Chapter 15: I Want Power (Part 3)
Arthur:
What a wonderful new skill, it’s a good addition. I was happy with it and looked at the twenty mana gems.
It was ti to end the day, I was really tired, I would go exchange these gems into points and choose dinner.
I headed towards my goal and exchanged the gems for points. With those points I took two soups for 20 points. Each soup was 10 points.
"Here, grandpa, this is a good soup for you. Did you rest a little?" I gave a soup to the old man leaning on the stone wall.
"Don’t worry, young man, really thank you for what you did for today, I will never forget your favor. But tomorrow don’t exhaust yourself, I will be able to work." He looked at the soup and the expression of depression appeared on him.
"As you wish, old man, but I will not stop giving you food. I even challenged that damn guard." I grabbed a spoon full of soup and put it into my mouth.
After a little chatter with the old man, tiredness reached my eyes. They shut down the place.
After a harsh sleep on the stone floor, all my muscles were aching, especially my neck. Ah, ah, ah, ah.
Tch, but the pain did not last until it vanished. What a wonderful skill, the skill [Skill I Pain Resistance (Level 1)].
[Speaking of this skill]
[Skill I Pain Resistance (Level 1) —> Skill I Pain Resistance (Level 2)]
Well... well... well... evolving while you sleep is wonderful. Ti for mining and providing food for and the old man.

I collected 15 mana gems.

[Skill I Muscle Strain (Level 1) —> Skill I Muscle Strain (Level 2)]
[Increase 1 Strength permanently]
I converted my points into 2 waters and yesterday’s bread.
I begged the old man to eat yesterday’s bread and take the water. But he refused because he collected about 5 gems which gave him yesterday’s bread. So he only took the water from .
In the evening:
I collected about 20 mana gems.
Two of my skills leveled up.
[Skill I Muscle Strain (Level 2) —> Skill I Muscle Strain (Level 3)]
[Increase 1 Strength permanently]
And also,

I also went and brought dinner consisting of two soups. I gave one to the old man, because he only had 1 mana gem. Despite his words, he could not mine in the evening.

Day Three in the mine:
In the morning:
I collected 25 mana gems. Yes, the skills started to show their quality, hahahaha...
No skill leveled up yet.
I exchanged them for water and two soups. I gave one soup to the old man, since he provided water from mining in the morning.
In the evening:
I collected 30 mana gems! A new record, and I celebrated it.
I exchanged my points for a vegetable soup. Yes, no longer just water soup. I felt tears about to fall from my eyes.
The rest I bought soup and water.
It seed the old man was suffering from illness, he coughed a lot, maybe water would help moisten his throat.
Ah, also,
[Skill I Muscle Strain (Level 3) —> Skill I Muscle Strain (Level 4)]
[Increase 1 Strength permanently]

Day Four:
In the morning:
I collected 30 mana gems.
I divided them into 2 waters and two soups. The old man couldn’t work.
In the evening:
I collected 40 mana gems. A strong breakthrough, thanks to this in the middle of work.
[Skill I Muscle Strain (Level 4) —> Skill I Muscle Strain (Level 5)]
[Increase 1 Strength permanently]
[Skill level has increased]
[Skill I ----> Skill II]
[You have reached the limit of Skill I evolution]
[You can choose between the following evolutions:
– [Explosive Muscles]
[Description: A sudden increase in strength, but cos with a weakening effect when the ti ends.
– Duration: 10 seconds. Increase Strength by 20 points.
– Negative effect upon ending: Decrease Strength by 40 points.]
– [Big Muscles]
[Description: An advanced version of a skill only.
– Increase Strength by 10.]
I chose without hesitation the second option because of the negative effect of the first. I don’t even have the energy, so why would I waste it on a sudden increase in strength, while I can gain it with ti.
[Skill II Big Muscles (Level 1)]
[Description: A day will co when your muscles grow big]
[Level 1 —> Level 2
Condition: Move muscles and tear them more than before.]
A wonderful addition to my collection.

Today’s harvest was more wonderful than ever, if I keep working hard I will truly beco overpowered. Hm?
While I was walking and as usual going to exchange my gems into points. Soone stopped in front of preventing from passing.
He was huge and bulky with height, about 2 ters tall, taller than , I am 1.85 ters. He had good muscles and was wearing an undershirt, showing his sculpted muscles.
I frowned and looked at him. "Is there sothing you want from ? I don’t have ti for your kind right now." I knew him, he was one of the mbers of a group ford here, who extort their fellow slaves and take their gems, to enjoy the tastiest als. A group that always exists no matter the place or ti, enjoying the suffering of others.
I wanted to avoid them, no matter what. But when it cos, what do you do? I sighed.
"Wait.. wait... wait, brother don’t be upset... I just wanted to talk to you... you know we are in the sa boat in this cursed cave." He approached as he spoke.
He reached , he was only 30 cm away from my face, and lowered his head looking at my shortness.
He said with a disgusting smile, "What do you think of sharing half of what you have of gems with ?"
I smiled while putting down the bag that contained my gems on the ground. Imdiately I grabbed him by his shirt at his neck, lifted him with ease and smashed him into the wall beside .
"Listen... I can’t stand people like you, you hear . I don’t want trouble, just get out of my face and let live in peace here, really."
I raised my other free hand, which held a light fla and struck the wall next to him, cracking it into a spiderweb.
"Hmph... I hope you heard my warning..."
I picked up my bag that contained the gems and went to exchange them for points. I left behind a man gasping for air.
The day ended in peace and celebration with taking two vegetable soups and 2 waters. I shared them with the old man.

Day Five:
In the morning:
I collected... no, not yet.
As I mined with all my strength I heard soone speaking behind . I sighed and wiped the sweat on my forehead, turning around to see a person with others.
"Hey man, I heard that you taught my follower a life lesson, didn’t you?" A huuuuge man, brown-skinned, about 2.30 ters tall I think, spoke with a loud tone while looking at as if I was easy prey.
He was surrounded by a large group of muscular n.
"Isn’t it unfair, one against all of you?"
