[Ancient Calendar: 2 Jan 0001]

  The next day, after waking up, Kamil immediately headed toward the Fairy market stationed at the heart of the village.

  “I should sell the skill book. 5 Silver coins aren't going to get me that many pills.”

  Kamil was planning on buying Body Refining Pills to strengthen his body so he could use Ki without hurting himself.

  But everyone only got 5 Silver coins as a starting fund, which weren't even enough for 4 Body Refining Pills.

  “I would like to sell a [Skill Book].” Approaching the front desk of the Sky Treasure House, Kamil said to the Fairy.

  “[Skill Book]? Are you sure?” The Fairy was surprised that someone had gotten their hands on a [Skill Book] so early.

  “Yes, it's this one.” Kamil calmly placed the C-rank [Skill Book: Aura] on the desk.

  “A C-rank!.....I can give you 1,300 gold coins for it.” The Fairy was shocked.

  Today was just the second day, and the human before her had already found a C-rank [Skill Book].

  Even if the [Skill Book] didn't contain a powerful skill, it was still an achievement.

  “Is he blessed by luck, or is it beginner's luck?” As Kamil left, the Fairy wondered to herself.

  After leaving Sky Treasure House with his pockets filled with gold coins, Kamil headed toward his next stop: the Sky Pill Shop.

  As someone from the future, Kamil knew everything about the Ascension Program. From the location of treasure chests to the secrets of leveling up quickly.

  Although the randomization of the treasure chests put a dent in his plans, it didn't have much of an effect on his leveling-up roadmap.

  “I would like to buy 10 bottles of Advanced Body Refining Pills.” Entering the Sky Pill Shop, Kamil asked about Advanced Body Refining Pills.

  “Are you sure? 10 bottles of Body Refining Pills are 14 gold coins.” The Fairy responsible for sales at the Sky Pill Shop was surprised.

  If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  Did the human perhaps rob a Fairy? After all, it wasn't possible to gather 14 gold coins in a single day.

  “Perhaps he meant 10 pills, not ten bottles.” The Fairy wondered to himself while waiting for Kamil to reply.

  “Not the Body Refining Pills, I want 10 bottles of Advanced Body Refining Pills.” Kamil corrected the Fairy.

  “What! You want 10 bottles of Advanced Body Refining Pills?” The Fairy was shocked.

  Unlike the bottle of Body Refining Pills which only cost 14 Silver coins, the Advanced Body Refining Pills cost 10 Gold coins; a bottle is worth 100 gold coins.

  And the human before him wanted to buy 10 bottles of Advanced Body Refining Pills worth 1,000 gold coins, how could the Fairy not be shocked.

  “Yes, here.” Under the shocked gaze of the Fairy, Kamil emptied most of his pockets onto the counter.

  “Please wait.” Coming back to his senses, the Fairy counted the money and headed to the owner for the pills.

  “I heard about it. He just sold a C-rank Skill Book at the Treasure House. Here, take these and don't disturb me anymore.”

  The manager of the Sky Pill Shop calmed the Fairy and handed him a few bottles.

  Leaving the owner's room, the Fairy returned with a dazed expression on his face and placed the bottles of Advanced Body Refining Pills before the human.

  “Thanks, can I also have a bottle of Food Pills?” Kamil hadn't eaten anything since the moment he regressed back in time.

  “Not those, the other Elite Food Pills.” Kamil spoke as he saw the Fairy picking basic Food Pills.

  Although the basic Food Pills also provide the body with enough energy to go on for a day, they had a bad hunger effect and Kamil didn't want any of that.

  “It would be 10 gold coins.” The Fairy's first experience with the human wasn't what he had expected.

  Paying, Kamil stuffed all the bottles in a paper bag and headed back to the housing complex.

  “So you are saying those miniature flying Fairies are behind everything?”

  “Yeah, to me it seems like we all were abducted for some sort of sick experiment or a reality show.”

  “How about we just kill them? They are the size of birds and we can easily overpower them.”

  “Idiot, although they look small, they have some sort of superpower that allows them to move things with their mind.”

  Ignoring the conversation that the members of the housing complex were having, Kamil entered his room and locked the door.

  “With one bottle of the Advanced Body Refining Pills, I should be able to forge a Bronze body. After that, I will head toward Iron Clawed Brute’s territory. After increasing my reserves, I can then form a party and get a lot of rewards from party rankings.” Before taking the Body Refining Pill, Kamil began revising his plans for the future.

  Growl Growl

  “It tastes the same as I remember. Now I can start.” A few minutes after the Food Pill, Kamil popped an Advanced Body Refining Pill.

  A single Elite Food Pill was enough for a mortal like him to go on for a week without needing food.

  Soon, hours went by.

  “I really don't have any talent for Body Refining. Half of the pills' energy was lost.” While complaining, Kamil took another Advanced Body Refining Pill.

  [Ancient Calendar: 3 Jan 0001]

  “It would take at least three more days.” Kamil was getting bored being holed up inside a small room.

  However, the voices of his wife and daughter kept him going.

  [Ancient Calendar: 4 Jan 0001]

  “I wonder how Yara is doing? Right now, she should be with Master Kai. If Fairies hadn't taken him away, nothing would have happened to Yara……

  I am getting distracted again. Yara and Zara are still alive. I just need to get stronger.”

  By the third day, Kamil was having a hard time continuing the same boring process of taking a Body Refining Pill and then slowly letting his body absorb the energy released from the pill.

  [Ancient Calendar: 5 Jan 0001]

  “…….I am so close.”

  [Ancient Calendar: 6 Jan 0001]

  “Finally!! I was on the brink of losing my mind.” By the evening, Kamil had successfully reforged his body.

  [User: Kamil

  “Thankfully, I spent the first day increasing my reserves; otherwise, I would have gone mad if I had to continue being holed up here for another day.”

  Looking at his status panel, Kamil was happy that he spent the first day of the Ascension Program increasing his Ki reserves.
