{In the tower, hypertrophy isn't the way to get stronger. It is much simpler than that. All you've gotta do is to push yourself to your limits.}{Now do push-ups and don't stop. You have to push your limits, now go!}
Arthur started doing pushups in a proper form. It wasn't hard at first but when he did 50 of them his hand started to feel pain and the speed of his pushups started to get slower. "Hup!"As he was nearing 81 pushups he realized that he couldn't do more but he pushed himself.
[+1 STRENGTH]
"Huh? That's it? I became stronger just like that?"
{That's how you increase your stats here, break your limits or level up. Simple as that. I advise you to use weights and only focus on strength for now.}
Arthur did weighted pushups by putting heavy objects on his back to increase the weight of his pushups so he could get to his limits faster and get his strength points faster. But there were times when his muscle tore up so badly that he couldn't even move causing him to need to rest.
[+1 STRENGTH]
[+1 STRENGTH][+1 STRENGTH][+1 STRENGTH]…20 days later…
[STRENGTH: 463]
Arthur's strength stat compared to his other stat was very unbalanced. But Arthur decided to listen to his father and did not change anything about it.
{You should be strong enough now…}
Arthur pulled out the heavy stone sword from his inventory.
"Hmmm? It isn't heavy anymore?"
Arthur could now swing the sword effortlessly without much effort.
"I feel like I could destroy anything."
Arthur was now very strong and since he didn't need more strength he decided to balance out his stats.
He started to run around the cave and when he reached his limit…
[STAMINA +1][STAMINA +1][STAMINA +1][STAMINA +1][STAMINA +1]…"WHY IS MY SPEED NOT INCREASING!!!"Arthur has been running in circles for hours but the only stat that was increasing was stamina. And he didn't get much help from the diary either.
"This sucks…But extra stamina isn't bad either. So he ran in circles while carrying weights.
[STAMINA +1]
[STRENGTH +1][STAMINA +1][STRENGTH +1][STAMINA +1][STRENGTH +1]…9 days later…The faceless tutorial staff returned to check up on Arthur. "Mr. VIP! What happened to you?"
"Huh" "Why do you look like a skeleton that is about to drop dead any time now?"
Arthur didn't understand what the faceless creature was babbling about. "What are you talking about man? Stop talking rubbish-.."*growl*
His stomach started growling and he realized what happened.
"I forgor 💀"
"You forgot to eat???!!!""How the heck does a human forget how to eat? Eating is not even a skill and you forgot about it?! Even Elves who are elegant and abstain from eating occasionally still never forget to eat. And you say that you forgot to eat?hgdhfr9fuhrbf"
"Hey, chill. There is no need to get so angry, it is your fault for not giving me food. You left me to starve here!"
"There are piles of bread everywhere in this cave! Go eat now! If something happens to you and you die in the tutorial I will get demoted to Tower Lackey so please take care of yourself! Jeez!"
"Fine fine"
"Anyways, 99 players will be joining this cave for the tutorial in about 8 hours, so get ready."
"I thought everyone in this universe will be joining?"
"We have different caves dummy. We can't fit a universe full of humanoids in this small cave, can we?"
"I see." Arthur scratched his head.
The tutorial staff stared at Arthur."Crap. You had to mess up the Towers balance did you?"
"What did I do??"
"Your strength is almost reaching 600 and your stamina is at 263. You already messed up the Towers balance by bringing your insanely high-level talking ability and now this? Dang it man, I can't even have one peaceful day here."
"Sorry. I'm just a little kid following his father's dying request."
"By the way…you know you could make your armor invisible right. Just say "Hide armor""
"Hide armor"
Suddenly the baggy armor disappeared.
"Where did it go"
"It's on you. You just can see it."
"Cool," Arthur looked surprised.
A few hours passed and the timer appeared.
60 seconds…59 seconds...
After the timer ended the once empty cave was suddenly filled with humans that had the tutorial's shabby clothing.
"Ahhh where am I?""Waaaa papa!mama!"
"What the heck! The traffic jam has delayed me and now this!? Boss is gonna be so angry at me!"Most of the people who teleported here were shocked. Some of them were separated from their family members.But some knew what was going on. They were the hardcore losers."Hehehe, I know what is going on…" A nerdy-looking kid whispered."Wuahaha my hours of reading manhwas and reading light novels have finally paid off!!!" A fat kid shouted."Welcome contestants! I will be guiding you all and helping you to pass the tutorial!"The tutorial staff said with a loud voice while floating mid-air."Ahhh a ghost!""Why is Slenderman here? This is not the system that I signed up for!""Ahhh Shaytan!""It's satan! It's satan I tell you." A grandma shouted."I don't think Satan is white, to be honest. I think he is uhh you know, not white?" An old white man randomly said."Shut up gramps. No time for your sketchy beliefs here""Enough" The Tutorial Staff shouted." This tower is where you could get stronger by leveling up and climbing each floor in this tower. Each floor is divided into two separate sections. The first is the gate and the second is the locus. The gate is where you will have to fight to pass and qualify to enter the locus where you could live and stay there with no penalty. If you reach the 100th floor you could get one of your wishes granted. There are humans from your world, other worlds in other parts of the universe, titans, elves, and demons as players. Now you are in the tutorial, pass the tutorial and you can go to the first floor. If you die here, well…you die. Now you have weapons all around you and armor that can protect you. There is also enough food here. You have 5 days to pass the tutorial.""Now for the part that some of you have been waiting for, please say "Status"."The crowd followed his instruction."Yeahhhhh!!!!" The bunch of losers and weebs shouted.Suddenly a portal opened in the middle of the cave."If you are ready! Just pass through the portal to go straight to the tutorial."

