My theory was simple. What would happen if all of my stats would be the same ?
Hidden quest with a harder challenge and with better rewards; obviously.
I told Jim about it last week and he felt that it would be too hard for him and that I should try. He also told me that it would be super hard for me to achieve that since I needed 3 on each stat to make it. Now, we had the same conversation but with a bit more knowledge. He told me that I would actually make it soon to my goal if I trained hard enough and that I should think about this choice a lot because I could die.
So I thought. And I thought.
I think I used my whole mind since I started getting a headache. I felt that I would die anyway if I failed. I knew I was weak. People kept posting videos about their road to greatness. Some had their strength to 5 while I was struggling at 2.6 with the title boost.
A bit more than half. I knew that tomorrow would be another strength focused day.
The days passed with little to no change in terms of difference. Wake up, eat, do nothing, eat, gym, eat and sleep. For 6 days this was our routine for us two. Jim decide to let his stamina be lacking since everybody in the whole world determined that it would be the safest challenge. I respected his choice and kept on chasing mine. I reached the 3 stat points in every stat, but because of my brain overworking by thinking of each possibility of some hidden quest I got a notification for intelligence. So I still had to train the three other stats.
About that, I still didn't tell you how to train each stat right. For strength, you needed to do some normal pushing and pulling with each muscle. For stamina, it was about doing something medium for a long time like walking or jogging for 30 minutes. Agility was two stats combined apparently. Dexterity and speed. You need to train both to get the 0.1 bonus. Like doing leg training and small mouvement exercises. For intelligence, it was complicated. You needed to learn something new that is useful or train mentally for some time like doing a hard chess match or going to school.
On Jim's side, he was doing the dating stuff with Anna. He first made her think that we would go to a movie talking about a guy's experience in the practice round and that she should join us. He then made me fake being traumatized so I couldn't go. I financed the whole thing as always. Then he told her about an aquarium visit discount and asked her to go with him. She accepted. Then they went to another movie. This one was of the horror type. Today, Jim was going to ask out Anna to a real classy restaurant date. I begged him not to since we would be eating only noodles for a long time if he did. He didn't listen and started week 3 by asking her.
"I'll only accept if we both survive the death game.", she replied with a beautiful death flag.
I had to admit that she made Jim train 3 times harder for week 3 and that made me indirectly train the same way. That arrogance had to stop.
We were also really running low on food money. We had approximatively 2 weeks left of healthy food to buy. But if the date happened just 4 days were left. I waited until Jim wanted to drink water and grabbed his arm. I told him to make a bet with her that his nephew could lift more than himself for a free dinner. He argumented, but I explained that she'll think it's a joke and that it was funny. I didn't explain that I simply wanted to get some of our money investment on his relation back. He accepted thanks to my mind manipulation. I mean, I'm a good liar. A part of my revenge was done because that would surely lose him some affection points.
"Yo, Anna."
-"Yes?"
"Do you want to make a bet?"
-"It depends."
"I bet you that my nephew is apparently stronger than me."
-"Oh, than I'll accept."
"If I win, he gets.....a free dinner from you for a reason."
"Okay."
She fell for the fake bet bait. Excellent, he will surely get her shocked. We did multiple stuff like arm wrestling and some weights. And I won by a milimeter each time. I felt that my title was finally used. Don't underestimate an in love men, Jim was almost as strong as a titled one after his training. I got the win and went to a healthy fast food and I asked for a big meal that two men could probably eat. She paid and the look she gave Jim was abysmal. He didn't even notice it. I put the meal in a plastic bag and told her that I would eat at home. In our apartment, both me and Jim ate it like carnivors. He didn't want to at first, but when I explained that I wouldn't pay for norhing else he started eating.
6 days passed full of bad faces from Anna, it was probably her first time paying for a men with her looks.
It was finally time to check my progress and show you my choice.
