I slammed to the floor with nary a grunt, the sword clattering from my fingers. I stared at the ceiling.

'Yes please,' I thought as I unsteadily rose from the floor. Shakily, I clasped the hilt of the Imperial gold blade and slowly lifted it from the floor.

I observed the automation, my arms straining to keep the blade upright

About: A creation of a son of Vulcan, this trainer bot was made to help better young legionnaires in the art of teamwork.
Thoughts about you: None.
'Adjustable?'
The automation's difficulty can be adjusted. The level of the robot can be changed via verbal commands.
'Interesting' Did I want to adjust the difficulty to win? I did. The bot has been defeating me for a day now. It was tempting, but unbiddenly a few memories came to mind.
'To know strength, one must be broken.'
'Know this; the strong once was weak.'
'Just because it's easy, doesn't make it right
One day, I'll be strong enough to face the bot evenly. One day, I'll match and surpass the bot. But that day is not today.
'If not for the rewards, then for the stats.' I thought as I raised my sword.
"Simulation swordplay trial commences; activation sequence three-eight-one," I said, watching as a sword slid from the automation's forearm.
"Acknowledged. Commencing simulation on three," My arms screamed in protest.
"One." My foot slid back, preparing for the bot's starting thrust.
"Two." My sword wavered and I sweated from exhaustion.
"Three," The bot lunged, its rectangular shield away from its chest and its pilus pointed to skewer me. I twisted with extreme difficulty and swung my blade. The blade caught the shaft of the pilus and the automation stepped back, the shield brought forward as the pilus head went flying. The shaft clattered to the ground as it stabbed with its sword. I parried the blade away and stumbled back as the shield slammed into me.
-25 HP!
I blinked as my head rang in pain. I hissed, my blade clattering to the floor as the automaton's blade bite into my forearm.
-40 HP!
Bleeding status gained! (-25 per minute!)
My head rang as the automaton slammed its shield into me. I collapsed and rolled to the side. The clang of steel on steel told me that my move was justified. I choked as it stomped on me.
"Simulation trial completed. Subject has failed." An emotionless voice said
Mission failed!
Mission; Beat the training automation
Rewards: 300XP, Novice Sword Mastery Skill unlocked.
Failure: No reward.
I sighed. "Get off me," The bot complied and I twisted, inhaling the much-needed oxygen. Slow claps echoed throughout the training room.
"To fall before Roman's machinery," Alabaster said, his voice echoing throughout the room. "Can you stoop any lower?"
"He is a Greek my son," Said Julius. "Do not expect much from him. You, though, are destined for greatness."
I watched as my brother got the love I never had, the encouragement I'd never receive in this world. I watched as his chest puffed out and he smirked, his firm but slender arms clasped around a beautiful sword and shield.

I snarled, my arms sluggishly going into the pushup position. My muscles ached and my body shook as I pushed myself up. I gasped, the little strength leaving me and I slammed into the hard concrete. I panted from the exertion, and sweat dripped unto the floor.
"Let's go. There's no one here of importance," I blinked, the feeling of pain and sorrow appearing for only a second before vanishing.
The life of a gamer is hard. The sounds of exhaustion filled the silent room. I coughed and heaved, and with a push, turned myself over. I panted as I stared at the ceiling. I stared at the purple ceiling, with lights all forming the initials 'SPQR'. I felt despair for only a moment.

My eyebrows twitched. 'I get INT for the more things I know huh? I'm guessing I'm getting more endurance from the blows I get, Agility, speed, from movement. STR would mean strength, that's why I'm so weak my STR stat is one. CHA would be my charisma, wouldn't it?'

'Yes' I thought as I said aloud; "Simulation swordplay trial start; activation sequence three-eight-one," The automation moved, its sword being resheathed as it stretched out its hand.
"Acknowledged. Commencing simulation on three," I watched as the spear mended itself
"One."The spear flew into its hand. I jumped back, creating distance between myself and the trainer.
"Two." Its foot slid forward, and I prepared myself as best as I could.
"Three," It lunged and I darted to the side, watching as its golden foot dug into the concrete before it turned its shield brought towards its chest as its soulless eyes watched me. Slowly, it moved forward, the Shield covering its front and the spear jutting from the right side. I eyed the bot warily and stepped back to every step it made. It brought the shield to its side and lunged. Eyes wide, I tilted to the left as the spear's tip flew past me. I ducked as the spear suddenly swiped to the left.
Endurance Check: Required: 50 Have: 36

-50HP!
I gasped, my head ringing as I stumbled back. I dodged right, my sword glancing off its shield. It pursued, spear aimed for my head. It jabbed and I tilted my head to the right while stepping backwards. It jabbed again and I tilted to the left. I skirted to the right, the spear moving almost in slow motion as I swung my sword upwards. The tip flew in the air and I grinned.
The automation stepped back and twirled the shaft between its metallic fingers. It lunged and swung. I jumped back, the shaft whizzing past my stomach twice in quick succession before the automation twirled it again and jabbed at me. With a grunt and a squish of my sword, I parried the strike. A twirl and of the shaft and it was coming towards me again. I parried And the bot stepped forward and the shield slammed into my chest and face.

Failed!
I tilted the staff, the sword falling downwards as it slammed into the automation's shield. I stepped back, the staff directing the sword away from me and once again, slamming into the shield.
When the sword came towards me again, it was redirected and my staff always smacked the shield.
I step forward and swept low, the staff slamming into the automation's calf.

-1000 HP!
I grunted as I stood, the robot darting towards me, bloodied sword pointed towards me.
You utter Fool. System, deactivate the gamer's mind.

When the gamer reaches a new level he receives +5 stat points for all stats. That's why he went from 1 to 11 after gaining two levels in STR.
So does everyone else. That's why his father, sister and Alabaster are OP.
Alabaster is Roman in this fic if you haven't noticed.
This is the beginning of the Training Arc. Probably might last four more chapters at most.
Til next time.
Thanks for the first follow zalohvili. I appreciate it.
