Adrian slowly regained consciousness, his body aching as he woke up in the cold storage. The air was frigid, making his warm breath visible. The room temperature must have dropped quite a bit for that to happen. However, he didn't feel the least bit cold.
'God, it hurts...'
As Adrian forced himself off his ass, the flash of pain crossed his mind. But it was nothing compared to the shock he received by seeing all the blood and vomit around him. Even pieces of his skin were scattered, making it seem like a human balloon had been popped inside the room.
He glanced down at himself and saw that his body had undergone a dramatic transformation. His muscles were more defined as if armour plating had covered his body. His skin became more rigid, and he could feel a new, raw power coursing through his veins.
