Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.

"There are a lot of things that are different, but..".

As Soma saw his status window. There are a lot of things that have changed but what makes him excited the most was. He covers his mouth trying to stop the corner of his mouth from lifting up.

The Martial Saint should be considered a class inside the series Chronicles saga. Now It transforms into something more amazing than that.

"I also got the title Martial Saint inheritor. Huh! Wait, ..What!?".

Soma shot up from his bed and looked at the translucent window before him. His eyes were bloodshot after witnessing a word curse placed on his status. He didn't remember the curse stats appearing the first time he opened his status. Now, for the second time, he opened it. There is an addition in his status window that belongs to a curse.

"Curse since when I get that?".

[Curse Slow Growth: The curse that will make the user who receives it, will get a penalty for leveling up. The experience points they need for the next level up will doubled]

Curse, it was a magic that belonged to a dark magic type. There are multiple types of curse. For example, in Soma's case, it will double the experienced point he needed to level up. There are many more examples of that.

However, it also depends on the mastery of magic itself. If it's still in the beginner stage the caster probably could only cast a debuff curse toward the enemy. As for the intermediate, they could instill a nightmare or induct a poison type of curse that could endanger a person's life.

Last, for the advanced stage they could cause fatal harm to someone else's physique or mental health, and could even cast a death curse on the enemy.

The curse that affected Soma probably belonged to an advanced stage because it was affecting his growth. But he didn't remember where and when he got the curse from. "Wait, Is it because of that demon woman? If that is true then this is troublesome". muttered Soma inside his heart.

From the curse description, it seems it was not a big deal to get your experienced point doubled for leveling up. But, Chronicles Saga that Soma knows didn't give anyone an easy chance to level up.

Soma knitted his brows. He pondered what he should do to get rid of the curse. There are a lot of ways for someone to be free from its curse.

First, find a high-level light magic user, but with Soma's little connection in this world. This option could be considered a bust. Then there is also a way to get rid of it by visiting the awakeners bureau, but it will cost him a lot.

Third, Soma knows from his knowledge that there are multiple gates that will reward you with an Item that could lift his curse but his current strength is questionable.

"Fuu, ..Fine then, I just need to level up steadily at my own pace. For now, let's see what is different from my system".

However, despite those restrictions Soma didn't lose hope, he directed his gaze toward his new system that had been given by The Martial Saint.

"Hmm, They are different from the one I know".

First, his strength, agility, and endurance stats were gone. Instead, it was changed into Physique, and the intelligence was gone instead there was a Soul. As for his luck, there is no change in that.

[Physique: It was a combination of Strength, Agility, and endurance statistics. This will give the user a harmonized growth physique, that will stabilize his foundation]

[Soul: It was a higher version of Intelligence stats. It will give the user an ability unlike any other else. It was the fusion of power between Mana(Mental energy) and inner energy(Qi) that will have a greater power]

"Woah, that is amazing".

Soma didn't ever think that his statistics could become like this. This was truly befitting of the name of the Martial saint system. Soma began to look again at the other change and there was a column that said.

[Martial Saint Technique]

It has five locked slots, and can probably be unlocked after he reaches a certain level. However, he was hoping that, at that time, he didn't have to complete a certain quest or gain some enlightenment in his leveling up. If that was happening then Soma couldn't do anything just to try his best, to meet the criteria for obtaining it.

"Is that it?".

After looking thoroughly, Soma closed his eyes and began to form a plan for his future. What should he do after this?

[As the Martial Saint Inheritors, You must not forget to train your basics. To strengthen your basics you need to build a solid foundation]

[Daily Quest is delivered through your system would you like to open it]

[Yes or No]

"What?".

As Soma began to ponder about his next plan, a new translucent window notified him about the quest that had been delivered through his new system. He hesitated at first before choosing yes and the notification window changed, and began showing the content.

[Daily Quest for today Push up 100x]

[The user will be rewarded with 1 extra point on each statistic if the user completes the quest]

[Failed to do the quest will get the user a severe penalty]

"Huh?".

