The System Mecha is so unscientific

The atmosphere in the workshop was electric, brimming with possibilities as Da and Mia strategized their path forward. Just as they were beginning to sort out plans to gather support, Da felt a familiar sensation—a soft, tingling warmth radiating from within, a sign that the mysterious system he had kept secret all this time was stirring to life.

A shimmering interface flickered into view, hovering in front of him. It was a virtual display he had come to recognize well, a blend of text and symbols that felt oddly comforting amidst the chaos of his thoughts.

System Notification:

Quest Mission Activated

- Objective: Raise your mind and body to Black Iron Level
- Duration: 1 Month
- Reward: Unlock Bronze Level Mecha - Iron Warden
- Punishment: Vegetative State for 1 Year

The words glowed hazily, each punctuating the reality of his situation like a clarion call. Yanking his gaze away for a moment, he let out a shallow breath. "Mia," he said, voice barely above a whisper, "I need to focus for a bit."

Confusion crossed her face. "What do you mean? Are you okay?"

"Just… give me a moment," he insisted, pushing down the urgency within him while trying to process the system’s notification.

He had to keep the existence of this system hidden, a closely guarded secret that could pull him into a deeper rabbit hole of power and expectation. But the temptation was strong, especially with the stakes as high as they were now. A chance to unlock a more powerful mecha in such a short time was an opportunity he couldn’t afford to overlook, yet the punishment was dire.

With the system modifying the old era's cultivation scrolls and physical training manuals, it fed him not only the techniques of cultivation but also the knowledge from the ancient weapons training, specifically tailored to a fusion of magic and martial prowess that the "Mystic Weaponmaster Cultivation System" promised. This was something unheard of, and it thrummed with possibility, luring him closer into its depths.

He turned back to Mia, mind racing. “I can’t share everything with you yet. But I have to raise my skills—my mind and body—to a level that can compete against Paul and the Grimheart family.”

Mia raised an eyebrow, concern blending with determination. “How?”

“I won’t lie to you. It’s going to be intense. I have access to a training system that’s… unique. It combines old era techniques with physical and spiritual training. But it will change everything. If I fail this mission, the consequences are severe.”

“Then you have to do it,” she said firmly. “Whatever it takes. We both know you’re capable of more than what you think. Just tell me what I can do to help.”

Da felt a swell of gratitude for her unwavering support. “I’m going to need a space free from distractions. Practice sessions, stamina training, honing my skills with weapons—everything will need to be focused and deliberate. I can’t afford to waste any time.”

Her expression softened, and she nodded. “I can arrange that. My family has facilities for training that aren't widely known. We could allocate an area where you can train in secret. Just tell me when you’re ready to begin.”

As Da mulled over their plan, he wondered where to start. His physical training would require rigorous discipline, while his mental prowess needed stimulation beyond mere exercises. Luckily, the system offered extensive resources—books, videos, and simulations—that would catalyze both aspects of cultivation.

Quest Task Accepted: Begin training now.

A rush of adrenaline surged through him, and the weight of the quest invigorated his spirit. “I’ll start at dawn,” he decided, his resolve crystallizing. This quest could be his first step toward reclaiming not just what he had lost but toward a new depth of power and skill that would help him confront his enemies head-on.

“Get some rest, and let’s meet first thing in the morning. You’ve got a big month ahead of you,” Mia encouraged, her voice both light and steady.

Da smiled and waved her out, but as soon as she left, he closed the door and turned back to the system’s interface, fully captivated by the next phase of his journey.

Quest Summary:

- Meditation and Mental Focus: He’d tap into techniques extracted from ancient scrolls to expand his capacity for thought and strategy.
- Physical Training: A regimen that required him to push his limits—building strength and stamina beyond the typical constraints, reaching for the Black Iron level.
- Weapon Training: Essential for the skills he would need once he unlocked the Iron Warden mecha, allowing him to fuse his martial skills with newfound proficiency.

With renewed determination coursing through him, Da prepared for the leap ahead. He envisioned the Iron Warden—a sleek and powerful mecha that could be more than just an extension of him; it could be an embodiment of his newly honed abilities, a weapon forged through hardship and growth.

His heart raced as he considered the stakes; failure wasn’t an option. Not only for himself but for those who would stand beside him against the tyranny of the Grimheart family.

The next month would be a crucible of transformation. The path ahead promised to be burdened with trials, but Da welcomed the challenge. This was not merely about vengeance or strength—it was about reclaiming his identity, rediscovering his potential, and preparing to rise against the oppressive forces that sought to silence him.

As twilight washed over the city, Da stood alone in his workshop, resolute and ready. He was entering a new chapter in his life, one marked by resilience, strength, and the indomitable spirit of a warrior.

“Let’s begin,” he whispered to the empty space around him, and in that moment, he felt a shift, deep within the marrow of his being. The journey was just beginning, and he was more than prepared to embrace every ounce of it.@@novelbin@@
