Chapter : 4 Workout and Horney Devil chase
Riser made his way back to his room, clutching the Time Chamber key, the first epic reward he received from the gacha.
"So, how do I use this? Do I just put it in a keyhole?" Riser pondered aloud, examining the key and wondering about its function.
The system chimed in, offering guidance:
[You can place it anywhere in the air and rotate it. It will create a door for you to enter.]
Following the instructions, Riser held the key aloft and mimicked inserting it into an imaginary keyhole, rotating it. With a brilliant flash, a rectangular outline shimmered into existence, forming a magical door before him. Unlike a typical wooden door, this one exuded an aura of magic.
Upon stepping through, Riser found himself greeted by a breathtaking scene: a vast expanse of blue sky above and lush greenery below, stretching endlessly into the distance. Amidst the expansive landscape stood two imposing dome structures.
Above one of the domes, a hologram materialized, displaying the words: "Footwork Motion Studio."
Similarly, the other dome bore a holographic inscription: "Graviton Studio."
Surveying the panorama, Riser couldn't help but marvel at the possibilities. "It's so immense. I could even establish a secret base here and carry out some shady activities," he mused, taking in the serene beauty of the surroundings, complete with flowing rivers and verdant landscapes.
But he wanted to try the Gravity Studio first to feel gravity's pressure on his body. To be honest, his main goal was that all along because he knew that increasing gravity could make him stronger much faster, which couldn't be achieved with other equipment.
Riser dashed towards the studio, a journey that took him a good 10 minutes due to its considerable distance from his initial point.
Upon entering the dome, the door mechanically slid open, revealing a vast, empty circular space devoid of any visible features besides the enclosing walls.
"Where's the button to start this thing up?" Riser inquired, scanning the area for a switch or button to activate the studio.
"It's voice-manual, so there's no physical switch. Just say 'activate' to turn it on, or 'start' to initiate the process. Similarly, instruct it to turn off by saying 'turn off.' You can also adjust the gravity by voice command. Here, the gravity is based on Earth's, so increasing it will multiply Earth's gravity by factors like 10x or 100x," the system clarified.
"Activate," Riser commanded.
[Activating Graviton Studio] a mechanical voice said
[Please input the gravity number,] it prompted.
Riser, fueled by confidence, stretched his body and confidently commanded, "100X," eager to experience the intensity of the gravitational force.
However, this proved to be his biggest mistake, as the excitement overshadowed the realization of the immense pressure that 100X gravity would exert.
"[100X gravity initiating in 3 seconds, 1... 2... 3...]" echoed the system's warning.
With a resounding Thud!
The moment the crushing pressure hit Riser, he crumbled to the ground, his vision blurring, and his consciousness teetering on the edge. Despite the struggle, he managed to stay conscious through sheer willpower.
Lips quivering, he softly uttered, "Tur...n o...ff."
Huff... huffff.
Riser rose to his knees, breathing heavily. "I could have died," he muttered, shaken by the intensity of the experience but he wasn't terrified or anything just in shock for a moment as he felt death so close.
"[100X gravity is too much for starting]," the system said.
"Bastard! What's the use of telling me now when I already felt it?" Riser grumbled in frustration. The overwhelming pressure had left him on the ground on his knees for a while as he gathered his breath, gradually calming his racing heartbeat.
As the pain slowly dissipated from his body, a sinister grin crept across Riser's face, stretching wide with satisfaction. "This... this is what I desired my whole life a body that i can be trained to surpass my limits and this what i exactly wanted," he muttered a sense of satisfaction in his voice
In his previous body, he could have instantly died from bone crushing, and there wouldn't have been a chance of survival. But now, due to his Phenex regenerative power, even when he felt tremendous pain as if his body was breaking, he didn't instantly succumb. On top of that, the pain vanished immediately afterwards.
"Hahaa... This is pure bliss," Riser chuckled as he got up on his feet again, cracking his neck and hands, ready to go for another round of Gravity pressure.
"Let's start with a little less. Increase the pressure to 5X. Let's start with a warm-up," Riser said.
(5x pressure Initiating in 3 seconds 1..2..3..)
As the pressure descended upon Riser, he sensed the weight of his body increasing, yet it felt more manageable than before, no longer like being crushed under a giant rock.
Stripping off his upper clothes, Riser revealed a lean physique, not skinny, as he began to jog around the dome, which measured approximately 600 meters in circumference.
By the time Riser reached the 300-meter mark, his stamina had already depleted. Despite this, he pressed on, his body drenched in sweat. It wasn't so much running as it was an uneven, determined walk, fueled by sheer willpower despite his exhaustion.
Huff...huff...
Riser was breathing heavily, his hand on his knees supporting himself, his leg slightly shaking due to muscle fatigue.
"How much time has passed?" Riser said. While running, he felt that he was quite slow and was taking too much time to get back to his initial position.
[Look over there towards your left, there is a small screen that calculates how much time you have spent inside the Graviton Studio,] the system chimed in.
Riser looked towards the screen, showing 45 minutes. "It took me 45 minutes just to complete one round. Are you kidding me?" Riser said, his heavy breath in rhythm.
He was slightly disappointed, but he knew this was the current limit for his body. He will break it sooner, as he did some 30 pushups, 30 squats. He wanted to do some pull-ups too, but there was no bar so he left that for another time.
