Chapter 24: SysDi 24: Evan’s Preparation
When the morning came around, Evan woke up with a single thought it mind: follow his self-made guide starting today until before the day of the Entrance Exams.
His self-made guide includes the following:
First, finish his routines. He’ll never forget that because his family still needs to live. The corns are almost ready for harvest. He needs to check on those. Not to mention the berries for jam.
Second, the jam. Having his mom’s approval, he can make the jams now that he can send Sylvia when he’s done making them. They had already talked about it the night before. There was some reluctance from Sylvia before she agrees in the end. So now, Evan is getting the berries, making the jam, and sending it to the market for his mom to sell.
Third, sword training. He had been following what the book told him to. But following didn’t mean he’s a master with it yet. He knows the forms, but he still need to train more to make sure that every form is like second nature.
Fourth, exploration. He could either go and explore in the stone hill cave, or he can start exploring the other things he had gotten access to in his status panel. Besides, he also has the Void ability that he wanted to try out in a more controlled space where he’s not actively about to die.
Fifth, reading. A lot of people may think that reading is boring and Evan did too. However, after getting the watch, he found out that books do contain a lot of knowledge not being taught practically by his parents. He had gotten plenty of new ideas from them. He knows that if he keeps reading, it will be much easier for him to understand the abilities that the watch has given him. He’s not going to say no from more knowledge.
Sixth, the Simulation Zone. He still needed to train more of his control with it. Iva kept telling him that he couldn’t cancel the zone midway during a conditional moment. Evan had no idea what that means. But what it said only translated that he’s either not strong enough or that he still doesn’t have a better control.
And finally, seventh, meditation. This would go in between each of the guides. Evan still didn’t know if it is helping him in the long-run. In the short bursts of rest does help him though. If he is a little tired, he was able to use meditation to replenish either physical or mental exhaustion. So, even for temporary relief, it was still helpful.
