Aur leisurely savoured the bite of the freshly peeled apple, the burst of juicy flavour exploding on his taste buds, tantalising his senses with the essence of the fruit.
"Master," the woman murmured softly, her voice carrying a ek tone as a small tear trickled down her cheek, landing on Aur's face.
Aur slowly opened his eyes, greeted by the sight of the blonde woman whose eyes shimred with tears, her body trembling with exhaustion and fear.
"I... I am sorry, Master," she stamred, her tone laced with terror. For five hours straight, Aur head lay in her lap, her hands tirelessly massaging his temples without a mont's rest.
Her thighs throbbed with numbness, the strain of supporting Aur's weight taking its toll. But it was her delicate hand that suffered the most. Though seemingly boneless, her hand was now cramped and numb from the continuous massage, her nerves compressed under the strain.
The blue veins on her fair skin stood out starkly. Her hand was so sore that she could barely move it, every movent sending waves of discomfort through her exhausted body.
Since Aur's skull had also hardened, it was a miracle that she was able to massage his temples continuously for five hours straight.
He looked at the other woman who was diligently peeling fruits for Aur without rest as well. Although her condition was also not good, it wasn't as bad as the woman who was massaging him.
"You two have similar hair and facial features. Are you both twins?" Aur finally spoke.
"No, Master, but we are sisters," the girl said with a sigh of relief, seeing that Aur wasn't angry at her.
"Oh," Aur nodded thoughtfully. He suddenly thought of the twins he had t in the rcenary place; they had also helped him gain so resources with the dungeon they found.
"Their nas were Chloe and Emma, right?"
He hadn't had the ti to et them ever since he ca to the academy, nor was he interested in doing so. Since they couldn't awaken their ntal space, it was impossible for them to be in the sa position anymore.
They were just rcenaries at the end of the day, risking their lives for every penny they could earn, while Aur could completely enjoy his life and even get a chance to increase his lifespan.
For people who couldn't even awaken their ntal space, it was useless for them to even get a lifespan spell, as it would be ineffective.
This was a cruel truth; if you didn't awaken a ntal space, no matter what type of status you had or background, you would only live for around one hundred and twenty years at most if you were disease-free.
As for people who had awakened their ntal space, even a little iota of mana made them completely disease-free, so living for a hundred and twenty years wasn't a problem.
As Aur stood up from her lap, stretching his muscles with power coursing through his body, his muscles cracked like a roaring dragon.
"Not bad," Aur muttered to himself. He could already fully control his body from head to toe, and even his control of strength seed to have increased by another level again.
He turned back to the woman who couldn't stand up no matter how she tried, stuck in place.
"What are your nas?" Aur asked.
"My na is Elara, and my younger sister's na is Seraphine," she replied.
Aur nodded his head. "There will be servants being sent soon. If you are competent enough, you two will be hired as the head servants."
The two sisters' eyes brightened when they heard this.
"Thank you, master," they both bowed.
"Rember, you have to be competent enough," Aur reminded them, then looked at the fat squirrel and lightly flicked it.
Bang!
The fat squirrel was launched into the air, crashing into the wall. With its fat belly bouncing, the squirrel rubbed his head.
"What was that for, master?" he asked.
Aur just shook his head as he directed the squirrel back to the beast pouch.
"Co back."
"A heartless bastard," the squirrel grumbled while still rubbing its head.
"What was that?" Aur raised his brows.
"Nothing, nothing," the squirrel forcefully smiled and entered the pouch.
Aur closed the pouch and looked at his clothes.
"Master," Elara murmured in a small voice as she took out a comb.
Aur just silently nodded his head, and Elara imdiately started to comb his long white hair in a neat way.
After combing it, she wanted to tie it into a bun, but Aur shook his head.
"I don't like to tie my hair," Aur lightly said while looking at the ti.
"It's nightti already, huh."
He mused and looked at the two sisters, who had a nervous expression and a touch of pink hue on their cheeks.
"You guys can leave for now."
"Yes, master," both of them imdiately said while internally heaving a sigh of relief in their hearts.
As they left, Aur was left alone in the room.
"I should finish my daily quest and sleep now," Aur muttered, the blue panel flickering in front of him.
[Quest: Daily]
- Run 201 km (incomplete)
- Push-ups 10,100 (incomplete)
- Squats 10,100 (incomplete)
- Plank 30 minutes (incomplete)
Aur quickly took off his black wizard robes, revealing his robust body with muscles pulsing. His abs and biceps were distinct, and his bulky fra, coupled with his towering height, gave him a nacing appearance.
He looked like a devil incarnate.
Without wasting any ti, he began doing push-ups, noticing that his efficiency had increased several tis over.
As Aur perford the exercise, his figure blurred, moving so fast that to a mortal's eyes, it seed like he wasn't moving at all.
However, the surrounding temperature rose noticeably from the boiling of his blood and Qi.
His blood and Qi worked in tandem with his muscles as he swiftly completed ten thousand and one hundred push-ups in less than half an hour.
This was Aur's personal record so far by dividing the ti by at least half.
Next, Aur moved on to squats, finishing them just as quickly. Sweat glistened on his body, falling to the floor drop by drop, but he wasn't finished yet.
He switched seamlessly into planks, holding the position for half an hour without rest.
His muscles were already tensed and perfectly working, allowing him to exert his full strength.
Fortunately, despite the other tasks from the daily quest increasing, the plank remained the sa, requiring him to endure thirty gruelling minutes.
"Right now, it's nothing, but previously..." a bitter smile crept onto his lips as a drop of sweat fell to the floor.
In the past, planks had always been a challenge for him.
Even a single second felt like an eternity, and thirty minutes seed like an entire LIFETI.
However, he had persevered through those tis, and now he could perform them effortlessly. Though it still felt like he had spent a lot of ti, in reality, it had only been thirty minutes.
Finally, Aur stood up, his body drenched in sweat, and began to walk in a circle around the room without taking a single rest.
Swoosh!
As he moved through the air, Aur effortlessly broke the sound barrier, causing the air to tear with the might of his speed. Only his blurred figure could be seen.
In the end, it felt as though Aur was two instead of one, both running at the sa ti!
