"What!! Has the difficulty increased?"
"The Host must work hard."
"So now what?"
"Shouldn't the Host get out of the bathroom first?" (- - -)
"Ahh, right."
Naoto left the bathroom, had dinner, and went to sleep.
The next morning was Saturday. Naoto woke up and decided to start his mission.
He decided to begin with running to strengthen his body. He went out to the garden and started running, trying hard to reach the required goal of 500 meters. The first mark to appear on the screen was 100 meters, then 200 meters, and so on. Naoto felt tired but continued moving forward. Finally, after great effort, he managed to reach the goal.
Then Naoto began doing push-ups to strengthen his muscles. He performed 15 consecutive push-ups. This challenge was difficult, but he didn't give up. He felt pain in his muscles but realized this was the price he had to pay to achieve his goal.
After that, Naoto performed squats to strengthen his leg muscles. He did 15 squats correctly and consecutively, feeling the challenge he faced. His muscles felt strained and tired, but he didn't stop until he completed the mission.
Then Naoto began doing sit-ups to strengthen his abdominal muscles. He performed 15 consecutive sit-ups, feeling tension in his muscles but continuing forward. He realized these exercises would help him achieve his goal and that he must continue the mission.
Ding!! Congratulations to the Host on completing the mission.

"Well, this is a bit difficult."
"The system encourages the Host."
After resting a little, Naoto began running to complete the mission.
Naoto started running slowly then gradually increased his speed, trying to maintain a steady pace so his body could endure the fatigue from training, using proper athlete breathing techniques to ensure his body received the necessary oxygen for optimal performance.
After finishing running, Naoto performed 20 push-ups to strengthen his arm and chest muscles, using correct push-up techniques like placing his hands at shoulder level and keeping his back straight during the movement. He tried to do the exercises correctly without injury.
After finishing push-ups, Naoto performed 20 squats to strengthen his leg and buttock muscles. He tried to maintain proper body position during squats, keeping his back straight and knees at a 90-degree angle. He also used correct breathing techniques during squats.
After finishing squats, Naoto performed 20 sit-ups to strengthen his abdominal muscles. He executed various exercises like upper body lifts, crunches, and side stretches. He tried to maintain proper breathing and avoid excessive movements that would cause unnecessary strain on his muscles.
Naoto completed the remaining missions despite their difficulty, and his level increased. In the last mission...
Congratulations to the Host on completing the fourth part of the mission.

"Take out the map and compass."
The system took out the map and compass with a notification:
"Does the Host want to merge? Yes / No"
"What does it mean?"
"Agreed."
The system merged the map and compass, and a large panel appeared full of information and buildings, pointing to a specific location marked with a black spot.
"What is this?"
"This is a map of your city."
A lock in the system has been opened.
Function (Map) has been unlocked.
Please head to the black spot.
"Is this the hidden mission?"
"Use Eye of Awareness."
Successfully equipped.
"Now let's go."
Naoto followed the system and headed to the black spot marked on the map. He felt both nervous and excited, eager to know what he would find there...
Naoto reached the designated area. It was a semi-mountainous region with surrounding mountains rising to the sky, giving the view a magnificent appearance. Dense trees covered the mountains, and flowers bloomed everywhere. The air was pure and refreshing, and Naoto felt happiness and peace upon reaching this beautiful place.
"Turn right and walk 125 meters."
Under the system's guidance, Naoto began walking on the rough paths leading to the black spot. The paths were narrow and full of rocks and fallen trees. He had to climb some difficult places to reach his goal, but he didn't give up and continued advancing with enthusiasm.
After hours of walking, Naoto finally reached a cave hidden behind the mountain.
The cave was dark and frightening, but Naoto didn't lose hope. He used the Eye of Awareness he acquired from the mission to see inside the cave. He entered carefully and began exploring.
While wandering in the cave, Naoto noticed strange symbols on the walls. He tried to understand and interpret these symbols but faced difficulty. He decided to continue deeper into the cave until he hit something like a wall.
Naoto examined the wall and found a small hole. He put his finger in it—it was like a keyhole.
"Could it be??"
Naoto took the key from inventory, put it in the hole, and turned it. Suddenly a notification appeared:
"The Host has entered the secret area."
"Do you want to start the mission? Yes / No"
"Yes, why do you think I traveled all this distance?"
Choose difficulty level:
Easy level
Medium level
Hard level
"I should choose carefully since I don't know what awaits me."
Naoto pressed the easy level, then another screen appeared:
Choose:

Naoto chose the first option and entered the room.
Suddenly the door closed. Naoto tried to open it but couldn't, then he heard the notification:

Walk in a straight path to the end.
