nCongratulations! You have advanced to Lv.11 by comprehending Lv.11.

nCongratulations! Your and upgraded from Stage-1 to Stage-2.

nCongratulations! You gained the Mastery Perk by reaching Stage-2.

nCongratulations! You have met 1 of the three requirements for Tier-2 Evolution.

n__________________________________

nTier-2 Evolution Requirements:

n{1} Reach Stage-2 Sword Mastery ✓

n{2} Obtain enough Life Energy that is required to reach Lv.11 ✘

n{3} Obtain 1 Uncommon Achievement Title and 3 Common Achievement Titles ✘

n__________________________________

nCongratulations! You received an Achievement Title,

nA new section for Achievement Titles got added to your .

nI was able to understand some important information from the new notifications that popped up.

nFirst of all, my Stage-1 Upgraded into a Stage-2, and even though I was eager to check it out, I could barely move in that condition of Low Stamina.

nStamina: 3

/65

nSecond, by achieving Stage-2, (Lv.11 - Lv.20) and Stage-2 Sword Mastery (Lv.11 - Lv.20), I even fulfilled one requirement to undergo Tier 2 Evolution.

nThird, the Evolution to Tier-2 will occur when trying to reach Lv.11 by crossing Lv.10, and I also need 1 Uncommon Achievement Title and 3 Common Achievement Titles for Tier-2 Evolution.

nFinally, to find out more about Achievement Titles, I opened my Status tab and found a new section in it.

n_____________________

nAchievement Title:

n (Common)

nEffect: Endurance 5°

n_____________________

nAfter looking at the Training Maniac-I Achievement Title and the Stats added through Achievement Title, there was a

" °

" symbol.

nI received another notification above the Status tab.

nDo you wish to activate the Achievement Title, ?

nI gladly accepted it, and in the exact moment, where I laid on the ground with complete exhaustion, what I needed the most was Endurance.

nWarning: Sudden increase of 5° Stats in Endurance causes severe pain.

nDo you wish to proceed in Safety mode?

nIn Safety Mode, Stats will get added periodically so that your body can easily adjust to its improvements.

nI selected Safe Mode as I felt it was not worth experiencing extreme pain since it was not critical to immediately needed Stats.

nEndurance: 13 ➝ 14

nStamina: 8

/70

nI felt my body becoming sturdier, and along with that, my Stamina also increased by 5 points.

nWith the recovered Stamina, I plodded the bushes at the entrance and looked outside.

nThe Sunlight was still there, and it was even brighter; I placed my hand within the sunlight, and the shadow was slightly below, showing that it was a little past afternoon.

nThe new revelation baffled me and inwardly wondered to myself, 'Just how many hours are there in this place for a day to complete?'

nAs there was nothing I could do about it, I pulled my Mini trekking bag to use it as a pillow and went into a deep sleep.

n**********

nJust as I woke up, what greeted me was a notification.

nEndurance: 14 ➝ 18

nStamina: 90

/90

nI mentally swiped them off and checked the time on the top left of my vision.

nALPHA Program, Day - 1, Time - 18:04:11

nI slept for nearly 4 hours, and it's been 18 hours since I got teleported. Because of all the heat, I wasn't able to sleep properly.

nI felt a drastic change in my body became even sturdier, but it didn't show much of a change in my appearance.

nBecause of an increase in Endurance Attribute, even when I only slept for 4 hours, I felt refreshed, but the problem was that my body took a toll from the increase in my constitution, and that caused my stomach to let out a hungry roar.

nI started eating food ravenously like I had been starving for a few days, and without realizing, I almost depleted all of my food items.

nThen I went out and search for alternative food and water sources. For that, I need to prepare myself for any encounter with monsters.

nSo, I checked the Weapon Mastery section in my Status tab for the .

nLv.11: Damage Output increases by 110% when used on Sword Spirit Item. Cost: 11 Spirit Energy per minute.

n - The Sword Aura becomes sharper as it extends beyond the Sword and the overall Damage output increases by 2 fold. Cost: 11 Spirit Energy per Second.

nAfter noticing the description of Stage-2, I tried out using it on my , and a Cyan coloured aura started flowing on it.

nWith reaching Stage-2, my control over the sword aura increased to an even higher level.

nI tried to use the , and an even sharper Cyan coloured Aura appeared, and it extended beyond the Sword tip and the , which was a half meter long, looked like it became one and a half meters long.

nThe doubles the already increased overall damage, including the additional damage from .

nWhen used in combat as a surprise attack, it can be quite deadly!

nThe problem was it consumes a lot of Spirit Energy and even affects Stamina.

nOnce again, I received a notification saying that Rusty Short Sword's Durability decreased, and this time it even reduced by 3 points at once.

nEven my Stamina and Spirit Energy decreased by 5 points and 11points, respectively.

nDurability: 37

/100 ➝ 34

/100

nSpirit Energy: 40

/40 ➝ 29

nStamina: 90

nI deactivated the , and I waited for 15 minutes to recover my Stamina and Spirit Energy.

nMeanwhile, I changed my clothes, took out the Boxing wraps from my bag, and tied them around my knuckles and wrist to have a better grip while holding the Rusted Short Sword.

nWhen I get injured, I could even use boxing wraps like a bandage to stop bleeding.

nI prepared myself to forage the surrounding area in search of any alternatives for food and water sources.

nBefore going out, I checked my tab.
