Chapter 5: (1): Season 1 – Preparation

Chapter 5: (1): Season 1 – Preparation

Some time ago. In the past.

Hyun-seok decided to focus on increasing his stamina. Stamina was a stat that had an overall impact on his abilities, and even though it wasnt necessarily a stat, he was feeling the absence of physical energy which was slightly different from exercise stamina in his body. Therefore, he decided to do something good for his body, like having a regular lifestyle and drinking Buckminsters liquid juice.

A regular lifestyle and Buckminsters liquid juice should do the trick for now.

He knew that his stamina had decreased due to excessive sexual activities. So, he decided to abstain from sex for a while and adopt a regular lifestyle while taking Buckminsters, which was known to be good for the body. Of course, he also exercised hard.

I wonder if increasing my stamina points is really possible with this.

He had read online that exercising could increase his strength stat by 1 point. However, it wasnt a definite fact. Since there were so many rumors on the internet, he had to experiment and see for himself. It was a harmless business as it wasnt bad for the body and was, in fact, a good habit.

Still, seeing the points increase in specific numbers is a real motivation.

Seeing the points displayed in concrete numbers was definitely a motivation. His regular lifestyle and healthy eating habits definitely helped his stamina stat. Exercising hard also increased his strength. He easily gained about 40 points. Hyun-seok developed a habit of sleeping early and waking up early. He started ordering Buckminsters online and eating it regularly. On the third day, something changed.

[Your stamina stat has increased by 1.]

[You feel energetic. Your physical activity rate is 57%. Your recovery speed has increased.]

[All other stats are affected except for stamina.]

[Your physical age is determined to be 26 based on the stats except for stamina. Your recovery speed has increased.]

Something felt good for him. His physical age is 26. He has been working out hard and living his life with lots of noise for a while now. Looking towards his soon-to-be-30s, the feeling of his late 20s and mid-20s were different. At least, that was the case for Hyun-seok.

In the end, Hyun-seok raised his points to 100 and was forced to switch from tutorial mode to easy mode, and three months have passed like that.

Jong-won opened the door and came in. There were times when he came in without permission, knowing the house password. Every time he did, Hyun-seok would nag him about it, but he never changed the house password. So, it meant that he didnt hate Jong-won coming in like this, even though its not ideal.

Jong-wons face was already swollen from drinking as he spoke.

Jong-won, Im serious. And Im telling you because its you. I have no desire to reveal my strength recklessly. Its difficult to control, and I dont even want to be a Slayer.

What? Write a novel. Everything is maxed out at 100? Did you really eat something wrong? Is this a prank?

Jong-won still couldnt believe it. Hyun-seok explained.

If I had such power, there would be a high possibility of trouble. Starting with how this happened, there would be numerous attempts to recruit or restrain me. If I had an overwhelmingly strong power that could overpower everyone, it would be different, but if not, having strong power just leads to trouble. Even if its not like this as I said earlier, being a Slayer has little merit for me.

Jong-won still grimaced with a hint of skepticism. Yeah, he could understand it. Although he couldnt know exactly how much power all of his stats at 100 gave Hyun-seok, it was clear that he couldnt overcome every obstacle alone. Even with such an incredible amount of power, there were still organizations that might secretly try to lure or even kidnap Hyun-seok, assuming he felt threatened by someone jealous of his abilities. Even without such problems, it was reasonable to think that there could be some annoying issues to deal with. After all, having all of his stats at 100 was a remarkable feat, and it was understandable that someone would want to hide their power and avoid troublesome situations. There were also plenty of predictions that there were still people who were hiding their powers and hadnt revealed themselves yet.

However, such problems aside, Well not everyone has to be necessarily a slayer. Currently, compared to the income of a slayer, Hyun-seoks income was not falling behind. He had a stable and comfortable office job and was also earning extra income through translation work. He was in a state where he didnt need to risk his life to fight as a slayer, with an uncertain future ahead.

But having all of the stats at 100? Thats a load of bull. Its not as easy as it sounds, is it?

Jong-won laughed for a moment, but then his face turned serious. His body flinched. The alcohol had suddenly lost its effect.

But cant you believe this?

Battlefield?

The battlefield could be spread out when there were monsters nearby. Within this battlefield, a slayer could demonstrate the power they possessed as a slayer. Yeah. That was good. The ability to spread out the battlefield was a way of revealing that they were a slayer, and it was an ability that any slayer could use.

But there arent any monsters here. This cant betrue!
