[Congratulations! Your <Minor Sword Mastery> and <Sword Aura> upgraded from Stage-1 to Stage-2.]

[Congratulations! You gained the Mastery Perk <Sword Aura Extension> by reaching Stage-2<Sword Aura>.]

[Congratulations! You have met 1 of the three requirements for Tier-2 Evolution.]

[Congratulations! You received an Achievement Title, <Training Maniac-I>]

[A new section for Achievement Titles got added to your <STATUS>.]

I was able to understand some important information from the new notifications that popped up.

First of all, my Stage-1<Sword Aura> Upgraded into a Stage-2<Sword Aura>, and even though I was eager to check it out, I could barely move in that condition of Low Stamina.

[Stamina: 3/65]

Second, by achieving Stage-2<Sword Aura>, (Lv.11 - Lv.20)<Sword Aura> and Stage-2 Sword Mastery (Lv.11 - Lv.20)<Minor Sword Mastery>, I even fulfilled one requirement to undergo Tier 2 Evolution.

Third, the Evolution to Tier-2 will occur when trying to reach Lv.11 by crossing Lv.10, and I also need 1 Uncommon Achievement Title and 3 Common Achievement Titles for Tier-2 Evolution.

Finally, to find out more about Achievement Titles, I opened my Status tab and found a new section in it.

_____________________

[Achievement Title]:

<Training Maniac-I> (Common)

Effect: Endurance+5°

_____________________

After looking at the Training Maniac-I Achievement Title and the Stats added through Achievement Title, there was a " ° " symbol.

I received another notification above the Status tab.

[Do you wish to activate the Achievement Title, <Training Maniac-I>?]

I gladly accepted it, and in the exact moment, where I laid on the ground with complete exhaustion, what I needed the most was Endurance.

[Warning: Sudden increase of 5° Stats in Endurance causes severe pain.]

[Do you wish to proceed in Safety mode?]

[In Safety Mode, Stats will get added periodically so that your body can easily adjust to its improvements.]

I selected Safe Mode as I felt it was not worth experiencing extreme pain since it was not critical to immediately needed Stats.

[Endurance: 13 ➝ 14]

[Stamina: 8/70]

I felt my body becoming sturdier, and along with that, my Stamina also increased by 5 points.

With the recovered Stamina, I plodded the bushes at the entrance and looked outside.

The Sunlight was still there, and it was even brighter; I placed my hand within the sunlight, and the shadow was slightly below, showing that it was a little past afternoon.

The new revelation baffled me and inwardly wondered to myself, 'Just how many hours are there in this place for a day to complete?'

As there was nothing I could do about it, I pulled my Mini trekking bag to use it as a pillow and went into a deep sleep.

**********

Just as I woke up, what greeted me was a notification.

[Endurance: 14 ➝ 18]

[Stamina: 90/90]

I mentally swiped them off and checked the time on the top left of my vision.

[ALPHA Program, Day - 1, Time - 18:04:11]

I slept for nearly 4 hours, and it's been 18 hours since I got teleported. Because of all the heat, I wasn't able to sleep properly.

I felt a drastic change in my body became even sturdier, but it didn't show much of a change in my appearance.

Because of an increase in Endurance Attribute, even when I only slept for 4 hours, I felt refreshed, but the problem was that my body took a toll from the increase in my constitution, and that caused my stomach to let out a hungry roar.

I started eating food ravenously like I had been starving for a few days, and without realizing, I almost depleted all of my food items.

Then I went out and search for alternative food and water sources. For that, I need to prepare myself for any encounter with monsters.

So, I checked the Weapon Mastery section in my Status tab for the <Sword Aura>.

STAGE 1 (Lv.1 - Lv.10) - Lv.1 <Minor Dagger Mastery> - Lv.1 <Dagger Aura> (Locked)

STAGE 2 (Lv.11 - Lv.20) - Lv.11 <Minor Sword Mastery> - Lv.11 <Sword Aura> - <Sword Aura Extension>

__________________________________

[Lv.11<Sword Aura>: Damage Output increases by 110% when used on Sword Spirit Item. Cost: 11 Spirit Energy per minute.]

[<Sword Aura Extension> - The Sword Aura becomes sharper as it extends beyond the Sword and the overall Damage output increases by 2 fold. Cost: 11 Spirit Energy per Second.]

After noticing the description of Stage-2<Sword Aura>, I tried out using it on my <Rusted Short Sword>, and a Cyan coloured aura started flowing on it.

With <Sword Aura> reaching Stage-2, my control over the sword aura increased to an even higher level.

I tried to use the <Sword Aura Extension>, and an even sharper Cyan coloured Aura appeared, and it extended beyond the Sword tip and the <Rusty Short Sword>, which was a half meter long, looked like it became one and a half meters long.

The <Sword Aura Extension> doubles the already increased overall damage, including the additional damage from <Sword Aura>.

When used in combat as a surprise attack, it can be quite deadly!

The problem was it consumes a lot of Spirit Energy and even affects Stamina.

Once again, I received a notification saying that Rusty Short Sword's Durability decreased, and this time it even reduced by 3 points at once.

Even my Stamina and Spirit Energy decreased by 5 points and 11points, respectively.

[Durability: 37/100 ➝ 34/100]

[Spirit Energy: 40/40 ➝ 29/40]

[Stamina: 90/90 ➝ 85/90]

I deactivated the <Sword Aura>, and I waited for 15 minutes to recover my Stamina and Spirit Energy.

Meanwhile, I changed my clothes, took out the Boxing wraps from my bag, and tied them around my knuckles and wrist to have a better grip while holding the Rusted Short Sword.

When I get injured, I could even use boxing wraps like a bandage to stop bleeding.

I prepared myself to forage the surrounding area in search of any alternatives for food and water sources.

Before going out, I checked my <Status> tab.
