Axel was surprised to see his body's information in real time status, he even found some things he didn't know about himself.

He squint his eyes as he look at his battle power and sighed embarrassed to only see less than 1.

He looked up with shining eyes of determination."To get stronger."He said with conviction as he pumped his fist in the air with excitement.

Then Axel went silent, he just remembered something important, how does he get started in getting stronger, he tilt his head in wonder.

Axel looked around and also remembered that he couldn't get out, but as he thought of this he heard something.

.""~Haha go back down the corridor to the hole little Axel~"".

The voice he heard sounded like a sweet whisper, Axel nodded and smiled as he began walking down the corridor, he knows who the voice belonged to after all.

He glanced up."Thank you mama."He said as he walked down the corridor and arrived at another staircase leading up to the hole, he knew those stairs weren't there before.

He went up the stairs and he was back in the forest where he fell on the root, lookin around at the forest once again specifically in the direction of the village he released a sad sigh and turned away.

He gazed up at the moon and saw that it was high up in the sky.

Without turning around Axel clenched his fist and grinded his teeth."Don't worry everyone, I'll get revenge for you in the future, with my own hands, thank you."He wipe some tears from his eye while saying this, he just couldn't help it, it was just too sudden of a situation.

With that he took off through the forest in the opposite direction of the village as he thought of what to do first, he doesn't even know how to begin his training to get strong.

*Grumble*

."ah, something to eat."After going for two hours his belly grumbled grumpily in frustration as a reminder to him that he didn't eat anything since yesterday.

He looked up at the beautiful green trees around him to see if any of them had fruit he could eat, at least till he reached another village.

For over 10 minutes he searched but yet he couldn't find anything, in his frustration he just sat down backing a trees.

*Bop*

.""Ahh!"".

As he was sitting by a tree he was suddenly bonked on the head by something, he got up quickly rubbing his head in slight pain as tears gathered in his eyes.

."What the, what was that!."Axel said as he rubbed his head, he looked at the object that hit him with a raised eyebrow, he came closer and saw an apple."Where did this apple come from???."

He looked up with suspicion as they weren't any apple trees nearby, he already checked so where did this come from, he scratched his head.

.""~You're welcome~"".

He then for the first time realized that he wasn't alone and he would never be, he had his mother with him always.

He bent down and picked up the apple, dusted it off and bit into it closing his eyes to appreciate the taste."It sweet thanks mama."He opened his eyes and said while smiling and resumed his walk.

Axel is thinking now what to do with the training, but one thing, should he train in the forest before going out, he had long realized his mother was protecting him from the wild beast as he hadn't seen any in this many hours.

So he thought it would be a waste to leave this protection so soon, as he can use this as an opportunity to train in peace under the watchful eye of his mother and the disguise of the forest from others.

He looked up and said."Ma'ma."He paused and waited for a reply and almost instantly it came."

.""~Yes my little baby, need ma'ma~?"".

Axel smiled at the quick answer."I don't know how to begin my training to get strong, what should I do."He said.

He really had no idea where to begin, the only references he had were the village warriors who only did sword sparing, push ups and lift heavy rock and were as a result extremely bulky.

He didn't want to be bulky like them, they were strong to him but they looked disgusting to watch especially when they try to smile.

He felt a shiver down his spine just thinking about it, he then heard his mother speaking.

.""~Mmm I just checked for something from the other mortals, I've never trained so I never paid attention, from what I could find out from looking at other's, they are many ways to get stronger do you want to hear them all are do you want me to pick them out~."

Axel hearing his mother went into thought, what should he do, since his mother never trained before, would she know what's better for him in terms of training, he's thinking that he should see them all maybe even to get a good reference as to what real training looks like, he seriously doubt what the village warriors did was actually training.

He decided he will see all of them, he looked up at nothing in particular."Tell me all of them ma'ma, I want to see the general ways of training of the outside world."He said eagerly.

.""~Alright sweetie, listen closely, first way is just physical training, some people develop their own physical training regiment to get stronger, these are people that mostly rely on physical strength~"".

.""~This way is closely related to eating alot of meat and drinking lots of water, hey you still listening~?".

He heard his mother ask him if he was still listening, she probably thought he had grown bored by now."Yes ma'ma, I'm still listening, you can continue."He said reassuringly.

