It was only a few days ago, where Gary couldn't do any type of physical activity and now, he was planning to scale the side of an apartment block. Leaping up, Gary had jumped higher than he had ever before and grabbed onto one of the ledges.
He could feel his muscles working, and soon propped his other arm up to grab onto the ledge with both of his arms up. The only way to progress further up, was if he leapt up to the next windowsill, or if he jumped to the metal pipe and attempted to climb that.
After completing the first jump, he was full of confidence and swung his body over, but, at the last second, he hesitated. Still his body weight had swung in motion and his fingertips had left the windowsill.
“Aw Crap!” Gary shouted, as he had completely missed the metal pipe and had fallen onto the solid hard concrete.
“That freaking hurt.” Gary said, attempting to get up slowly. His heart was still beating fast though and his energy points were going down quicker than when he didn't use the skill.
'I guess, even if this skill does make me stronger, it still doesn't change me, I need to get used to it.' He started to flex his fingertips a bit and could see that the skin on it had slightly ripped as well, and his arms were now sore from holding onto the ledge, but he could feel the pain going away quickly.
'I guess, double my current strength and stats isn't so impressive. If I can improve my whole-body shape and increase my stats, that will also make the skill more effective. I also have to be wary of my energy points.
'Using the skill itself takes up ten energy points, and it almost feels like an adrenaline shot, but then I have less points to heal myself with. While getting my heart rate up naturally that high, it won't use the energy points initially.
'But other than thinking of that… I don't really have a good method of controlling my heart rate.'
Thinking of that said person, Gary almost forgot the reason why he was trying to scale the wall in the first place. He thought if he got up high, then maybe he could start leaping across rooftops while following the girl.
'He threw up… Why did he throw up?! Don't tell me it was from the chocolate bar!!!' Tom started to panic.
