Chapter 4 - First Growth

The training grounds remained silent beneath

the afternoon sunlight as sweat continuously dripped from Kael Draven's body while he tightly gripped the wooden sword.

His breathing had already become rough, yet his movements never stopped.

Slash—the wooden sword cut through the air sharply.

Step—another slash followed immediately afterward.

Ding, [Slash: 40/1000]. Kael continued swinging without hesitation: again, again, and again.

The wooden sword continuously moved beneath the sunlight while sweat soaked his clothes completely.

Hours slowly passed. Ding, [Slash: 409/1000].

Kael's hands had already become sore, yet his eyes remained calm as he continued training without rest.

Slash after slash filled the quiet training grounds endlessly until eventually, ding,

[Slash: 1000/1000]. Kael slowly exhaled heavily, but he did not stop.

He immediately adjusted his stance before beginning the next movement: Thrust.

The wooden sword shot forward directly, over and over again, as the repeated thrusting movements slowly became smoother and faster over time.

Ding, [Thrust: 1000/1000]. Without resting, Kael immediately continued toward the next movement: Vertical Cut.

The wooden sword descended downward repeatedly as sweat continuously fell onto the ground beneath him.

His arms had already become numb from exhaustion, yet Kael continued moving until, ding, [Vertical Cut: 1000/1000].

Then finally came the Horizontal Cut.

Kael rotated his waist while swinging the wooden sword sideways repeatedly—again, again, and again.

The movements slowly became more natural as time passed while the sun gradually began setting beyond the estate walls.

Finally, ding, [Horizontal Cut: 1000/1000]. Kael's exhausted body trembled slightly, and then suddenly, ding,

[Quest Completed.]

[Rewards Distributed.]

[4 Free Attribute Points Acquired.]

Kael slowly lowered the wooden sword before quietly speaking,

"...Status". A blue panel immediately appeared before him:

Kael quietly stared at the panel, then calmly spoke, "1 point to Endurance. 3 points to Agility".

The moment the points were assigned, a strange surge of power instantly spread throughout his entire body.

Kael's eyes narrowed slightly as his muscles tightened and his breathing became slightly sharper.

The strengthening sensation moved through his veins like flowing heat, yet Kael remained calm.

He immediately realized that his body had become stronger than before, but he still needed time to properly adapt to the changes.

Without hesitation, Kael immediately resumed training once again: slash, step, turn.

The wooden sword moved continuously through the air while Kael slowly adjusted to his increased agility and endurance.

Most of the day passed inside the training grounds, and then suddenly, Kael stopped moving completely.

Elena—he suddenly remembered his promise to play with her in the evening. Without wasting another second,

Kael immediately left the training grounds and headed back toward the estate,

because unlike his previous life, this time... he would never break a promise to his family again.
