Evan D. Sherden, Clenched his fist. (4)

“Lord Evan, are you up?”

“Maybell, come back in two hours!”

“No, why?!”

“I need time to think alone!”

“Lord, Master?1””

Ever since he succeeded in getting the necklace from the Marquis and began slime training, Evan decided to go through his everyday life in an organized schedule.

[Squeak!]

“First of all, when I wake up in the morning, I have full mana, so I start training right away… I need to wake up earlier! I don’t want to waste time sleeping!”

That’s how Evan D. Sherden, the Marquis’ sleepy son, who was known for sleeping a lot, started waking up three hours earlier daily. He makes sure he completes eight hours of sleep, though!

“And then…Wash up and eat breakfast. Then, a simple exercise until mana is fully recovered. Well, maybe I should start weight training.”

[Squeak!]

Once he reaches the 30% threshold, it takes approximately two hours to recover his full mana. When mana is fully regained, he feels his heart heating up; then, mana slowly flows throughout his body.

He had to rest regularly due to heavy mana consumption, but he does not get tired physically. He thought about weight training so he can use his physical strength.

‘I’m not an expert, but I’ve been doing my personal training for quite a while. The point is to do proper exercise without overdoing it.’

Weight training might be harmful at an early age. Still, if he pushes ahead, doing only specific exercises and being cautious about his body, he does not need to worry about adverse effects. He just needs to increase his existence level. The higher it goes, the healthier his body will become.

‘Then, maybe if I apply modern exercises in this world…!’

[Squeak!]

Evan’s heart throbbed over his unproven hypothesis. Maybe he can develop modern systematic weight training here, and make it a skill or something!

As he is deep in thought about these things, he continued killing slimes every nine seconds.

“Then mana recovers again, two hours of slime training. I’ll decide the frequency of weight training based on my physical condition, and in my spare time…Yeah, let’s write a manual.”

[Squeak!]

Of course, he remembered essential things about the game, such as Evan’s death. Still, he felt the need to organize all the information he knew about the series.

From the creation myths of the Yo-ma War to the history of all kingdoms, the situation of the world, the treasures hidden, and the talented people existing in this world!

[Squeak!]

“I have to remember everything. It’s okay. I can do it.”

If he organizes this information, then he should easily know what to avoid or what to use in certain situations. Among the countless legends that live and breathe in the series of the Yo-ma Great War, he had to remember which will save or kill him!

What’s more, if all the scenarios go as he knows, it’s not possible to survive!

‘But now, I am not simply helping Evan – I am Evan.’

The Yo-ma Great War, which was experienced by Yeo Ban-min, his previous life, is very similar to this world. Many things will be similar or the same, but he thought that he can’t absolutely rely on data.

That’s why he had to record what happens in this world accurately, so he could compare and a.n.a.lyze the changes and prepare for the future – not to be overwhelmed by the wave of death that will come from all sides!

[Squeak!]

“And then up there, well…Well, what else? I just eat on time, and other times, slime training, weight training, and that’s it.”

Thinking about it, Evan didn’t have a schedule before. A nine-year-old boy doesn’t need a plan! All he had to do was play like a child!

“But now I don’t have time to waste that way. If I do what I did before, I’ll only recreate what happened to Evan. That’s… I will never let that happen.”

[Squeak!]

He shook his head, thinking of Evan D. Sherden in the game.

Evan appeared in the third episode of the Yo-ma Great War 3. He was a handsome, loyal, charming young man who captured the attention of everyone who saw him.

Aside from his character description, everything else was a mess.

Even if there wasn’t a flood of possible deaths for him, Evan was not in excellent condition!

‘He was a typical weakling.’

[Squeak!]

One such example was the case with the Magic Sword. At the beginning of the main episode, Evan is just outside the beginner’s level, even though he is already 20 years old.

The Marquis spoiled him too much, even though everyone knew that Evan needed to go into the dungeon when he reaches 18.

Evan neglected his training, and when he reached 18, he entered the dungeon accompanied by a lot of knights, who were there to protect him.

It had disastrous results.

‘He didn’t even get to clear the first floor…’

[Squeak!]

