Dominic didn't remember what happened but he lost his consciousness while laughing like a maniac.
He opened his eyes again. Lying on the grass and soil, wet clothes clung to his body like an iron piece to a magnet.
He sat up and coughed up some water. On his right was a deep and wide river. He noticed footprints of a woman going towards the river.
"System, are you there?" He asked while looking down at his old worn-out pants and loose shirt. No footwear on his feet.
[I am always within you. Only you can hear and see me. You want to see your status? Here]
[Name: Dominic Tornado Rich (age 20)
Level: 1
Spirit: (none)
Magic circle: 1
Mana: 100
Abilities: (none)
Skills: (none)
Stats: (don't look, you will hate yourself)]
[You are in the worst state. You need to improve your stats first. Follow my instructions for a month. Then I will let you look at your stats]
"Really? Fine. But, why am I not getting any information about this body? Shouldn't I get his memories?" Dominic asked.
[The memories are part of one's soul. Since the soul has left the body, you get his body only]
Dominic stood up on his feet and looked at the footprints, "I will find you, lady."
Then he went back to his hit in the village of Motivation.
Motivation was a small village behind the Motivation Hills. Dominic Tornado Rich had been exiled from his family for 9 years because he lost his spirit in an accident.
The Gold Spirit was the symbol of House Rich.
Dominic lost that and lost his status as a noble. He was still receiving enough money to live without doing any work.
In his room, new Dominic found a journal under the mattress and read it until nightfall. He lit up the oil lamp and sighed at the small hut, "This guy is really an unfortunate guy."
"He was originally a level 10 swordsman at the age of 11 and was about to become a knight. He even got engaged to a duke's daughter. But his second brother poisoned him and destroyed his spirit with dark magic."
"He tried to expose his brother but he had no proof and no one to believe him. His stepmoms and step-siblings hated him because he was the one who was reeking with dark magic."
"He was about to be beheaded by his father but his mother saved him. He had been saving money given by his mother for the past 9 years while living in poverty. To hire a mage and get his spirit core fixed."
"Well, I can feel his anger in my body even though he has this world."
Then he shredded the journal into pieces and set fire to it with an oil lamp. He threw the burning papers and oil onto the wooden surfaces of the hut and got out.
Then he started walking towards the town where the previous Dominic had put his savings in a bank.
Soon the hut would glow with fire. But he didn't care. That journal was full of hateful words towards House Rich. He could get into trouble because of it.
He needed money to stay in a different place and increase his strength.
The system had told him that it had repaired all the physical damage when he was unconscious near the river.
He needed to follow a routine to get his body in proper shape to get a new spirit.
The system had already picked a spirit for him.
"Titan Spirit"
It would not only make him a man among men, but also give him the potential to stand against the powerhouses of this world.
One month later.
Knock! Knock!
"Mr. Tornado, I have brought you your lunch, "
The innkeeper's wife shouted behind the door.

Within the room, a naked man was doing push-ups on his right hand with his left hand on his back.
Sweat was rolling from the cracks between his muscles.
If you take a closer look, you will see the face of an asura laughing on his back muscles.
His V-shaped torso was the ideal body for men. His biceps were thick and hard like iron but not thick enough to stop him from rubbing his back.
"Are you exercising? It is the 12th hour of the day, sir, " she was familiar with his routine. But she couldn't believe that he never stopped until he reached his goal.
You lose when you stop. So don't stop even if you are tired. Stop when you are done.

Bam!
His right hand slapped hard on the floor to lift up his upper body, and he pulled his upper body straight with his feet until he was standing straight on his feet.
The short-haired man with a shaved face turned his head towards the door, "Please leave it at the door. I need to take a quick shower first."
"I will wait outside then, " She said as if she didn't have anything else to do.
"Give me five minutes, " He said to her while whispering, "System."
[You have completed 1300 push-ups out of 1500]
[Once you are done. Your one-month training will end. You will be rewarded with Titan Spirit and many other exciting things]
Dominic entered his personal bathroom and turned on the shower. It was a little cold but he didn't care.
He cleaned his body with water first then used a cheap soap for fragrance. No one liked smelly guys.
After cleaning his body, he answered the door with a white towel wrapped around his waist like a loincloth.
His muscular golden chest made the innkeeper's wife gulp hard. She handed him the bento he had ordered from a Japanese cuisine restaurant while imprinting the image of his chest in her mind.
Dominic had grown taller and wider. Previously, Dominic was 159 cm tall, but the new Dominic made it to 184 cm with more than 10,000 pull-ups and balanced food.
Today was the last day of his training, so he ordered some lobsters and shrimps.
He had been living in an inn in Rich City for a month now. With the system's help, he escaped the eyes of spies sent by his mother and his family.
They could never imagine that Dominic would dare to live so close to them.
He got 920 gold coins from the savings of the previous Dominic. He spent 100 gold coins to live secretly in a 3-star inn and buy information about his family.
He looked down at the beautiful woman of the innkeeper, smiled inwardly, 'Sorry woman, but you don't have the spark I need.'
He took the bento, "Thank you, Mrs. Potter. I will pay later."
She raised her hand and was about to say something but couldn't decide what to do. She wanted to touch his chest and deny his money to get closer to him but words didn't come to her tongue.
She just smiled awkwardly, "No... No... There's no need."
"You are blushing and stuttering. You should drink some water and take a deep breath. I will come downstairs later, " Dominic said with his ultra charming smile before closing the door on her face.
The truth was he didn't want to spoil her relationship with her husband. They were nice people and had taken care of his needs with utmost sincerity. Maybe because of money and their honest hearts. They had won Dominic's heart.
The bento was wrapped and tied with a black cloth. He found a note under the bento box when he unwrapped the clothing.
"House Rich is recruiting soldiers. Baron Rich is aiming for the Viscount title and forming an alliance with Count Wolf. A dungeon has opened in the eastern forest area of the city."
"It is hunting time, " Dominic said while chewing a shrimp.
After eating his lunch, he finished his one-month training.
