Chapter 7: This past month.

Author: Thank you so much for continuing to read my work! First off I would like to state something. *Cough* He is a virtual reality....I am a virtual reality character in Azif'Nazet. A game designed for freedom of play. However because it is a game players can't spend a lot of time in a game. Thus games make it easy for players to train in level up. This game is no exception players in this game have a natural ability to process and learn information. Weather they realize it or not is a whole new matter. Therefore the speed at which my character is advancing is fair, I think. Learning acrobatics or combat abilities. However I also understand that with a 16 : 1 ratio this eliminates a lot of the problems pertaining to time. The fact of the matter is though; the ability to learn faster is still in effect. Now onto the Second thing I wanted to talk about. I will not be doing stat windows during chapters or pop ups. This is for two reasons.... three reasons. One, The player himself s stat windows are being blocked. Two, If I were to do stat windows I would have to cut out a little bit of my story to work on the stats. To be honest not sure how to make stats completely balanced nor what great items or abilities to be gained... So just winging it. Sorry. Third reason is, Did you see the coding to make a stat window? I had to squint my eyes trying to filter through that crap. Therefore I am to much of a bitch to do it, again I apologize for it. I will however do a separate thing like the stat window test that made Chapter 0, 1, and 6. That may happen every once in awhile when the comments ask for them, but please remember I am fully winging it on that as well. I need structure in my life. However isn't it more interesting like this? It makes it pretty fun for me. Well any who Enjoy the chapter!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She wakes me up once again. This time I am more ready for it. I wake up a little less drowsily. I start to do the stretches and calisthenics that we did yesterday we did two reps of 50 today. I was sweating buckets at the end of them, but strangely I could do them. I was only barely able to do 1 set yesterday. The rate of my improvement is astonishing.

Next up was forms. I started to head over the table to grab my weapons before I had a brilliant idea. I needed to train my magic. So I decided since I can create a ball of shadows. Why can't I make some weapons from magic? So I focus my mind and imagined my dagger in my right hand and the karambit in my left. I was easily able to manage the image since I trained with them. I then covered them with magic and inputted the command of it to act like regular weapons. Seemingly it worked.

I had wooden weapons in my hand that gave off a little bit of a blue color. Weird unlike with my globe of darkness or with the Orb of shadows that I cast yesterday. This feels like it is constantly using a small amount of mana to maintain. Perfect! I can slowly drain and use my mana like this! I originally planned to try and use my magic as some sort of buff on myself. To drain my mana after creating the weapons, but this works as well.

I move the backpack of herbs closer to where we are training forms. That way when I start feeling the negative effects of mana, I can have my fix. She looks impressed at the creation I made.

Alice: "Surprisingly that will work. Guess I should use it that way as well." She then puts her wooden weapons down next to the backpack. Then I blinked and somehow she had the weapons in her hand again. No, there is now two sets in an instant she created them. I am definitely jealous mine took a little bit to imagine and make, but hers was just there.

After 23 minutes of practicing the forms I feel the effects of being low on mana. I quickly pop a couple of the herbs into my mouth and feel better. I continue this about two more times. Then finally Alice reaches in and takes some of the herbs as well.

Dremal: "HOLY MOTHER OF .... How much difference is there in mana? We are both level one right? I can only last about 23- 25 minutes per, but you lasted around 75 minutes."

Alice: "The difference is because I know how to control my mana for one. The other reason being is I trained it all day everyday since we got here. I have been using it as a strengthening buff on myself. Which is why I could jump so high even with my times 4 gravity going."

Dremal: "Times 4 my god. Your such a cheat character."

Alice: "I guess I am your god... goddess since you are in my Azif'Nazet, so yes. Since I am a goddess of course I am a cheat character."

Shit I need to catch up at least a little. This renews my vigor once again. I go at the forms until breakfast time. Then we deactivated our weapons. I went and made breakfast once again under her supervision. After eating breakfast we went for our sparing match.

We both created our weapons mine takes about 1 and a half of focus to make. Hers being still instant. The moment our blades first clashed they had a spark about them. Then I feel a big portion of my mana got drained. Then I try to hit she parries. The parry made contact and I collapsed to the floor with the blades being deactivated. I don't really wanna fight. I don't have the ability to catch up. Why me? I mumble.

She walks over and grabs some herbs and shoves then in my mouth. Soon I recover feeling better. She tells me not to remake the blades when training against her. Other wise it would just take to long. So I grabbed the wooden ones and came back over.

Alice: "Still I want you to train your magic. So I am going to teach you a nice buff. Be thankful! Focus the magic to your eyes and around them. The command should be to reinforce them. This will allow you to not only be able to protect your eyes from damage. They also give you better vision including kinetic vision."

I do as she says and my eyes can see a whole lot more details. Like I can see the clear liquid of sweat that is on the black floor. Before it was just blended in. Sweetness! We begin training after I got used to the new eyes. Buffs apparently have the same effects as the weapons it slowly drains my mana.

When we begin doing our forms it seems she wants to start super slow. So I also go super slow. That was a mistake. Thhhwaak! I was hit pretty hard by her blow not only that, but it did a shock-wave type effect on me it hurt and flung me back about 10 ft.

Dremal: "What the hell you were going super slow. So I went slow, but I couldn't keep up?!"

Alice: "That is the strengthened Kinetic Vision I was talking about. You can see things as if they were going slower. You must quickly readjust yourself to this." She then walks over to the back and takes some more herbs.

We started up again after awhile I finally got into the grove of it. Then it seems my vision returned to normal. We continued going at it. After a little longer I was feeling the effects of low mana. So I jumped back dodging one of her swings.

Dremal: "Weird I thought it canceled on its own, but I can feel the effects of low mana."

Alice: "That is because we were speeding up that fast. Did you really not notice how fast we were doing those form movements?"

