The dark figure stood in front of me but didn't talk . It struck me as odd and different . It would always talk so why wouldn't it do so now? I then shouted towards the dark figure "Hey! are you finally going to give me a break?" but the it just stood there . I started to move toward the dark figure at a slow pace, as if testing the grounds .

When I was couple of metres away, I noticed movement from the dark figure . It didn't punch me or kick me, it simply did something over and over again . I was shocked at what I saw and though 'Just what the f.u.c.k is this thing doing exactly! It just arbitrarily decided to train right now and that's it?' .

'But why the h.e.l.l did it change again? It is not attacking me anymore and simply trains something . Just… Why?' . The dark figure was training something weird at that . It would jump like a frog or run on all fours as if it was some sort of animal . It would also walk slowly in a very weird pose and even roll on the ground like a wheel .

I thought 'Why did it change? That is the fundamental question . What happened for it to change?' . After a while of thinking and pondering about it, I began to suspect something . 'It's a bit weird that this dark figure starts to train something when I decided to train in reality' my thoughts then continued 'If that is the case, what if I start training my skills instead of strength . Would it change again?'

Although I couldn't be certain for now but I wanted to test it and know immediately . "Yet I'm in the dream right now and I don't know how long it will take for me to wake up . If that is the case then why not train as well? I might just do it while I wait for the dream to end" .

I started to train as well . I stretched for a bit first in order to warm up my muscles . I then tried to do one of the exercises that my father used to do in the past but the moment I started the real training, the dark figure immediately stopped and ran at me . I was stupefied and again didn't know what was going on . I soon found out . The dark figure kicked me and I died .

When I opened my eyes, I was not in a dream anymore . Instead I was laying on my bed . I screamed loudly "Just what the f.u.c.k is that dream!" and woke Sh.e.l.ly up, who had no clue as to why I would shout such stuff first thing in the morning . 'This d.a.m.ned dream is playing tricks on me . I need to change my training to skills instead of strength and we will see whenever the dream changes as well' I thought and got up from bed .

'This d.a.m.ned dream is playing tricks on me . I need to change my training to skills instead of strength and we will see whenever the dream changes as well' I thought and got up from bed .

I practised the 1st modified diagram as usual and then took a rest before practising the 2nd modified diagram . After that, I did my training with Stringed Hidden Weapons even though I still carried that whole weight on me . Later on, I trained with Sh.e.l.ly using the puppets and then we hunted after which I trained in the Stringed Hidden Weapons skill again .

I didn't do any exercises that day, of course besides the diagrams from the Strength Manual which I always did anyway . Late in the evening, I finished my training and went to bed . 'Let's see if this dream changes again' I thought and soon after fell asleep .

When I opened my eyes, the dark figure was standing in front of me talking away . "This…" I didn't know what to say and how to describe that situation . The dream indeed changed to the one I always had . The familiar feeling of dying and listening to the dark figure speaking away was now bewildering . 'Then does it mean that if I do stuff like play on some instruments whole day, the dream would be different again? This is preposterous!' I screamed in my head .

I couldn't focus at all on the dark figure and the words it spoke . I simply died 20 times and woke up in my bed . I thought 'Let's think about this rationally . If my actions affect what is going to happen in my dream, then does that mean it has some kind of deeper meaning . Maybe the dreams are much more than just dreams' . When It came to skills, the dark figure would first talk and then kill me with a skill .

When It came to skills, the dark figure would first talk and then kill me with a skill .

When I trained my body on the other hand, the dark figure from my dream would train all the time in some weird ways . I could walk, talk and so on but the dark figure would simply train . Yet when I wanted to train as well, it attacked me immediately . 'What the h.e.l.l is that supposed to mean?' I thought and suddenly, I got an idea .

'What if I try to repeat the same exercise that the dark figure does, would it attack me then?' . I couldn't replicate the skills of that dark figure when it came to my original dream but doing the same weird poses was not that difficult to copy . I formed a new plan where I would return to my strength training and when it was time to sleep, I would repeat what the dark figure did . 'We will see what type of effects will this have' I thought and got out from my bed to start my day .

After breakfast I did the usual morning training, I then fed Sh.e.l.ly and trained with it using the puppets . I added another puppet to make 3 but my control of them was quite poor so I decided to just stick with 2 puppets . After training with Sh.e.l.ly, I went out for a run . I decided to do 30 minutes of running on my legs then rest and another 30 minutes of "running" but this time on my arms .

My muscles got used to the weight a bit already . I ran for 30 minutes and felt that I could go on some more . I still decided not to go that far and do it systematically . I rested for about 30 minutes and then tried to do running using my arms .

I as a human being, was not adapted to walking on my arms, especially with the weight I was carrying . I couldn't maintain the proper balance when I tried to move . It was actually much harder than just walking . I decided to change the 'oh so weird' arms running into walking . When you were born, you had to learn how to walk first in order to run .

It was the same in this situation . I used my arms as, well arms not legs . Therefore my balance upside down was affected greatly and I first needed to learn how to maintain my balance and learn to walk . I could then change this to running .

I trained like this till afternoon when I called for Sh.e.l.ly in order to go and hunt something for our dinner and breakfast . Sh.e.l.ly came running and it seemed that the mask was not very effective for Sh.e.l.ly anymore . Although during the puppet training, It would struggle due to my control skills but running around the shelter and areas near it, posed no problems for Sh.e.l.ly .

I also wanted to try something new when hunting this time but I first wanted to make sure that the group we encounter is not deadly . Like this we traveled deeper into the forest in search of prey .
