Taking a look at my stats, I saw them increase by a bit in the last 4 days. While I was doing a little to nothing but exercising in the last 4 days, Caroline and Alex had already gotten along with most of the survivors here.
The kids were trying to pick on Alex first, but with his strength, he easily took them down, becoming the leader of his small group. I did scold him later in private about how he should be more careful in using his newfound powers or people will be more than just injured by him. Though I doubt he would listen to me.
As for Caroline, everyone was behaving nicely with her as she had been actively helping everyone out here, all because of her own moral consciousness. Some men had been ogling her, but since they didn\'t do anything further other than give her a bit of a stare, I didn\'t do anything… except threaten them politely a couple of times using a knife and a smile.
As for White, he had been strangely observing me a lot. Though, since he has helped me out whenever I asked him to, I don\'t mind him hovering around me.
As for George and the others, they went on to the top on the very first day and checked out the condition. They seemed to be talking about a mechanical power generator which should be present in the gym at the top, and ever since then, I had been trying to avoid them whenever I could.
Currently, I was on the 35th floor in front of the gate that blocked the entry of the zombies and was observing the time left before it breaks.
[1 day: 20 hours: 34 minutes]
The banging sound kept coming from the front and afterwsrds I looked at the daily quests which I need to do,
[Push up: 1000/1000 Completed]
[Pull ups: 1000/1000 Completed]
[Run 100/100 miles Completed]
[Sit-ups: 0/1000 Reward: +500 Exp]
[Bonus for completing all Daily quests: +1 Random Stat]
Then I looked at my exp bar, almost completely filled up before it upgraded to the next level.
[Level: 8 (24505/25000 Exp)]
"Hupp… let\'s start then… 1… 2.. 3…" And just like that, I began doing the daily requisite of sit-ups before I got lost in doing the exercise. Though after some time, I heard someone walking towards me.
I stopped doing the sit-ups and turned around to see George and White walking towards me with a sighing look.
[Sit-Ups: 689/1000 Reward: +500 Exp]
George was kind of surprised and in disbelief as he looked at me before he spoke,"how much do you love exercising… No, forget about that, just how much strength do you hold to do that many sets at once?"
"Just drink a glass of milk every day in the morning," I joked as I wiped the sweat off my forehead and George chuckled before looking at the gate behind me.
"We are thinking of putting another barricade in case this one breaks," George said as he looked at me and I pondered over it.
\'It\'s a wise move but in the end we are just cornering ourselves,\' I thought and White spoke up,
"It\'s a nice move, but in the end, we are just cornering ourselves."
I nodded at him, being blunt here, but he was right… I looked at George before speaking,"going up and waiting for help is… honestly… not something I am in favor with."
George just smiled as he looked at me,"you are talking as if we have any options here."
"Give me a few hours to finish my exercise and maybe I can find a way out of this situation," I said, pondering if I can get something from the System on the next level that might get us out of here.
"What\'s it got to do with your exercise-" George wanted to say something but White interrupted,"are you sure you can?"
I looked at White, who was intently observing me, and I nodded at him as I spoke,"yeah… I believe I can think of something. Just let me finish this set."
Hearing that, White then took George away from here and I looked at them departing. White probably has an idea that everything I do, no matter how nonsensical, is actually with a motive.
Well, since he respects my privacy and didn\'t ask me anything about it directly, I am going to trust him as well. Might as well tell him about the System as well… but that is after we escape from this building. I still don\'t trust him enough yet.
"Now… onto my daily quest," I muttered before beginning to exercise again.
And soon enough…
[1000/1000 Sit-ups Completed!]

[Wisdom +1]

[New skill unlocked: Return Point]
\'Hmmm… Return Point? What kind of ability is that?\' I thought as I looked at that ability before opening up and…
[Return Point (Level 1)
Effect: Allows the user to save a point in the present time and return to that position using Time Points.
Limit: The density of the user should be more than 2 times more than the object placed at that point where the user wants to return.
Cost: Distance in meters/ 10 TP]
\'Another broken ability!\' I just blankly looked at that ability that I had received this time. Compared to the previous abilities I got, this one was the most absurd.
"But with this… I think I can deal with the Zombies down there," I muttered, with a slight grin forming on my face.