Eating some herbs then I said "Well I noticed you were speeding up, but then all of a sudden it took a big jump. It then went into what seemed to be the normal rate I saw. So I thought my spell wore off." She also eats some herbs. She has been taking them about the same rate as me. Guess the burden of mana drain doing attacks with those weapons are high.

We continued sparring until lunch time in this manner. After eating lunch we went to combat training. This time the number of golems were 10 in 5 groups sets of 2 each. They were surprisingly easy mostly because I assassinate the first one at least when it comes in. Alice doesn't seem to mind or care.

After killing all the golems for the day. Since we were working on magic all day we didn't need to do a magic lesson. However she told me that I she would teach me a new spell every day at this time at least. To increase my repertoire of spells and imagination of things I could cast. (Not going to explain each spell he learns it would just make a big list and you guys filing complaints that he be to OP =p just remember though he does have a magic limit and there are spells he cannot cast... yet)

So after learning one new spell she tells me the rest of the time will be devoted to agility training. I was to do back flips again until dinner time. While she went off and did her own training. After making and eating dinner she tells me we are going to do aerial training now. Gonna learn the good old double jump....?

She laughed and told me I could probably do something similar with magic when I get enough mana. The fact being double jump cant really be done with just physical capabilities. She also told that when I get enough mana instead of using it for a measly double jump. I should use it for Fly, Levitate, or Feather Fall.

So instead we are working on physical abilities. She tells me to cast a buff to strengthen the legs and I do just that. Then I was told to jump up in which case I jumped with as much strength as I could. Fuck yeah! I reached a height of about 50 ft even with my times 3 gravity. I am totally boss right now. I was feeling great till I see her jump to about 200 ft up. That is a really rough guess not sure on actual facts. This also applies to my own estimate of my jump. Shit though... she is under times 4 gravity by what she says.

Her magic manipulation is so much better than mine. Plus she doesn't have to sleep! I land then wait for the couple seconds later when she lands. We both didn't take any damage from jumping that high. This time she says we have to jump the same height so we can do an aerial battle.

When we were jumping around I felt amazing as if I was on the moon. Not that I have ever been there, but it certainly is like I would imagine. The force of our blows normally ends up with me being knocked away. She was also jumping just slightly over me doing a front flip and attacking my back. In which case I barely managed to block by turning my body. Still I ended up getting blasted away, but I took no damage.

Our aerial battles was quite fun with each clash we were both doing something different. Resting every once in a while when our stamina and mana were low. Soon enough I started trying to use her force of blow to spring back doing a back flip before landing. I mess up landing on my back or butt a few times, but soon enough I found a good rhythm for it. Landing like that is quite fulfilling.

Around 11 o clock is when we stop I go take a shower then go to bed. This whole regime continues onward for about a month with the level of golems and the number of them attacking me increases every day. My skills at cooking have definitely gotten much, much better. I can now make many different meals without her help now. The number of dishes I can make on my own number 7 different breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. For a grand total of 21 dishes. Woot! I was also taught how to tumble, somersault, and fall properly. The back flips I have utilized every day so that is actually one of my better agility skills.

I am not trying to say I don't tumble and somersault and fall properly all the time. No if fact I use them quite a lot in the aerial battles and the battles against the golems. Needless to say though I use back flips the most now. It is a very useful ability in a lot of different situations. The reps we do of our morning calisthenics have increase to 50. Which actually takes a bit of time to complete.

We also never seemed to empty out my backpack of herbs. Every morning it has been refilled. I guess Alice does it while I am asleep. Speaking of sleep. I no longer need Alice to wake me up. My body has completely adjusted to the new time schedule.

What else is there. Ah yes, the forms. We have implemented movement into them so maintaining our speed of attack and defense while moving around. Then it got more advanced as we started jumping around doing them. After fighting her for so long we were able to do this as one simple being. Both jump the same height at the same time attack with the same power defend with the same power. A push and pull effect was made when competing like this. Yin and Yang we complemented each other. (Author: Lol just realized after saying this. There hair is respectively White and Black. Thus they really are Yin and Yang.)

Ahem! Sorry got off track a bit. I realized I didn't fully explain the golem situation. So here you go a list of levels and numbers that I fought. I won't give the full details of the fights, but here is the stats.

Golems:

Day 7: Level 9 Numbers 21 in 3 groups

(That one was really, really rough had to use every thing I had to win)

Day 8: Level 10 Numbers 24 in 4 groups

(I almost lost on this one so this was my limit I guess for a bit)

Day 9: Level 10 Numbers 25 in 5 groups

Day 29: Level 15 Numbers 20 in 2 groups

Day 30: Level 20 Numbers 1 in 1 group

(That was yesterday one of the worst times in my life. Still not as bad as the torture I went through. Also yes, yes I did beat it!)

Now it has been 1 month since I started training with Alice. She says we are ready to move onto the next stage now. She begins walking out after I collect my bag and my starting clothes. She told me to put them back since we will be coming back here to take showers, baths, and food. So I did.

I still had my backpack with me though. When we begin walking to the exit. I noticed the wooden doorknob off to the side of the sliding automatic door.

Dremal: "What is that doorknob for if the door is automatic?"

Alice: "If you turn it to the left the doorway will change to exit out into the cabin. All front doors in my sandbox have that capability."

Dremal: "Ah, so that is how I get out of here. I have secretly been wondering about that for a while now."

She does not turn the handle though just walks out the automatic door. Then we turn left heading down the road made out of some kind of stone. I don't know what it is though. It is very smooth and is light blue in color. We continue down this road until I see what seems to be my next hell.

Alice when she sees my face gives that devilish smile again. I think she enjoys the sufferings of others.

Alice: "Welcome this is the next place for your survival training. I call it......"