The players that have just arrived were still trying to comprehend what was happening to them. Most of the manhwa addicts were disappointed with the "system" that they have received. After all, there were no cheats for them to use. And the portal in front of them could potentially lead to their demise. And their stats were just horrible even compared to regular human beings who spend time at least walking and jogging outside. Everything about them was just single digits, from their stats to their skills. The first step to getting stronger in the tower is to survive. And it seems that they might have failed already. "Hey, isn't that Arthur Behemoth?! I thought he died!" "Holy Moly! It's Arthur Behemoth!" 'Crap! I shouldn't have hidden my helmet!'The crowd started questioning Arthur. They all mistook him for his father. "Hey, let's give our beloved former mayor a break alright? We'll take turns to ask questions, so start lining up." A man suddenly said while ordering the people

The part of the ground that the large hand met was completely destroyed. It created a crater that was enough to fit in at least three cars. The hand was as big as a van and it looked grey. It had stitches that connected the hand to its green forearm. The hand could barely fit the entrance and the arms were destroying the walls just by touching it. 'What the heck...' Arthur's heart was pumping faster than ever and his body was shaking uncontrollably. "Ins-inspect" He stuttered quietly in fear. _______________________________[MOB STATUS][CURRENT STATUS:???][NAME: CHIMERA GOD][JOB:???][RACE:???][LVL:???][HP:???/???][MP:???/???][SPEED: 500][AGILITY: 250][STRENGTH: ???][STAMINA:???][DEFENCE:???][DESCRIPTION: MADE TO BE AN INDESTRUCTIBLE AND ALL-POWERFUL MONSTER BY A TALENTED CHIMERA CREATOR]_______________________________[SKILLS][PASSIVE][SILENT STEPS:999+]_______________________________ Upon seeing such ridiculous stats, Arthur froze trying to not make any sound.

Vazimperium raised his hand while emitting blue gas clouds out of it and controlled it to surround Arthur's head. Arthur felt a cool sensation inside his head and the memory of the monster that attacked become blurry until it completely faded away. "That should do the trick." Arthur opened his eyes and got up trying to catch his breath. He was sweating and his clothes were damp. "Am I dead?" Arthur looked at the muscular bearded Vazimperium. "Uh no. But you were very close to being dead." "I see..." "Well, I'm partially responsible for what happened to you." "What do you mean?" "I am the Third administrator of the tower, and a constellation sent a chimera god to attack you for their viewing pleasure since you are a special player. I should have at least sent a lackey or a staff to look after you. For that I am sorry." "I have no idea what you just said but I accept your apology. " "Do you remember anything?" "Yeah, I remember that there was a-, wait I don't remember... I wa

"I don't even need to say anything. Vazimperium lifted his hand with his palm facing the evolving goblin. A few seconds passed... " uhhh" The tutorial staff and Arthur looked at each other awkwardly. "Uhh, Great Administrator...is everything going okay?" The tutorial staff asked Vazimperium. "Yeah! Everything going fine...no perfect! Nono everything is great! Greatest it's ever been!" 'Why the heck is it not working?' Vazimperium sweated as his eyeballs started to move towards the middle weirdly. "Hah," Vazimperium wiped his sweat and looked toward Arthur and the Tutorial Staff."It seems that I have to say something to remove this goblin. "Ah! Of course Great Administrator! You know best!" "Yes... I know best...haha" Vazimperium cried inside. "Delete Target!" Vazimperium shouted. His voice echoed through the cave system. [YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO INTERFERE WITH NATURAL TRANSFORMATION!] "Impossible!" He shouted. "Great administrator! Is everything okay?" Tutorial Staff asked.

