[The following are your results based on your current physical capability.]

[Strength-- D+. Above average human strength.]

[Agility-- D. Average human speed.]

[Stamina-- D-. Average human stamina. Your skill makes it a bit better.]

[Endurance-- E+. You are weak. Won't survive a punch from anyone strong if you did not have the mana.]

[Overall ranking-- You are a completely average human. Nothing extraordinary at all.]

Noah watched his results with a look of disgust on his face.

'It would have been better if they were all shots instead. Being called average in everything sounds like an insult.'

If the results have been strong, it would have been a moment to celebrate.

If they have been utterly ridiculous, it would have been a moment like a protagonist's 'I am weak, and that's all the very reason to work hard', something like that.

But average?

That's the harsh part. You cannot be lazy, nor will you have the motivation to push past all the limits.

[Don't be like that, host. You are an average human, and you should he proud of that.]

The system tried to console him, but it failed utterly.

'Don't put salt on me now.'

He shook his head, but soon calmed down and asked,

'You said this technique doesn't require mana? How so? Every technique I introduced needed mana, so why only this?'

As he had concluded before, not everything is like what he had written. Not the plot, but the information. That only meant there are things that he is unaware of, and this is one of them.

A body refining technique that doesn't require any mana.

In a way, it's better for him. A technique like that is gonna be overpowered for sure.

Now, he doesn't hate that he paid 90 million story points for this.

But something still bugged him and that was the price he paid for it.

If a technique like that exists, then there is no way it will only cost 100 million. Given the astronomical points he requires for the story to be changed, the price of the technique did not sit well with him.

It should have cost him more. But it didn't and that only leads to one theory...

Someone wanted him to train this technique, and that someone is obviously the god who pulled him here.

'Is she trying to help me or is there something else? Wait, is that god even a she?'

He had only thought of that, but did not say it to the system.

[This is the only technique that doesn't require any mana to be used, host.]

[It was made that way.]

That wasn't the answer that he was hoping for. To be honest, he did not expect any form of answer that would help him to begin with.

'Leave it then.'

He couldn't care less anymore.

There were already too many things he needed to think of. Bo points out adding something else that he has no control over. And at the end, he was the one who asked for the technique from the system.

'That is a good technique, a very useful one at that. Sigh~'

He sighed and then decided to just go for it.

There were many places where he would need that technique.

There are places in this world where you cannot use mana. It will be useful there.

Even if not that, it's still very beneficial for him.

'Alright, so what quests are you gonna give me now?'

Ding~

[Based on your results, host.]

[You need to focus on basic training and get into good shape, and I don't mean a good physique.]

[Your body is already great, and your muscles are well-developed. It all happened because you get good nutrients.]

[Right now, you need to focus mostly on your endurance and your stamina.]

Ding~

[Quest: Basic training for physical growth.]

[100 push-ups.]

[100 sit-ups.]

[100 squats.]

[10 km run.]

[Do this every single day for a week.]

[Rewards: Bal- cough* cough*... Endurance goes up to D rank, Stamina goes up to D rank.]

Noah's eyes twitched hysterically when he saw the quest.

He felt this to be very similar to the training routine of a certain gag character, who doesn't have any superpower besides a very strong body.

'I saw what you did there motherfucker.'

If he had only seen the panel later on, he for sure would have missed what the system did at the rewards.

'You were gonna say baldness there, weren't you?'

Another thing that the character was famous for besides overwhelming strength.

Ding~

[I don't know what you are talking about, host.]

[There is no mention of baldness there.]

Yep, there wasn't any mention of that, cause that only happened when it was giving him the quest, but it quickly changed it back to endurance and stamina.

[Beside that, host. You are the mother fucker, not me.]

Veins popped up on his head, and his eyes turned red in fury.

'You trying to mess with me, cunt? I am already fucked up by this ongoing situation, you wanna go at it?'

[I am not wrong though.]

'That's it, bitch.'

He was about to use his Author's halo right there, when the system quickly spoke again.

[Alright, I apologise.]

Only after that did Noah calm down.

'Fine, I will forgive you for now. This bitch for sure has changed.'

A bit relaxed, he started to stretch his body.

It did not matter what training he had to follow; he was fine with that if it meant he could get stronger.

As for the baldness that might follow... he did not worry too much. This was a magical world, just growing hair isn't an issue at all.

His long and thick hair will be fine... maybe.

'Let's start with push-ups.'

He got on the ground, about to start the push-ups when the system called again,

Ding~

[Make sure, your posture is good, host. Otherwise, it won't count at all.]

[You can't just shake your hips and call it a push-up, right?]

[Also, you are not allowed to use mana while training at all.]

[Unless you are finished with the training, you are forbidden to use mana. If you do, the training will be deemed as failed, and you will have to restart it for it to count.]

He heard the rules but did not act up this time and only said,

'You are annoying. So, shut up now.'

And continued to do push-ups.

The system went silent as well, only showing the panel to him, counting his progress.

The count slowly rose up, from 1 to 2... 3... 4... 6... 8... 13... 16...

It did not feel difficult at first. He was doing it all like a breeze.

The real problem started when he crossed the mark of 20.

Slowly, he began to feel heavy. His hands started to hurt.

21... 22... 23... 24... 28...

Which only felt like a minor pain at first grew more and more as time went by.

Still, he was able to cross the mark of 30. But after that, he couldn't even feel any strength. He couldn't push his body up at all.

'This... is hard.'

He actually did not think too much before. A perk of never having exercised in either of his lives.

Only those who understand how difficult it gets.

He was already breathing heavily, soaked with sweat all over his body.

Looking at the panel, he had only done 32 push-ups.

'Not even one third... sigh, it's gonna be tiring.'

It was tough, to suddenly go from an author who only used his fingers to type to a knight who needed to train every day.

[Host.]

As he was taking a break, sitting on the sand. The system called him once again,

'Hmm?'

[Are you fine with being a bed husband?]

The system said, It's tone flat.

'Huh? The fuck you talk... oh. Heck NO.'

He wasn't able to understand what it meant at first, but when he did. He immediately refused.

It was quite simple.

A house husband. Someone who is tied to a house, used for housework only.

A bed husband... someone who is tied to a bed, only used for breeding.

He will never accept that fate.

Fuck with the tiredness. He will die rather than be a breeding tool without his choice. Though for a moment, he did feel like it won't be 'that' bad, after all, it was Eleanor.

But his goal was too big for him to be just tied to a single bed.

Hell no way, he will accept that.

He immediately got up, with a new motivation driving him.

'If I can't do it at once, I will do it in shifts.'

He can do them all separately and finish them all at the same time. There is no rule stating that he has to finish one before starting another one.

So, he went to the next one.

100 squats.

Not knowing, that's not gonna be easier either.
