The Interdimensional Chatroom brought together people from completely different worlds.
Some came from societies far more primitive than modern Earth. Others lived in places with technology barely beyond the medieval era.
That imbalance created an unusual kind of exchange.
Even the simplest modern knowledge—things like manufacturing techniques or chemical processes—could be revolutionary for someone living centuries behind.
In this particular chatroom, however, only three members could be considered "modern."
The administrator, Overlord.
A high school girl named Kana Kimishima.
And Noah Vale himself.
Overlord rarely spoke and carefully maintained an air of mystique, so he never shared practical knowledge that might make him seem ordinary.
Noah, of course, had been muted.
That left Kana.
Unlike the others, Kana lived in the modern world and had access to the internet. She frequently uploaded practical guides—things like basic chemistry, metalworking techniques, or the fundamentals of making glass.
Nothing secret.
Just information anyone could find online.
But for the members living in older worlds, those documents were incredibly valuable.
Naturally, they returned the favor.
Because their worlds were different, the things they shared often included personal skills, techniques, or disciplines that were unique to their environments.
When the others learned that Kana was just an ordinary girl, Master Ronin uploaded a document titled Praying Mantis Combat Style.
The Exorcist contributed a guide about supernatural symbols used in spiritual rituals.
And then there was The Noble Blade.
Apparently eager to maintain his reputation as an honorable figure in the group, he had uploaded something far more significant.
A file titled:
"Violet Dawn Energy Manual."
Noah stared at the screen, eyes gleaming.
Without hesitation, he opened the document.
The file contained a detailed training method centered around breathing control and mental focus.
Accompanying the instructions were diagrams of the human body, mapping pathways through which energy was meant to circulate.
Normally, something like this would have been extremely difficult to understand.
But The Noble Blade had clearly expected beginners to read it.
The document was filled with annotations—simple explanations, step-by-step notes, and even beginner-friendly warnings.
It almost felt like a teacher patiently guiding a child through their first lesson.
Noah leaned back in his chair.
Perfect.
He had planned to stay awake anyway.
Studying something new would help keep his mind active.
So despite the growing fatigue in his body, Noah began carefully reading through the manual, comparing the diagrams with the explanations.
Minutes passed.
Then hours.
His eyes grew heavy as exhaustion crept closer.
But he forced himself to continue.
Just before his mind reached the point of collapse, something unexpected happened.
A faint cool sensation spread through his head.
The fog of exhaustion lifted instantly.
Clarity flooded his thoughts.
Noah froze.
Then he immediately opened the blue interface.
Mind: 1.2 → 1.3
A new entry appeared in the system's analysis.
Training Analysis
You sustained focused mental activity for over eleven hours.
Extended cognitive strain has improved your mental resilience.
Your mental capacity has increased slightly.
Noah blinked in surprise.
"So that's how it works."
When one of his attributes increased, the condition associated with that attribute reset completely.
His mind now felt refreshed, as if he had just woken up from a full night of sleep.
But his body…
His body still felt like it had been run over by a truck.
"So only the mental side reset," he murmured.
The realization triggered another idea.
His eyes drifted to the number on the panel.
Unassigned Attribute Points: 0.4
If increasing a stat restored the condition tied to it…
Then those points could function like an emergency recovery tool.
In a crisis, he could boost endurance or strength and instantly restore his body.
Almost like a reserve energy pack.
Noah leaned forward slowly.
His gaze settled on two attributes.
Strength.
Endurance.
Originally he had planned to wait until tomorrow, once his body had recovered.
Now he wasn't so sure.
"…Why wait?"
Noah closed the manual and stood up.
His legs trembled slightly from exhaustion.
Still, he began moving again.
He positioned his feet and slowly performed a squat, following the same technique his trainer had demonstrated earlier.
"One…"
"Two…"
His legs shook as he forced his body downward and rose again.
Three minutes later, Noah completed fifty-three squats.
His legs finally gave out, and he dropped to the floor.
The system updated instantly.
The analysis suggested that only a few more similar efforts would push his physical limits further.
Noah barely caught his breath before rolling onto his back and starting another exercise.
Crunches.
Seven minutes later, he stopped.
His muscles had nothing left to give.
But according to the system, he was close.
Very close.
Noah clenched his teeth.
Then he did something absurd.
He began crawling.
Slowly dragging himself across the floor.
Three meters.
Five meters.
Ten.
Every inch required enormous effort.
At thirteen meters, something inside him shifted.
A surge of strength exploded through his body.
Noah staggered to his feet.
A strange cracking sensation echoed through his bones.
His muscles tightened.
His body felt as though it were being rebuilt from the inside out.
The system had triggered another increase.
And this time, the effect was dramatic.
His endurance improved—and with it came a complete reset of his physical condition.
But it wasn't just recovery.
His entire body felt… optimized.
Tiny imperfections vanished.
Old injuries faded.
The faint scar on his forehead from a childhood accident disappeared.
The slight blur in his left eye cleared.
Even the dullness in his skin from years of sunlight and fatigue seemed to fade away.
The dark circles beneath his eyes vanished completely.
The changes weren't drastic—but they were unmistakable.
For the first time in his life, Noah felt like his body was functioning perfectly.
Like it had been tuned to its best possible condition.
He stared at his hands, flexing his fingers slowly.
"…Wow."
A grin spread across his face.
"This might be the best starting point anyone could ask for."
Still smiling, Noah opened the panel again.
Then he froze.
The numbers had changed more than he expected.

Noah stared at the screen in silence.
Then he laughed.
His training wasn't just working.
It was accelerating.
