Chapter 6: 06 - Finally the Day!



Chapter 6: 06 - Finally the Day!

I set my cell phone to wake up at 04:50, just like yesterday, and to my surprise, I woke up without any sleep at all!

Not only was I sleepless, but I didn't feel any pain in my body, as if my body had returned to its peak state after sleeping!

Is this the Game Body?' I wondered, remembering how authors used it in the fanfics I read in my previous world, but since there was no skill with that name, I wouldn't be stupid enough to try to cut myself and see how my body would react.

Putting on some gym clothes, I went downstairs to have breakfast and saw my father looking at me with an excited smile from the kitchen.

I looked at the table and saw two plates of toast, eggs, bacon and two cups of coffee, one of which was probably for me.

-------- Jonathan's Comment --------

At this point, Jonathan had a huge smile on his face as he sat comfortably on the sofa and looked into the camera.

"I was nervous when I was waiting for Noah to come and have breakfast with me and he didn't show up, but after 5 minutes he did haha!" he said happily as he laughed. He said happily as he laughed. "I would have been really sad if I had made extra toast for him and he hadn't come to eat, but I wouldn't have blamed him since he hadn't even promised to come back."

"But I was very happy to see him anyway." Jonathan said excitedly.

-------- Comment End --------

"Good morning, Champ!" my dad said with a big smile. "I've already made you breakfast, since you train twice a day, I also made you some eggs and bacon, protein is very important!"

Seeing his concern really touched me. My previous father had never done anything like this for me... not even on my birthday...

I replied with a smile as I sat down in front of him. "Good morning, Dad."

Just like yesterday, the two of us just ate in silence, but instead of yesterday when we were uncomfortable and didn't know what to say, today we just enjoyed the silence and ate relaxed.

When I'd finished, I took our plates and glasses and washed them before going for my walk.

Unlike yesterday, I didn't have a mission today, but I didn't worry about that, I made my own mission today.

Today I'm going to walk 5 km in 1 hour. I thought resolutely as I started to run.

My current Constitution level was 60% higher than yesterday's, so since yesterday I ran 3 kilometers with 3 Constitution points, today that I have 5 Constitution points, I want to run 5 kilometers!

As soon as I started, I felt that it was really taking too long for me to get tired.

Within 14 minutes, the first message appeared.

[Walk Lv 2]

...

Within 30 minutes, another message appeared.

[Walk Lv 3]

...

Another message appeared in 47 minutes.

[Walk Lv 4].

...

Another message appeared in 56 minutes.

[+1 CON]

...

In 61 minutes, I'd finally walked the 5 km I'd been aiming for!

Even though it took me 1 minute longer than planned, I was very happy!

Just like yesterday, I was really tired, so I just lay down on the grass and let my body and head rest.

My Buff was also updated!

[Aerobic Exercise Lv 2: Performing aerobic exercise increases the user's metabolism speed by 2% for 24 hours].

After a few minutes, I finished walking the few meters to my house and took a shower before everyone woke up.

When I weighed myself, I was surprised to see my new weight!

From 148.6kg I was down to 147.7kg! A loss of 900g since the last time!

Of course, I didn't lose all of that on the walk. Part of the loss was also due to my diet yesterday, which was much more controlled than Noah's old diet, and the system probably amplified the results of my workouts as well.

My charisma hasn't gone back up yet, but just because my body fat has gone down a little more, I feel a little better when I look in the mirror.

What bothered me wasn't just that I was fat, it was that I was fat and ugly, so the fat just made my ugliness worse.

Fortunately, the system gave me some charisma points that slowly made me more attractive, so I wasn't too worried.

After taking my shower, which brought my Singing skill up to level 7, I went to my room and turned on the computer; since I couldn't practice guitar without waking Ethan, I thought it would be more useful to check my Illustration skill.

To my surprise, I got a message from someone on Twipper who was interested in buying one of my artworks.

- Hi Jacob, I'm also a werewolf and I'm very interested in one of your artworks about my Fursona, how does it work? Hooowwwwl! -

When I saw this werewolf howling for text at the end of the message, I got a shuddering feeling that almost made me close this conversation window and stop working with it, but I needed the money...

- Hello friend Werewolf, the artwork costs $30, the payment is divided into 50% at the beginning and 50% when the artwork is ready, you just need to send me the reference images you want or an explanation of how you want the artwork and I can send it to you ready by the end of the day. -

I thought this werewolf would take a long time to reply to me since his last message had been sent several hours ago, but within a few minutes he replied with a huge text about his character's history and the reference images I needed.

When I sent my virtual account for the transfer, Werewolf transferred it without a second thought, leaving me a little surprised at how easily this person trusted me, but I didn't care much and took advantage of the time left to start this artwork.

Since my Art skill was already at level 27, I finished the sketch in a few minutes and sent it to Werewolf for approval.

It didn't take a minute for the Werewolf to reply excitedly and approve everything.

Seeing how the artwork looked, I suspected that this werewolf was a woman, since the character was female, but I couldn't confirm anything with how crazy this community was, for me, as long as it wasn't an NSFW image of weird things, I could even draw a monster with whatever body the person wanted.

In another 40 minutes, I finished the artwork exactly as Werewolf wanted it, and just to be sure, I sent it to her in very low quality for her approval.