The apostle of the goblin god looked at the other goblins in disappointment. "Deva esse confita."(Translate: God must be disappointed.)The great goblin told the goblins. "Sedta Titan surt azuceler!"(Translate: But Titan suddenly fast!)The goblins tried explaining what happened. "Satta! Imna excudeza! Vati occati titan nulm!"(Translate: Enough! No Excuse! Go kill titan now!) The great goblin shouted, pointing at Arthur. "Situ, maghan aposerita!"(Translate: Yes, great apostle!)The goblins wasted no time and attacked Arthur. "Thank goodness the big one isn't attacking me yet..." There were still hundreds of goblins left, probably about 600 of them, or maybe slightly more. Arthur attacked them with the basic and boring stick and retreat method. If this was a fight scene, then it would be the most boring fight scene in the history of fight scenes, there was nothing flashy about his movements, just basic movements that would ensure his survival. The fight took about 3 hours an

The goblin stood up to fight Arthur once more and approached Arthur while dragging his legs slowly and throwing punches at Arthur very slowly. Arthur dodged all of them and kept punching the great goblin. “Why are you not falling?!” Arthur shouted. The goblin’s health was negative but no matter how much punch Arthur gave, the great goblin would not fall. “Hold on…” Arthur stops throwing jabs. ‘I should throw heavy punches instead. Arthur starts landing heavy punches one at a time towards the goblin’s chin. *Thump* The goblin fell again. But he stood up again to fight. “Est sollam viathi ti icta mea isti ti clani mea ti est para…Etca sidi vos nona fati quli, vos amiyati…”(Translation: The only way to beat me is to nail me to the floor… And if you don’t do that you’ve lost…)The goblin said as if he raised his hands to fight. “How the heck am I gonna defeat this thing if he is impossible to kill?!” Arthur was starting to get tired but he was still able to dodge the goblin’s punches

[THE BOSS HAS APPEARED!] The skeleton had an arch back and was short just like every other goblin Arthur saw. The skeleton had a dark robe covering it and a wooden stick that looked like a tree branch in its right hand. CLACK CLACK The skeleton moved its mouth as if it was trying to say something but the only thing Arthur could hear was the clacking sound that came from the skeleton’s mouth. “Status.”_______________________________[MOB STATUS][CURRENT STATUS: NONE][NAME: UNDEAD GOBLIN MAGE][JOB: MAGE][RACE: GOBLIN][LVL:2][HP:20/20][MP:30/30][SPEED: 1][AGILITY: 2][STRENGTH: 1][STAMINA:1][DEFENCE:1][DESCRIPTION: TALENTED GOBLIN MAGE.]_______________________________[SKILLS][PASSIVE(NONE)][MAGIC:999+][ADVANCE BLACK MAGIC: SSS+]_______________________________ “Amazing…a skeleton goblin mage…but is this even a stat of a boss?Seems pretty weak to me.”Arthur immediately dashed towards the goblin mage and attempted to throw a punch to destroy the goblin boss and finish
Early Access System Volume 1: Shadow Of The Behemoth Chapter 12 : Only A Hammer?
Death. An unexperienceable experience for the living. Many think that you would be void of any consciousness or feeling. Some believe that your soul goes to a place higher and greater than the land of the living, the believers of hell and heaven. And there are the ones who fear death believing that death would be darkness while your consciousness still exists to suffer and regret your memories for eternity. Arthur was a believer in heaven and hell. ‘Nothing, I feel nothing. I see nothing. I know nothing.’ There was no darkness, no color, no sensation. He wasn’t breathing, but he wasn’t choking. He could feel that he was moving, it was not his body that was moving, only his soul. “Arthur, wake up.” A familiar voice said. Suddenly he could feel his heart beating, and the need to breathe existed. He breathed in and out heavily, opened his eyes widely, and stood up. “I died?” “You did die. But don’t be scared, for you are now alive.” The tutorial staff said. Arthur looked around but
