I woke up earlier today and had a fast breakfast as I was quite excited about skill training, as a person who couldn''t even use a spoon; weapon & martial training were just fantasy I read occasionally in novels.
I browsed the several skills that were already in my mind as I thought about my priorities, since I had plans to start clearing the quest log as soon as possible as I didn''t have much time to learn every skill I read, so learning a few useful ones would do just right.
After half an hour of thinking I settled on learning sword skills for weapons for the time being.
[ Activating ''OMNI-Mastery'' ….. ]
[ Skill acquisition list:
''Sword-Mastery'': swing a sword 100 times {0/100}
''swift swordsmanship'': repeat the 5 moves 25 times each {0/125}
''Vital Dagger strike'': stab an target''s in a vital point 100 times {0/100}]
I checked the ''Sword-Mastery'' skill for more details
[''Sword-Mastery'' acquisition requirements:
* swing a sword 100 times {0/100} for ten days {0/10}
* learn at least one swordsmanship skill (lv.1, one star grade)]
''I guess it won''t be that easy'' I thought to myself, although the requirement turned to be more demanding it was still a cheat no matter how one thought about it.
According to the tutorial info, learning skills especially the weapon type required a long time, learning one in 30 days would be abnormal in its own, let alone in 10 days!
But still it seemed quite a waste of time to just do this little training for a whole day, since I had to train for 10 days to acquire 1 skill, I decided to pick up all the weapons I could learn using.
So, I checked other mastery skills that I could learn with the weapons I had home, which had similar acquisition requirements to sword mastery except slightly longer number of days, like archery which required shooting 100 arrows for 13 days.
-> Sword: 100 swings, 10 days
-> Spear:150 stabs, 11 days
-> Bow: 100 shots, 13 days
-> Dagger: 80 side-stabs, 12 days
-> Halberd: 200 attacks, 11 days
The new daily training plan that felt so empty was suddenly filled to the brim.
I decided pick up weapon specified skills next, which I didn''t have hard time doing since there was only one or two of such skills in my mind, so I settled it up quickly.
I collected the weapons from the training room to the backyard where all the training targets were piled, starting today, my daily harsh training continues.

Ten days later…..
[''Swift Swordsmanship'' acquisition requirements:
*Repeat the 5 moves 25 times each {125/125}]
[You have learned ''Swift Swordsmanship'' lv.1]
[''Swift Swordsmanship'' lv.1 (one-star grade)

[''Sword-Mastery'' acquisition requirements:

* learn at least one swordsmanship skill (lv.1, one star grade) {1/1}]
I swung the sword one more time, and then, I was assaulted by an abnormal feeling, I felt as if countless swords were tearing their way into my body that I almost screamed with pain, but luckily it was only a momentary phenomenon.
[You have acquired ''Sword-Mastery'' lv.1]
[You body accepts the baptism of the sword, strength increases by 2]
[Strength +2 -> Strength: 12]
"Jackpot!"
It was all I could think about at this moment, the choice of mastering every weapon I could get my hand on, which sounded so ridiculous, just became the wisest choice I made, since I couldn''t boost my stats further through training, if every mastery skill increased 1 or 2 stats point then that would mean that I could increase my stats about by about 4~8 points more!
The most important part about this was the strange feeling I was experiencing just now.
The crude training sword that I held in my hand, I could feel its heartbeat as if it was alive….
[''Sword-Mastery'' lv.1

*Attacks'' Strength & Damage increase by 10% when wielding a sword
