When he accepted the quest [Reach Level 20 by the Weekend], Kenji knew what he had to do.
It was time to stop holding back.
No more excuses. No more half-efforts.
He had trained hard, built a solid foundation, and had started to truly understand his abilities—but now it was time to push. Time to test himself. Time to get stronger.
With the things that were looming on the horizon and the growing awareness of the supernatural world around him, he couldn't afford to stay weak.
He gripped one of the Rusty swords he got from his previous dungeon raids and summoned the system.

The first horde appeared within seconds.
Kenji's eyes sharpened. His body moved.
Every swing of his weapon was calculated. Efficient. Brutal.
The Intermediate Swordsmanship he got made themselves known as he cut through anything that got close.
He wasn't wasting energy anymore. The weeks of training had changed him. This wasn't a wild flail of arms—it was deliberate combat. He moved like a fighter.
He had gotten better than when he first started all this, he could feel it. See it in the way he no longer clumsily held his weapon, the grip and strikes.
He moved without mercy and even as time passed he could feel himself getting better. His skill levels going up.
The zombies fell like paper.

Kenji took a breath and kept going. He wasn't done yet.
For the next few days, he cleared the dungeon Multiple times. Each run sharpened his instincts. The hordes grew slower, the bosses hit less hard, His clear time getting shorter but he didn't slow down.
He fought with everything he had.

Every night after training, his body was covered in grime and sweat, after having his bath and dinner with his family, he would crash into bed,
But before sleeping, he always opened the group chat.

[Multiversal Group Chat]
[Eternal Virgin]: You've been unusually quiet, Gamer.
[Gamer – DxD]: Grinding. Got a level up quest deadline before the weekend.
[Red Cake Boss]: Hmph. I like that determination. Just don't burn yourself out.
[Self-Proclaimed Human]: The undead are efficient for mass training. But make sure your mana reserves aren't being strained disproportionately. You are still human.
[Gamer]: Thanks for the tip. I've been rotating magic and physical attacks. Mana Rope and shield are getting much more solid and gravity manipulation is getting easier to use.
[Eternal Virgin]: Oho~ Sounds like you're finally embracing the grind. Proud of you, fellow shut-in.
[Kenji]: Not shut-in. I'm just focused.
[Eternal Virgin]: Close enough.

Kenji stood at the center of the clearing, his new weapon—Blightbreaker—resting on his shoulder.
He had earned it the day before after defeating the dungeon boss and his ID leveling up to level 3. Ogre Dungeon.
It was his first rare-rank item.

The weapon was a monster—twice the weight of his old Sword, It was a broadsword and it felt right in his hands.
He could feel the improvement.
It was strength. Earned strength.
He could have stopped there.
But he didn't. He still had time before the quest time ended and so he pushed wanting to see just how far he could go.
Friday. One last dungeon raid. No breaks. No holding back. He just kept going until the time was up.

He collapsed onto the grass, arms spread wide, breathing heavily.
That was Amazing. He laughed. He could understand now why people were just so obsessed with power.With wanting to stand above everyone else.
The feeling of strength like this made it exhilarating.
The Ogre had put up more of a fight than the zombies and were on a closer level than him so it was a little more of a challenge as they weren't slow but that still was not much with the skills he had, he now had an idea of how the next dungeon level will be like.
Anyway, he had made it to level 20 and passed it, that was good enough for a week's training, his stats grew and he still had his free points to use later.

[Gamer]: Level 29. All done.
[Red Cake Boss]: Hah. Impressive. You remind me of someone I once trained with.
[Eternal Virgin]: Honestly? I didn't think you'd hit 29. I would've bet on 30 and tapped out.
[Self-Proclaimed Human]: Statistically, surpassing objectives under high-stress repetition increases neural adaptation by 43%. I'm not surprised.
[Gamer]: …Right. I'll take that as a compliment.
[Eternal Virgin]: You better. Don't forget to take a day off, though. Sleep is part of grinding too.
[Kenji]: I will. Thanks, everyone.

He shut the interface and looked up at the moonlit sky.
His mind was exhausted. Thank ROB for Gamer's Mind and Body. He didn't even want to know just how much he would be feeling if he didn't have these skills.