The time passed around as he spent 1 hour 15 minutes inside the Graviton Studio.
Grrrrr.
Suddenly, a sound came from Riser's stomach. "I'm feeling hungry," Riser muttered as he stepped out of the Graviton Studio, greeted by sun rays.
"By the way, system, does the gate to enter this place always be open there?" Riser questioned as he watched the shining magic door far away.
[Yes the entrance to this whole place will always open over there, but this a caution when you enter this Place please close the door after entering it or somebody might enter through it.]
The time chamber key that he inserted in his room actually came inside with him, but he didn't notice. He could just close the magic door from inside by pulling out the key.
"Wait, does that mean this place is not exclusive to me?" Riser questioned.
"The time chamber key is exclusive to you. Only you can open the door, but after the door is opened, anyone can enter it," came the reply.
"I see. This might be a good thing that I can bring people in here," Riser said to himself as he walked towards the magic door. As he got back to his room, he pulled out the key, and the magic door slowly vanished.
Riser flicked the key in the air and then caught it with his fingertips. He looked at it with sharp eyes. "I should probably name that place. How about Utopia?" he muttered to himself as he slid the key into his pants pocket.
As he cleaned himself up and wore fresh clothes.
* Time skip*
It's been around 10 minutes since Riser came out of the time chamber room, which he named Utopia.
Even though he spent around 1 hour inside Utopia, only around 3 minutes had passed outside.
Riser was currently walking in the corridor, trying to find a maid so he could ask her to bring in some food.
"What kind of rich family is this? Don't they have a magic button to summon maids along with food?" Riser grumbled as he kept walking.
And suddenly, around the corner, when Riser took a turn, he collided with somebody.
Ouch!
The person was none other than the beautiful Buxom woman with Long purple wavy hair and a pair of white melons that was holding on the edge of her clothes.
Yes, it's Yubelluna Ravel Queen and the only peerage members of hers.
Riser unnoticingly squeezed one of her boobs as she was fallen into his arms. Due to Collison between them, she lost balance and Was going to fall But Riser instinctively Held her.
Ahh..
A soft moan came out as Riser once again unknowingly squeezed one of her Blossom as he quickly supported her to stand back up again.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to do that. It happened by mistake," Riser apologized for his unintentional mistake.
"There is no need for sorry, Master Riser. It was my fault. I didn't pay attention around the corner while turning," Yubelluna said.
"It was also my fault for not paying attention, so don't blame yourself. I even enjoyed a bit," Riser reassured.
"Huh!" Yubelluna responded.
"I mean, I am going to enjoy some food. Why don't you go back to your work?" Riser said, covering up his words.
As Yubelluna slightly bowed and left, Riser stood there, suddenly catching a whiff of something sweet – the scent of plum fruit.
Curious, he questioned where it was coming from, his nose pinpointing his right hand. As he moved his right hand closer, especially to his nose, his eyes widened. The refreshing smell filled his body as he took a deep sniff.
"Huuh, what is this smell?" Riser muttered as he realized where the fragrance came to his hand, it was Yubelluna's fragrance.
Taking another deep sniff, not out of perversion but because it soothed his mind, though to an outsider, it might have seemed he sniffing some drugs– his eyes rolled upwards.
While Riser was absorbed in sniffing, he noticed a blurry figure in his peripheral vision. When he focused, it was his twin brother, Oreo Phenex, standing with a shocked expression, holding a glass of white liquid, presumably milk.
Riser quickly withdrew his hand from his nose, acting as if he hadn't been doing anything, just casually wandering around as he started to whistle a tune, trying to divert attention away from his peculiar behavior.
While Riser kept up his act of nonchalance, pretending he hadn't seen Oreo, he eventually turned around to check if his brother had left or not.
But as he turned, he was startled by Oreo, who suddenly appeared in front of him, glaring with suspicious eyes.
"What were you doing a moment ago?" Oreo asked, his tone sharp with suspicion.
"Nothing," Riser replied casually, not fully grasping Oreo's agitation.
"Don't lie to me. I saw what you were doing. You were smelling your hand. Tell me, why were you smelling it? Tell me the truth!" Oreo's voice rose with anger as he grabbed Riser by the collar.
Confused, Riser shrugged, "What's wrong with you?"
"You were smelling Yubelluna's fragrance that got onto your hand, weren't you? Give me a chance to smell it too!" Oreo demanded, pulling Riser's hand towards his face.
"Leave me, dammit!" Riser shouted, pulling his hand away and backing away, leaning against the wall.
"Riser, you know I always wanted Yubelluna in my peerage, but Ravel took her. I wanted to touch her body, but never got the chance. But you touched her, even got her scent!" Oreo muttered, his words coming out like those of a maniac.
"Give it to me! Did you hear? Give it to me, that smell! I want to experience it too. I want that sweet smell to play with my nose. Come on, give it to me now!" Oreo's eyes widened as he advanced, seeming possessed by a primal desire.
As Oreo lunged towards Riser, Riser's instincts kicked in, and he immediately bolted away. It wasn't fear that drove him, but rather a primal urge to flee the escalating situation.
Oreo, fueled by his obsessive desire for Yubelluna's scent, gave chase, shouting, "Riser, you can't keep that hand! Let me cut it off from your body!"
Riser's heart pounded as he raced through the corridors, the sound of Oreo's footsteps echoing behind him.
