[SP-F2] Breaking the Unbreakable [Complete]

[Able 0]

He let himself have the same moment to stretch out himself just so his body didn't get too tight and so he could avoid as much potential injury as possible. It was a feeling he loved, stretching. Everyday, he would stretch and go straight to soccer practice, or to tennis practice where he would work out as hard as he could. Just like now, this time he was stretching only for him to go hard during the actual work out. After finishing his stagnant stretches, he got right back to the grinding stone and sent forward another fist with an elbow combo, which dropped the health bar of the boulder another nice number. Though it wasn't as significant as his previous two critical strikes, it was progress none the less and that's one thing Able wasn't going to complain about. Any damage is good damage at this point, even if it's just a single point of damage at a time. After all, he had spent so much time on this quest now, why not finish it while remaining on a positive note, or at least he was trying to.

Continuing his training, he had stayed focused and wouldn't let up on the punches. Even if some of the punches didn't do damage, he knew that it really was damage, but it was such a minuscule amount that it didn't register, but it does add up over time, which is why he does get the smaller hits here and there, which add up enough to make a critical hit eventually. So even if this set of attacks didn't do much to it at all, he knew that if he stayed dedicated throughout the series of attacks that eventually he will see that health bar drop another nice number. Keeping an eye on his energy number, he realized that it hadn't changed for a while, especially because he wasn't failing utterly at attacking an inanimate object.

While attacking the boulder some more, he continued to think of Opal. A woman he had met just shortly before he went out to go training. The woman was beautiful and he was excited to see her again. It's been a fair while and in all honesty, there were still so many questions that he had for her. So many things that were left unanswered that night, and yeah sure, he did sleep with her, it wasn't anything that absurd either, but it was enough for him to have a drive to become as strong as her, because he could tell she wasn't exactly a weak person in this world. She carried herself about as if she had some sort of power, and that's why he wanted to be stronger. Perhaps he would see her at the front lines some day.

There were so many people that he had met, but then there were others he had only been acquainted with and that was simply because they were with another person at the time. He needed to become stronger to get gear, to get himself money, to set up a foundation for his future if he was going to be here for a long time. Perhaps he would find a woman for himself at one point as well, or maybe he'd even go back to sleeping around with dozens of women. That was all a matter of the future. All of these thoughts of people he's met in his life so far here while he was attacking away were coming across his mind and in all honesty they made this quest that much easier because now it wasn't the only thing he focused on. It was nice to let his thoughts drift off a bit to a point where he didn't know what he was thinking about anymore.

Able thought to himself of what life was like outside of the game. A way to remember how human he used to be and how he's already changed so much just from a while in this game. Would he honestly spend the rest of his life in here, or perhaps would he get to see the end of the game one day and get to see his family again, his mother. His father. His sister. His ex-girlfriend. All of these people that have had such a massive impact on the person he's become and the things that they have done and said that have influenced his behavior to this day. Granted Able was a very respectable person if you got to know him, but if you didn't then he was an asshole, someone that you don't want to get on their bad side. Nostalgia of his past life began to settle in, however that moment was short as it was broken by the connection of another attack against the rock.

Perhaps he had considered at one point to be a very respectable person and to be a very kind and loving person that could be everybody's best friend all while still being responsible and mature when it needed to be. Instead he turned out to be a narcissist who does nothing but tout about his-- well everything. Able was the person he had become, Tobias on the other hand was slightly better than he is now. He sent another direct attack at the boulder that stood before him, which happened to slightly more damage on it as he watched the health gauge drop slightly further than it had been just moments ago. It was so close now and he was prepared to finally get into some combat after he completes this quest. In all honesty he doesn't even want the combat stat anymore, now it's just the satisfaction of completing the quest that he wants.

Fist after fist, kick after kick, the attacks were altering and the strikes became more devastating on the boulder the longer he beat upon it. The spiderweb shattering of the boulder had begun to spread like a virus across it and he knew he was making great progress beyond this point. Ironically, this is probably going to be the hardest "combat" situation he'll ever have to be in, as all the other targets will have a chance to fight back, but instead he has to spend his time fighting a damned rock that does nothing at all. That's the part that perturbs him the most, that it doesn't, nor can it fight back. No fight is fun when the enemy target doesn't retaliate. Letting out another grunt upon contact with the rock, he saw the health bar chip down slightly further. "Nearly there," he said as he put a smirk on his face and set himself to be completely determined to make this the final stretch.