When someone clears a floor on the Dungeon, he would hear G.o.d’s voice blessing him and increasing his dungeon level.

Evan didn’t hear the voice of G.o.d that day. He failed to achieve the expectation to clear the first floor.

A required amount of contribution to the group is needed to get credit for clearing the floor, but Evan left everything to the knights, and thus, failed miserably.

It took him three months to try again and finally clear the first level.

“He was such a pathetic man… but women chased after him!”

[Squeak!]

Evan liked spending money, and he wanted to hang out with people. That’s why he’s always surrounded by so many people… It gradually aggravated his situation.

Fortunately, he didn’t pay much attention to alcohol or gambling, but he had a problem with women.

He got really mixed up with all kinds of women, and it had already developed to an irreversible level at the beginning of the main episode.

He had three-digit quests, all involving those whom he had seduced!

[Squeak!]

“Ha, how could Evan flirt with that many women?”

He shook his head, recalling the quest he had taken over in the past while playing the Yo-ma 3.

A woman Evan flirted with will bring his death.

He made up his mind – he won’t flirt with women from now on! He won’t even smile at them!

[Squeak!]

“Whoa, my heart is tightened. Stop.”

He checked how long it took before he reached the 30% limit: two hours, a little improvement.

The fact that the time he can continuously summon slime is increasing little by little means that his mana point is increasing.

“I am improving.”

It’s such a small improvement, but what matters is he was growing step by step.

He was pleased. Then, a great desire sprang up within him.

‘I want to be stronger faster!’

He already knows how. By optimizing the schedule, he can reduce time waste and focus more on slime training.

And if possible, add weight training! It’s going to be a lot better than just grabbing the slime!

“Okay, the goal is to create weight training skills! All right, let’s start training right away!”

Evan clenched his fists with determination and ran straight to the yard.

It was the middle of the day, and Maybell caught him before he can get to the yard.

He was made to wash his face and go to breakfast.

The second master is a little strange these days was the topic among Sherden servants.

“My master is like… He told me not to enter the room, and he hates when I try to look at his notebook. He told me not to come unless he calls me. We used to be close; he followed me like I’m his sister!”

Maid M, the maid who wants to be anonymous, started talking.

“Maybell, you should stop. It’s good to feel friendly to Master Evan, but if you cross the line, it’s over. Then, you will be get fired by Marquis. Anyway, I think Master Evan has changed. He used to play around in the hallway and destroyed a few expensive painting and vase, but that doesn’t happen these days.”

A male servant brutally called out the name of a maid who wished to remain anonymous, before adding his own observation.

“Master Evan is really weird these days. As Maybell said, I don’t know what he is doing in the room alone, I rarely see him in the mansion anymore,” said another maid, whom we will call Maid B.

“Don’t you know? The second master, he has been in the yard a lot lately… He’s doing weird poses there. I feel like he is exercising,” said another servant, Male Servant B.

Maid M, err… Maybell couldn’t stand it anymore and burst into tears.

“My master is acting weird! Apparently, when I had a fever at that time…!”

“Hey, somebody calm Maybell down. She’s going to be in big trouble.”

“I’ve heard he keeps opening and closing his left hand, like a baby.”

“Leave him alone; children usually do things that adults don’t understand. Like I don’t understand what Maybell is doing now.”

“Maybell, if you keep working for Marquis’s family…”

With the servants chattering, the lounge door burst open, and Servant C came in. He was panting, and his eyes were wide open as he told them what he saw.

“Hey, did Master Evan just…No, I don’t know, Master Evan! He just lifted the rock in the yard! He said he was doing it instead of dumbbells, what do you call it? It was a small rock, but it wasn’t something a child could carry!”

Only

Male Servant A shouted back at him. “And what the h.e.l.l is dumbbell?!”

Then, he turned to his colleagues.

“Okay, Maid B, you keep holding Maybell. Servant B, you take Servant C to the priest and ask him to fix his eyes and ears!”

“Okay!”

“What is it? What are you doing?! Why are you holding me?”

Ten days have pa.s.sed since Evan started slime training.

He didn’t realize it, but his body was changing more quickly than he thought.

Now, he could kill slime in just seven seconds.
