Chapter 21: Physical Cultivation Level 1
After the proper bath, Ram saw his reflection in the mirror.
"For some reason, I look much cleaner and better. Though I am still average-looking. There seems to be some kind of positive aura around me."
Ram then closely observed himself in the mirror. He felt he had grown in height a little; he was definitely more than 6 feet 2 inches tall now, but what amazed him most was not only his height but also his hair. It had actually also grown to shoulder length from normal short length, though he was still of a wheatish complexion with an athletic physique. He felt his lips and face were more defined, and his eyes had gone to a darker black colour than they originally were.
"I was wrong; I am definitely not average-looking any more, though I don't mind too much about how I look, but who can say no to being better-looking than before?"
Ram felt that he could make a Tinder account or try any dating meeting in this world. Maybe after 20 meetings, I'll be lucky to date someone. hehe..
If anyone saw Ram looking at his reflection in the mirror and talking about girls, they would have thought either he was very confident or he had some screws loose in his head.
Ram then walked a little away from the mirror and saw his own reflection changing and merging with the man in the black cloak. He silently observed it for a while, then walked away.
"System now, please continue."
"Ding!"
"Congratulations!"
"Host, you have just reached Level 1 beginner in physical cultivation."
"I had made this obvious guess, but thanks for clarification." Ram interrupted the system with his remark.
The system ignored Ram's remark and continued.
"Host, due to stepping into the physical cultivation, the system has granted a reward. It is advised to go through the status window."
Ram didn't expect a reward for this either, but he would gladly accept it. Who could say no to gifts?
"STATUS."

Ram saw the change in the physical cultivation column and a golden gift box icon blinking at the bottom of the status window.
"System, please open the gift."
Swiish...
A golden light shone in front of Ram, and a gift box the size of a small wristwatch box came out of the empty space. Ram took hold of it and started opening it.
"Wait, System, I remember that every time I got something from System, it was already mentioned what it was and it never came in the gift box; what is different now?"
"Host the scrolls or items given by the system whose information is already provided; they are stored in the system warehouse, but the gift boxes are like random items that could be anywhere throughout the universe. "The system just randomly picks whatever it gets from the river of time, and without knowing what it is, it's packed and given to the host for his achievements."
Ram looked a little speechless with this information: "So it's like a lucky draw from the universe. It could be anything."
What if he receives something like underwear or a banana peel? wouldn't that be ... Let's not go there.
"Happy thoughts, happy thoughts..."
Ram adjusted his mind and opened the gift box.
"What is this?"
"Is this a sea shell? It looks like a miniature Shankh (please google the image)."
"Am I expected to collect shells now?"
"System, what is this?"
"Ding!"
"Analysing…"
"Analysing…"
"Ding!"
"Congratulations! The host has received the divine Shankh. This shankh can change its shape, and the host can enter the private, secret realm world. and when in its miniature version, it can be used as a storage ring. This ring can store living and non-living things."
Ram went silent for a few seconds, then exploded with a lot of emotions.
