As an adventure game, EGO had a death penalty a 24 hours connection restriction. A day passed, King sat on the capsule with a determined mind.

"That hurt that I have to do it at level 1 but I will to do it."

King didn't shrink back to the quest Tott gave him but actually Tott's quest had a hidden meaning. King could reach higher level by doing non-combat related skill like searching for a blacksmith's material or help villager on laborious task. EGO was reputed for its freeness; all action had an impact on the player. To be frank, gaining exp (experience point) through minor work was a common thing between player. But King's mind was troubled by Tott. The word "Knight, warrior, no blood" echoed through his head like it was saying:" You can only level up through hunting". But that wasn't a bad thing; it will be the cause to King's greatness, the cause of his future high wariness toward gods.

He sat on the capsule and shouted the word "Start EGO!"

A black haired man appeared on the spawning building, he looked around him as if to check if someone was there.

(Seven people, that's okay, let's max out stat first.)

Then suddenly the man began to do push-up, squats, side-jump ...

(Strenght +1)

(Strenght +1)

(Stamina +1)

...

(You're tired from overworking)

(All body movements will become dull for 10 minutes)

He saw the notification and then began to sit. He waited 10 minutes and then...

(You've recovered from your tiredness)

...without a time delay, he again did all sort of body training.

(Strenght +1)

(Stamina+1)

(...)

(You are tired from overworking)

(All body movements will become dull for 10 minutes)

...

He did it five times in a row. Then the fifth time

(Strength max)

(Stamina max)

(You've stole Hephaïstos power, you received the skill "To the death")

-Skill Information _To the death: Transform HP (Health Point) into consumable when the stamina stat reach 0 point.

The man had a satisfied smile.

"Work and preparation are never bad things."

But he didn't stop there, he got up from where he was sitting and then...

"AAAAAAAAAaaaaah "

....he began to run. He ran so fast that it reminded of a certain person during a day ago. Other players seeing him all had the same thought: "People these days are weird."
