Chapter 31: Leveling Up
Still charged with mana, he went to the gym and began his workout.
Absorbing it had already enhanced his strength, but training helped burn off the excess and pushed his body even further.

He started with heavy bench presses—more weight than most pros could handle.
Then came squats, deadlifts, shoulder presses, and pull-ups.
Each one hit different muscle groups, keeping the pressure up with almost no rest.
’That felt good,’ he let out a deep breath.
’Funny how this old-school workout still works after all these years. If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.’
After finishing, he stepped into the public shower and let hot water wash away sweat and tension.
When he came out, a tall woman caught his eye. She was tying up her silver hair in the mirror.
