Chapter 7: Level up! (2/2)
He opened the inventory tab.
<Inventory>
<Description: A place where the Champion can store his items>
<Status: Locked>
<Conditions to Unlock: Reach the third level of the Magic Realm Evolutionary Stage>
The last tab he checked was the trial tab and it was the only one that wasn't locked behind a golden lock and black chains.
<Trial ”The Path towards Greatness” is ongoing>
<Do 100 press-ups>
<Do 100 Sit-up>
<Consumed: 0/2 Kg>

<Failure to complete the mission before the time limit will result in a penalty>
<You won't be able to accept a trial for a month>
<You'll be stripped of your rights and lose your qualifications as a Champion of the Northern Duke of Dark Starlight once you fail three trials in a row>
”Could I really become stronger by performing these basic exercises and eating well?”
<Yes>
Elliot spat out a dumbfounded chuckle as soon as he read the details of the trial that'll help him advance to Level 2!
He didn't hesitate a moment longer and dropped to the ground to perform the first out of the four tasks mentioned in the trial.
<You've Performed 100 push-ups>
<You've Performed 100 sit-ups>
<You've Swung a weapon 100 times>
Sometime later, once he was done with the first three tasks of the trial, Elliot found himself exhausted to the bone but he didn't stop and walked up to the mini refrigerator of his room, opened it up, and took out two parcels of chicken meat.
He couldn't afford a better quality meat.
”What should I prepare?”
Elliot shook his head.
”No time to think about it.”
He added the chicken to the pan and threw in a few spices like an expert on cooking technique and prepared himself 2 kg worth of meat.
<You've consumed 2 kg of chicken meat>
<The Trial ”The Path towards Greatness” has been completed>
<You've been rewarded ten units of the essence of life>
<You've gained enough experience to level up>
<Would you like to level up?>
These notifications popped up in front of his vision after he finished eating 2 kg of chicken meat in a single meal and burped out loud for several seconds.
”Yes!” Elliot said after burping to his heart content.
<You've reached level 2 of the magical realm evolutionary stage>
<Your magic energy capacity has increased to 20 points>
Immediately after, Elliot felt something entering his body.
The magic energy in nature was following into his body!
He hasn't felt this feeling in his entire life!
Elliot closed his eyes as warmness filled every fiber of his being, and it was only after a few minutes that this otherworldly feeling vanished without a trace.
<Magic energy: 20/20 units>
”Hahahahahahah!”
Elliot laughed so hard that tears started to stream down the corners of his eyes.
