LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 2: A New Beginning
Seven years had passed since Arima was born into this world.
His father worked on the rice farm in the day. And her mother, who looks after him, cleans the house, and cooks, is just a housewife.
"WAAAAAAAAAAHH"
Arima yawned as he woke up in his bed.
Arima's habits from his past life are still with him, but some have changed.
He stood up from his bed, cleaned it, put his pillow aside, and organized it carefully, just as Raevhen had taught him.
After organizing his bed, he came out of his room and greeted his mother. "Good morning." Raevhen greeted back, "Good morning, Arima," While she was cleaning the house
and he saw his father in the outside preparing the tools needed in the farm and his co workers in there waiting for his father
'Jayce, hurry up, or we will suffer again in the noon heat'
"Yeah, yeah, it's already finished. I'll be there." jayce said
Then, before he went to them, he kissed Raevhen before leaving.
'Take care,' Raevhen said with concern, waving at them.
Then, a moment later, when his father and his companions were far away.
Arima went outside to sniff the air. "HMMMMMMMMMM," he took a deep breath, then exhaled, "WAAAAH!"
"The air here is refreshing and clean, and other than that, it's peaceful," Arima said, while looking at the blue sky.
After Arima sniffed the air, he went inside and asked Raevhen, "Mother, what did you cook for breakfast?"
"Boiled egg" raevhen answer
"Boiled egg," Arima repeated, his face long. "What a cheap food," he thought.
"Yes, Arima, why don't you want to eat this?" Raevhen stared at Arima.
"No, no, no, mother!" Arima said, while wiggling his hands.
Arima went to the kitchen to see Raevhen cooking. He opened the container, and the air inside rushed out, hitting Arima's face. "AHHHHHH IT HURTS !" Arima yelled because of the heat.
Raevhen shouted, "Arima, be careful opening it! It's still hot!"
"It's too late now, I just got hit in the face," Arima said, while coughing.
Then he took one of the bowls and three eggs, placing them in the bowl. The eggs were different from those in his past life; these eggs were green in color and had a circular shape.
"Arima sat on the chair and placed his bowl on the table. He carefully took one of the eggs, his hands trembling with anxiety, wondering what kind of taste it would have.
Peeling the egg slowly, little by little, he could see the inside of it. His curiosity grew stronger and stronger, and he began to worry about what it might be and what it would taste like. 'Is this truly an egg?' he thought.
After opening it, he felt a little relieved because the inside was white, like a normal egg. He sighed, but the taste still left him wondering. He divided the egg, and the yolk was a little different in color. Instead of yellow, it was orange, mixed with white.
He slowly ate it, and when the egg reached his tongue, he chewed it slowly Then he finally tasted the egg, the taste was good like chicken, and Arima finally felt relieved. He quickly ate the other part, and while still chewing, he peeled another.
Then, quickly eating the next one, only the last one was left. While chewing, he asked Raevhen, 'Mother, what kind of egg is this? It's good,' Arima said
"Raevhen answered, smiling, 'I'm glad you liked it, Arima.'
That's the egg of a snake,' she added.
While Raevhen was explaining how his father got it, Arima blew out all the egg from his mouth.
"WHAAAAAT??" Arima yelled. "I thought it was from a chicken because it was tasty and reshaped, but... but... this is kind of worse.
Raevhen replied, 'What did you say, Arima?' because Arima was mumbling, and Raevhen didn't hear him completely.
'Nothing,' Arima said, his face showing disgust. 'I thought it was good, but I didn't know it was a snake egg. What kind of snake has an egg that's green and a different shape?
Then he stood up from the chair and asked his mother for permission to go outside. Raevhen agreed. 'But you need to come back by noon because your father will be home to eat,' Raevhen said.
Arima immediately ran outside and picked up his toy sword.
Arima walked through the field, looking around for a perfect place to practice his sword.
his eyes scanned the area, narrowing as he searched. Then, he spotted a big tree to his left, near the forest."
"'It's there,' Arima pointed with his finger.
He hurried over there. The surroundings were fresh, making it a great place for him, and there was no one around to see him.
Arima opened his status screen to check his current abilities, and a blue screen appeared.

Arima searched the screen, scrolling to find a clue about it. After a moment of scrolling, the system gave Arima an instruction.
[Complete the following quest]
25 push-ups
25 sit-ups
25 squats
[Complete this daily quest and you will receive a reward.]
Arima got excited about it. The reward was something he had been looking forward to, just like he had read about in novels and fantasy anime in his old life.
This system made him happy, and without wasting a second, he started as his heart beat loudly with excitement.
He started with squats, one of the hardest exercises Because it was difficult to lift the body and breathe at the same time.
He counted, '1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 13, 16.' Then, just before he reached 25, he realized that his new body had little oxygen left and had already reached its limit. He began gasping for air.
But Arima continued, He shouted loudly, 'Twenntttttty-five!' His heart was racing. It was just one workout, but he was already exhausted.
He relaxed for a minute, then moved on to push-ups. He placed both hands on the ground and started counting, '1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10.' His hands were starting to crumble, but he was only halfway through.
His sweat was dropping to the ground, and with each rep, the intensity grew. His body felt heavier, and it became hard to push up, as if someone were sitting on his back.
After a moment of hard work, Arima overcame it and completed the 25 reps. He thought he couldn't go any further: his body was so heavy, and his hands were crumbling to the ground.
But thinking about the outcome, He was curious about the reward he would receive if he endured it all. He wondered if it would be something like the superpowers or magical tools he had seen in anime.
The thought of the reward reignited his motivation, and He's body. felt lighter the moment he thought about it. He continued with the final workout. Lying on the grass, he took a deep breath and started to count.
As he was working out under the tree, a girl around his age approached him, seeing Arima working out
"He's working out, amazing," her eyes dazzled as she stared at Arima in far
As she approached Arima,
she muttered 'What's that called?'
he immediately panicked when the girl approached. He stopped after 4 reps and stood up
"Who are you?" Arima asked, mumbling his words and feeling anxious at the same time.
