Atlas truly wished there were an easier way to level up. A method that did not involve constant pressure, endless battles, and pushing his body to its limits every single day like he always did.
If possible, he would have chosen a smoother path. Something less punishing. Something that did not demand blood, sweat, and near collapse every time he aimed higher.
So far, that had never been his reality.
Many people had already said that Atlas had crossed what they considered a normal limit. They believed he had gone too far in chasing power. But in the end, he achieved it. He gained extraordinary progress. He acquired rare skills, powerful attributes, hidden advantages, and influence that most lords could not even imagine. Everything he had now came from stepping beyond what others thought was reasonable.
In this training session, he only needed to gain 28 levels.
On paper, that number did not sound overwhelming.
But reality was different.
