Chapter 41: The weakling trying to become stronger (Part 3)

People need to be tough on themselves, push hard, to have a future.

But I might’ve been too tough.

After nearly half an hour, I practically crawled out of the gravity field.

Eyes wide, mouth gaping like a fish out of water, I gasped for air, drenched in sweat.

Sprawled on the floor like meat on a cutting board, I shakily grabbed a recovery potion I’d placed nearby, gulping it down—spilling some in my trembling.

“Huff… huff…”

After drinking, I lay spread-eagled on the cold floor, limp as a corpse.

Every inch of my body ached.

“…Why did I throw myself into double gravity like this?”

Exhausted, I muttered.

I wanted to push through, but after stumbling and rolling on the ground, I realized I didn’t even have the strength to stand.

Half an hour into training, I was running on sheer willpower.

After falling in double gravity, standing was impossible.

So, sensibly but embarrassingly… I crawled out.

“…Damn it.”

I underestimated double gravity and overestimated my potion-enhanced body.

My strength had grown, but stamina and endurance? Pathetic.

“Sigh…”

Dazed on the floor, it took another half hour to regain some energy. Then I dragged myself up.

“…Gotta buy more clothes.”

Looking down, my clothes clung stickily to my body, and my chest’s… prominent points were a bit too noticeable.

For once, I felt embarrassed—this wasn’t my house. If someone walked in, it’d be bad.

Thinking this, I gritted my teeth, shuffled over, and locked the entrance.

That eased my mind.

“…Being a woman is such a hassle. Not only do I deal with harassment, even training comes with so many worries.”

I grabbed my long hair, pinching the red tips, feeling conflicted, but soon pushed it aside.

“Huff… even if I’ll be half-dead in bed tomorrow, I have to keep training and breaking my limits!”

Taking a deep breath, I hopped a few times, feeling my strength return, then dove back into the gravity field, determined to keep pushing.

I won’t give up! I’m weak now, but that’s exactly why I can’t stop!

I will get stronger!
