Chapter 4: Muscle System (2)
Aur swiftly ran through the forest.
"Sigh, why is that mansion in the middle of nowhere? But at least I get some training from just going to and fro."
"Muscle system," Aur thought with a little embarrassment as he summoned a blue panel with a thought, and it flickered before solidifying in front of him.
–––––
[Muscle System]
[Name: Aur Cromwell/ Auriel]
[Talent: Future Seer]
[Muscle Mass: 0.89](+)
[Blood and Qi: 0.76](+)
[Intelligence: 1]

When Aur first started to train at the age of one, the blue panel hovered in his vision after he had completed his training. Although he had a certain understanding of what this was from his previous world, he still didn't believe it and ignored it for a year.
After all, the name was really strange. However, there was one minor thing that was missing previously – the system didn't have stat points, quests, and talents. So, all Aur saw were his stats with nothing more to increase, even if he wanted to do something with his system.
Aur gradually accepted the changes and started to study the system after a year or two. freёwebnovel.com
As he grew bored of living his childhood in his own house without travelling around or talking much to anyone although his mother and father would occasionally keep him company and Aur rather enjoyed the warmth of the family for the first time in his life.
Although he could train all day and even see himself improving with his status, his body was still that of a three-year-old, and he needed proper rest to train again. This left him with a lot of free time on his hands.
That's why, in his free time, he used to study his system from time to time out of curiosity.
From the research he could conduct, this system was a strange one that didn't have a levelling system like he knew, where he could kill other species except his own and gain levels, gaining insane strength in moments.
Thinking of that moment, Aur was quite disappointed when he found out, but he was a little relieved as well. freёwebnovel.com
There was no free lunch in the world!
This philosophy was deeply ingrained in Aur, and he didn't want to gain his power from the system, making him a slave to his own system as he furthered down his path. However, that didn't mean he wouldn't utilize it.
From researching the system and comparing it to his reality, he found that one point in three of his stats with a plus sign meant the peak that a mortal man can ever hope to achieve in this world. Even though both his father and mother were wizards, he was already physically stronger than them, from his estimation.
And as he continued to train, Aur gained a lot of muscle, and his body was already shredded. Since his father was a teacher, he didn't have to go to the normal school of the village, as he could study from his father and mother at home. Since the system was useless to him except for seeing his status, Aur gradually started to forget about his system.
Until his sixth birthday, when a "ding" sound sounded in his head, and a blue panel flickered in front of Aur.
There was a new section in the status: quest, stat points, and talent.
Aur sighed as he envisioned increasing his qi and blood by pressing the plus button.
His body filled with vitality as energy coursed through him, enhancing his speed. Aur looked at the status screen again.

[Blood and Qi: 0.77](+)
[Intelligence: 1]

[Quest: Daily (running)]

His blood and qi had slightly increased by 0.01, but just these increases filled his body with vitality, while his stat points decreased by one.
Aur focused on the Quest section.
[Quest: Daily]
- Run 30 km (4 km left)
- Push-ups 400 (incomplete)
- Squats 400 (incomplete)
- Plank 20 minutes (incomplete)
"Still four kilometres left; after that, I will have to do push-ups and then so on and so forth..." Aur thought with a sigh however his eyes reflected deep excitement.
The Daily Quest he received initially wasn't challenging, but as he grew stronger, it became increasingly difficult.
Rustle!
Suddenly, his ears twitched, causing him to pause.
He back-stepped effortlessly, dodging a snake by a small margin.
The snake was at least 4 feet (121 cm) long as it hissed at him after landing on the ground, revealing it's two sharp and long fangs.
"How annoying," Aur muttered in annoyance, effortlessly dodging again as the snake lunged at him.
The snake's eyes widened with disbelief, but it still slenderly turned back to attack again.
However, its eyes, which radiated intelligence, widened in shock as it saw Aur near him.
Before it could even react, Aur caught the snake by the neck, tightly gripping it between its jaws.
The snake was frightened, wriggling around and trying to open its jaws, but no matter how hard it struggled, Aur's grip remained unyielding.
"Well, this will make me another quick buck too..." Aur's eyes glinted with murderous glee as he regarded the snake as if it were some kind of treasure.
His grip tightened gradually as he exerted more strength.
The snake helplessly writhed around, attempting to escape the terrifying grip of Aur, but it simply couldn't, regret flashing in its eyes.
Aur's grip caused the entire head of the snake to almost cave in, rendering it motionless.
"It died!" he exclaimed with a satisfied expression.
He quickly carried the snake as he walked away; however, Aur paused as he thought of something.
"These wyvern snakes don't really attack an enemy unless there is something they need to protect..." Aur pondered, hearing the sound of branches breaking. He vanished from his position.
"Is this the place where I can find that treasure?" a golden-haired boy exclaimed as he emerged from the bushes.
