Garion and Dahlia had retreated some distance from the shaking ruins and found a sturdy tree branch to rest on.
Both of them slumped against he trunk, exhausted, and because the rumble didn’t stop... they slept.
After a few hours, the shaking had finally quieted down, and when Garion woke up and glanced toward the ruins, he froze.
Instead of broken ruins, something completely different stood there.
A massive structure rose in the middle of the clearing. It had smooth walls, straight lines, and glass-like panels.
A glowing sign sat above the entrance, bright letters spelling out two words.
Garion rubbed his eyes with both hands, wanting to ensure that it was real.
"The system... it actually did it. It said it would give me a new gym and... Damn. It really made one. A proper fucking gym... like the one on earth."
He turned quickly and shook Dahlia’s shoulder.
"Dahlia, wake up. You gotta see this."
She soon woke up, blinking groggily.
"Ugh... what is it, Master?" Did another beast..."
She followed his finger and froze. Her jaw dropped open so wide that Garion thought it might unhinge.
"The hell? What the hell happened here?!"
Dahlia jumped to her feet, pointing both hands at the buildig.
"How can the ruins suddenly turn into this... this weird thing?!"
Garion only grinned at her reaction.
"Weird, huh? Yeah, I guess you could call it that. It’s not shaped like the building you’re used to."
He then looked back at the new God Gym again.
The building resembled a modern mansion combined with a luxury resort, gleaming with black accents.
Wide steps led to the entrance, and the glowing sign above it boldly announced its name to the world.
Dahlia’s mouth hung open again as she walked toward it.
Garion laughed and pointed at her mouth.
"Close your mouth already, or some insect might just crawl inside."
Her face turned red as she snapped her mouth shut.
"M-Master! That’s not funny! And... Just what the hell happened?! How can this strange building appear out of nowhere? And most importantly..."
She pointed her hand toward the glowing sign above the gate.
"How does it already have the name of God Gym on it?!"
Garion smirked and crossed his arms.
"Because from now on... this is our place. The new base of our God Gym."
Dahlia blinked hard, her brain struggling to process.
"Our... place? Master, just how did you do this? I never knew you could do something ?"
Garion laughed softly.
"Haha, of course it’s a secret. But still, it wasn’t easy, I tell you. It even consumed the Black Origin to make this."
Her eyes widened. She stepped closer, trembling.
"What?! The Origin?! No wonder... You mean... You used it as fuel to create this weird building?!"
Garion replied with a shrug.
"You could say that I indeed use a forbidden magic to do this. But what matters is we have our own gym now."
Dahlua put her hands on her head, completely overwhelmed.
"Unbelievable... an Origin, just gone like that. And in return we got..."
She gestured helplessly at the weird structure.
"A... a mansion? A resort? A... gym?"
Garion smirked wider.
"Not just a gym. The God Gym."
Dahlia still looked as if her world had flipped upside down. But finally, she let out a long breath.
"I don’t get it. But fine. You’re the Master. If you say this is worth it... Then it is worth it. I hope that it’s really worth it."
Garion smiled, patting her shoulder.
"Good answer, Dahlia. Now, let’s go inside and inspect our new gym."
They walked up the stairs and stepped through the wide double doors.
Inside, teh hall gleamed as if freshly polished. Row of empty rooms stretched out on both sides.
In the center, a wide hall had wooden floors, high ceilings, and mounted light that glowed faintly.
Garion’s breath caught for a moment as his smile grew wider and genuine.
"It’s too similar. Too similar to my own gym from my old world."
He walked across the floor slowly, running his hands along the walls, memories flashing in his mind.
But then his grin returned.
"Thought it’s empty now... It’s really the same old gym I had in my past life."
Dahlia crossed her arms, still looking around with disbelief.
Garion turned to her, eyes gleaming.
"Now? We filled it. Piece by piece, we’ll build he greatest gym this world has ever seen." Read complete version only at novel-fire.net
Before Dahlia could reply, a familiar blue screen appeared in front of Garion.
[God Gym has been formed]
[Choose two facilities to unlock]
[2. Restaurant and Bar]
"What the... There are only two options. Why even make me choose?"
He sighed and tapped both at once.
"Fine, whatever. I choose both."
The moment he confirmed, the entire building began to rumble again.
Dahlia braced herself, gripping a nearby wall.
"What is this again, Master?! Don’t tell me it’s falling apart!"
Garion smirked, steadying himself.
"Relax. It’s just renovating some of its rooms."
The trembling intensified, and from the hallway ahead, two large doors glowed brightly, and the spaces inside began to change.
The left hall expanded outward, the floor stretching into a massive open room.
Strange metal racks appeared, followed by bars, plates, ropes, and mirrors along the walls.
Heavy benches and squat racks lined up perfectly, while faint lights glimmered above.
Dahlia’s mouth fell open.
"What... what is all this stuff?"
Garion’s grin widened.
"Of course, our training equipment. The heart of every gym."
At the same time, the hall on the right underwent a transformation.
Tables and chairs appeared one after another, neatly arranged.
A counter formed at the far side, followed by shelves, cooking tools, and bottles filled with strange liquids and powders.
Dahlia blinked rapidly..
"Master... is that a place to eat?"
"Exactly," Garion said proudly.
"A restaurant and bar. Fuel for the body before and after training."
He crossed his arms, watching the two halls finish forming.
"Now, it’s really starting to look more like a home."
Dahlia could only shake her head.
"Only the Master could call this strange building home. I also began to wonder if Master is really a human..."
Garion only laughed, hearing what Dahlia said, his laugh filling the new halls.
