SWNOVELXO Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Training_1
> [New Ability Unlocked: Infinite Energy] You will never run out of stamina or experience physical fatigue. This allows unlimited high-performance exertion regardless of duration or intensity.
Asher stood beneath the flickering lights of the lower training chamber. The air was cold, yet his body was perfectly still—vibrating subtly with the raw, restrained energy surging through every cell. He blinked once. His hands clenched into fists.
The moment the ability registered, he felt it.
A deep thrum beneath his skin. Like the Earth itself had gifted him a core that could never run dry.
He tilted his head back and exhaled.
"So this is what it's like to become limitless."

The alarm chimed exactly at 3:00 AM. Though sleep wasn't a necessity anymore, Asher kept to the schedule religiously.
He rose from his bed, the house silent around him. The moonlight slipped in through the tall windows, casting pale ribbons of light across the floor. The estate, quiet and untouched by the chaos of his inner world, was his domain.
He slid on his custom-fitted training gear and made his way to the reinforced training floor beneath the east wing.
3:00–4:00 AM – 1000 Pushups.
With perfect form and rhythm, he started.
One. Two. Three.
Hundred.
His system monitored his pace, adjusting angles and suggesting corrections in real-time.
> [Pushup Count: 742... Complete muscle groups balanced. Adjust hand spread 0.2 cm wider for optimal triceps activation.]
He nodded, silent.
By 4:00 AM, his arms were pulsing—not with fatigue, but from consistent activation. Not a single breath lost.
---
4:00–5:00 AM – 1000 Pullups.
Asher scaled the titanium bars mounted on the far wall. His hands wrapped around the grips, and the first rep began.
Each pull-up lifted him like a ghost. No grunts. No jerks. Just precision.
> [Pull-up Count: 897... Shoulder rotation optimal. Lat definition rising.]
By the time 5:00 AM arrived, his back and shoulders were fully engaged.
---
5:00–6:00 AM – 1000 Curl-ups.
He lay flat on the cool mat. Core engaged, he curled up with robotic consistency, upper body rising with speed and control.
> [Core Activation: 98%. Engage breath control to maximize oxygen efficiency.]
The Infinite Energy surged, giving his muscles the support to maintain perfect form for an hour straight.
---
6:00–7:00 AM – 1000 Sit-ups.
A near-identical movement but slower and deeper. He altered the tempo to isolate specific abdominal zones.
By 7:00 AM, sweat glistened across his skin—not from exhaustion, but pure physical reaction. His breathing was steady. His heartbeat calm.
---
7:00–8:00 AM – 20 KM Run.
Outside, the estate grounds lay dew-covered and silent.
Asher launched into the run like a bullet. His feet struck the earth with silent determination. Trees blurred past. Birds stirred overhead.
> [Pace: 3:15 per kilometre. Projected finish: 1 hr 5 mins. Heart rate: 70 bpm.]
He finished 20 kilometres in exactly 60 minutes. The final 400 metres he sprinted—just because he could.
---
8:00–8:10 AM – Breakfast.
Ten minutes. That's all he allowed himself.
He consumed a high-calorie meal consisting of scrambled eggs, grilled chicken, protein bread, and nutrient-rich smoothies. The staff didn't question him anymore. They simply adapted.
Cain and Ellen watched their brother eat in fascination.
"You're like a robot," Ellen muttered.
Asher gave her a soft smile. "No. I'll become whatever you want me to be."
---
8:11 AM–9:00 PM – Martial Arts Training.
The main hall transformed each day into a dojo of rotating disciplines. Through Raven Enterprise's private network, Asher had secured hundreds of training videos, blueprints, and even remote AI tutors to guide his form.
Muay Thai. Boxing. Jiu-Jitsu. Krav Maga. Silat. Taekwondo. Wing Chun. Aikido. Capoeira. Sambo. Jeet Kune Do. Shaolin Techniques. Ninjutsu. Judo. Kickboxing. Baguazhang. Pencak Silat. Vale Tudo. Karate. Sumo. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. HEMA. Kalaripayattu. Eskrima. Savate. Sanda. Systema. Hung Gar. Taekkyeon. Liu He Ba Fa.
Every hour, a different art.
By 9:00 PM, his strikes were faster than most humans could see. His reaction time, near perfect.
He sparred with AI-generated opponents, pressure dummies, and even holographic simulations.
His system updated continuously:
> [Martial Mastery Progress: 12.3% of global forms achieved.]
> [Peak movement unlocked in: Taekwondo, Silat, and Aikido.]
---
9:00 PM–3:00 AM – Armour Crafting.
The final hours were sacred. Asher retreated to his private workshop.
The glow of plasma welders and molecular binders cast long shadows across the walls. Asher, goggles pulled over his eyes, worked with surgeon-like precision.
> [New Design Uploaded: PHANTOMSKIN – Shadow Circuit Variant]
> [Features: Built-in temperature equalisation. Passive impact compression. Hidden blade sleeve. EMP resistance. AI-integrated targeting HUD.]
He sent occasional messages to Dr. Harland.
[Asher ➤ Harland @ 1:14 AM]: Sending a new rejuvenation formula. Try blending with lotus extract—should boost tissue elasticity.
[Harland ➤ Asher]: Already started human trials. First subject reversed their hair greying. Approval incoming.
Asher wiped grease from his fingers.
"Another one…"
> [Armour Completion Status: Variant VI 65% Done.]
By 3:00 AM, the day ended.
And began again.
