章 7: Train strong...
Aleen watched as Chiron continued endlessly. It was obvious that there was no goal he was trying to reach with the boulders in sight. Yet, he continued. After another two hours, the drain of strength was too much on Chiron's body and he fainted. Aleen came and picked his son up, took him back inside the house and treated his wounds.
A Few hours later, Chiron opened his eyes once more. By his side was a plate of food. After he was done devouring it, he once again stepped out of the house and resumed with his boulders. His father was an elder of the clan and had gone to perform his duties outside the clan. By the time he came back, he found Chiron once again on the ground, with his younger sister crying by the side.
Aleen took him once more to be treated.
This sequence of straining until fainting, then eating and more straining continued like this over and over again. By the end of the week, Chiron fainted again. However, this time around when he opened his eyes, he saw notifications.
>>Congratulations, You have unlocked STAMINA<<
>>Congratulations, You have been awarded 5 points to stamina<<
>>Congratulations, You have been awarded 2 points to strength<<
>>Congratulations, You have been awarded 1 point to health<<
Seeing the series of information before his eyes, brought a smile to his face.
His stats had changed once more.
//FATE CHANGE SYSTEM//
>>STS<<
Rank= Nil.
Health= 16
Strength=17
Agility=2
luck= 0
Stamina= 5
Spirit energy= ??? (unusable)
Major Fate changed= Nil
Minor Fate changed=Nil
This was the sequence that took Chiron through these two years of his life. He would eat, train, faint and the process would repeat itself until his body got tired of fainting. At times he would just lay there on the floor unable to move a muscle. His body would feel as heavy as the boulders he was pulling.
Through the beating of rain, the biting cold of snow, the burning heat of the sun, all he did was train. Sometimes he would carry the boulders, other times he would pull them. Ensuring that at the end of every month, he increased the weight of the Boulders. He also did other exercises like push-ups, pull ups, squats, dips, weighted calf raises, and basically anything he could remember from the other world that was necessary for building an athletic body.
But exercising alone was not the only plan. Chiron had knowledge from the other world, and knew that an essential part of training was nutrition. He devoured food just as much as he did any exercise.
As he did, his stats became better, blessing him with more points as he felt his change become better and stronger.
In the blink of an eye, two extremely physically and mentally strenuous years went by. That was not all. Although Aleen would always take Chiron into the house at the end of every session, Chiron absolutely did not trust him. Only heavens knew when next the man was going to snap. Therefore Chiron always kept a kitchen knife under his pillow, his clothes and basically anywhere around that was easy for him to sprint and reach. Many times, he would practice his speed in reaching the knives and never stop for one day in his practices.
This helped increase his Agility.

2 years later
"Big brother! Big brother!!" Nora approached him with a plate of food in hand.
Meanwhile Chiron was in a handstand position with big stones tied to his ankles and one big one on his back. The total weight of the boulders, was four times his body weight. He was performing handstand pushups with the weights.
"190, 191, 192, 193, 194, 195, 196, 197, 198, 199, 200."
As Chiron counted, an excited Nora waited for him by the side with the food in hand.
When Chiron was done, he received another series of notifications.
>>Congratulations, you have been awarded 1 point for strength<<
>> Congratulations, you have been awarded half point for health<<
>>Congratulations, you have been awarded half point for stamina<<
>>Congratulations, you have been awarded half a point for luck<<
Chiron's stats had now become:
//FATE CHANGE SYSTEM//
>>STS<<
Rank= Nil.
Health= 90
Strength=90
Agility=80
luck= 5
Stamina= 90
Spirit energy= ??? (unusable)
Major Fate changed= Nil
Minor Fate changed=Nil
These two years of intense training had helped him see a significant increase in a major of his stats. In fact, at the young age of seven, he was stronger than a lot of people in their late teen years.
At the moment, he wore nothing but a loin cloth to cover up his groin area. His physique at seven was already that of a bodybuilding monster. His body looked like it had been cut out of stone.
However, as incredible as his achievements have been, he was not at all happy.
At first, his stats grew fast, but then somewhere along the line, it slowed down to a crawl. On top of that, the stats for luck had only been able to increase by 5 points in two years. This, in Chiron's opinion, was a terrible thing.
"Maybe it is because I have not gained any rank till now. After all, power dictates everything in this world". Chiron thought to himself. He could also feel that he had already maxed his stats for now. If he did not improve in rank, he was not going to get any stronger.
On top of that, he had not gotten any other Notification for changing Fate. Neither Major nor Minor. In Chiron's opinion, this was both a good thing and yet a bad thing.
Being awarded points meant that he could use it to further up his stats, but it also meant that trouble was about to come.
But then again, it was almost time for him to acquire Aura. He just needed to confirm one last thing to be sure.
"BIG BROTHER!!!" Nora shouted, bringing him out of his thoughts.
"Huh!" Chiron looked at the four-year-old cute sister by his side. She was pouting in anger. He was not at all giving her any attention.
He smiled as he patted her head affectionately, "I'm sorry 'Ra ra' big brother was just thinking about you, and how very, very special you are to me."
"Really!?" she asked with a skeptical look on her face.
(Note: 'Ra ra' was Chiron's nickname for Nora.)
"Of course! Why will you doubt your big brother," Chiron lifted her up and tickled her a bit.
"Okay! Okay!! I believe you! I believe you," she laughed excitedly.
Just then, from the side of his eyes, Chiron noticed a dangerous projectile whistling through the air, heading straight for Nora...
