That evening when Sarah got back from work she meet dinner already prepared and the dining set.
After having her bathe and changing her clothes to more comfortable ones she sat at the dining table digging in to the food while she was bathing Kieran had reheated the meals, they both sat in silence enjoying their meals. After the last scoop of food was eaten up Sarah raised her head and looked at Kieran who immediately stood up to clear the table taking the dirty dishes off to wash them.
" When do you leave? " she asked
" Next tomorrow "
" Will you be okay?"
" I don't know, feels like I am loosing you too "
" Well you're not loosing me, I would be fine "
" Two years is a long time " Sarah said staring at his back as he did the dishes.
" It would go by in a flash I promise, and then I would return home " he said with a smile turning to face her.
" Yeah it will first you but for me it would seem like torture the house would become extremely empty and quiet without you " she said.
" Just for two years then you wouldn't feel like that anymore " he replied as he walked back to her and hugged her tightly.
" Now I am the one been squeezed " Sarah said returning his hug with more squeeze.
*******
The next morning Kieran woke up to Sarah's usual call but this time was different as she was still home and was calling him to breakfast.
Waking up with groggy eyes Kieran first blinked to clear his vision before opening the system screen.

Opening up the quest tab he looked through it

" What!! " seeing the new daily quest Kieran was stunned he understood that the former set of daily quest didn't benefit him any more as he had gotten used to doing a hundred push ups and sit ups but doing two hundred was another thing entirely and not just that the added hundred pull ups was another thing entirely not to talk about a mile run the system was pushing him extremely it seemed like if he wanted to level up he would have to double his effort.
" Kieran, come on breakfast get off that bed " Sarah yelled from the kitchen.
" Am coming, give me a moment. "
"Hmm"
" If I want to get stronger I guess I need to go the extra mile for that "Kieran said to himself as he began the quest starting with push ups.
One hundred push ups didn't put to much strain on his body like it used to as his stamina was the highest of his stats and Kieran could feel the changes to his stamina. Doing one hundred push ups didn't tire him out anymore but going further definitely did.
" 150 ..... 151 " after getting past one hundred Kieran started to feel exhausted but he pulled through and continued but now in the 150 mark he started to feel his own weight pressed down on his hands, his hands started to shake, he felt pain all through his hands up to his shoulder, trying to ignore the pain Kieran continued but now it felt like his hands were about to explode his muscles stretched out from exhaustion his veins began to show running from his palm up.
" 160 ... 161 " by the time he got to one hundred and sixty his hands already felt numb his eyes were already tearing up, the pain had spread to his legs and he felt like they had beaten him.
" 180 ..... 181 " his chest already started to ache and his heart was pounding heavily his head started to buzz and his eyes started to turn.
" 190 ..... 191 " at this point he felt his heart was starting to slow and his bodily functions were running in reverse, his brain was starting to ache.
He was having a serious headache and he felt like he was going to die any minute.
" 198 ... 199 " at this point his body started to pick up again it felt like everything that just happened was a bad dream the pain was still there but he felt like he could keep going, he felt energized, like someone was pumping energy into his body by the second.
