POV: Saiki.
I must be dreaming...
In a single day of training, something not even that intense, when I weighed myself, I saw that I had lost a total of 15 kilos!
'Insane!'
Getting off the scale, I started dressing and left the bathroom.
Back in my room, I murmured softly: "Status."

My eyes were drawn to the part that showed my attributes.
'Will I keep increasing my attributes this fast?'

Following the recipe I saw on the internet, I managed to make something simple to cook. Maybe because of the training, I was hungrier than usual, so I ate a lot of rice and seven fried eggs.
While I was washing the dishes I dirtied, something happened.
[A new Skill was created due to a specific action.]
[Washing the dishes continuously created the Skill, [Washing Dishes].]
[Washing Dishes (Passive) Lv.1 EXP: 00.00%]
[With more mastery, you will be able to clean any dirty corner of the dishes.]
[5% increase in cleaning speed.]
There's no doubt, practically any action I do repeatedly creates a skill related to it.
'This is fascinating!'
Humming cheerfully, I finished the dishes. And, as expected, after I acquired the Washing Dishes skill, it became easier for me to wash them.
'Should I get a part-time job as a kitchen helper to wash dishes?'
If I want to stop depending on my parents' money, although I believe that, even though I'm an unwanted child, I never asked to be born and it was them who did "adult things", only to blame me later... I kind of feel like they owe me, but anyway, I would feel better if I didn't need them for anything.
Ding-Dong
"Delivery for Saiki Kurogane."
"Coming!"
I shouted from the living room, going to the door.
When I opened it, I saw a delivery guy with a delivery cart with a large box.
"Are you Saiki Kurogane?" The delivery guy in a blue uniform and hat asked.
"That's right."
"Please sign."
Taking the clipboard and the pen, I signed.
Then, the delivery guy left the box at the entrance of my apartment.
"Have a good day." Said the delivery guy.
"Same to you. Thanks." I replied, before closing the door and carrying the box to the living room.
'It's not as heavy as I imagined it would be...' I thought.
Of course I understand that my strength has increased.
I was no longer the same weak fat guy from before.
I imagine that the common strength of a man is 10. At the moment, I have 15 strength, so I must be above average.
Grabbing a utility knife, I started opening the box.
The sound of the utility knife blade cutting the adhesive tape captivated me for some reason.
When I opened the box, inside there was more than one item and a lot of bubble wrap.
The first thing I grabbed was a baseball bat from inside the box and observed it.
[Aluminum Baseball Bat 82cm.]
[Brand]: FLsh.
[This alloy steel baseball bat was developed to offer resistance, balance and a more stable usage experience. With balanced weight distribution, it provides a larger sweet spot and a smoother swing trajectory.]
'Not bad at all.' I thought, satisfied with the baseball bat I bought.
"Status."
The instant my status appeared, next to it was the inventory. Without hesitating, I put the baseball bat which occupied one inventory slot.
Turning my attention back to the box, I grabbed the next item and observed it.
[Forged Steel Crowbar 600mm.]
[Brand]: MTX.
[The Forged Steel Crowbar with Nail Puller 600mm from MTX is an indispensable tool for any professional or DIY enthusiast. With a length of 60 cm and a diameter of 15 cm, this crowbar offers the robustness and durability you need to carry out your work with efficiency and precision.]
'I don't know if it's good or not, but from Will Griffin's memories, a crowbar is useful even at a supernatural level. Being possible to be used even against someone with the title of Goddess of War.'
Storing it in the inventory as well, I grabbed the next item.
[X7 Vixion Bow and Arrow 30-60 Lbs]
[Brand]: Vixion.
[The X7 VIXION compound bow is the most powerful and robust in the line, designed to offer high-level performance to the most demanding archers. With a pulley system that reduces the draw effort by 80%, the bow minimizes fatigue, even in long shooting sessions. The adjustable power from 30 to 60 lbs adapts to different preferences, while the premium materials guarantee durability and efficiency. Equipped with special fabric string, aluminum grip, adjustable sight with brass pins, metal pulleys and arrow rest.]
'This will be useful to me.'
Of that I had no doubt.
The question is... If I use it several times, will it create a related skill?
I was confident that yes.
Besides the bow and arrow, there were 5 back quivers with 30 arrows each.
The compound bow came disassembled. Following the manual, I started assembling it.
I took a total of 21 minutes to finally manage to assemble and adjust it.
Finishing, I put it in the inventory.
The next item was:
[Collins Lumberjack Axe Fiber Handle 88 Cm]
[Brand]: Collins.
[The Collins Axe with 88 cm fiber handle is a high-quality tool, produced in special forged and tempered steel. This hand axe is known for its excellence and durability. The electrostatic powder paint finish guarantees an elegant and resistant appearance.]
'Good.' I smiled.
Honestly, this and the baseball bat were the tools I put the most faith in.
The bow and arrow I still had to learn how to use.
As for the crowbar... Well, my biggest problem is with the possible return impact that it will have when striking using this.
Now that my purchases from yesterday arrived. I feel more calm and safe to sleep.
Yawning, I went to my room.

When I opened my eyes again, the sky was blue and clear. The sunlight shone softly on my face, making me squint in a sign of comfort.
A gentle breeze passed by me. I felt the aroma of the grass mixed with the earth.
'The fresh air really made people feel good.'
I thought happily, but the smile never reached my face.
'I really ended up here again...'
A bit bizarre, but a naked and raw reality.
And that reality was... I basically had two golden fingers.
At that moment, I was lying in a grassy field. Sitting up, I see the fresh grass still covered by the morning dew. At the rise of the wind, the grassy plain undulated like waves.
The view was without a doubt beautiful, but reality could be cruel depending on the point of view.
From afar I spotted the figure of a white rabbit. But not just any rabbit, rather, a rabbit large enough to be confused with a Great Dane dog.
[Great White Rabbit Lv.10]
'Is it the same one that killed me yesterday?'
Yes, it wasn't the first time I ended up here, but rather, the second time.
Yesterday, after I managed to pass my greatest ordeal, almost losing my own body to a 40-year-old man...
Cough
I mean, not in a strange way...
Anyway.
But, late when I slept, I woke up in this same plain and was attacked by a great white rabbit of level 10.
I didn't even have a chance.
That little creature not only jumped higher than a kangaroo, but also had absurd strength.
And me? Well, I was a big and slow fat guy. To summarize, an easy target.
Not to mention that, by using gravity to its advantage during the jump, the impact of the foot against my chest was simply monstrous. If that was comparable to a horse's kick, I had no idea — I had never taken one to know. But, honestly, I didn't need to.
In the instant the foot hit my chest, I felt my bones crack and break all at once. The force of the blow smashed my body against the ground, tearing all the air from my lungs. A metallic taste invaded my mouth, followed by an absurd amount of blood that started flowing from my nose, from my mouth and even from my ears.
It was as if a truck had fallen on me.
When I thought I had died for good, my mind darkened and I opened my eyes in a lot of pain, screaming inside my room.
However, strangely seconds later, I managed to calm down and think rationally.
It was then that Will's memories began to emerge. There were no images, only words. Words that he had read for days, forming little by little a story. A story called: Pocket Hunting Dimension.
I stood up.
I opened my status and took out the bow and arrow, equipping it.
Then, I equipped the back quiver, as well as a specialized glove for bow and arrow use.
'I don't know if this will be able to cause damage to this great rabbit, but it's worth risking.'
I admit that I never used a bow and arrow in my life, I'm not confident of hitting it.
I can only trust what I learned from FPS Games.
'Let's begin!' I grabbed an arrow and placed it on the bowstring.