With only what looks like nearly five percent remaining of the health bar, Able realized he had been nearing the goal simply while multitasking, which at the moment was thinking about his past and aimlessly attacking the boulder in vital points where it would make it fracture further. Sending another kick with his shin at the rock, he felt a massive chip in the boulder break off. The piece of the rock had dispersed into nothing but pixelated pieces of data that flew into the air. "Let's go, time to take you down, buddy!" he yelled out loud sending another violent kick at it rapidly after the last one had just been completed. Weary for sure, the weariness began to fade away at the heat of the moment. Adrenaline had taken over his body and it was now just acting like fuel for his personal motif. Only a few more hits and the boulder should shatter entirely and the quest will be completed for him.

Deciding to give himself a fast breather, he stopped for maybe only three or four minutes, before he went right back to power grinding at the boulder with consecutive punches. The surface of the rock became severely rigid, and a lot sharper to punch so it definitely hurt more than it did earlier. With the cracks beginning to spread across the rock, they wrapped around the entire rock, and the health bar was minuscule at this point and one would have to really look to tell how low it was. Able sighed and grunted with every punch as they were harder to pull off without feeling the sting of the sharpened edges of the cracked rock. With every punch he saw more debris fall of and he realized the boulder was actually starting to chip apart. It was another great sign to show that he had made a ton of progress.

Unable to let himself take another break to give his hands a rest, he had to swap to his legs. Just like his arms, it hurt a lot worse, but he could see pieces falling off with every effort to make the boulder break. It shouldn't take much longer at this point. "Come on, baby. Break for me please!" he begged out loud as he had his eyes closed to mask the feeling of pain in his expression and he bit his lip hard enough to where he nearly drew blood from the excruciating pain that he was feeling. The boulder was his only opponent of the game so far, and he'd make sure this wasn't his last, however for a very long time at least, he will not dare fight another boulder just to break it for no damn reason. Boulders will forever be etched into his brain as a way to taunt him because they don't fight back and they don't actually do damage to you. They simply hurt when you punch them because let's be real here.... You're literally punching a rock. How dumb does a person have to be to decide to do something along these lines.

Another hit, another chip. That became the motto of the fight at this point. Granted he had been chipping the boulder for a very long time, but now he isn't just chipping it. He was breaking the boulder. The opponent that was inanimate before him was nearly done. It was a matter of one or two more hits and then it would all be over. He cracked his knuckles and shook his arms out as he sent forward two more hard and fast punches. Rock breaking and connecting with the ground, shattering on the impact into even smaller shards of the rock. He looked up and saw there was even less health. The health bar is nothing to him but a way to track his progress, not so much to see how close he is to breaking it, but how far into the quest he is into completing it.

Able knew he had to have sworn at least seven different times within two punches at least in pure joy and happiness. Seeing another piece of the boulder fall off, he realized that this next hit he would do after would be the deal breaker. He stepped back and didn't finish it immediately. Instead he watched the rock and simply gave it a nod. He rolled his head in a circular motion in order to roll out any kinks and the same for his legs, he was shaking out everything so that he could finish it with one final charged punch. Stepping backwards like everyone does when they're about to do a running superman punch, fatigued and weary, he was ready to end this quest. He was ready to get a solid night of rest in a normal bed and a normal room between four walls for him to just wind down and recover his physical strength while recovering the wounds that he had put on his hands.

Able smiled and then he looked at the rock with his eyes narrowed. He positioned himself so that he had the maximum power to his attack. Beginning his sprint at the rock, he winded his arm back and about half way towards the rock, he let his arm pick up momentum and he began to send it forward so that it would connect with the rock at maximum velocity and impact power. He yelled at the boulder as a form of battle cry. "This is it! This is where it ends, boulder!" He yelled at it as if it was a person, but he knew damn well the boulder wouldn't flinch, it wouldn't retaliate, it wouldn't even reply. The fist connected with the boulder and upon connection the massive boulder turned into a bright blue color and busted into digital pixels of the Cardinal system's data. The boulder had been destroyed, and there was nothing left of it at all. Being completely satisfied with the result of the explosion, after it was all died down and everything was over, a notification had appeared on his screen.

<<Congratulations!>> is what it said. He had been granted the award <<Martial Arts>> as an extra skill that he may now use in combat. Completely content with the reward and happy, he put his clothing back on, took the hand wraps off and dropped them on the ground. Though they would make great memorabilia but he'd rather not look back at the day he broke a rock as a massive accomplishment. Why couldn't it be a more interesting quest in all honesty like slaying a dragon with your bare hands and tearing off it's wings. Instead, the players were stuck with the quest to beat a rock aggressively until it shattered into hundreds if not thousands of pixels.

Beginning to make his way back to the main city, he had no intentions of looking back at this day and just wants to look forward as he can't wait for the first real fight to happen.
