James opened his eyes and a familiar view came to his view. He was currently sleeping in his room in his room. His mom is sleeping in her room downstairs. He checked his phone. It showed 13 April 2017 and time morning 5 'o clock. He was sent three years before the apocalypse. He remembers that it was exactly on 13 April 2020. So he has whole three years for himself to prepare for the worst. because he know if he tell his mother or his friends about zombies and dangerous beasts, they will not believe him. So he can only rely on himself only.
James went to washroom and saw his reflection in the mirror, A 18 year old fragile looking teenager with above average handsome appearance with blond hair. Their were no scars on his face like his past life which made him happy for a while but his mood went down as he saw his body.
"I will have to exercise and make my body stronger. Let's start from today." He thought but suddenly a mechanical voice rang in his mind.
" Good Morning Host, I am the system you ordered from the God. God has sent a small gift for you ,Do you want to open it." the system asked.
James was startled by the sudden lifeless sound but then he calmed down.He forgot about the system he asked from the God.
"Gift for me , let's open it and see what is inside"James said as he was thinking what can be this gift.
"Ding-Ding , Host has got a Good Luck Ring which increases luck by 10. and one S-Rank Body elixir."
A golden ring and a small pill appeared on James hand's.He quickly wore the ring as the luck factor is very important.
"System what does this body elixir do?"James asked.
"Body Elixir helps to repair bones and muscles in the body and it helps in releasing the toxins or waste materials from the body.
It is basically of Five ranks D, C, B ,A and S. Lowest is D rank and highest is S rank." System answered and continued "Lowest rank will have less effect and higher rank will be better"
"So should I eat it now or later " James thought ,"Let's eat it right now"
He sat cross legged and swallowed the pill. Just as he swallowed the pill, a terrifying pain erupted from his body but he continued to endure.The sound of bones cracking can be heard clearly and his body was continuously releasing a stinky black liquid.
After 15 minutes he opened his eyes and sighed in relief. He had never felt this much pain in his life but he continued enduring it. His body seemed little heavy and he was feeling very energetic.
He saw his reflection in the mirror and he was dumbfounded as his face had become more handsome as he can easily become a model and his body also became a little bit muscular. His height also increased a little bit. Overall there was significant improvement. and he was satisfied with the elixir.
"System show me my status" James said as he thought that like novels this system will also show his status to him. and a blue holographic screen appeared after him.

He was ready to go for the morning run but suddenly system said again,

Seeing the given quest and the rewards James was very happy as it was profitable for him and accepted the quest.
He went for the morning run in the nearby park. Doing pushups and sit-ups with this body was not that much difficult. He finished both pushups and pull-ups till 7 and then he returned home.
When he entered his home the aroma of fresh food hit his nose and he unconsciously head towards the kitchen. There he saw his beautiful mother making breakfast.
James saw his mother after 4 years as in his past life she died 4 years ago. So he was a little emotional after seeing her alive again. He hurriedly went towards her and gave her a tight backhug saying,"Mom". His mother was little surprised but when she heard his voice she got calm. She turned and she was surprised to see that her son seemed to be a little more tall and handsome.
"Son, you look very different today."she couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Oh nothing Mom I just decided to change myself for better. So, I went for a morning run and some exercise" James said
"Well that's good but suddenly what got into you that you decided to change yourself" she asked
"Nothing Mom I thought that after 2 months I'm going to college So I should make good impression on everyone but with my weak physique it is not possible so I decided to change myself" James answered seriously.
Hearing what he said his mother giggled and said ,"Well You have my support but first Go take a bath and come for breakfast ".
Then James went for a bath and wore neat clothes and headed towards dining table for breakfast.
