This... This can not be!

"I- I wet the fucking bed. As a grown up..." I'm so fucking ashamed of myself. I woke up to find my pants down below to be soaked. And there I was the previous day announcing how I was old enough, strong enough to be independent to travel alone. Fuck, I'm going to store these sheets in my inventory and burn it later out in the woods. Yep. No one must know.

"Mr!~" Robin barged into the room without knocking. FUCK

...

Later that afternoon.

Robin and I sat on the grass, panting for breath. Each covered in unholy amounts of sweat. Ever since Robin had informed me of his intent to become stronger. We've been training on a daily basis. Nothing too extreme though, it's not like this world has dumbbells for me to utilize.

30 forward thrusts

30 side hops

10 push ups

20 sit ups

And then to top it off, we would run and sprint laps around the area. Now, I'm aware that this doesn't sound hard at all but, imagine you're walking towards the bus stop. You notice the bus is arriving, rather than running, you balls to the wall sprint for it. Even if you didn't exert yourself for long, you'll undoubtedly find yourself gasping for air.

"Mr, do you really have to leave?" 

"Yep, I have a lot on my list that needs to be crossed out. Now, be good and be healthy whilst I'm gone alright?" Robin nods. I reach out one hand towards him. He frowned but he returned my gesture. *High-five*

Brushing the dust off my ass, I immediately start to leave. I have no doubts that if I were to linger anymore than I have, sister Mary would try to get me to stay for lunch, then dinner, then the night, then breakfast and repeat. Now, I ain't no simp, but it's hard to decline when tears begin to drop.

I haven't levelled up at all. It's understandable though, I've only been killing level 5 vargs. It would make sense that low level mobs would no longer benefit me much. The 115 Stat seems to be because of my [Ring of Prodigious Power] And- Wait- A new skill!?

[Stealth]

Additional 20% stealth effect? But I already have [Hide] now? which from its description, almost sounds pretty absolute to me. Granted my opponents are within the skill's level range.

[Hide]

Oh, I see. [Stealth]'s +20% has increased Hide's 10 to 12. Now the only question I have left unanswered is, when did I obtain this skill? I'm pretty sure I've been faithful to Mel. Did I Loha give me this skill to help me with all those times I had to sneak away from camp to ahem* water the plants?

Anyways, next on my list. Power levelling! Either I find monsters around my level range to grind, or I test out the effectiveness of killing humans. Although I say humans, I should definitely try to keep my morals and hunt only criminals right? And also, I've seen multiple times in movies and series where the protagonist suffers from taking human life.

I can only pray that my mental strength will be greater.

Oh, although I desire to be faithful to Mel. I'm not ashamed to admit that I have come close to entertaining the idea of visiting brothels. I could become stronger by collecting literally a library's worth of skills right?

Damnit, me and my 21st century ideals and beliefs!

"Gods above, what should I do?"
