Two years later . 

[Congratulations, User had slept well, HP , SP and Chi have recovered, all negative status have been negated] 

Opening his eyes he looked around himself checking his surroundings first before stretching his body. He was in a small room with nothing but a bed, a small closet used to store clothes and a table with a chair on the side. It was more than he needed so he wasn't complaining. 

It was close to sunrise but it was still dark all around him. It didn't bother him much though, with night vision it was the same as day for him, although he could still tell the difference between the two.

He actually didn't need to sleep until sunrise as he had discovered that just falling asleep for three hours was enough for him to fully rest and recover back to full Health so everything after those three was extra for him, problem is he loved sleep way too much to not enjoy it to its fullest whenever he could.

The reason he had woken up so early today was that it was his fifth birthday and he decided to finally start his training, that's right he decided that it was about time to stop slacking and start working his ass off.  

With the gamer system aiding him it would be a waste to not do the best he can on training and the earlier he started the better, the only reason he hadn't started earlier was that his parents wouldn't let him.

Stepping softly on the ground to not wake his sleeping family up he did not make a single sound as he made his way to the exit, all thanks to a skill he unlocked at the age of four, one year ago.

[Stealth (Passive /Active) - Level 4: Allows the user to move undetected, decreasing both sound and presence, at higher levels the user can erase his presence entirely.] 

It was far from reaching the highest level but it was more than enough for him to avoid being detected by his family. 

He silently exited the tent and stood outside, yes the tent, there were no houses in the southern water tribe, they either lived in an igloo or a tent, and considering that he was the son of the tribe's chief their tent was comparatively luxurious. 

Still it was nothing compared to his previous life‘s apartment, he still missed modern day conveniences from time to time but it wasn't much.

'Phew, mission accomplished, now for the next part.' he thought to himself.

Standing outside the tent he felt the cold morning breeze blowing on his body, creasing his skin. At first when he had just started sneaking around in the morning and sometimes at night it was still difficult for him to stand it, it was almost unbearable, but now even though he didn't unlock a skill or anything like that it was a little easier.

And considering the fact that he could negate all negative effects with a good night of sleep he wasn't worried too much about getting a cold or falling sick. 

And if he endured long enough he was certain that he would get an ability to resist such cold sooner or later. And it seemed this was his lucky day. 

[Endurance +1]

[Ding*]

[Through the repetition of a specific action a new ability is unlocked] 

[Cold resistance (Passive) level 1:Grants the user the ability to resist cold temperatures and reduce the damage of cold related abilities, at higher levels the user won't be affected by any degree of cold at all.] 

Immediately he could feel that it wasn't as cold as before outside and he was more comfortable.

'Sigh, this game system really is a cheat and unfair to everyone else.’ he thought, but he will gladly accept this cheat, he would be an idiot to do otherwise.

After walking a good distance away from the tribe he stopped beside the sea and set down to meditate first and sort his thoughts out. 

He had leveled up meditation in the past years to level 6, which although wasn't much but considering the speed that his skills leveled up it was a testament to how much he meditated. 

This was something he would do every day since he came to this world, especially when he was a baby since he had nothing else to do. 

One thing that motivated him to work extra hard on it was that he knew that in this world meditation was a key component, it could help him connect with his element better to improve his bending powers, calm his energy, connect to the spirit realm and also unlock his chakras, so it was a must and he never slacked off on it. 

'Sigh, what a life' he thought to himself, sighing as the cold air blew against his skin and the sound of splashing waves creased his ears, he still couldn't believe where he was and the kind of like he was living, although not as much as the first few years it was still unbelievable.

He had thought about why he ended up in his current situation a lot during the past few years, was it the work of some bored god? Or was it just some stroke of luck? If so, how should he explain the system? 

He had never gotten an answer for his questions and with time he stopped asking them all together and it did not bother him as much as it used to. 

Half an hour later he was done with his meditation session, raising its exp by 1% and opened his eyes feeling rejuvenated, after reaching level 6 his meditation was also more rewarding. 

The exp for his level, skills, and abilities is represented by percentages instead of numbers but it'll only show if he prompted the system to show it to him.

Stretching he started to do small laps around the borders of the water tribe making sure to not get too far away, after that he went through a series of push ups, sit ups, and squats finishing the physical part of his training.

After resting for a bit he sat up straight facing the ocean, taking a deep breath in he exhaled before starting to go through some water-bending motions he learned by observing some water benders of the tribe and by leveling up his water bending which was also at level 6 now.

