Waiter from Nowhere

Chapter 9: Sharpening



After that vacation. I'm back on my same routine. But this time I was locked up in my house. I use some thousands of my money which I get from Jacob to buy gym equipment.

When we were driving. I had this thought "If I want to protect this kind of day. I need to be strong". So I planned to study my mana and elements.

I haven't used it since I became a gift user. I'm scared because that time I was young, I accidentally used my mana and the darkness was swallowing me.

But now, I'm physically and mentally trained. I am determined right now. I have five months to train my gift.

First week I familiarize myself with darkness. No lights on my house and I cover all the windows. Meditation, to keep myself calm when it turns dark again like last time.

I discovered too that my elements depend on how strong my mentality is. When my gift is activated half of myself is in the abyss and the other half is in reality.

For the past 5 months I've been doing training and weight lifting. Not seeing a single light.

I feel like I'm walking in the abyss. No not just walking. I'm living in the abyss. My eyes adjust to the dark. I keep training and training. No one would help me. It's just me, myself and I. "That's the mindset" I said it to myself.

After a few months. The owner updated us that we were going to open the restaurant next week and we should prepare.

After the announcement, I go back to my daily routine. I woke up at 7am, and went to the gym at 8am. While walking, I noticed people looking at me.

It is natural, I haven't cut my hair, beard, mustache but I thought to myself that if I had dirt on my face but I washed up my face before going outside.

I'm in a gym and I greet the gym attendant there. "Oh if it's Jay but you are quite different. Long time no see" he said. There's a mirror in the gym and I'm looking at myself and I'm shocked.

My body is different. I got so many muscular builds. The attendant looked at me and said "What are you doing for the past few months?" I replied "Doing a workout at home."

"You're ripped men, I can imagine how intense your workout is" he replied. After that shocking moment for me. I'm quite satisfied right now.

After that conversation, I lift weights like I usually do in my home. Go back home and read some books. I need to read some books for mind exercises. For one week, I just go to the gym and read some books at home. "I don't have a fantasy book that Ican widen the knowledge of my gift" I said it to myself. So I went to our local library. I couldn't find the book that I was looking for but I found a book for martial arts. I read it and finish it in three days and went to the library to return it.

And the day comes that the restaurant is going back to business. I'm excited because of how I miss serving people and other beings. I'm looking forward for it. What is the changes of the renovation, I wish we had a new uniform like a butler style uniform. I imagine in my head that I'm a hunk server if that's what happen.
