The Legacy System

Chapter 16 - 16: First Level Up



The second training session was harder than the first, even though his muscles were heated up 30 minutes ago, so it was really difficult.

But he managed to do it, through his sheer willpower and decisiveness. ​​

And the third time was the same, too. It was getting harder and harder for this day, but he was continuing with it.

He would never stop from now on. He would keep moving forward and work hard no matter what.

Finishing his third session he was having it hard to breathe, but he was happy because really soon he would have his first daily mission completed.

With that happiness, he once again lied down on his bed, tired and sweaty, but happy at his achievement until now.

Resting for another 30 minutes he started his fourth and final session. Boy was that hard to do. He was up to his 2nd push-up and his muscles started burning like crazy.

At the same time, he could feel his arms trembling. But he didn't give up, he continued with his push-ups. His willpower was giving him all the power he needed.

When he came up to the last push-up though, he felt like his will power was not going to be enough, he might fail this.

He could do that last push-up later, but then he would be losing to himself, to the ideals he trusted. He did this session division because he was confident in himself.

If he didn't make it, then his confidence would take a huge blow.

No! He wouldn't allow such a thing to happen! Ever!

Clenching his teeth to the maximum, until he could hear cracking sounds, he gathered almost all of the power left in his body, and then made that last push-up.

Finishing that, he just fell on the floor, breathing heavily like an animal, but with a self-confident smile. Concentrating on his system, he could hear that sweet announcement.

His stats didn't increase by much, but it wasn't like he was expecting any big increase though. This was just the first day and he just did 20 push-ups.

He was puzzled by his blood-line though.

High-Human!?

What is that?

He didn't have any idea what it represented and why he had such a thing into his body, but it was useless to think about it now. It was sealed anyway.

But the good thing was that he was able to complete his first mission, and get his first level up.

What surprised him and made him happy the most though, was another notification that appeared right after his level up.

!!! Notification:

Since Host has leveled up, and entered the cultivation road, from now on Host can use Low Body Tempering Potion to temper and purify his body.

This was something great for him. He could finally start using the props of the system. While a Low Body Tempering Potion might sound like something really weak.

To someone like Eric, it was a huge blessing, he could have around 3 or 4 times more productivity in his training if he had a bath of that every night.

But taking a bath with such a precious liquid inside this house was a big No. He would never do something so stupid.

His only left choice was the Motels. There you had everything you needed for an hour that he needed to be there. He only needed a bathtub and a quiet place for an hour.

With this thought in mind, he took control over his weak self once again and started doing the squats. Even though it wasn't as hard as the push-ups it was certainly not easy.

But clenching his teeth and placing his sheer willpower to work he managed to complete even this mission.

After staying a bit more on the floor, he heard some noises in the hallway, it was his half-brother's voice. Right now it was the best moment to meet him, he was too tired of his training to do any stupid thing.

Getting up from the floor, he wore the first clothes he could find and got out on the hallway, making way towards the kitchen.

His steps looked more like he was dragging his legs because his muscles were still burning after the training, but he didn't show any whit of pain on his face.

There was more than one voice coming from the kitchen, apparently, his little half-bro had brought his friends in here.

The same friends that probably had a lot of fun with his mother, when he was not around. Entering the hall, he could see Tina cooking in there, while his brother and his friends were playing PS5 in the hall.

But while his brother was focused on his little game with one of those friends, who most likely was letting him win on purpose, the other one was looking at Tina, like he was eating her up.

Seeing Eric enter the hall, the guy was startled for a bit, but recollected himself and just kept doing what he was doing.

Eric was known to all of them as the cheap trash that Tina and Michael were keeping around the house due to their pity.

They would never pay attention to him.

But there were two people who seemed to have become uncomfortable by his presence in here.

One was his half-brother Michael, who as soon as he saw him, said in a mocking voice,

Michael:" What's up freak, you finally decided to try the light?"

His friends by his side started laughing, they didn't understand why Michael hated Eric this much, but they didn't care, and just enjoyed the show.

Eric was too tired to even answer him and just continued walking towards the open kitchen part of the house where Tina was cooking.

The second person to get uncomfortable with Eric's presence in this place was Tina. She didn't know why Eric had decided to come here, but she knew it wasn't without purpose.

She just hoped that he wouldn't show those videos to her son at the moment. She would find a way to deal with him later, but now she was totally under his control.

Seeming like he didn't care at all about this situation, Eric entered the kitchen, went to the fridge, and took out a cold left sandwich to eat.

Then he went close to Tina to take a glass so he could drink water.

Seeing him approach her, Tina asked in a low voice,

Tina:" What are you doing here? Please don't do anything stupid!"

Hearing her talk like that, Eric kept his voice down, but you could clearly notice surprise and annoyance in his voice, while he said,

Eric:" Is that a way you can talk to your Master, little pet?

Apparently, you still haven't learned your lesson and need more training, I want you in your room in 5 minutes."

Saying that he took the glass and the water, and went to sit on the other corner while eating that cold sandwich. Now he was so tired that even this sandwich appeared like a great delicacy for him.

Finishing the sandwich in a record time, he drank his glass of water, got up from his chair, and walked towards his room once again.

Seeing his brother leave like that, Michael didn't like the fact that he had been ignored earlier, and said,

Michael:" Back to your cave now Neanderthal? Or do you some other left-over too? Hahaha…"

He thought of himself as too funny at that moment, and his friends were laughing at his jokes while eyeing Tina at the corner of the kitchen.

She had a feeling that she was going to suffer a lot because of this stupid kid of hers. Because she would be the target where Eric would empty his anger.

On top of that, she had to go behind that guy in less than 5 minutes. It was sure it would be hell for her.

On the other hand, Eric didn't seem to care about his half-brother's comments, and just continued his way in the hallway towards Tina's room.

He headed directly there because no one could see him walk in the hallway. Entering her room, he looked around for her phone, but couldn't find it.

He did find an old digital camera in the room though, so taking it from its place he checked the battery and other things.

Seeing that it was all okay, he placed it in a place where it could record what happened in the bed easily, and then lied on the bed waiting for Tina's arrival.

She didn't fail him, in less than 3 minutes she was there inside the room, but as soon as she entered though, she asked with a hurryingly and worried voice,

Tina:" What can I do for you, Master!?

Please make it quick otherwise they will come here!"

Eric didn't seem hurried at all, he looked towards her, and as if truly pondering it he said,

Eric:" Well, at least your way of directing has changed, now you know how to call me.

But you know that you can't ask for something from your Master if you don't do anything to deserve it, don't you?"

Pausing for a moment, to let her process this, he continued,

Eric:" Anyway I don't have an interest in making this last either, open your phone, and give it to me."

Tina was startled what did this guy want with her phone, what was he planning now. Being surprised as she was, she said with a meek voice,

Tina:" My phone? What…"

But before she could continue she was interrupted by Eric, who said,

Eric:" You know, if you want to make this a long wait, and stay here long, I would be happy to oblige!"

He said that with a determined face and voice. Seeing that she had no other option, Tina opened her phone and handed it to him.

Taking the phone, Eric said with a dominating voice,

Eric:" Very well, now get down on all four, and keep your face at my crotch."

Tina was stunned, but there was nothing she could do, she had to. Otherwise, her son or his friends might come over, and see her do something like this.

Thinking like this she immediately got down on all four and did what she was asked to do.

While searching her phone Eric found a lot of stuff, but now was not the time for that, so he was looking at her contacts, and said in a calm and wondering voice,

Eric:" By the way…