He had discovered that just by leveling up his water bending skill he would naturally be able to learn the movements specific to water benders even if he had never seen them before. It just came naturally to him and integrated into his memories and muscle memory, such was the wonder of the system, the same was true for his stealth and possibly all his other skills.

'Slow and steady, feel the Chi inside as it moves and nourish each and every part of your body.' he thought in his head remembering the information he received when he leveled up as he slowly executed the motions. 

Slowly the water in front of him started to rise out of the sea and float above it and it kept increasing in size without stopping, forming a floating ball of water that he held there in the air. he also started to move it around a bit and play with it, splitting it into two balls then four then bringing it back together. 

Before long, sweat started pouring from his forehead and his breathing became haggard but he persisted nonetheless. He wanted to see how far he could push himself this time, but the most important reason he kept at it was that his water bending was close to leveling up, it was at 99.94% now. 

Repeating the same actions that he'd done before, he waited for the system notification to come but it seemed he would still have to suffer for a little while longer. 

99.95%

99.97%

10 minutes later. 

[Water bending 100%]

[Water bending leveled up +1]

[Water bending (Active) - Level 7:.....] 

Immediately he could feel the water he's controlling become lighter and easier to control as if it became closer to me. He could also feel the water further away that he couldn't feel before and he felt that with just a motion from him it would move.

Aside from the obvious improvements he could also feel a new influx of information entering his head, new motions and movements to better bend the water. 

‘I gotta say, I really love leveling up.’ he thought grinning from ear to ear, even though it might be slower then some novels and fanfics he read in his previous life but every level brought him a lot of improvements so it was pretty balanced.. 

After getting over his initial excitement his exhaustion finally caught up to him, “Fucking finally.” he cursed as he gasped for breath still holding the floating ball of water up, this really took a lot from him. 

'This should weigh about 10kg, not bad for a five-year-old.' he thought as his smirk became wider as he looked at the floating ball of water in front of me, although it was really easy to control it at first but the longer it went the harder it became. 

"This should be enough for now." muttering, he finally relaxed, straightening his posture and standing straight. He brought his hands down slowly as the water slowly floated down to the ocean barely making a ripple.

After he was done with that he moved to his next training practice, trying to create ice weapons! 

He was always a Fate series fan in his previous life, and getting a system and bending powers in this life he couldn't help but dream of creating something like the gate of Babylon or unlimited blade works through water bending, where weapons appear all around him and start raining down on his enemies like a divine punishment.

'Just the thoughts of my enemies dying under a rain of shooting ice weapons makes me shiver in excitement.' he thought with a hopeful look on his face, with the system around he believed that he could reach such a level. It might take a while but as long as he doesn't die an early death it was all but grunted.

‘Maybe I am getting a little too excited, I've never even killed anyone before so let's not entertain such thoughts for now.’ thought Levi feeling a little embarrassed by how he's imagining himself slaying armies when he had barely fought a real battle.

Sadly though he still didn't manage to turn water into ice yet, he knew the basic concept behind it but it still didn't work, he didn't know what he was lacking. 

'It must be that I still don't have enough mastery in water bending, after all, normal people need years if not decades to master it and I've only awakened my water bending 2 years ago, all things considered I am progressing nicely.' He thought, there was no use worrying about something he couldn't control, all he can do is try his best for now.

His theory was that he will be able to unlock it after reaching level 10 in water bending, there should be a huge transformation every 10 levels right? Or that's at least what he thought, he could only wait and see for now.

After spending about half an hour on ice bending just in case it worked and failing miserably he looked up to see that the sun was already halfway up the horizon. So he decided to try one last thing before going back to the tribe. 

Blood bending!! 

Yes he knew, he couldn't even do ice bending so there was no hope for him to succeed in blood bending but he had hopes and dreams too, plus blood was just water, he didn’t have to change its nature or anything of that sort he just had to control it like he controls water so it might be easier.

One advantage he had above other blood benders was that his blood bending had nothing to do with the full moon so he didn't need to wait until it was a full moon to train it, he could try anytime he wanted to.

Seeing a fish swimming in the waters below he trapped it in a water sphere and brought it up to the surface, throwing it on the ground where it started squirming and struggling before he started. 

But, no matter what he tried or how much he concentrated and forced himself he couldn't pull it off which wasn't that much of a surprise so he wasn't discouraged only disappointed.

After trying it for a while longer and seeing no success he threw the poor fish back to its home and family and went back to the tribe. his own family should be awake by now.