So she did.

.""~Alright, Mm where was I, oh yeah, the next training way is more about weapons and the mind, the body is last, it is also trained thought in a different~"".

.""~They train the mind through meditation which is closing the eyes and trying to stop thinking and just focus on the body, put their body through physical torture by letting themselves be beaten, or going against me, nature, like using my lightning to strengthen themselves, sitting in raging waves, things like that they call it martial way, fighting against the natural way of things I guess."

.""~Mm Maybe I should put the images of the different mortals training in your mind, so you would get a visual reference of what you have to do, I'll do it, here~"".

Axel then saw many bits of imagery pass through his mind, it was so profound that he couldn't even believe it, he saw people taking lightning strikes with just their body.

Armies of soldiers who look invincible getting butchered like chickens by a single man only using his fist.

Groups of people in the thousands getting training by a group of seven figures, the group of people were balancing on their fingers standing as still as trees.

He saw many other things like that and the techniques and explanations of them all, it took him a few seconds to come back to his senses, then he heard his mother continuing.

.""~The last way is the most silly to me, it is through a blessing from a divine being, through this blessing one would gain the title 'Blessed One' and one could gain access to a bit of magic or what mortals call Divine Power~"".

.""~Now little Axel, don't even think of it, a blessing is an illusion, though it does help mortals become stronger fast and even sometimes give them special abilities, it is more of a borrowed power than their own~"".

.""~They do not know that at anytime the god's can take back their blessings and along with all the power you have accumulated leaving them with nothing and everything going to that god, hahaha how silly of mortasl to be so gullible~"".

Axel hearing all the ways were surprised especially at the last thing."Ma'ma, are they alot of people with blessings of God's in the world?".He was really curious, if yes, this was going to be a problem, he would have to watch his back carefully especially if they can grow stronger faster how can he keep up.

.""~Well as far as I can sense, they are not many, it also seems like most mortals with blessing usually have a very high position in your mortal society~"".

.""~I Currently only sense 900 of them, mostly in the churches it seems like, also you don't have to worry as my child you have the highest talents in everything~"".

.""~Their mere blessings are not worth your worry, ma'ma is gonna go now till you reach the top of the list of power I've shown you before~"".

.""~Don't worry about the protection I am the world's consciousness, this forest will protect you as long as you remain here and food will come at you also, just watch out for them, oh yeah and a place for you to bathe and changes of clothes will be provided in here, now anyways, bye bye ma'ma loves you *Invisible kiss*~"".

Axel nodded his head at her voice."Bye ma'ma."He said, then he thought about what she said, what is the best way for him to train.

He could see how it could be complicated to join them all together, but his mother said he is the most talent so he should try them all to get a feel and then create his own training regiment, that information in the imagery is quite frightening.

He wanted to start off small, with his small body he shouldn't try to stress it too much as he seen from the images, so he started off with...

Push ups ."1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 16 ha ha ha."

Axel tried his hardest to do more but he reached his limit at 16 and couldn't do anymore, he layed on the ground breathing heavily, it seems this will be much harder then he thought.

After giving himself a few minutes to catch his breath he started the other exercise with...

Sit ups."1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 25, 38, 39, 41, 42 Ah ha ha ha ha."

He had once again reached his limit he did alot better in this than the push ups, he got 42 as his limit and also got some cramp in his stomach so he had to rest again.

After resting again, he went on to do 200 jumping Jack's, 30 squats and looked for a place to do some running, he couldn't find a true clearing but he could use the trees to training in controlling his speed and his dodging skills.

He ran for 30 minutes through the trees dodging them, some he ran into, but for the most part he got the hang of it quickly and felt an accomplishment as he drop to the ground panting heavily, sweat coated his body.

He decided it was time to call it a day and went to freshen up in the little pond his mother made for him to bathe, she even placed fresh clothes for him.

He didn't really know where to sleep, so he just sat against a tree looking up at the moon before closing his eyes and going into a deep sleep.

Today was the first day in his short life he had trained so it was extremely taxing for him.

As he slept what he didn't know was that the tree he leaned up against wrapped him in its roots and pulled him inside itself to shield him from the cold.
