Heretic Trainer: The Gym Is My Cultivation Method

Garion looked at the storage bag filled with damaged World Cores and fell into deep thought for a moment. ”Atlas... how the hell am I supposed to deal with all these?”

Atlas glanced at the system screen before answering.

[From what I can see, the easiest and fastest method to absorb all these World Cores is through direct consumption.]

Garion froze.

He slowly turned toward Atlas, staring at him as though he had just heard the most ridiculous suggestion in his entire life.

”Direct consumption? Are you fucking serious?! Have you lost your damn mind?! These are World Cores, not some fucking nuts I can just snack on!”

Atlas simply nodded, his expression completely serious.

[I am fucking serious, Garion. Eat them. All of them.]

Garion’s mouth twitched.

Atlas continued without the slightest hesitation.

[The Divine Gym World exists inside your body. Therefore, the fastest way to integrate the laws contained within these World Cores into your world is to consume them directly.]

[Your body will serve as the bridge, allowing the Divine Gym World to absorb and assimilate their laws much more efficiently.]

[In short, stop complaining and start eating. This is the fastest method.]

Garion frowned, but in the end, he let out a long, helpless sigh. ”Fine, then. I’ve eaten worse things before... I can handle this.”

With that, he grabbed one of the damaged World Cores, tossed it straight into his mouth, and immediately crunched down on it with his teeth.

Crunch! Crunch!

He chewed twice before swallowing.

However, instead of looking disgusted, Garion’s expression suddenly became rather strange.

”Hm... This taste...” He smacked his lips thoughtfully before nodding. ”Well, at least it’s not as bad as Mersha’s potions.”

Atlas froze for a moment.

[That is... surprisingly impressive. I honestly expected you to complain more.]

Garion shrugged. ”Bro, after surviving Mersha’s experimental potions, my stomach can probably digest a fucking universe.”

Atlas nodded in agreement.

[Fair enough. Now that we’ve established you can eat them without any problems, hurry up and finish the rest.]

Garion grabbed another handful and swallowed them one after another.

GULP! GULP! GULP!

The moment the World Cores entered his body, Atlas immediately began controlling the system.

Blue-white light spread through Garion’s chest, guiding the broken world foundations toward the [Divine Gym World].

Inside that empty personal world, the barren land trembled as the first damaged World Core slowly dissolved, scattering its laws throughout the space.

One by one, the rest of the World Cores also began to dissolve, their fragmented laws breaking apart and spreading in every direction.

After the laws scattered, they slowly began to fuse with one another before merging into the world itself, causing the [Divine Gym World] to undergo a dramatic transformation.

It was no longer a wasteland.

A sky began to form overhead. The ground became thicker and more stable. Rivers finally appeared, flowing across the land, while hills began to rise from the earth.

More and more world laws continued to manifest, making the entire Divine Gym World feel increasingly complete and alive.

Garion closed his eyes, carefully sensing the changes taking place inside him.

After a moment, he opened them again, a satisfied grin spreading across his face. ”Finally! It’s actually starting to become a real world!”

Atlas nodded.

[A weak world, but yes. It has finally begun forming properly.]

Garion’s eyes suddenly lit up with excitement. ”Oh? So... does that mean I can finally put people inside it now?”

Atlas paused for a moment, seemingly considering the question.

[Technically speaking, yes. The world has developed enough to accommodate living beings, although its current environment is still rather primitive.]

Garion’s grin immediately turned dangerous.

Atlas noticed that expression and quickly raised one tiny hand.

[But before you get any stupid ideas, let me make one thing clear. Do NOT turn it into a fucking death camp on the very first day.]

Garion burst into laughter. ”Hahahaha! No promises, bro!”

Atlas stared at him silently.

[...Why the fuck did I even bother warning you?]

---

Garion decided to find Rachel, and when he finally located her, she was lying comfortably on her bed, enjoying some well-deserved rest.

The moment Garion entered the room, Rachel turned toward him with a gentle smile. ”Is everything handled?”

Garion nodded with a satisfied grin. ”Yep! Thanks to killing another candidate, I managed to obtain something pretty amazing. A [Personal World]!”

Rachel blinked in surprise. ”A Personal World?”

Before she could ask anything further, Garion quickly raised one hand. ”Don’t ask. Long story. Basically, I now have an entire world inside my body.”

Rachel stared at him silently for a few seconds, seemingly trying to process what she had just heard.

Then, she simply shook her head and smiled helplessly. ”Of course you do.”

At this point, she was starting to wonder if there was anything her husband couldn’t somehow obtain.

Garion coughed lightly. ”Anyway, there’s something I want to ask you.”

Rachel tilted her head curiously. ”What is it?”

Garion scratched his cheek. ”Well... do you want to enter that world?”

Rachel’s eyes softened slightly, though she remained quiet, waiting for him to explain.

Garion continued, ”According to Atlas, the [Divine Gym World] is still pretty weak, but it can grow stronger and develop more properly if the right people enter and help stabilize it. And since you’re basically a Love Goddess...”

Rachel raised an eyebrow, a faint smile appearing on her lips. ”Basically?”

Garion immediately grinned. ”Alright, alright. You’re my beautiful Love Goddess. Happy now?”

Rachel’s cheeks warmed slightly at his shameless words, but she didn’t look away.

Garion chuckled before continuing in a more serious tone. ”Anyway, with your [Love] authority, I was thinking that if you entered the world, you formed a connection with it.”

He grinned. ”With that, you can nurture it; your authority might help it develop in a much better direction. You know, make it feel more alive instead of just being some empty world.”

Rachel looked at him quietly for a moment, considering his words, and, without the slightest hesitation, she nodded. ”Alright, then. I’ll do it.”

Garion blinked. ”Wait... that fast?”

Rachel slowly rose from the bed and stepped closer to him. She gently took his hand in hers, her expression filled with warmth and affection.

”Of course. I’m your wife, Garion. If there’s something I can do to help you, then I will. There’s no reason for me to hesitate.”

Garion stared at her for a moment before his usual mischievous grin softened into a genuinely warm smile. ”Heh... Thanks, Rachel.”

Rachel simply smiled back, gently squeezing his hand. ”You don’t need to thank me. We’re husband and wife, remember?”

Atlas floated beside them, crossing his tiny arms as he watched the couple being affectionate with each other.

[Hey, hey! Enough with the lovey-dovey bullshit, okay? Save that for later. Now, give me a moment. A spatial gate should appear soon.]

A moment later, the space in front of them began to ripple, and a glowing spatial gate slowly materialized.

Atlas casually shrugged.

[There we go. Just enter that gate, and you’ll be transported directly into the Divine Gym World. Simple as that.]

Garion smiled and gently placed his hand on Rachel’s shoulder. ”Don’t worry. Atlas will be there to keep you company, and whenever I have some free time, I’ll come inside.”

Rachel nodded gently before giving him a playful grin. ”Then I’ll be waiting for you inside, darling. And remember to take good care of your stamina, alright?”

She leaned closer, her voice becoming softer and more teasing. ”Because when you finally come to visit... I might just eat you up.”

Garion’s grin immediately widened. ”Hahaha! Is that a threat or a promise, my dear wife?”

Rachel giggled softly. ”Why not both?”

With that, she gave him one last affectionate smile before turning around and walking toward the spatial gate.

A moment later, her figure disappeared into the glowing portal, leaving Garion standing alone in the room with a wide grin on his face.
