Apollo started to run towards a park near his house. Most of the people that knew him, looked surprised and shocked at the sight of the boy that rarely come out of his room and when he would get out to by living necessities he always like like he was carrying a bus on his back going to jog.

Ever since he came to this world, Apollo never tried to run because if he only could do around ten pushups then what about running? He would get tired after just going from his house to a grocery near his house.

The feeling of running and the pain that Apollo felt, made him enter a special state.

The distance from his house to the nearer park was about twenty miles, so for the old Apollo to go through that distance was like giving him a death sentence.

After half an hour, Apollo reached the park but he was still on that special state. He only got out of that special state when he received a notification from the system.

[Ding!! Strength and Dexterity raised to 1 after an intense workout and also because host entered the 'Emptiness' state!!]

Apollo was stunned at the notification of the system.

'Already!? Only a jog and my stats are already the same as a normal man. Hmm... I was really lucky to perceive that state.'

"System, what is the 'Emptiness' state?"

['Emptiness' state is when the user is solely focused on the activity and completely oblivious of their surrounding, amplifying the effects of such activity!!]

Appolo after reading that noticed something was weird and asked the system:

"So, I could have gotten run over by a car?"

[Ding!!]

[Ding!!]

[Ding!!]

[Due to important remark host's intelligence raise to 1.1!!]

Apollo almost tripped hearing that. The system was getting funnier and funnier, so funnier that probably at some point his jokes would kill him.

After reaching the park, Apollo found a good spot to start training near the lake under a tree.

He started by calming his mind by doing some meditation. He learned it after reading an essay about focusing and molecular reactions on the brain.

Apollo opens his eyes after calming down. He got up and started doing pushups, squats, and sit-ups. Then he started doing the basic movements from all martial arts.

In the beginning, he was doing every move like a clumsy robot with no fluidity and not enough power. After some minutes he was already doing every move with power but yet no fluidity. Apollo stayed at that step with no improvement till it was already noon.

'I must be missing something, but what?' that question popped every time Apollo finished a set of martial arts.

After a long time without results, Apollo sat down leaning against the tree. As it was already noon the park was nearly empty making the only sounds in the park without being the gasping Apollo were the multitude of animals and insects and the flowing waters of the lake.

Thinking about that, Apollo stopped gasping and focused on the lake. At this time of the day in the winter, it was normal to be constant masses of wind in the park, so it was normal that the water of the lake wasn't still but moving like the waters of a river.

Seeing those movements made by the water, the constant movement in chain without ever disturbing the sequence without any rushed or slow movement. Everything was moving with the same purpose without breaking the fine balance between them.

Apollo's body began moving itself trying to replicate what the waters were doing. At the start, it was still the same rushed set but as the feeling of 'Be like water' deepened into Apollo's mind his body began to move slower when the water was slow and faster when the waters were faster.

The constant movement made so that anyone that saw Apollo practicing, instead of seeing a young boy doing some martial arts movements see a river in constant change as it could be a smooth river trailing between mountain and valleys without causing disturbances or a raging river capable of destroying everything in its way.

Apollo never thought that the most basic martial arts movements and the perspective of perpetuity could give birth to an amazing set of martial arts capable of either defending or attacking or both at the same time.

Finishing the full set, Apollo couldn't help but smile at the feeling of accomplishment when he heard a sound in his head.
