As everybody else got on with their day, Adam returned to his apartment and continued ticking off his checklist of tasks.
He went to the closest optician and bought 5 pairs of contact lenses that would make his eye colour brown, which was his previous eye colour, and each one would last him 1 week before not being usable.
Adam needed money and resorted to borrowing a few hundred dollars from Cole, who didn't seem bothered by the small amount of money.
But Adam still insisted that he would return the money when he could, which would be when his business with Sarah began to earn money.
After that, he had found a clear split between his two identities.
During the day, or when he was with his friends and family, he was Adam who was ordinary and had a business with his friend. He had black hair and brown eyes and liked to wear a range of different clothing, that were mostly comfortable sportswear.
While during the night, or when he was in the dungeon, he was a merciless and a powerful cultivator of sorts. He still had black hair, but would be hooded with a ski mask and always wearing black clothing that would hide him in the night and would have red eyes.
Adam couldn't help but think of himself as a superhero of sorts that had two identities, but Adam had no inclination towards righteousness and was more focused on his own gain and protecting those around him that he cared about.
Although there were some lines he wouldn't cross such as harming or killing children or those that were innocent and or couldn't defend themselves, Adam was still willing to kill those that deserved to be killed or were his enemies, without any guilt or remorse.
"Now I should find some way that I can train and hone my skills in reality" mumbled Adam to himself.
Every since he had gained the mastery feature he was always curious to see how powerful 100% mastery and what different occupations and abilities that he could gain mastery of.
But now knowing that the price of each mastery percentage would be double the number of system points as the rank before, he was beginning to doubt ever reaching 100% mastery in a million years, unless there was another way to gain mastery and or System Points.
Which there was.
Adam already knew that he could gain mastery from practice and experience, and also knew that the system had other ways to gain System Points that the system had alluded to but not stated.
Not wanting to overthink everything and fall back into the endless pit that he fell into each and every time he attempted to figure out the origin of the system, Adam decided he should find a nearby martial arts or fighting dojo that would teach him close combat skills.
He had already said to Cole that he had done karate when Cole asked him how he had gotten so strong, so it went well with the story he had made about his trained and strong physique.
Looking online there were many small self-defence classes and different martial arts centres but from the images, none of them interested him and they all seemed to be ordinary.
After coming across the world of cultivation, Adam no longer knew what the limit of humans was and he was no longer satisfied with the norm.
But there was one dojo around mixed martial arts and fighting that interested him that he had come across after looking for quite a long time.
It wasn't posted online by the owner, but it was by people who had passed by and while they were on a hike. It said that the owner claimed that he could use chi through his attacks, which sounded similar to what Internal Cultivators would do.
However, it was only a small article on a blog page and it was most likely false news and the blog also stated that the dojo was weird, was in a remote location, and was probably just a scam.
It had no images of the inside and only had one image of a rundown and quite small dojo and it wasn't what Adam would expect an ordinary person to use, let alone a powerful cultivator.
Despite that, Adam still decided to check it out.
"I guess I shouldn't judge a book by its cover" mumbled Adam to himself as he left his apartment building.
Calling for a taxi, he gave the driver the location of the rundown shack, and the taxi driver was surprised and had never been asked to be taken to such a remote and empty area that was mostly forest land and had small mountains to hike.
It was quite a long ride and after 40 an hour, Adam paid the taxi driver quite generously for taking him to such a remote and empty area that was mostly surrounded by forest.
"This is as far as I can take you as the trees are too close together for me to go any further. But your destination should be a 10 minutes walk from here at most" stated the driver.
"Okay thank you" thanked Adam while paying him and leaving the taxi.
The taxi drove off leaving Adam in the secluded and empty forest, and Adam was slightly regretting his decision.
"Maybe I should have judged the book by its cover" mumbled Adam to himself regretfully as he lamented on his decision.
"But I am here anyway and might as well see what it's like inside and who is the owner and master of the dojo" decided Adam, not wanting to and unable to turn back.
He couldn't get any signal on his phone and without thinking too much about it began walking through the forest.
Adam was instinctively on high alert, being in such a dense forest that reminded him of Floor 2 of the dungeon, and began to run.
Picking up the pace, Adam rushed through the forest rapidly and reached the rundown shack-like dojo within minutes.
The front door of the dojo was open and seeing it up close it was quite large and would have enough space within it to fight, but comparing to other dojos it was still quite small.
"I wonder who exactly is inside and what he is capable of" wondered Adam as he headed towards the entrance.
