Chapter 65: Training (II)
Training in Gravity?
But isn’t this too much? I can’t even lift my leg. Looking at Amelia, I saw a serious expression on her face.
“What is this?” I asked, even though I knew the answer.
“The gravity field will help you build up your body.” She replied.
The strain on my body was getting to be too much for me, so I sat down and looked at her.
“How is it that you have this facility with you?” I asked her.
“Our ancestors built these facilities for us in order to support the future generations,” she replied, closing her eyes.
She seems to miss them so much. Why do I feel that way? She doesn’t look so old. She wouldn’t be living for a long time, right?
As I adjusted myself to gravity, I sat straight in an upright position and took a deep breath. After some time, my body became adjusted to gravity.
As I looked at Amelia again, she was sitting on a stone watching me, but she seemed to think about something else.
“You will help me kill some animals and help me up?” I asked her.
She gazed at me as if she had just emerged from her thoughts, saying “Don’t you know, for the next evolution, your body must become strong or else you will die.”
What the fuck! My thought was that if I got more skills and powers, I would become more powerful. Eve didn’t even tell me.
The voice of Eve suddenly came into my mind.
“I’ve given Host the tasks to strengthen your body” I can hear the anger in her voice.
My lips were sealed. She could have at least told me this.
It is then that I remember when I acquired the Power of Fire. My body was on the verge of burning, but by chance, I found a river nearby and otherwise would have been a fried monkey.
An eerie shiver swept through my body, and then I glanced at Amelia with a grateful gaze. She smiled at me as if she understood my gaze.
“What’s next?” I asked her.
After some time, she replied, “You need to adjust your body first to the respective gravity, and then train in that gravity. Later, with increasing gravity, you can build up your body.”.
My understanding of her goal is reasonable, but I must ask why she did this. I understand she believes in some hypothetical predictions, but I am still a stranger to her.
In any case, I will ask her in the future.
Having adjusted my body to the 2X gravity, I went about my daily routine. There were some difficulties while doing the routines, but finally, I completed them with no problem.
Even I was surprised at how quickly my body adapted to gravity.
Meanwhile, Eve’s voice echoed in my mind.
“The host body is unique, so you will be able to adjust easier than others.”
“Why?” I asked.
“You have been transmigrated to this world with the chance to become GOD. You are Special,” she replied.
Special? She was boosting my esteem with conceit. But suddenly I recalled Amelia’s lesson.
I shook my head and walked towards Amelia.
A look of surprise was visible on her face.
Despite my sweaty body, I looked too good. As a matter of habit, I moved my hands toward my head to adjust my hair. What met me was my bald head. I forgot that my hair was gone.
Suddenly my smile disappeared, and I looked at Amelia and asked, “So what do we do now?”
“It’s time to stop for today. I’m amazed that you adjusted this quickly,” she replied with an amused smile.
It pleased me that she could recognize that I was special, but I can’t tell her that.
“We can continue. I can adjust to more gravity,” I replied, looking at her for an answer.
No, this is over for the day. Although your body adjusted quickly to gravity, don’t do too much. You will get hurt.”
I nodded at her and asked, “So, what’s next?”
As for today, you will hunt some animals without using your power. Just use your body today.” She replied.
I asked her, “Won’t it be easy to hunt with my power?”.
“You can’t be overly dependent on your powers. What will you do if you cannot use your powers? Then you will be useless because you are dependent on them every time you fight”
Taking a deep breath, I nodded. She was right. Since I got the powers, I use them every time to solve problems.
“And you might not know, using your power puts extra pressure on your body. It could eventually cause problems when you evolve in the future.” She said as she stared at me.
“Anyway, let’s get out of here.” She continued.
Nodding at her, I returned to put on my shirt, after which I followed her.
“Why train me?” I inquired curiously.
“Didn’t I tell you?” she replied instantly.
“In the end, I am just a stranger,” I told her.
Then she stopped, and turned to look at me: “After so many years, I saw Granny smile from her heart. It had been her life’s regret not to have found the hope of seeing the world. But you appeared, and she saw a spark of hope in you.”
A moment later, she continued, “Although I don’t believe that prediction, for her smile, I will do whatever it takes to make it happen. If you try to destroy that smile, I swear I will kill you with my own hands, even if I have to travel to hell.”
Her face was filled with distress as she became agitated.
I am not sure where I got the courage, but I eventually looked her in the eyes and stepped closer to her.
As I closed my eyes and held her neck, I kissed her deeply and felt the softness in her lips. It was my first kiss in this world.
Suddenly, my body was still, and I felt as though the world was crashing down on me.
My eyes opened, and I saw her. I could tell she was boiling over with rage.