She didn't even reply and wired me another $30, thanking me for the artwork and saying the extra $15 was a tip, which I wasn't stupid enough to refuse.

As soon as I sent her the complete artwork in high quality, she changed her profile picture to the new artwork and posted it on her feed, thanking "Jacob" and tagging him.

Knowing that this was a free promotion and a new item for my portfolio, I also retweeted her post on my profile.

The next clients would likely come from this client's friends, so all I had to do was wait for someone else to come along.

That extra $45 brought my total to an incredible $131, which almost paid for my guitar!

If this werewolf tipped that much, I can raise the value of the artwork a little to $40 for the next customer and see if they want to pay. I thought.

As for the money, I had no plans to get rich doing this, but if I could do one of these a day to earn some extra cash, I wouldn't turn it down, as I would need a lot of money to register the copyrights for my songs, as well as help out with the household bills if possible, as the financial problems were worse than I had imagined.

Just like yesterday, my mother knocked on the door when it was time for breakfast, woke Ethan up and took my things downstairs.

"Good morning." I said as I walked downstairs.

Just like yesterday, my mother answered while Olivia ignored me.

Seeing her attitude, I just shook my head and ignored it, knowing I couldn't change her in just one day.

When I arrived at school today, unlike yesterday when everyone ignored me, today I felt hundreds of stares following me until I reached my English class.

Probably, what happened yesterday has already spread among everyone and their curiosity about me is growing until the next school gossip comes to take my position.

Just like yesterday, I just sat in my seat, reading my books and improving my skills.

During lunch, no one came to disturb me, but I didn't feel good about it, in fact, I felt like this was the calm before the storm.

I looked around for the little shits who had teased me yesterday, and saw them eating and talking while looking at me, trying to make a domineering expression, but it only made them look more like idiots.

Ignoring these clowns, I continued to eat while humming and practicing my singing by myself.

Even the old friends in this body avoided talking to me after what happened yesterday, probably afraid of what might happen to them.

Which was perfect for me, because I didn't want to come into contact with those losers.

The rest of the day passed like yesterday, but the change came when I got home.

Since I didn't have to cut Ethan's hair, I finished helping him with his homework much earlier, thus raising my Teach skill to level 6 today.

When everything was done, I spent another two hours practicing my singing and guitar, raising my Singing Skill to level 10 and my guitar to level 17.

If I put my mind to it, I could get my guitar to level 20 tomorrow, and my singing skill in 2 or 3 days.

Out of curiosity, I opened my Jacob profile and was surprised to see that I'd gained 39 more followers, and out of those 39 people, 2 of them asked me to sell them an artwork.

One of these people wanted me to draw two wolves having sex, but I just said I didn't do that kind of art, and accepted the work of the other person, who just wanted a drawing of a wolf dressed as a general.

Since it was a simple piece of art, I had it done within an hour and a half, earning another $50, $40 of which was the amount I had charged and a $10 tip, bringing my total to $181!

I wasn't rich yet, but it was great to have that income coming in every day.

Like the other werewolf, this general wolf also posted on his profile and I reposted and gained a few more followers.

Looking at the time, I decided to leave the PC and go work out my muscles.

Just as I did with the walking, I also increased the intensity of my weight training, which made my results increase a lot.

I increased my Bodybuilding Skill to Lv 4 and my Bodybuilding Buff to Lv 2.

When I looked at my weight on the scale, I had lost 800g, which was already a very good number.

And so the next 3 days went by.

For all three days, my routine was exactly the same.

I had breakfast with my dad, went for a walk, did some art before going to school, learned what I could at school, came home and helped Ethan with his homework, practiced my singing and guitar, did some more art, did some weight training, and went to bed.

Looking at my status screen and the changes in it, I had a satisfied smile on my face.

=========================

In just 5 days I lost almost 8kg! Not to mention, since my weight training increased the amount of muscle I was building, the amount of fat I lost is probably around 9kg, but since I must have gained 1kg of muscle, the scale only says I'm 8kg lighter.

The level 5 buffs, which increase the speed of my daily metabolism by 10%, helped me lose a lot of weight, and as long as I controlled my diet and exercised constantly, it certainly paid off.

Not to mention a change that really surprised me during those days.

While I was studying, regardless of the content I was learning, I noticed that it was slowly contributing to an increase in my INT, and as a result, something was changing in my status.

My Mana, which was only 90 points, had now risen to 110, along with my INT, which went from 9 points to 11!

And mana wasn't the only thing that changed, because when my INT increased by one point, the speed at which I could learn something also increased significantly!

This increase of 2 points for me, who only had 9 before, represented a 22% improvement in my learning speed and mental processing speed, not to mention the skills I had in knowledge, the speed at which I learned school subjects was now at a completely different level.

At first, I had to read something in class a total of 5 times to learn it, then that dropped to 4 times when I unlocked the skill, now it had dropped to 3 times, and slowly I was getting to the point where I only had to read it 2 times to understand it.

With this progress, I was excited to think that it could get to the point where I could read it just once and understand it without any difficulty, or even read something halfway and be able to deduce the rest!

I understand why games are addictive, because when you see the results of something you've worked hard to improve, you get really excited.

I want to learn more, I want to get better.

Speaking of improving, since my singing skill was finally at Lv 20, today was the day I was going to record my first song to post on MeTube.

And I had already decided which song I was going to record!
