"Hey, is there no way the system can realistically finish this today?" I'm starting to get desperate to try this.

[Yes it is.]

[You're doing it again! Just tell me please and don't test my patience!] he's trying some morels again or he knows very well what I want and still plays with me.

[You have to specify this for next time... if the host had concentrated and thought, he would have realized that he is not using his statistics at all, that is, his quirks, which replace this form...]

I really didn't even consider it, you're right, if I had used it effectively I wouldn't be lying here all sweaty and tired right now

I started to focus on the energy inside me and tried to spread it to all points of my body, and again I felt that strange feeling, but not only that, I felt my muscle fibers, bones and even cells thickening and becoming stronger. Red lightning bolts began to form around my body and the fatigue disappeared at that moment and I felt stronger than ever before.

The task is now easy and the flow is smooth. It's really incredible I never thought I would ever be able to do this. I have never done so many push-ups so easily in my life, let alone the rest.

[Daily Task: Preparing to Become Powerful]

Now I just have to get outside for a run. Running is out of the question, I just have to try and ask.

I went to my mom in the living room. "Mom, can I go out? I had an agreement with the boys that we would go play," I asked with the biggest smile I could muster and it worked.

"You can, but are you sure that's a good idea when you experienced such severe pain this morning?"

"Yes, I'm sure, thank you very much! Bye." I turned on my heel and ran outside. I'm lucky that we have a forest around the house and I went there to finish my quest.

After about an hour, I really caught up. Hahaha I'm faster than Steve Rogers. I also learned during the run how energy is created in my body, so I don't have to worry about using it, great huh?

(flashback)

"Hey system, do you know how specifically I can create and expand my energy supply? By specifically, I mean in a specific way…" I won't catch myself again

[Yes, and thanks for the clarification. The host can expand their energy supply simply, either by developing quirks through level ups, completing quests, or sleeping, eating, and drinking]

"Really? Is it that easy?" I can't believe it, in that case I can just eat and I'll have an endless supply hahaha

[That's not how it works, sir, by fulfilling the body's basic needs, it supplies a minimum energy supply, at most you will restore daily consumption, but you will not expand the capacity of the core]

"Damn I knew it!"

(back to the present)

[Daily Quest: Preparing to Become Powerful - Congratulations on completing]

[Rewards: Status Restoration

Quirk enhancement

Random loot box ]

I used the restore even though I didn't need it that much, honestly if I was like Sung and didn't have quirks I wouldn't have been able to do it with him either. The quirks boost brought with it that wonderful warm feeling that he compared to a warm shower. Finally, the highlight of the evening was a random loot box

The moment I opened it, I was blinded by a strong light and a black, angular key flew out of the box.

[Instant Dungeon Key]

"Great, but I don't have any combat skills… I'll probably have to create some or at least get some kind of weapon." The dungeon is probably useless to me right now, but it will come in handy later and I don't really know what this world is like when I get home, I'll have to find out something.