Soma was stupefied after reading the notification. Especially from the line that informs him about the reward of getting one extra point after finishing the quest, and that was for all the stats.

"..Is this for real?".

Normally, for the awakeners to obtain an Extra point. They must hunt some monster to gain an experience point to level up, and when they meet the requirement to level up. They will be given one raise for all stats and five Extra points each time the level rises.

However, there was a setback to this option. Because the experience point will only get bigger every time the level rises. Some people even need a couple of days to level up, it could be a week or even a month. But that doesn't apply to Soma. He could raise his stats every day if what the system says is true.

Compared to the benefit of leveling up, the one-point reward from the quest probably doesn't have a great value in it. However, what if Soma does the daily quest every single day, for a week, a month, or even a year? He will get three hundred more extra points in his stats for finishing his daily quest. The Martial saint system was definitely a ground-breaking balance-breaker system.

Soma didn't need to hunt those monsters to level up and gain those extra points. He just needs to finish the quest to get the extra point without needing to fight the monster in a faraway place. What a good offer the system gave him.

"Should I give it a try?".

Soma tilted his head to the side while holding his chin up, pondering if he should try it. Clenching his fist trying to check his body condition, Then twists every joint on his body. He didn't feel any pain or abnormalities.

After making sure there are no abnormalities in his body. Next, he tries to do some compound movements to see if his motoric sense is working fine.

"One two, one two".

Raising his hands up while opening his legs simultaneously, then doing the opposite, lowering his hands toward his waist and closing his legs at the same time. Soma felt no abnormalities and soon moved his legs, trying to find a wider place so he could do the quest.

"This place seems good".

Soma began to lower his front body until his stomach touched the hard cold white floor. Then he bent his hands and put both of his palms beside his lower chest while his elbow facing behind, keeping his core tightened and his body straight. Taking a deep breath before he pushed the ground using his palm and raised his body up.

[Daily quest progress Push-Up 1/100]

"Ooh, it works. Let's continue".

Two, then three. Soma kept pushing the floor while also enjoying the progress he made. The reps count is reaching dozens and he feels his body still could be pushed some more.

Soma found it weird, usually in his former world he only could do Probably around twelve or maybe fifteen perfect-form push-ups, if he did his best. But now, even if the rep's count already reached twenty, his chest still demanded more.

[30/100]

Finally, after his count reached thirty his chest, and triceps began to feel hot. He felt that the gravity was heavier, pushing him down. His pores began to open up, cooling his heated body by excreting some sweat. His lungs are heavy searching for air. But, he keeps trying to push the floor and try to do his best.

[40/100]

Then, after the count reached forty number, his hands gave up and his body lying on the floor. It was hard for him to breathe in the prone position so he turned his body away facing the ceiling and now he could gather air more easily for his lungs.

"..Phew, it's been a while, I am doing this".

Soma raised his upper body, and he stretched his arm to loosen the sore muscle.

The rest time was over, and Soma began to shift his body into a pushing position on the floor. He began to continue his reps.

Seventy reps had passed and Soma's condition was getting worse. His hands were trembling when trying to push his body up, but still, he managed to reach eighty reps before he collapsed on the floor gasping for breath.

"Ha, ha, ..Man, ..that was hard".

Then Soma after enough resting began to continue the push-up quest. When the count already reached ninety, that's where the hard part began. His pace was much slower than his first time doing it. He even took a couple of seconds to rest in each rep.

"...Ninety …eight".

After pushing his body up, he lowered it slowly until it touched the ground and took a rest. A few seconds later, he began to gather the energy toward his hand trying to push his now heavy body up, trying to define gravity.

"Uuukh, …Ninety ..nine".

For the final push, Soma grits his teeth, and with his now trembling hands like a deer infant feet. He squeezed every last drop of strength he got in his body, pushing his body up.

"Uuukh,,, hundred!".

[100/100]

Success in pushing his body up, and seeing the progress that finally reached the target made him sigh with relief before strength began to leave his hands and his body dropped down to the wet floor.

"Ouch!"
