Ethan had taken on the responsibility of caring for the bear cub with all the dedication. He made sure the cub had a comfortable place to sleep, and he spent countless hours playing with the little creature. He had even fashioned a small obstacle course for the cub to play and climb on, providing the perfect environment for the bear cub to learn and grow.
One of the most important tasks Ethan had to keep up with was providing the bear cub with the proper nutrition. Since the cub was still young, it relied on milk for nourishment, and Ethan made sure that it had a regular supply. He had learned to milk the cows that roamed the outskirts of the forest, ensuring that the bear cub always had enough to eat.
Ethan's days were filled with a routine of caring for the bear cub and continuing his own physical training. He had always been determined to push his body to its limits, constantly seeking to reach the next level of strength and agility. And even with the responsibilities of caring for the bear cub, he was determined not to let his own training fall by the wayside.
In between caring for the bear cub, Ethan would spend hours honing his skills, training with the weight of logs and rocks, running through the forest, and training his heightened senses.
Despite the demands of caring for the bear cub and his own training, Ethan always made time to play with the bear cub. Whether it was wrestling with the little creature, or simply laying in the grass and watching as the bear cub tumbled and played, Ethan cherished these moments with the bear cub.
As the bear cub grew, Ethan began to incorporate the cub into his training routine. He would set up small challenges for the bear cub, encouraging it to climb over fallen trees or run through the underbrush. Through this, Ethan hoped to build the cub's strength and agility, preparing it for life in the wild.
One day, as Ethan sat with the bear cub, watching as it played, he realized that the bond between them had grown stronger than he could have imagined.
Ethan continued his training, knowing that by becoming stronger and more skilled, he would be better able to protect himself and the bear cub. And as the days turned into months, the bear cub grew stronger and more independent, but it always came back to Ethan, seeking comfort and companionship.
Despite the challenges and responsibilities, Ethan was grateful for the opportunity to care for the bear cub. Watching the little creature grow and thrive brought him a deep sense of fulfillment, and he knew that he would always cherish the memories of their time together in the forest.
It had been a total of one year and seven months for which Ethan had stayed in the forest.
The first few weeks were the most challenging for Ethan. He had always been a city boy, surrounded by the comforts of modern life, and now he found himself having to fend for himself in the wilderness. He had to learn how to build a shelter, find food, and stay safe from the wild animals that roamed the forest. It was a steep learning curve, but Ethan was determined to make it work.
Fortunately, he had watched the show of Bear Grylls back on Earth quite a few times, which made his life in forest a bit easier. Moroeover there was no stronger predator present in the forest aside him. Well if you only consider the wild animals present in the forest.
Most of his day was spent in training and the rest of the remaining time was spent on caring for and playing with the bear cub.
Playing with cub became Ethan's favorite pastime, and he found that he didn't miss the modes of entertainment of modern life as much as he thought he would. The joy of spending time with the cub, teaching it new things, and watching it grow quickly became the highlight of his days. He found a deep sense of fulfillment in caring for the cub, and the bond they shared brought him a happiness that he had never experienced before.
Currently, Ethan stood beside a huge tree while covering entirely with sweat as he was training his physique.
Ethan had been training for months, pushing himself harder and harder each day in order to break through to level 2 in his physique. As he stood beside the huge tree, his muscles tensed and sweat poured down his face, he could feel a surge of energy building within him. It was a sensation unlike anything he had ever experienced, a pleasant warmth coursing through his body, heightening his senses and making him feel more alive than ever before.
As the energy pulsed through him, Ethan's muscles seemed to expand and strengthen before his very eyes. His heightened senses became even sharper, allowing him to hear the soft rustling of leaves in the wind and feel the gentle vibration of the earth beneath his feet. It was as if a whole new world had opened up to him, and he was more connected to it than ever before.
With each passing moment, Ethan felt himself becoming more powerful, more in tune with the world around him. His movements became fluid and effortless, and he could feel the raw strength coursing through his veins. It was a feeling of absolute empowerment, as if he had tapped into a boundless reserve of energy that had always been within him.
Finally the transformation ended as the pleasant energy coursing through Ethan's body resided quickly.
With a sudden burst of speed, Ethan launched himself into the air, soaring high above the treetops with grace and power. He felt weightless and free, the wind whipping through his hair as he effortlessly propelled himself through the sky. It was an exhilarating sensation, and he reveled in the knowledge that he was now more powerful than ever before.
As he landed back on the ground, Ethan could feel the earth beneath him tremble ever so slightly, a sign of the immense strength that now resided within him. He flexed his muscles, reveling in the taut, powerful feeling that now defined his physique.
"Finally," he spoke out loud as he opened up the the system panel. It had taken him one year and seven months in total to increase his ability to Level 2.

"Hm," Ethan said as he tilted his head, distracted by the bear cub running towards him. It approached Ethan and jumped on him.
Carrying the cub in his arms, an understanding passed through his eyes. He seemed to have forgotten to name the little bear, even though he had been with him for seven months.
"I will call you Armageddon from now on," Ethan said, glancing at the cub while thinking about how cheesy the name sounded.
